The Onion MUST be writing for the AP now.

Notice the smug look on Pelosi’s face in the picture accompanying the article?

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama opened his presidency by breaking sharply from George W. Bush’s unpopular administration,

(by closing off any unflattering press questions)

but he mostly avoided divisive partisan and ideological stands. He focused instead on fixing the economy, repairing a battered world image and cleaning up government.

(which he seems ready to do by speech alone)

“What an opportunity we have to change this country,” the Democrat told his senior staff after his inauguration. “The American people are really counting on us now. Let’s make sure we take advantage of it.”

(Before they discover we have feet of clay)

In the highly scripted first days of his administration, Obama overturned a slew of Bush policies with great fanfare. He largely avoided cultural issues; the exception was reversing one abortion-related policy, a predictable move done in a very low-profile way.

(“low profile” means largely ignored by the press, who certainly know what’s good for them, If you take my meanin’)

The flurry of activity was intended to show that Obama was making good on his promise to bring change. Yet domestic and international challenges continue to pile up, and it’s doubtful that life will be dramatically different for much of the ailing country anytime soon.
(The flurry of activity was intended to placate the masses; please don’t expect miracles)

The rest of the story tells how Obama is trying to pander to both sides, seems to believe that he has a line-item veto, and is not like Bush or Carter.

Good luck Obama. I hope you have no crises while in office. You have no idea how I pray that you have no crises during your term; sort of like praying that the spare tire will hold until you get to the next gas station. Please. No bad things for the next four years. Please let this gullible, inexperienced, Chicago politician have an easy term. Please lord, I’ll take the gloating of the Democrats and the left, just please, go easy on America.
