Just beautiful:
Universal health care, free university education for all, a more realistic foreign policy, freeing science from superstition... All of these Obama initiatives not only sound good, they sound wonderful, thrilling.
But somehow, at this moment, the new president and his government's lovely initiatives mostly remind me of the pediatricians and the nurses at a children's cancer ward organizing a big Christmas party... for the summer.
Aside from Santa Claus, the doctors don't know who else will still be around to decorate the tree, but at least thinking about the future goodies takes our minds off of our poor little, pale, bald heads.
For, truly, at this point it is not just "it's the economy, stupid", it is more like "it's the economy, dear Jesus".
