Congratulations on your historical victory, Senator Obama. I am happy for this country.

After all, you were chosen by the electorate to act as a janitor for George Bush, Dick Cheney and all their ultra-rich cronies as well as for all the selfish bankers, CEOs and Wall Street jackasses who have invested their lifetimes into destroying this country and others' creations as well as stealing what little money that the average American has been able to save to support themselves.

Good Luck, because you're going to need it.
