After almost 20 years of being completely disinterested in who's running (let alone politics), of seeing no significant difference between either "Tastes Great!" "Less Filling!" I finally voted, finally felt a reason to get involved.
And he better not let me down. I will hold Obama more accountable than W. because he has more of a chance of getting things right. I'm only worried now about his softness, his desire to make everyone happy. His initial press conference... C+. But he's learning how to be president so I will give him room.
Snarking seems like part of the debate process around here - not going away. Some of the HYPERBOLE - that would be nice to see go away.

the causes of your present war(s) find its origins with Clinton as much as it did Bush, and Bush1 and Regan, etc
@ AURaptor: you just keep countin' sheep, Snow White, maybe Sarah Palin will kiss you awake in '09, when she plans to run for President.

True
Quote:
He plans to cut the military budget but increase its size. He plans to withdraw from Iraq, but not right away. His economic and domestic programs have completely disappeared from sight.
All hearsay, but I don't contend those accusations at all....
Quote:
We can be certain of several things.
He will raise taxes on everyone.
Can't be certain of that yet, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Quote:
He will not produce more energy.
Ditto
Quote:
He will seek strict regulation of business and energy.
A politician's wet dream. Why wouldn't he if he had the ability?
Quote:
He will limit gun ownership, provide Federal funding for abortion and stem cell research.
I can almost guaranty those, but only one of those I'm really in disagreement with. I'll let my past posts here decide that one for you.
Quote:
He will seek accomodation with nations like Iran and Venezuela.
Sure he will. He will just keep up the tradition of selling us out to foreign "global" interests like Bush and Clinton did. Yes... Bush did it too. Only to different foreign interests and with a different spin to keep up the illusion that any Bush is really any different than any Obama.
Quote:
He will buy a puppy.
I know... sick, isn't it? Peru was willing to give the Obama family a free, purebread, non-allergenic puppy for free and he feels the need to buy a "mutt" when we're all scraping the bottom of the barrel for some algae to feed on...
Quote:
But his detailed plans are gone and his record so lacking that he could concievably move towards outright socialism...or...be Bush's third term.
Socialism or Bush's third term... Interesting. They both seemed to me to be the same thing. I don't see any other way it could go.

Uh..."impotent beach boys"?
Actually, I do know a couple of priapic oil execs who aren't gonna be pleased for a while, no matter what...
It was like that when we got here!

Quote:Rapo, I for one don't think you're mean spirited.
I'm " mean spirited " because I agree that marriage is defined as 1 man + 1 woman, or that at some point, we all have a right to life?
Just very frightened and immorally stupid.
You've handed your brain over to some cynical peeps so they can do your thinking for you.
Quote:Okay, give me five specific examples and I'll concede that you have a point.
Not too good, as Bush tried to play nice,

That Peruvian dog had no hair. Dogs should have hair...and I foster puppies for a local NFP Animal Rescue group. I'm sure that somewhere out there is just the right puppy that they can rescue. Some kind of 'oodle' mix would be fine. I'd suggest a matched pair of rescued Malti-poos, rescued from a puppy mill of course, so they can highlight the horrible practices those places have.

*Channeling AU*
Wrong, try again.
We have a roaring economy- it's just stuttering right now.
We've won the day in Iraq- Mission Accomplished.
We'll find those WMD- count on it!
Ronald Reagan was the presence of the Allmighty on our world. Even though I am a Godless heathen.
Deregulation works- see: The Eighties.
Blah blah woof woof.
*Breaks painful channeling session*
