...I can't help but wonder: are we Americans one big Bridezilla, focused on the wedding, and not on married life?
Not to harsh your Barack Obama buzz, but after all the dresses are shipped to the Smithsonian and Bono jets back to Ireland and Malia and Sasha put up their Jonas Brothers posters, our new president is faced with one heck of an overflowing ashtray to empty: wars, stock market jitters, a recession, bailouts, Bernie Madoff fallout, Gaza, tax increases, unemployment.
And it's not all George Bush's fault, either. Wait til you figure that one out ... | And like the giddy bride who married Mr. Right Now, something tells me our beloved groom is going to be sleeping on the couch before the inaugural champagne has lost its fizz.
And whose fault is it? Look in the mirror....Um, aren't we going all Disney princess on the man? Wake up, Sleeping Beauty. Barack Obama is just a man, not a fairy-tale concoction....
