Snowbama

Snowbama. That’s what area folks are calling yesterday’s snow-and-inauguration mashup.

I thought the inauguration was fitting, and was glad Prez O didn’t promise the moon and the stars. I was also thrilled to see that he and Michelle hopped out of their limo to walk the parade route, a la Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. One of the first signs of problems with George W. Bush’s term for me was the tank of a Cadillac he rode in during his inauguration. While admittedly Bush likely didn’t have any say about the car, something about that rubbed me the wrong way.

Anyway, time for Prez O to get to work. And what a daunting job it is.

  1. Come on Mark. It is no secret that you did not like George W. Bush as president. Would it have rubbed you the wrong way if Obama decided to ride instead of walk. Probably not.

    What is wrong with the “tank of a Cadillac”? I think all of our presidents should be afforded the utmost security. Would you rather they ride in a Prius?

  2. I do not have a high opinion of GWB, true. But I’m talking about my impressions right after he took office. Believe it or not, I was willing to give him a fair shake at the beginning. Sadly he didn’t live up to my expectations, meager as they may have been.

    There have been plenty of other official state cars with adequate security. The new Cadillac, with its massively-thick windows, just sends the wrong message.
