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.0 -

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

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 been2000-10-28 San Bernardino

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.

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.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions!

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?0

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.0 -

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.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
