Hey what's your problem, buddy? I don't know what your problem is.
Don't you know that the world changed on Wednesday? Investors know
it. Why don't you?
And lo, President Obama will rise, and gaze out over the land. And
his gaze will see problems and troubles. And he will say, "I see
great trouble in the land. I will change it, with change you can
believe in."
And lo, he'll raise his hand, and stretch his arm forward, and wave
it back and forth, so that it encompasses the entire land.
And lo, He will say, "Change! I command you to change!"
And the land will change. Idled machines will run again. Foreclosed
homes will once again ring with the laughter of children. Deserted
shopping centers will once again have their drugstores and pizza
parlors open again, bustling with customers. Jobs will be restored,
everyone's income will be above average, and people throughout the
land will be joyous and happy.
And lo, President Obama will gaze out over the land and see how much
has changed, and he will say, "This change is good."
Next, President Obama will gaze out over the world, and he will see
problems and troubles. And he will say, "I see great trouble in the
world. I will change it, with change you can believe in."
And lo, he'll raise his hand, and stretch his arm forward, and wave
it back and forth, so that it encompasses the entire world.
And lo, He will say, "Change! I command you to change!"
And the world will change. Hamas will sit down with Fatah, and
together they will sign the Roadmap to Peace agreement with Israel.
The Janjaweed militias in Darfur will lay down their arms, and will
apologize and offer peace to the farmers whose relatives they've
raped, beheaded and slaughtered. Iran will discontinue its nuclear
weapons program, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will beg forgiveness for
saying that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth. China
will say, "What the f--k, let's give Tibet and Taiwan their
independence, and quit all this hullaballou." And Vladimir Putin
will quit politics and start preparing to participate in the 2012
Olympics.
Your problem, buddy, is that you're too gloomy and negative. If
there's anything I can't stand, it's gloomy, negative people. If you
weren't so gloomy and negative, you'd understand what's going on.
Sincerely,
John
