Anyone ever stop to think that maybe Obama is just an intelligent individual with a deep seated concern for his country, even if you don't agree with him. Why must we always go to the extreme that he's either Jesus or a Socialist?

He has a strange way of showing his concern for the country!

You mean he Isn't a socialist........damm and all this time I thought.......

If folks just wanted anyone to take over for Bush, they would have voted in just anyone. But they didn't. They voted in the guy who by all previous standards, didn't have a shot.

Now I understand not to judge the guy on stuff he hasn't done yet. But it's not egregious to expect him to run his presidency with the same temperament he's already shown.

But as far as him having to return favors. He took no Lobbyist money whatsoever, and the bulk of his campaign donations was from private donors. He has to return favors alright. The favors he promised the millions of ordinary citizens who donated to him. I understand why people would be cynical about that. But even cynicism can cross the line of incredulity at some point.

Hummm, so that is what makes a good president? Nice to know.

SO - what has he done besides raise taxes...?

Sheepeople voted for him because they belive this administration is the worst thing since sliced bread. How do you know? Actually you will never know whats going on at the top level of govt. There might have been a "really"good reason for the war and other items.

Most people go by what they have caught from their neighbors and friends. So who says they are right? People are sheep. At least they showed there colors in this election.

We really don't know anything about this guy. His campaign silenced all the people who wanted to bring out the gray questions. The media has lost all creditability with me since all the talked about was him. Talk about lopsided! So now they want to silence free speach with the fairness doctrin.

Whats next........Spreading the wealth?
