While one hopes almost all Americans will be grateful if President Obama's plans work, there is one constituency that will be very, very unhappy with such success: Republican party leaders:
The GOP strategist had been joking about the upcoming presidential election and giving his humorous assessments of the candidates. Then he suddenly cut out the schtick and got scary serious. "Let me tell you something, if Democrats take the White House and pass a big-government healthcare plan, that's it. Game over. Government will dominate the economy like it does in Europe. Conservatives will spend the rest of their lives trying to turn things around and they will fail."
Considering that with the bailouts going to financial institutions right and left, and all the other industries lining up for help from D.C., the domination has arrived even prior to a national health plan.
So here's to success for the incoming President and, if so, there's no one more deserving of thanks than El Presidente Bush and his fellow Republicans, for opening up this historic opportunity.

One sunny day in Washington DC, January 21, 2009, an old man approaches the White House. To the U.S. Marine standing guard he says, "I'd like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine looks at the man and says, "Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here." The old man says, "Okay" and walks away.
The following day, the same man approaches the White House and says to the same Marine, "I'd like to go in and meet with President Bush." The Marine again tells the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here." The man thanks him and, again, just walks away.
The third day, the man approaches the White House and speaks to the very same U. S. Marine, saying "I'd like to go in and meet with President Bush."
The Marine, agitated at this point, looks at the man and says, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you've have been here asking to speak to Mr. Bush. I've told you already that Mr. Bush is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"
The old man looks at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."
The Marine snaps to attention, salutes, and says, "See you tomorrow."
Great joke, and I was just informed is actually an old joke,applied to "Goldberg" and a customer or ex-employee who kept calling his office because he loved hearing that he had passed away...
