I am giving him a chance and I
know that this isn't a quick fix. I'm realistic enough to know Obama cannot wave a magic wand and make this all go away. I'm just saying that for a man who hasnt' been pres for a whole week......he has made a lot of promises already with 2 already broken. I'm not trying to get a lynching mob together. I just want to stay informed of what my president and the government is doing because I refuse to just assume they are making the right decisions. Holy crap people.....seriously! Xanax....try some.
Sorry, I don't feel like giving him a break.
He has trampled the Constitution, declared himself to be the "decider," started a war in a country that did nothing to provoke it, run this country into the ground while making his good friends on Wall Street richer. And let's not forget his "boss," D*ck Cheney. (Well I'll be danged, I had to take the "i" out of his name as when I went to submit the post it said it was a bad word.) LOL Bush had his chance at a "break." I gave him 2 thumbs up after his speech following 9/11 and he blew it and that was just the beginning of his blowing everything that he came in contact with. Sorry...Bush has already had his break from me and he gets no more. I'd be happy to buy him a 1 way bus ticket back to Texas myself....assuming Texas wants him, which I seriously doubt.
Obama I will give a break and if he doesn't hold up to what he has said he will do I'll be all over him like ugly on an ape all over this board and any other one I can find.
Any chance, there would be a point in this post>

No matter how you feel about President Bush, he at least
deserves respect. These crappy posts calling him all sorts of names, slurs, etc. is unbecoming of an American citizen. Is this just because you're democrats or just because you have no couth?
Jeez Louise, Just the big bad
cantya just let it go?
Whatever you feel, this post is really

Palin, the candidate that just keeps giving and giving...

I don't usually post here but feel strongly about this one sm
I'm a progressive Dem but I think Hillary is the only way Democrats can lose this election. I don't know a single Dem who likes her, at least in my area (WA state). She is such a divisive character (due to the Bill haters) that "central America" doesn't want her in any way, shape or form. At least that's what I see.
Very wise post - you are right on with how I feel
And so many of us out there. His calming demeanor...yes most definitely. He has a soothing and reassuring voice. If I was in an accident or something like that his voice would be very reassuring and calming, but everything else I agree with you.
I loved your post. Thanks.
Great post - you said what a lot of us feel
It is sad that people don't learn from history, and they don't care if we have another dictator or that the country goes to shreds. Just as long as a republican was not voted in. Unfortunately people are too ig to even care what happens to the country. It's like watching children cheat at a game and they don't care how it affects other people, as long as they win.
Great post!! I, too, feel the need...
...to take a shower after reading all the slime on this board.
These people cannot understand the simple concept of HAPPINESS and HOPE for the future. I think they were all counting on Bush to bring in the "Rapture," and it looks like he maybe won't do that. He does still have a few days left, though, to do more damage.
I'll check back in a month or so and see if it's still worth coming here. At the moment, with this board so overwhelmed with hatred, rage and jealousy, the slime is just too ugly and brings me down too much.
There are many more happy places to be. 
I must say when I saw all those people in support of Obama/Biden today, I was the proudest American I've ever been in my life. I just fear that someone who believes just like the anti-Americans on this board will actually penetrate one of those lines and kill him, "for the good of the country."
Maybe Bush is counting (planning?) for that to happen.
I feel the need to answer on this board regarding this post. SM
You could not possibly have done an in depth research of the Protest Warriors. They are no more pro war than God is. They do believe in the right to bear arms, part of our Constitution, by the way. I know how deeply offended you must be by seeing pictures of those who own guns defying your agenda to take them away from them, despite what the Constitution says. They are pro-Israel and believe, as I do, in the Israeli state. They are Jewish. I am not. While doing your selective in-depth review of their web site, did you happen to view any of the videos. Two? Even one? I am thinking you probably didn't. Protest Warriors expose the left for what they have become. Shrill, violent apologists for terrorists. Anti-American shills for the very people who want us dead. If you viewed the videos, you would know that. But you don't want to know that I am sure. Please stop speaking about something you obviously know nothing about. I am the member you spoke about. I don't know anyone else who posts on the boards who has admitted to being a member.
Great post, Tired MT. feel the same way -nm.
nm
Kaydie, your post is awesome and 100% the way that I feel s/m
about the whole thing as well. We are all entitled to our opinions, but let's remember that behind these screen names sits a real person with people who love them. Every one of us has value and something to add to this world. EVEN McCain and Palin are valuable citizens and have something to contribute, even if not from the White House. Obama, although I personally do not agree with his policies in general, will probably be good for our country in many ways. I am giving him a chance in my heart because I know that we all have to stick together. I wish him well and hope that we are a better country because of him, eventually...
Have a good day, MTs!!
IMHO -great post! I feel the same way.nm

Jeez, Lu, not taking out the lighter again, R U? :) OBOTS??? cute,,,,,,nm
nm
Jeez - is JTBB the only civil person on this board
Believing that the whole thing is one intermingled war in the middle east is not spin. Those are my beliefs. When I talk to my friend and she talks about her husband in Iraq and she says the middle east, then she talks about her son in Afghanistan and she refers that to the middle east, that is why I always believed both countries are in the middle east. That is not spin???? And for pete's sake don't call me ignorant!!!! Like I said I always believed both Iraq and Afghanistan were in the middle east. I'm not trying to incite war against Obama - sheesh! Get a grip. I read a news story and posted it here about Obama sending troops to Afghanistan. The article said 17,000 troops are going to Afghanistan. That is not spin, that is citing a news article I read. He lied - Okay I'm wrong about that. He did not lie about the sending troops to Afghanistan thing (I don't remember him saying he would send them, but I've heard they are on youtube and if they are on youtube then I believe JTBB (she's the one who pointed me in the right direction).
You know I could say a lot of negative and nasty words to you like you did to me, but I'd probably be banned, so I'd appreciate it if you keep your closed minded opinions to yourself. Your whole post to me sounds like BS in itself and your just too eager to attack.
Jeez, I didn't know I was black??? (empty pockets here) :-)......nm

While this is deeply sad. sm
and unfortunate, your contention, more than once, that this little girl was not a republican is not only ludicrous, you lessen her death by using it for a political soapbox. I have seen this happen on other chat boards before. I doubt this little girl was any political persuasian. Please don't do this again. It's shameless.
I would be deeply deeply
disappointed in my mother if I were a teenager in trouble and my mother exposed me to national attention by putting her own needs above my own.
my granfather was deeply
affected for the rest of his life by living through the depression. He never trusted banks and obsessively saved his change. I have seen the real effects of a financial disaster and I do not appreciate your superficial mindset. The economic situation in this nation is serious and you insist on trying to start a brohaha over a symbol. Our only hope is to put aside our differences and work together. Stop the silliness. American children are dying overseas. People are losing their homes. Be a responsible American and stop the nonsense.
If it was not you, then I deeply apologize.
Must have been a different Shelly. I am sure that there is more than one. Have a good day!
There will be some left so deeply buried in their own mud
Yours is a cold and dark world. Post to your heart's content and remind us just how fast and far we need to run for this world view.
MSNBC is deeply in Obama's pocket...
and please don't come back with Fox News is a conservative network. They allow and have contributors on both sides of the aisle and let them air their opinions. MSNBC doesn't allow anyone not for Obama to speak. Everyone should go to each candidate's web site and see how they stand on the issues.
I totally agree with your sentiments, it angers me deeply also for those who are using abortion as .
birth control, but I also think that these "whores" are somewhere in the minority, all I am saying is let us not, by not supporting certain social programs, CONDEMN AND NEGLECT the babies that are born whether it is by accident, neglect, "slutting around," whatever....these children and their welfare, safety, and care cannot be neglected by society. I am just saying, once these babies are HERE, right or wrong, they are going to have needs, and if these women/men (let's not forget the absentee dads/families) cannot provide, the innocent babies that we are all concerned about are really going to need support. It is not about the mother once the baby is born. When will we make stricter legislation for penalties for baby daddies who walk away? I know it is far from a solution, but there are other factors, too.
and I feel like makin *du du duu du du duu* feel like maaa-k-in love to YOU!
ARGH!!
If customary deference to a sitting president by president elect
for the rest of us who understand such concepts as respect and traditional protocol, it would qualify as a darned good reason.
You feel someone should be forced to do something they feel is wrong? sm
Sounds like communism to me.
Any chance you could get down here
next Sept. 20-21? If you could I promise you a position in the judge's tent for the Dutch oven cook-off judging. Each cook makes 3 D. O. dishes, bread, main dish and dessert. There are usually around 15 teams entered. You'd love it.
Any chance
the mother ship will come back and get them?
are you obsessed, per chance?
Are you obsessed with gt? This post must have been from a while ago, I don't remember reading it. To actually spend time to find it and repost it, I don't know about that. I guess my point is, do you really think your reposting is changing anything political-wise when it comes to ideology and trying to open other's minds or understand the opposite political spectrum? What is your purpose of reposting something from weeks ago other than to cause disruption and conflict on the board and to actually try to cause hate which, from what I have read, the liberals posting on this board have been doing a good job trying to keep harmony. Can I make a suggestion, let it go.
It probably has no chance of passing sm
and was just a symbolic parting shot, but some of us are grateful anyway. Rallies from coast to coast today are honoring and thanking Cynthia. Wonder what makes you think her party has disowned her.
My favorite clip of Cynthia vs Rumsfeld below:

Snowball's chance
I don't think Ron Paul has a snowball's chance of winning, but I wouldn't vote for him anyway.
There is a good chance....since we get most of our oil from...
foreign countries. However, if you inflate your tires properly, we could be of dependence on foreign oil pretty soon. Good chance your gas came from the same place. You a supporter of terrorism? Not hardly, any more than McCain is. Geez.
No chance of that happening...but
The last time we had a democrat president most of my family, freinds, and freinds family WERE homeless. Lost their jobs, lost their homes, lived in their cars, went to the soup kitchens once a day for a meal. The last democrat president implemented NAFTA (not sure implemented is the right word - but was responsible for the start of our jobs going overseas). Continued the deficit (not a surplus like he conned everyone he did). So luckily Bush is not running again so no chance of us being homeless. McCain and Palin gives us experience, loyalty, and a fresh face and ideas for the country. Obama and Biden gives us inexperience, lies, and false hopes. I don't want to end up homeless and broke so therefore I will NOT be voting for Obama. Obama is more of the same except with different packaging.
He reminds me of that commercial by Microsoft for the Mohave experiment. Its the same ol crappy Vista system only being hidden under the disguise called the Mohave experiment. And nobody knows its Vista until they are told.
If they did that, there's a good chance the
There would just continue to be excuse after excuse after excuse.
No more excuses, I want some ANSWERS.
Please give him a chance.
The press conference was 4 days after he was elected. As for who he picking for his staff, he said as soon as he decides who will fill these positions, he will make an annoucement. I, too, am glad he apologized to Nancy Reagan. I knew as soon as I heard those words, there was going to be stuff said. Also, you can blame the press for the question about the dog -- he doesn't have control over questions like that. We need to be patient and not be so nitpicky over such small things. I can't even imagine the pressure he is under right now, not to mention exhausted, and he probably hasn't even had the chance to mourn his grandmother.
He had another chance to do that and he failed
When he was just in Hawaii. A very simple trip to get his bc and prove to everyone he is legal would have solved everything, but he didn't do that.
He is basically saying to the country. I know I don't meet the legal qualifications, so what. There's nothing you can do about it.
Not a snowball's chance if
you think all you have to do is sit around taking pot shots at O for 4 years and turn zero focus on the implosion of the GOP, it's leadership deficit, the long dark shadow of W's scorched earth legacy and their need for a platform transplant. Yeah. Good luck in 2016.
At least give the guy a chance.
He needs some time but I can see that if someone disagrees with anything he says, they'll be called racist. That is completely unfair.
My personal opinion of freezing his staff salary is that is a little bit of nothing. It was just a show. If he wants to impress, he needs to freeze the salaries of all Washington politicians. That would impress me!
EVERYONE! This your chance to do something about outsourcing
http://www.numbersusa.com/content/resources/video/commercials/elevator-commercial.html
What can you do?
* Call President Obama at 202-456-1111 and ask him to ensure that all new jobs created under a stimulus package go to American citizens and authorized immigrants already here. Tell the person answering the phone that the administration should suspend most work visas and green cards until it can be determined that issuing them will not harm the chances of unemployed Americans.
* Send a fax to your Senators urging them to make sure that only American citizens and authorized immigrants already here get jobs created by whatever economic stimulus package eventually is adopted.
* Fax your House Member thanking him/her for ensuring that the stimulus bill kept jobs out of the hands of illegal foreign workers but urging that in negotiations with the Senate businesses and governments should also be prohibited from using stimulus money to import more foreign workers.
* Read NumbersUSA's fact sheet Putting Americans Back to Work.
* Forward this page to as many Americans as possible to educate them about the statistics the media and government don't want them to know -- and to warn them what may happen to their jobs if they don't join you in taking action.
* Post your comments about the ad and this campaign.
Well I just had a chance to listen
to this and you kinda misrepresented what he said. Surprise surprise.
He said he hated about 10 people out of the 3000 plus 911 victims' families who won't stop complaining, then he compared the people in New Orleans who were making it hard on everybody else there by not cooperating to those same type of people who are never satisfied no matter how much people are trying to help them.
I completely agree with everything he says on this. I never really felt sorry for the people in New Orleans who refused to leave when they knew way ahead of time that a disaster was looming.
Do you agree that Democrats had a chance...
to head this off in 2006 at John McCain's urging? That the situation we find ourselves in now was avoidable?
Actually Bill Clinton had the chance
To get Osama and he never did. This started long before GW ever got in the white house. You may not like GW - I can't stand him, but I'm not going to blame him for something that started in the Clinton administration.
Anyone over 40 years old has a very good chance
of having Down's syndrome child at birth.
I worry more about Biden being President and Pelosi being VP.
90 percent of Melanoma growths are curable. Lung cancer is bad. Smoking is bad.
I'm willing to give the man a fair chance...
...the exact same way I gave George W. Bush a fair chance even though I didn't vote for him. It was only after he was in office and I saw his contempt for the Constitution and for anyone who wasn't filthy rich that I formed my negative opinion of him. It was his very own actions that formed that opinion, not partisan hearsay.
If this issue is legitimate, why in the world aren't Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and/or any of the other right-wing media screaming it from the rooftops?
If this issue is legitimate, why in the world didn't Hillary Clinton or John McCain scream it from the rooftops?
The SC will meet this coming Friday, in private (five days before the EC votes) to discuss whether or not they will hear this case.
If the SC goes against the will of the people in this nation and selects the US President again, then the mayhem that will result will make it very easy for George W. Bush to declare martial law (to control the "masses") and officially promote himself to "Dictator in Chief" for an indefinite period of time.
Perhaps that's the true goal of all of this.
If somehow, the will of the people is upheld, we need to be a country of AMERICANS that bond together. We are living in very dangerous and challenging economic times right now. This isn't Obama's fault. It's the fault of George W. Bush and the crippled America that Obama will inherit from Bush. Something tells me, though, that you'll find a way to blame Obama for the sins of Bush, regardless of what happens.
As for me, I'm sick of reading and responding to posts regarding this nonissue. I'm more concerned with legitimate problems facing this country, as they are extremely serious, real and potentially life threatening.
Have at it all you want. I won't be participating any more. I want to be a part of the America that supports its President, especially in these emergent times, not the small, bitter minority that will never give Obama a chance. He could wind up being the best President we've ever had, but sadly, some people will never even realize it.
I just hope he's given at least the chance to be inaugurated...
...before some right-wing home-grown terrorist (with or without the prior knowledge of the GOP) decides to enact "what is to come."
That truly is my biggest fear.
I just don't understand the absolute refusal of some to even give Obama a chance. These are the Americans who frighten me the most, the ones who seem to be the most angry and bitter.
I never voted for Bush, but when he was first installed in the White House, I never felt this bitter about him. In fact, I was starting to like him a little right after 9/11. It was HIS actions in the years to follow that absolutely disgusted me and the very first time in my life that I was afraid of my country's leader.
But I didn't flat-out hate him before he was even sworn in.
If Obama has the opportunity to survive a Presidential term and has actually been a GOOD President, would you even recognize it, or are you so firmly implanted in your crystal ball's readings of "what's to come" that that's all you can see? 
In any event, I hope you and everyone else who visits this board has a happy, healthy and prosperous 2009 that is full of love. My health hasn't been all that great, and I need to surround myself with hope and optimism.
thanks for the website, i'll look at it when i get a chance...
we can kindly agree to disagree; i am tired of the hate and negativity here! hope you have a good day!
Thought I'd take a chance last night
and watched Olbermann because I was bored and wanted to see what all the hoopla is about over him.
Turned the channel after 5 minutes. He just spews hate. He took pot shots at everyone not conforming to his thinking and tried to twist words of his guests.
JTBB: Did you get a chance to watch it? s/m
Let me know what you think.
I came across this because I was researching the Bilderberger Group. I had seen a documentary earlier today on IFC and so decided to see what I could find. Ran across a list of members and, interestingly enough, one of the American members just happens to be David Rockefeller.
As far as the OP's comments, I was wondering why the need to be so insulting to someone not even addressing them directly Pent-up aggression much?
Never miss a chance to slam the Dems, do you?
