Obama, Obama, Obama!

I was so hopeful and it actually happened. I hope he can live up to all we expect from him. It's the only positive news I can think of from the whole year of economic disaster.

Somehow I became addicted to Countdown with Keith Olbermann and everyday Billo was the worse person in the world! There were a few times, Billo didn't make the cut, but, I think the closer we got to the general election, Billo made the worst person listings just about EVERYDAY!!!

HOW COULD YOU!!!

The bailouts (again, not my favorite stories) were probably up there too in importance.
