Let the keg party begin

A 40-Year Wish List - WSJ.com

The entire time that Obama was campaigning, it felt as though I was back in high school watching the older kids promising a keg party if they won the election for student government president.  That was the full extent of their campaign.  Well, they did make some other, little-researched, promises that were either impossible to implement or would give terrible returns on investment when the student government charter was taken into account.  They weren't going to effect any real change, but people would sure have fun.  Administrators frowned upon this, but could do little.  The drinking age was 18, the parents condoned the parties, and the student body was greedy for a good time.

The keg-promiser always won.

Fast-forward a couple of decades:
Obama is the keg-promiser and the party is now beginning.
