The annual Washington Correspondents Dinner is a not to be missed Washington D.C. social event, attracting not only the elites from the press and DC, but also a fair number of entertainment celebrities as well for traditionally humorous presentations, including from the President himself.
In 2010 the Country is at a point of flux, poised to go in any number of directions - and I think this event captured the spirit of the moment - in particular one joke of Obama's caught my attention - comparing his decline in the polls to the decline of the news industry.
There was however an unintended meaning to this joke - the decline of the elite, in general - including this audience as well as corporate America and Wall Street.
It would be truly ironic, yet positive, **if** the racists in this Country were successful in bringing down not only Obama, but also the entire elite. Many different things could happen these days, but certainly holding the elite responsible for their actions in proportion to their position would be a good thing - as would foreclosing on their houses.
And who knows, maybe we'd be better off using an American Idol type system to select our next President! I'd give it a shot...
