“Mr. President, Your tank just arrived.”

The Colgate ad-worthy Obama (I must meet his dentist), is soon becoming the most powerful man in the known Free World.

Not physically. That title belongs to Mariusz Pudzianowski .

Anyway, pretty soon he’ll make the ironically named, White House his humble abode and start picking out ‘Welcome’ door mats for the front door; or maybe his Rayban wearing, earpiece flaunting, 9-mm piece cloaking and human shield ‘guardians’ could provide essential guidance in the matter.

Because he’s sure got more pressing matters to attend to while he’s occupying the Oval House, and efficient door mat selection apparently isn’t that important.  America’s quite ill health care system, a down-in-the-dumps realty sector, an economy with a bad report card, …yada yada yada and a stinky pile of due environmental-related legislation and promises to fulfill – maybe that’s when Greenpeace finally will stop renting panda costumes to protest in and disrupting  road and sea traffic.

To protect the incoming President, the Federal Reserve with a little help from the people down at the local mint, is funding a £300,000 (21.5 million Indian Rupees) Cadillac  - which if you ask me is a civilian and legal(?) version of the “stuff” you send to dethrone a psychotic dictator and suck the resulting ‘democratic’ nation dry of oil (Hmm.. Sound familiar Uncle Sam?).

Look at the graphic (Thanks John Lawson!). Get past that  smirk on the most important commodity in the vehicle. This big daddy in the world of limos definitely packs quite a deadly punch with far-from-standard tech.

Kevlar-reinforced tyres, an armor-plated gas tank, a little red ‘panic’ button for the big dude, . . .and a couple of all-American pump-action shotguns. Everything, but the kitchen sink.

Yeah, I agree with you. Its cool being President.

Nevertheless, Obama does have my blessings and best wishes. Not because, he’s my homie.

Not because he like M. Ali and Luther King broke invisible barriers and came out the other side victorious.Not because his dentist is real good. Not because I’m a Democrat. But because, he convinced those Americans and me that he was the right man to steer that dis-oriented and stumbling nation.

As the supporters cheer and pop champagne; some including myself are balancing anticipation and a hint of nervousness with our Bush-is-finally-gone joy.

Let’s hope he delivers on his promises. Let’s hope he does CHANGE things for the better.
