I guess we'll just wait and see.
I think by the end of this year, his reelection will be in question - of course, we may be bankrupt by then or bought out by China. Either way, I think he's gonna be a one-termer and I wouldn't be surprised if it was his own party that turns on him.
I'll wait and see if that happens before I complain.

I'll wait to hear it from the horse's mouth. sm
Though it really makes no difference to me one way or the other. I never considered him a Republican. I think he is a fiscal conservative. He said on another link he is apolitical. Should be interesting.
dem stacked polls mean nothing...wait till the election and we'll see....nm
it'll be worse....just wait and see...already is and things coming to pass...and yet

O was wise ... wait... wait... I'm rolling in the aisle.

Osamabama 'distances' himself from every lame association he ever had with his rat pack of radical nut job friends.
And if he's lucky enough to get elected, he's going to distance himself from his fawning flock as soon as his advisors tell him there's no way in hades to pay for his free po'folk tax cuts he promised without throwing the economy into the tank.
ummmm because inauguration day
is probably one of the most political days on the calendar? Do you think that book was written in just a few short months? I'm sure it's been undergoing for several years now.
I don't disagree that she does support Obama, but I will state that there is no moderator who is absolutely 100% neutral. They're all going to go to the polls on election day and cast their vote.
I think that a presidential inauguration should be serious...
not an excuse to drink a lot in bars. I actually find it tacky. Watch the serious event in our nation's capital and celebrate if you want, but go home to party like a rockstar. Personally, I think it shows a huge amount of disrespect.
inauguration events
is anyone planning on taking the day off or part of the day to watch the inauguration tomorrow? I would not mind. If I leave it on while working its sure to slow me down production wise.
What would you expect 14 days BEFORE his inauguration?

The money being spent on the inauguration
At least that is one way to look at it.
Bush Inauguration Costs
During the January 18 edition of MSNBC Live, host Tamron Hall stated that "the inauguration festivities" for President-elect Barack Obama are "estimated to reach as high as $150 million," adding that "[i]n 2004, to note, the inauguration of George W. Bush cost roughly $40 million." However, the $40 million figure that Hall cited for Bush's second inauguration reportedly does not include certain costs incurred by the federal government and the District of Columbia such as security and transportation costs; these costs are included in the $150 million estimate that the media are reporting for the Obama inauguration. When the costs incurred by the federal government and the District of Columbia are factored in, the total cost of Bush's 2005 inauguration was reportedly around $157 million, as Media Matters for America senior fellow Eric Boehlert noted.
The Washington Post reported in January 2005 that the $40 million cost of Bush's inaugural celebration, raised from private donations "does not include the cost of a web of security, including everything from 7,000 troops to volunteer police officers from far away, to some of the most sophisticated detection and protection equipment." Further, The New York Times reported on January 5 that in 2005, "the federal government and the District of Columbia spent a combined $115.5 million, most of it for security, the swearing-in ceremony, cleanup and for a holiday for federal workers."
This year, the Presidential Inaugural Committee reportedly plans to spend around $45 million on the celebrations "surrounding the actual ceremony," all of which "comes completely from private donations, not the government." In addition, public funds will cover security, transportation, staffing, construction, and the actual swearing-in ceremony. According to CNNMoney.com:
The total cost of the inauguration to the federal government is $49 million, according to Abigail Tanner, spokeswoman for the Office of Management and Budget.
That $49 million includes a $15 million appropriation which has already been appropriated to the District of Columbia to help pay for the inauguration expenses. It also includes money to pay for the Secret Service during the inauguration and the military personnel during the parade following the swearing-in ceremony.
Meanwhile, the governors of Virginia and Maryland, and the mayor of Washington sent a letter to the federal government estimating that the inauguration was going to cost them a combined $75 million -- $47 million for the District alone -- for transportation and law enforcement.
The District may be eligible for more federal money beyond the $15 million appropriated. President Bush announced Tuesday that the District was in a state of emergency, making more funding available for "emergency protective measures that are undertaken to save lives and protect public health and safety."
Millions could get to DC for the inauguration, but couldn't get out of NO before the hurricane...

Gene Robinson: Gay Bishop Giving Obama Inauguration Prayer
Well, even though that Saddleback jerks is there too...
from the Huffington Post 1/12/09
New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, a vocal gay rights leader, will open President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration with a prayer on Sunday's kick-off event at the Lincoln Memorial.
"I am writing to tell you that President-Elect Obama and the Inaugural Committee have invited me to give the invocation at the opening event of the Inaugural Week activities, We are One, to be held at the Lincoln Memorial," Robinson wrote in an email to friends.
The announcement comes after weeks of outcry from the gay community over Obama's choice of evangelical, anti-gay pastor Rick Warren to deliver the inaugural invocation.
"It's important for any minority to see themselves represented in some way," Robinson said in an interview with the Concord Monitor. "Whether it be a racial minority, an ethnic minority or, in our case, a sexual minority. Just seeing someone like you up front matters."
Robinson is the first openly gay diocesan bishop in the Anglican Communion. "God never gets it wrong. The church often takes a long time to get it right. It is a human institution, but one capable of self-correction," Robinson told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "I believe in my heart that the church got it wrong about homosexuality. There is great excitement in my heart to be living in a time when the church is starting to get it right."
Robinson said he would love to sit down with Rick Warren but believed that the California pastor has "perpetrated lies about the gay, lesbian and bisexual community."
Wait, wait - see message
I see the cloud opening and a light coming through... maybe I'm going to have an epiphany and realized I should have voted for him all along. HA HA HA
I'll double that 'amen', and I'll raise you one!
amen
Oh. Well, they'll have to kill me before they'll censor
We'll see who'll be laughing tomorrow.
Bet it's me!
If O "fails", then you'll probably like him more cuz he'll
Yes..cant wait
Yes, soon. Gonna be very interesting.
wait you said
6 or 8 or 10 times before you didn't care if he was a rock star. I don't understand. Plez elaborate why you don't care and what you think this means and how we can change it so that you DO care. Don't mince words, I want to know.
Oh, wait . . . I just got it
it is being written as Samonella, not Salmonella so it is jab at sam. My, oh my, what sensitive people.
Wait, did you actually just say this: sm
You wrote:
"Well, unlike some, I don't decide what to think depending on what the candidate I support says."
Oh sam, that is priceless. You slay me. You and Sarah Palin are both adorable.
But wait - there's more!
This is absolutely a fact - a fact that has been swept under the rug by the liberal media. Actually, there are a LOT of facts that are swept under the rug, while we focus on the fact that Palin's daughter is pregnant, or that her clothes are too expensive, or her lack of experience (they conveniently avoid the fact that Obama was in congress 143 days, and most of the time didn't even bother to vote). Do the American people know that there is a lawsuit pending regarding the fact that Obama was born in Kenya? (His own family members have stated this fact). I doubt that little fact was leaked out to too many CBS or CNN viewers. Do the American people know the magnitude of the fraudulent votes through the Democratic group Acorn (over 200,000 in Ohio alone!) And one of the heads of ACORN insists this is not a ploy to win the election. Oh really?? If this were a group of Republicans registering the dead and nonexistant to vote all he** would break loose. But it's not - it favors the Democrats, so we'll sweep that under the rug, too...
Can't wait
Guaranteed, they'll turn on Obama. Personally, I can't wait. That is assuming we still have our first amendment rights.
Wait! We don't know if he's going to be
a great leader yet. I'm hoping so, and so does DH, but only time will tell.
BB I can't wait
to hear that explanation either. I can't figure out whether some of these posters are mentally challenged or if they just believe everything they hear and "wish" would be true. Trickle up poverty? LOL Might not do so much harm if some of the poverty trickled up to these bloated CEOs and politicians. Might not hurt them any to go live in a trailer house for awhile and eat pinto beans. ROFL at the very thought. Doncha know they wouldn't like even middle class living let alone poverty.
He can't do everything in one day...wait and see what happens.
:)
Oh just wait
It is going to get much, much worse. Hyperinflation is going to rear its ugly head here soon enough.
Just wait until they
start cap and trade. If you think your utility bills are high now....just wait. No one will be able to afford heat, light, etc. It will double if not more. Kinds of makes me wish I had a wood stove or fire place in my house just in case we can't afford heat during the winter.
We will just have to wait and see
when all the information is unclassified and investigated. I personally feel that Obama has opened up a big can of worms with this. He should have left well alone. I think we need more information, and certainly not from MSNBC, before we will truly know the truth behind this.
You can bash Fox News every time someone posts something and yet you can't handle me attacking your precious little MSNBC. Awww.
Yes, BEST to wait
but once they are grown, they will make their own decision in every facet of life, regardless what they have been taught. You hope and pray it will be the right thing. Yes, it is best to wait. It is the best thing to do. It is the Christian thing to do. Whether they do or not will be up to them. I taught them what was best. What did you teach your son?
I will wait for the jury to come in.
We haven't heard the whole story or even the tip of the iceberg. Personally, I cannot abide Bill O'Reilly. John Murtha is a 37 year military veteran and has always been a hawk. I would like to hear more of what he knows. I will withhold judgment until I do hear.
We can't wait a few years. Someone needs to......sm
do something to get these parasites out of the White House now.
I can't wait for the debates...sm
And yeah...I agree Hillary lost her thunder when it became evident she was robbing Peter to pay Paul.
wait a minute there
if you are wealthy and repub, drug addiction is an ILLNESS. If you are middle class or poor and perhaps a person of color, it is CRIME. Get your facts straight.
The pit bull can't wait either. He won't need
nm
yes, can hardly wait for some more "uuhhhs"
nm
can't wait for the debates
A constitutional lawyer is pretty . . . good . . . in debates.
LOL!!! I'm sure if you wait long enough
someone will choose Howling with Laughter too!!! HWL! Oh he--, maybe I'll change to HWL! or H/L. Silly ol' bear.
lets just wait and see how it
all plays out. As for McCain being incontinent, I did not know that until you said so. That's a shame.
Can we really afford to wait
until November to vote on this? I don't think so. Something needs to be done now. I'm sure they will have a plan by the end of this weekend and it will be passed.
I totally can NOT wait!
I'm sure the writers at SNL are going to get a LOT of skit-fodder for Tina Fey in this next go-round.
I'm counting down the hours 'til this one! It's gonna be GOOD!!!!!!
Just wait until she gets her beloved
the other Dem congresspeople in office, see what kind of power they have then!
And if you think the schools are bad now, just wait
Obama can't even get his own state straightened out, but he's gonna straighten out the country!
We’ve already seen how Barack manages large programs, under the Annenberg Challenge with Bill Ayers he gave away a total of 150 million to gaggle of community activist groups to improve schools. Some of those groups were radical, but putting that aside a moment you can see that the vague “feel good” instead of results-oriented direction under Obama just created monumental waste with zero results. The other cities given these grants saw improvement, Chicago stands alone with zero improvement.
Oh now, wait a minute
Isn't it the dems that hate rich old white folks. But, of course, you can't hate rich old black folks, right?
What a hypocrit!
just wait, Chele, until they get all our
guns. I think the UN troops will do that, door to door, along with whatever else some guy might see while he is in your home, like your 12 year old daughter or your antique jewelry left by your grandmother. These people over here just don't realize what is coming. So sad, the late, great America.
Guess we will have to wait and see
If/when he is elected and watch for the release of his personal tax returns. The only way to know for sure.
Wait...let me do a little editing....sm
just kidding...lol
Absolutely.....oh no, wait, they won't pay me...I
