Obama is the President-elect. You can complain, argue, slander, or yell....this fact wont change. His success or failure is completely in the hands of Congress and the American People. Any programs, laws, or edicts must be approved by the congress and then accepted and implemented by the american public. The discourse here is troubling. All Obama has done is to be elected president. Perhaps all of us would benefit from patience. We can work together to make America better, or we can attack and complain and have more of the same.

Seriously. how can any thinking human being think for one single moment that a obama presidentcy could be worse than bush juniors? I mean really, if bush didnt ruin this country, then how could obama? conserative republicans said of FDR's new deal "it wasn’t doing enough to redistribute the nation’s wealth" how times have changed. democrats oooooo scary

if intelligent, decent people like us can have actual discourse about such important matters, then why is it so very difficult to our elected officials do do the same? Even if i disagreed with a politician, i would have great deal of resepect for them if they would speak in complete sentences that were used to directly answer a direct question. Im a bigboy, i can handle the truth, try using it

On Against Palin

open-eyes i rarely agree with you. but this post is completly right on. how can our leaders truly lead when they spend most of their time assualting their opponent rather than assualting the problems at hand. Both parties engage in this he said she said, can you believe who they know, met, pal around with nonsense. I propose we eliminate all parities. Then the candidate or the incumbent might represent all of their district, state or country. I am so sick and tired of the same old crap. Does anyone wonder how we ever get anything done, right or wrong, just something accomplished? I might have drank the kool-aid but i think obama has more of chance to affect change, but like you, i will support whomever is our next president. I may be old fashioned, but i do truly beleive in WE THE PEOPLE and COUNTRY FIRST.

You can parade a list of associations for both canidates that give pause for concern. You can argue that my guy always tells the truth and the other guy is lying. The facts are often as misleading as the canadates themselves. Both sides use bits and pieces of their opponents words to their own advantage. This is the the nature of politics in America. You can argue all you want that your canidate is the only one that can get the job done. The reality is that it takes the congress to get things done. They are the ones that control the money. If you want to affect real change, change the makeup of congress

How many members of McCain/Bush/Schmit/Rove campaign does it take to change a light bulb?
1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;
3. One to blame American Voters for burning out the light bulb;
4. One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs;
5. One to give a One Trillion dollars to Wall Street for the new light bulb;
6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: Light Bulb Change Accomplished;
7. One campaign insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how McCain/Bush/Schmit/Rove was literally in the dark and out of touch with the American Voter
8. One to viciously smear #7;
9. Sarah Palin to campaign on TV and at rallies on how John McCain has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;
10. And finally one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.

wow. i havent heard this sort of nonsense since the last time i heard mccain try to explain how he was going to fix the economy. by the way, FDR was considered a Liberal, and as it turned out, he led the charge to defeat hitler

Palin should be attacked, or rather mccain should be attacked for picking her as a running mate in the first place. She is woefully out of her league. It would seem she does more to hold back other women than propel them forward. Could you imagine Margeret Thatcher winking at her audience? Palin seems to being using her femine charms like a woman in other eras might have done. We are in a crisis here in America. We need compent leaders, not panderers. I couldnt care less if palin is a women. Substance trumps style. Not all men are neandethals. Some of us are actualy evolved enough to know the difference between the truth and BS
