my brief foray into politics during my hiatus...

So, I was perusing Newsbusters, an awesome website, and came across this little tidbit.

 

Apparently some news anchor was shocked at the recent attacks in India, because Obama had been elected.  I kid you not, he actually says that he expected a lull in terrorist attacks solely because the One had been elected.

 

Here is his exact quote:  “You know, John, and it’s interesting because there are many who had such an optimstic and hopeful opinion of things, and you certainly can’t expect things to change [snaps fingers] on a dime overnight, but there are many who suggested that with the outgoing Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration there would be something of a lull in terrorism attacks. There had been such a global outpouring of affection, respect, hope, with the new administration coming in, that precisely these kinds of attacks, it was thought — at least hoped — would be dampered down.”  Alex Witt.

 

What a moron.  Back to my political vacation.

 

Peace, I’m out!
