A quick observation as I watch Fox News before going to bed….

mod·er·ate (mŏd’ər-ĭt)
adj.

1. Being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme: a moderate price.
2. Not violent or subject to extremes; mild or calm; temperate: a moderate climate.
3. Opposed to radical or extreme views or measures, especially in politics or religion.

I chuckle when I think back about how Obama campaigned as such a moderate. The American electorate, including many of my good conservative Christian brothers and sisters (shame on you), just gushed over him, impressed with his eloquence, cool style, and calm demeanor.

But moderate he is not.

In his first 50 days, The Magnificent One has been anything but moderate. Reasonable limits? Not excessive or extreme? Not exactly. Instead we have this delicious little list:

• The largest proposed budget/largest projected deficit…EVER
• Reversed ban on federal tax dollars used for abortions overseas
• Reversed restrictions on embryonic stem cell research
• Closed Guatanamo
• Countless corrupt appointees
• Doom and gloom scenarios galore
• And much, much more!

You would think that this guy would have spread some of this stuff out over the next four years. But he has just come out blazing! Good for him. I’m impressed. Catch the sarcasm yet?

Thanks again to those of you who drooled over his messianic glory and voted for him. This is great. Sarcasm. Again.
