Short Retort

I watched a clip of Obama’s train ride to DC and he said something which I honestly didn’t understand. At one of the whistle stops (I love that phrase and all it evokes!) President Elect Obama promised that “We will continue fighting for you every day.” In fact he repeated this line at additional whistle stops.

Uhm, excuse me? He won. He will be President and his party will control both the Senate and the House. So who exactly will he be fighting? Who is this enemy for “to fight” is to suppose that there is an opponent that needs to be fought. And yes, my greatest fear is that as Pogo said back in the 60’s “I have met the enemy and he is us.”
