It’s all over except for the muttering

With the long drawn-out race finally over, President Obama and Vice President Rodham have only a few months to get things done before the usual, short political “honeymoon” ends — probably in November, or January at the latest.
I don’t hold with the nattering nabobs who have already declared the Obama administration a failure. That’s just blatantly jumping the gun.
I mean, look at everything they have already accomplished. For example, appointing George W. Bush roving ambassador to Little League Baseball and other powerless allies was a stroke of genius, allowing the former figurehead-in-chief to fade away with dignity, a sort of diplomatic St. Jude spreading the joy of photo ops to lost causes around the world.
On the other hand, the Obamameister’s legislative agenda seems to have stalled, and I gotta ask, what is he waiting for? I hear he hasn’t cleaned out his old Senate office, and Michelle hasn’t even changed the drapes in the East Wing.
If I seem impatient, you have to understand what I’ve been through for seven and a half years. As a person whose relationship with reality is as who should say casual, I have had recourse to coping methods usually reserved for reading comic books.
In literary circles they call it “suspension of disbelief,” and you need it to shut down the law of momentum when Iron Man crashes into the earth at Mach 2, shakes it off and changes into a tux in time to dance with Gwyneth Paltrow. With all of Season 4 of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” on DVD to go through, I don’t appreciate having to expend my usually large reservoir of suspendable disbelief on Karl Rove’s applications of the U.S. Constitution.
Welcome back to the real world, President O.
