I sincerely hope he makes all of us on the right forget all of the shortcomings we feel he has to do the job. I will be among the first to give a formal apollogy if he starts to do things that help get this country started in the right (no pun intended) direction. My question is why does he have to wait 3 months to start. It would be very easy for him to say in one of the many interviews he is bound to give--"A,B and C are a couple of ideas I have for getting us headed in the right direction. After all, his followers and he all said he was the man to lead us out of this mess. If that is so, he must have had at least a few ideas of what he was going to do to help. Suggest them now. Dem's have control of both houses, so there shouldn't be much resistence. Even if plans are drawn up and Bush refuses to enact them, the details and necessary legislative work could be done, only needing his signature in January. Why wait till January 20th to start the ball rolling? And if he publically talks about his ideas, he has no worry that someone else might take the credit. Show us you meant it when you said you were the man America needed to get out of this mess, Mr. Obama. Start now building the confidence this country needs in you. Things will only get worse if we wait. Why do you think he has not done much of what you suggest? He has. You need to watch something besides Fox once in a while. However, as he said, there's only one Pres. at a time. So, he's got to be careful not to get ahead of himself. I think that there must be something wrong with me. I sit here and write down that it seems a man that ran on a platform that stated he was better prepared to help get the economy out of the mess it's in than his opponent, is not allowed because of protocal to even suggest ways out of the mess. And everyone says that even if he had the end-all solution that Nothing wrong with you. In some respects it's true that presidents-elect must wait. However, he has suggested and is working in the Senate still. You might want to give him a couple of days to get some rest. He's been campaigning for nearly two years. He'll do better with a short break. would solve the problem tomorrow, it is wrong to suggest that solution and let the people in this country know what is going on. Because it isn't deemed politically correct. It's more correct to let the country go 10 weeks further down the drain. Then people talk about the fact he is rushing through another stimulus package (first one didn't work). And he wants to bail out the auto makers after critisizing the baiout of the rich banks. We need new ideas. He said the existing ones didn't work and is repeating them. What new ides are we going to see and when? If any. He is our president (elect). I don't want toturn sour on him like happened with Clinton and Bush. Well, you just got done saying that he's not doing anything and now you suggest that he's doing something wrong. Many people are talking about the need for a middle-class stimulus package, and it seems like the ones who are opposing it live in the White House. Lots of people including that high-functioning moron in the WH think we should bail out the car companies. I'm not sure we should or shouldn't, but I am convinced that the middle-class needs help. You're wrong about him saying the current one didn't work. It's too early to tell, and no one knows yet. We've already seen some of his ideas throughout the campaign. For most of them, he has to be president first, since he's not yet president. No one wants to turn sour on a president. Even though I thought Bush was a huge mistake, I tried hard to give him the benefit of some time. Right after 9/11, I thought he might actually step up to the plate and do the right thing (didn't know or care if I had known about the My Pet Goat sh*t). For a while, I thought he did fine. Afganistan was the right place... and then it all went to hell with Iraq. He did the opposite of what he was as governer... he was a divider. We all hope (or we all should hope) that Obama can do something... inspire us all to be less partisan and more involved in the solutions we need. Neither he nor any one individual can fix the deep problems we have. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Maybe someone else can handle that 3 AM phone call. Well, you just got done saying that he's not doing anything and now you suggest that he's doing something wrong. He's done nothing. Nothing is not something. Many people are talking about the need for a middle-class stimulus package, and it seems like the ones who are opposing it live in the White House. Lots of people including that high-functioning moron in the WH think we should bail out the car companies. I'm not sure we should or shouldn't, but I am convinced that the middle-class needs help. Hopefully the majority in the Congress aren't under the hypnotic powers of the high function moron in the White House and they can resist him forcing them to bail out the car companies. You're wrong about him saying the current one didn't work. It's too early to tell, and no one knows yet. So why is the Democratic Congress so eager to pony up more taxpayer money? Our children are getting saddled with record deficits. We've already seen some of his ideas throughout the campaign. For most of them, he has to be president first, since he's not yet president. What ideas? Most of what he said were broad, fuzzy feel good platitudes. He did say out of Iraq in 18 months - the clock is ticking, putting a surge of troops in Afghanistan and quite possibly going into Pahkistahn. No one earning less than $250,000 will see a tax increase, most Americans will be paying less in taxes, all this as the Democratic Congress is going into record deficit spending, about 2-3 trillion dollars (based upon current revenue numbers) when all is said and done. Thank heaven Obama got elected! That stooge Bush lowered taxes, increased spending, invaded a soveriegn country and is pulling troops out of Iraq. What a high functioning moron he is! Don't forget about those failed policies! No one wants to turn sour on a president. Even though I thought Bush was a huge mistake, I tried hard to give him the benefit of some time. Right after 9/11, I thought he might actually step up to the plate and do the right thing (didn't know or care if I had known about the My Pet Goat sh*t). For a while, I thought he did fine. Afganistan was the right place... and then it all went to hell with Iraq. He did the opposite of what he was as governer... he was a divider. He got relected. America hasn't been attacked since 9/11. I hope we can believe that our safety will be as good or better under Obama. We all hope (or we all should hope) that Obama can do something... inspire us all to be less partisan and more involved in the solutions we need. Neither he nor any one individual can fix the deep problems we have. I thought Obama was elected because his policies will make America better again - that's leadership. Now our expectations should be "inspiration", "sacrifice" and committees figuring out what the solutions should be? That sounds more like management, not leadership. What happened to Obama's vision? How is he going to "spread the wealth" when it is rapidly vaporizing? Dollars fresh off a printing press are not wealth. Ronald Reagan was put into a very similar situation after knucklehead Carter kneecapped the economy. Today, decades later, people are saying the era of Reagan is finally over. Let's see if we are better off in 4 years than we are today. The current situation is a great test for Obama's understanding of what made America great, he's not in office yet and already his sycophants are backpedalling. Hope and change we can believe in - a great slogan! |

All you are doing is dragging the Democrats to the same level as Republicans by using Republican behavior to justify the Democrats. Your argument is illogical and if anything, undermines your point. If your point is that there is and will be little difference between Obama's "Hope and change we can believe in" and Bush's "Doctrine" I will agree with you. There is very little difference and that is my whole point and, by accident, yours. |
