    Questions to all of these peple who are saying give him a chance he should get at least 100 days. Were you saying the same thing in 2001 when Bush won or would you be saying the same thing if McCain had won. After a year or two when things haven't gone as planned for this Administration (b/c they have set such lofty goals almost unattainable goals) we will hear how he inherited the wost economy since the Depression, which is total b/s because the Carter Admin really fucked up this country. The other scary thing is the media is totally in the bag for this guy. So you can forget any objective reporting. T


    No, I did not give Bush a chance in 01. He didn't win the election so he didn't deserve my respect.

    I did however give him a chance for 2-3 months after 9/11...until he showed his true colors.
    Obviously you been licking too many toads. Do you not remember the recount? I'm glad He showed His true colors because if he didn't we would have gotten attacked again.Like him or not He kept this country safe.I lost friends on 911 I will never forget that day.

    I remember the recount painfully too well, myself. I also remember the reports that a large number of dem votes mysteriously vanished during that recount. hmmmm

    Tho I will say it was a dem that is responsible for 9-11. Carter gutted the CIA..

    Maybe, but Clinton had several chances to get Bin Laden and didn't.

    let me make it clear i dont think McCain was the answer either so im with you on that one
    ...
    Wait... so, you lambast people who voted for Obama... because they 'didn't do their research' on him before the election... and you didn't and don't support McCain, right?
    Who did you vote for... Ralph Nader or Stephen Colbert?

    I voted for McCain because of the two choices, well more if you count independents, because i thought he was better for the protection of this country as well as having plenty of experience compared to the enormous list of things about Obama which are right in front of people faces that they ignored because they wanted to be "a part of history"

    McCain's economic policy wasnt good but if he surrounded himself with good appointees he could have been find, as we are finding about Obama the people he is surrounding himself with are frauds

    Ok you may not want to hear the Palin crap anymore, but don't you think that choice just proves how shitty his appointees would have been

    Ye Gods!!
    The man is an hour away from getting sworn in and you're already flunking his ass like a depraved, bitter 3rd grade teacher.

    Save the sour grapes for the $2.00 bottles of wine.

    Let the world spin around a little bit.

    Let's have some hope and encouragement for a CHANGE.

    Let's concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other and give our new leader a chance to point us in the right direction.

    At the very least....give the poor fucker a chance to sit behind his desk at the oval (oral) office before you start calling him a failure.

    It's a good day
    The moving van is packing up Bush's cowboy boots and 10 gallon hats.

    The cleaning ladies are frantically wiping the floors and cleaning the sheets

    And
    All reminents of this tragic 8-year Republican toga party will finally be behind us

    Somewhere Ron Paul and Ralph Nader are engaged in an intense game of chess.
    Somewhere Sarah Palin has blood on her teeth.

    Only 3 things are certain today

    The sun will set
    The moon will rise
    And tommorow will be a new day.

    In between...I suggest you

    Drink Fine Wine and Screw Long.

    Enjoy yourself

    I can guarantee everyone this...
    I will remain as harsh on Obama as I have been on Bush, if he makes the same types of poor decisions the former President and his Administration made. I will NOT give him the unconditional support and offer up excuses that some gave Bush, rather I will spew the same venomous bile I ranted about Bush, if Obama makes the same types of mistakes. I will do this BEACUSE I voted for him and am willing to assume some responsibility for my actions at the voting booth.
    I hope Obama leads this nation back to the foundations of this country and the principles it was founded upon... but, I will remain steadfast in my opposition to any decision by our leaders if their decisions lead us down the same road. My alligence is to this country and our liberties guaranteed us in our Constuitution... and NOT a political party or a politician.

    I know exactly what you mean. They are the other side of the same cum soaked tampon as those Bush douches that supported him on every one of his mistakes. They all suck on that same rag.

Not fair to those who have to continue paying their mortgages, but it's a means to an end. The banks get their money, we have extra money to start spending again, and even more bailouts in the future won't be necessary.

    Are you insane?????

    He has also just sold out the auto industry by not having federal standards on emissions. How are the manufacturers supposed to meet so many possibly different standards?

    Worst idea I've seen. Bail out those that spent more than they could afford? Bail out the people that caused this mess? Reward them for not paying their bills? Laughable. Obviously you don't own shit, or you aren't paying your bills.

    That's for States to decide.
    For example, here in California, we pay a California Emmissions Control Standards surcharge on new vehicles sold in this state. This is because Californians want cleaner running cars. This is what we want and our leaders, whom we elect, to propose. The surcharge is for this state and new car buyers have to pay it to the manufacturers. Yet, there are still hundreds of thousands of new cars bought here. And cars coming into the state from other regions without these emmission controls have to meet our state's requirements in order to operate here. It is a small price we pay to live here.
    If you are okay with filling your lungs, and the lungs of your children, with pollution from the cars you drive... then, the solution is an easy one... don't move to California.
    And if there is no requirement for auto makers (from around the globe) to manufacture cars that burn fuel more efficiently, with lower emmissions, do you think they will take it up themselves?
    G.M. and Chrysler got themselves into the mess they are in by gross mis-management and continually producing crappy products with built-in obsolescence. They expect us to bail them out for their fuck ups. Fuck them. Maybe China can buy G.M. and get into the auto manufacturing business.
