Surely you jest?

No , I don't jest. Where do you think the recession came from? Do you think Obama invented it? Like all other human endevours, wars are fought for gain, who stood to gain what by invading Iraq? Wars are expensive, someone has to pay the bill, if there s no profit from your conquest who foots the bill? If the invasion of Iraq had gone according to plan, if the US had established large permenant military bases in Iraq and dominated the Middle East's oil reserves, what do you think the response of Russia and China would be? Fortunately, George Jr. was even worse at fiscal planning than he was at military strategy, he made the policy of Isolationism downright appealing.

I am no longer amazed at how different perceptions of reality can be. There is only one reality but as many perceptions of it as there are individuals.

i feel the same way (even though i was not at a legal voting age) on the campain trail he seemed like a strong guy someone who could get stuff done and not be scared by shara palin. so my opion is still up in the air. maybe he can turn it around. you know the people who are calling you socialist you shouldnt be reaching across the isle to shake hands with them. i mean Bush had bad ideas but at leaste he got them done. i mean he had a smaller Rebublican majority and still got all kind of crazy **** passed. Obama has a much larger majority and hasnt got much done.

Is that you, Shirley ?

Maybe somebody isn't going to like this, but I think Obama has beena good thing so far.

He's pissed enough of us off bad enough that there's going to be a royal ass kicking next election, I would say.

And I strongly disapprove of Obama, by the way. But watching those town hall meetings sure put a smile on my face. Especially Barney Frank's.
