So, my knowledge of him is pretty limited to what I've read. That's probably why it's so interesting to me.

The day Rumsfeld resigned. sm
Britney Spears divorce received millions more hits on the net than the news of Rumsfeld's resignation. And the divorce thing was days old. I think that puts into perspective where people's minds are. Rome is burning and this time, a large portion of the American population are fiddling.

Yes, dear, Mr. Nixon did own up AND RESIGNED....
All I posted was the truth about the two accusations you made regarding Bush and Reagan...not at ALL the same thing as the handsy Mr. Clinton. I already did the statistics on that and blew your comparison out of the water. I stated in a response to Lurker that there are bad folks on both sides, of course. You mentioned one, Nixon...who DID own up when he got caught and RESIGNED because it was best for the country. Did not see Mr. Clinton resigning after it was proven he committed a felony while a sitting President. That is what I am talking about. No accountability. And his party supported him and spun it that he was only lying about sex so somehow that excused committing a felony. I rest my case. Congressman Jefferson is still serving and was even considered by the sitting speaker of the house for a committee head appointment. Teddy Kennedy is still serving. That is what I am saying...both sides have done wrong, of course, but I only see accountability on one side. Clinton is a morally bankrupt individual which has nothing to do with his politics...but his politics enabled him. Republicans are more likely to call a wrong a wrong and hold their own members accountable, which the Democratic party does not seem to be willing to do. That should be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention to politics over the years.

I am not fearful. I am resigned....he was elected.
And he is NOT "my" President yet, just like Bush was not yours. Let's be real here.

I understand that you think socialism will work. I understand that HE thinks socialism will work. Just like Che Guevara thought socialism would work, which is why he participated in the revolution which turned Cuba socialist. When he realized that it was NOT what he thought it would be, he moved on to Bolivia to participate in another revolution. The people of Venezuela have realized that all socialism got them was Hugo Chavez.

As I said, we will see how far Obama wants to go with it. The saving grace is that the senate did not get the filibuster-proof majority they wanted, so that in and of itself may rein in his socialist ambitions.

Will just have to wait and see.
