thats...creepy

Actually, it's not much different than many of the folks on here.

Ok, now THAT was funny!

Come on Ptah, at least you have a new purpose in life.  I mean, instead of defending incompetents and the like.

Yep, now I get to make fun of the supporters of incompetents. Folks elected to the highest office in the land who have less experience than the lady that runs my local school board.

The last half of a minute (Demond Wilson) is the part that really had me slamming my fist whilst yelling "Fuck yeah" here (All-Though, even more disgusting than the thought of an inauguration its-self {I've never - And, never will - watched one} was perusing the HuffingtonPost main page, and witnessing Ariana Huffington's attempt to make the day all about her and her fucking friends).

Bush can be blamed for anything and everything bad that happened, a vast majority of which wasn't his fault. Bush gets no credit for anything positive that happened during his presidency (record low unemployment, record markets, etc)...

A Final Word from Dana Perino, White House Press Secretary for the Bush Administration:

Look at it this way, Phah... you win either way. 

--- If O-bah-ma does a good job and gets the American house in order, you win because you will personally benefit from the success.

--- if O-bah-ma screws up royally, he'll suffer the same fate as Carter and the Republicans will quickly retake the White House, and likely Congress as well.

Heads you win, tails you win.

RT clearly has applied some astringent to her puckerstar and is jetting all over High-Street.

Ptah, on the other hand, is being Ptah.  Welcome back.

Phred, I suspect trying to bond with RT and Ptah will make them somewhat uncomfortable. 

Is the glazed look is telegraphing a Reagan-on-Rushmore movement?

Or, as to be expected, you're simply not paying attention as usual.  Guess which way I'm going on this one?

He's got no balls unless he places a wage freeze on the union workers too.

Would you say the same for capping salaries for all levels of management, as well?

I thought that's what he just did.  He capped the pay for senior management who make more than $100k.  Actually, that's not a very high wage in DC.  There are lots of union workers in and around the White House who make more than that.

Source?

Sorry all, call me crazy or whatever, but I am not an Obama-lama-ding-dong fan.

When the man does something other than "inspire" feelings and emotions, then I will be behind him.  Yes, yes, he's just blowing such wonderful sunshine up everyone's asshole, that we should all discount the fact that he's done nothing yet in the political realm...because...it's so bad here, that he can't possibly be any WORSE than Bush!!  Remember, that *alone* is enough of a reason to worship, erm, I mean vote for Obama.   Some people are just so glad to see Bush go, that they will blindly follow any semblance of hope and sanity.  The American Way (TM) is so threatened and crumbling (ok that part was sarcasm-free!) that *anything* or *anyone* has *got* to be better...! 

So drink all ye zombots, of the sugary-kool aid that is otherwise known as an "Obamapolitan".  I would suggest you rim the glass with some grains of salt though.  Or you can skip the glass, and just rim Obama directly.  Drink and ye will be fulfilled... 

Remember all ye faithful, never to judge a man by what he's done, but by what he may possibly do that isn't worse than the guy before him...!

Please be sure to shed a tear for the racial harmony and well trodden trail that Obama has forged for us to follow in order to get to the end of the yellow brick road so that we can meet with the Wizard and find our way back home to Kansas.   Don't forget to see if you can get the Wizard to give GW a heart while you're there!

OH wait...

Sometimes I thinks she needs it seriously bad in the third way.  Call it therapy.    Yes, I am glad Bush is gone, I suggest you read the news on what the man did on his first day of work.  That is a lot of reversing of rather perverse shit.

Fuck you RT!

It was Flavor-Aid, not Kool-Aid.

I'm getting sick and tired of hearing you badmouth a sugary, fruity, colored beverage that has done none, save teeth, any harm.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

You people are no fun.  I finally dip my toe into the political putrescence and now everyone wants to sing Kumbayah!

I love Gitmo, I think it should be a vacation resort.  (I guess I should say I am kidding...)

Flavor-aid, kool-aid, Crystal lite, it's all flavored water.   If Obama was from Florida, it would be Gator-aid.

Where's Ted Kennedy???  WHy isn't he dead?  And since when did that Lohan wench become a lesbian???

Psssst... Woggah.  Careful, it looks like Phwedd wants a 3 way with you and the ex.  Shhsssssssh.

Nahh RT, prudence is the path at this point ~ too many fan bois already.

I am hoping that extraordinary circumstances combined with extraordinary expectations combine to create extraordinary performance.



I wish we could settle for good, but this is not the time for average performance.

At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols.

I never said I thought Bush was good or great.  I'm glad to see him go.  You mistake the fact that I am simply saying that so many people use the excuse "well anything is better than Bush" as a reason to support Obama.

I'd rather people support Obama on his own merits.  So far, he has not done anything other than get elected.  So he inspired hope in the desperate masses.  Now let's see what he can do with that.

I'm not saying I am against Obama.  Just that I am against the BLIND WORSHIP.

I hope he does something great for this country as much as the rest of you.  But I hate blind worship. 

Stop drinking the kool aid! 

Btw, when blacks say that now they feel they are 'equal' in this country because of Obama being elected - is that not a smack in the face to the other minorities like jews, asians, hispanics, and even gays - that have not had the fortune to have a member of their race/religion/sexual orientation elected to the highest post in this country?

Because apparently...racial equality only concerns whites and blacks.  The rest of the races don't matter!

Call me devil's advocate if you will, I don't give a shit.  I hate politics anyhow.

What you said, RT.

I hated B*** (can't we give him a symbol or something, like Prince, so I don't have to hear or write his name again?).  But I wasn't pleased with Obama either - he's done nothing of substance in his career, and my even greater concern is he has no long-time confidants (so called 'peeps')... and therefore no source of trusted council.  And I never trust a man who has no old, trusted friends.

I am in wait-and-see mode.

Yep, wait and see mode it is.  You certainly won't catch me crying over the election of a man with no proven substance. 

He can obtain substance, but he sure didn't walk into the White House with it in the bag.

He's not in charge of the fucking unions.  I'm surprised at you--this is idiocy far beneath your usual level.

Obama is nothing more than a token.  Joe Biden is his Cheney who will be managing him.  The people who matter are the ones around him.
