How long do you think it will take Obermann to credit Obama for
everything from handling the negotiations to taking the shot:) ?

Not nearly as long as it will take you to blame Obama for everything
that's happened for the last 8 years.

I did not call Obama a Pantyywaist Surrender Monkey, the UK Telegraph
did. However, I still think Obama is in waaaaaaaay over his head.

The right-wing punditry was out betting on our inability to control
the circumstance, in hopes that it'd reflect poorly on Obama.

Newt, Michelle Malkin, Hannity and every other dweeb that could place
a bad bet were in attendance.

Sure enough, now the credit goes to the special forces and "our
president" never to be referred to by name.

Half-baked foolishness from a party near death.

The right-wing nutsies "hope for failure" in resolving the
pirate-hostage issue was more than palpable. Their leader, Rush
Limbaugh, wants Obama "to fail," and so do they. It is their only hope
to get back in control, because they have no plans, no ideas, no nothing
in order to entice the voters. Consider who here are the right-wing
nutsies - guys no rational person would choose to shine shoes.

Please note that Interstate 90 will be closed this weekend across
South Dakota. This closure will allow the Federal Government free

President Obama can be added to the Presidents on the monument.

It's really surprising how out of touch they are.

Not long ago it was the dems who lacked ideas. They foundered, lost
a lot of elections. When they finally came to their senses, they
pushed ideas that captured the imagination of Americans that yearned
for leadership and goals.

Republicans seem to have completely forgotten that lesson. They're
completely void of ideas that Americans can embrace, now reduced to
making come line bets against the party in power.

It doesn't help our country to be without a worthy opposition, whether
it be Rs or Ds. But the Rs right now are in the saddest shape I've
witnessed since I started paying attention in the 70s.

Actually both the D's and R's are in sad shape. And if the D's do not
correct their course (boating reference) in a short time, they are going to
be on the outside looking in again. Obama won the popular vote by a small
majority. This was not a landslide victory. Hell, after Bush, just about
any D could of won. And when you see how little the D's polled against a
lightweight candidate in McCain, you need to be really worried.

Bill, Obama won by the largest percentage in recent history. The 6%
margin in popular vote is considered a landslide.

I agree that D's can screw it up but the complete lack of ideas from
the R's isn't going to return them to power.

Obama will take advantage of every opportunity the R's give him to
undercut their message and connection to the electorate. They'd
better come up with real answers to real problems if they hope to gain
any foothold in the next several election cycles.

Yeah, but . . . don't just concentrate on the Presidential election, look
at the Congressional elections, Gubernatorial elections, etc. The
Republicans have a plurality in just *five* states. They have given up
the middle ground from which most elections are won, and, they are
fundamentally divided between the conservative (political) right, and the
Christian right. IMO, the Republicans are so weakened that a third
party, perhaps the Libertarians, might provide the opposition in a couple
of election cycles.

On another point, I wouldn't call McCain lightweight. He did run a very
poor campaign, but he isn't a lightweight.

McCain is a lightweight. No charisma, no real fire, no great ideas. More
and more people are registering Independent, so the Libertarians may gain a
lot of power, if they put forward a lot of middle of the road, self
sufficiency ideas. Ideas on how to really trim back government control and
spending. Until then, they are just a party favoring loosening up drug
laws. People are ****ed about the Trillion dollar wasteful "stimulus"
package. Looks more like a Trillion bucks of earmarks.
