    I'm not a huge fan of Obama, but he did inherit the mess we are in now. He chose to step-up and become president, and now has to deal with whats going on. He's been in office less than 7 months, and definitely could not have created this deficit we have now in that time. Bush's "war" on Iraq and his mismanagement of the gov't created a huge deficit.

    we are in this mess because of Bush and his administration. If I'm not mistaken, Clinton left office with almost a clean slate for the next prez.

    I can see it now........... 3 1/2 years from now............" New York Time..........Obama..."I STILL "Inherited" this mess." It's about time he "man-Up." It's gotten old.

    Bush blamed 9/11 on Clinton in Sept. So Obama at least gets until then to keep the blame on Bush for the economy.

    he did inherit this mess and it may take into a second term to fix everything your guy fouled up, or even worse NEGLECTED to prevent. it is not an overnight process. he has had 6 months in office. give the guy a break. you can't fix everything in 120 days.

    ***edit due to my inability to spell "NEGLECTED"....

    i have no idea what your quotes are supposed to mean. ar ethey for sarcasm? even so i can not debate with you when you do not make a clear point. first off, who are you calling a facist? secondly, if you like palin and you say you are not a republican, what does that leave, an independant maybe? she prepresents all of the old tired ideas of the gop and she was on the gop ticket so forgive me for making that assumption.

    Oh my Gosh - Somedays I really hate this websight - can't quote more than three respnses" etc..Yaada, yaada, yaada.
    Anyway -sorry for all of my quotes. Apparently they have become a huge joke (like other on this websight).. Listen people. I do not support Obama's Policies. I've referred to him as a Socialist (as I was trying to be kind) He is more of a Fascist. So was Hitler. I DO NOT like BIG GOVERNMENT and never will. I also don't like having 34 Czars that weren't vetted. He is trying to get around the system. He is sneaky. I don't trust him. Neither should you. You all think Bush was bad. You haven't seen anything yet.

    I've gotten quite tired of arguing with you Leftists. My Boy Bushy. Don't call a man a boy - BOY. I can't wait until you eat your own words regarding Obama. I think I might hold you personally responsible. Regardless - I prefer listening to Mark Levine - versus Hannity. And I certainly don't like that "Leftist" Propoganda that the Left tries to email me on a daily basis. It's all equally nausiating.

    I don't know what to expect out of Franken... Hopefully we get a Senator that can think outside the box, and represent the people better than the rest of the gang on Capitol Hill.

    He should feel right at home with the other 100 comedians in the u.s. senate.

    By the way - I really love SNL. Thanks so much for the Chris Farley Complex. However - I've always loved Chris Farley (RIP!) I can take a joke. Hopefully - you all can as well. Thanks for the complex. I hope to give each of you one, too! Ha~!

    Seriously, Bush kept spending OUR money- 8 years of spending and leaving us in a world of hurt. We, the American people, are hurting- and people are looking to the gov't to make it right. Obama is not a Socialist, but when everyone is looking to him to solve the problems, then he is going to TRY to make it work.

    Again, it did not take us 6 months to get in this situation- it was 8 years of bullshit. it will take a year or 2 to TRY to make a headway in this mess. Obama is not passing the buck- he is owning it and we should let him try for a bit of time before we can say- he's full of shit.

    My pleasure. I didn't mean to offend by it either, I just couldn't see all the quote marks without thinking of that skit! In any event, fear not. I don't take things personal here. But I do aggressively challenge others' views whenever I can. It's not personal though.

    If "Lib" is short for Libertarian, you've got me pegged right. I'm far from a "Liberal" I'd say. If you like a lot of what Ron Paul speaks about, you're probably closer to my political beliefs than you think.

    And don't worry about being offensive, at least with me. I hate PC bullshit. PEACE!

    You are just too nice to dislike. I kinda like the "sparring" (even though I'm outnumbered here.) It's all good! I will never be able to watch another Best of Chris Farley episode of SNL and not think of this! Hopefully I won't start doing those annoying Air Quotes! BTW - Obama still sucks. ;)

    This has to be the first time anyone here has ever called me too nice. You may yet change your mind on that one ;)

    But I think we can all agree that Chris Farley was awesome!

    Bush definitely did some damage but Obama has quadrupled the debt in just 6 months. Obama is passing the buck alright. Right to the taxpayer and on down to next two generations. Could someone please explain to me why this isn't socialisim,

    To keep this relevent to the original poster - I can't stand Stuart Smalley....being a Senator. However - Chris Farley's skit I Live In A Van Down By The River" was always my favorite. Well - that is -Until I recently became re-introduced to Air Quote Guy - now my NEW favorite! Ha! Very funny!!!

    TOTALLY OFF TOPIC - but pertinent to soulsinging......, isn't that Edward R. Murrow in your avatar and not Humphrey Bogart? Just curious. I'm a fan of Edward R.

    Please let me explain. (IMO) Obama definately exhibits Socialist tendencies (which he probably got from his radical-left mother and even-more-radical-left-wing professors). His idea of good economics is Soak The Rich. He has proven himself equally unimaginative in other areas as well. Yet, he has been somewhat inconsistent. For example, he didn't treat the UAW with expected kindness during the recent troubles with GM and Chrysler. They actually had to make major concessions - which is totally Un-Socialistic. Rather, I believe that Obama is more of a classical fascist. His actions with the banks, the Fed, and the Automobile industry or more in keeping with Mussolini's "Corporate State." than with anythin Marx and Engels had in mind. The he seems to be imitating the Europeans, he really dislikes Europe and has no understanding of their system or what makes it function. Also he doesn't seem to have a grasp on East Asia either - even though he spend part of his childhood in Indonesia. Before going to Moscow, I think he should have gone first to Beijing.but NOT Obama! Being whom he is - it's no wonder he ended his final stop where he did. More fascisim tendancies.
