Oh, and umm, on the "not bad for a first day" post?

Close Gitmo in a year? His campaign promise was to have it closed in 100 days? And one of his blind followers (and chief apologists at HS, I might add) brags that signing some piece of paper saying "lets close that sucker in a year" is a major accomplishment?

Well, if going back on campaign promises is a major accomplishment to you, I guess he is the Ayatollah of American then!!!

OMG!!! Are you saying that he's actually a politician???

Who woulda thunk it?

You have mistaken the tears of relief for the end of the bush catastrophe.  The vast majority here are far to cynical to fall into the "fan boi" crowd.

Here we go again with the excuse "I'm not crying over the Joy of Obama (tm), but over the evacuation of Bush".

When I think of Bush leaving, tears don't well up.  I smile and do a happy dance.  Crying is the last thing I'd do over GW.

I'm telling you this Obama worship is like some religious cult.  A normally hard core cynic (but left leaning) friend of mine almost broke into tears at lunch today while describing the joy he felt when children all over the world were rotely reciting the words "yes, we can".  I almost puked up my won ton soup.

Of course you did.  It is what has been described as a "Knee Jerk Reaction".  You're hard wired, cynical, and haven't drunk enough of Rush Limbaugh's Kool Aide (it's a funny pissy,prissy, sissy bilious yellow color hey!)

Only fools drink Rush's koolaid these days; everyone else knows it's laced with Viagra and Oxycontin.

Consider the fact that constant anger works wonders with blood pressure etc.  The old fuck is a mess.

Well the "True American Patriot: Rush Limbaugh" has now publically stated that he hopes Obama fails, in other words he wants the country to suffer and weaken.

(rant:  True Patriots and Americans put the good of the country before their personal political beliefs - the Republican party has become the party of traitors)

There were persistent rumors that Shrub was boffing Condi.  The deed may have occurred on occasion in the White House.

Edit: I see that Dusty beat me to the punch on Shrub and Condi, and had a better punch line

So what? The guy has maybe 100 days to pull his shit together, and then the wolves will come unleashed and the country will start crumbling and the haters will go crazy. More so, in fact, because he's black and because of the backlash against all the people who believed in him in the first place. I hope to God he's able to do something good, and if he's not, it's aloha in 3 and a half years.

By the way, The Onion has had some amusing headlines lately.
http://www.theonion.com/content/index

I'm not against Obama making the country a better place, I'm just not supportive of him because I disagree with him on nearly everything...  The world Obama envisions is rife with regulation and governmental control, a weakening of the rights of the individual, more powerful unions, and a heavy dose of multiculturalism....  To be honest I would love for him to not honor his campaign promises because then I would not be subjected to all this bullshit....

I doubt if Condi was boffing *any* man.  If she's not a lipstick lady, I'll be surprised.  She dates guys as beards.

Everyone knows Condi isn’t interested in men.  What she did with Shrub was just a matter of sleeping with the boss to further her own career.  At one point, it cost her a trip to the hospital to have “a growth” removed from her uterus.

This little piece of 17th century English poetry by John Wilmot shows how nothing has changed....

God bless our good and gracious king,
Whose promise none relies on;
Who never said a foolish thing,
Nor ever did a wise one.

Because they're pigs.

They had eight years of having it all their own way, but that wasn't enough and they're furious that it's over (for now).

I think a lot of them are terrified of the dirty laundry the new regime will be able to make public should the fit take them (I really, really hope it does.  I want a goddamn purge.  But alas, I don't think this regime is of that mindset).

Because they've worn the concept of elitism completely threadbare, and the public is sick of that particular poison anyway, they've shifted to mocking optimism and hope.

Apparently, according to them, it's now childish to love your country, and naive to imagine our situation can improve.

Fuck 'em.  Let them mourn the muck this country became in the last eight years, since that's the kind of nation they preferred to live in.  Leave them squatting in it, since they're so loath to rise out of it.

I could give a shit or less about the Republican's dirty laundry, I'm not a Republican....  I also don't think it's childish to love your country which I do....  I just do not want a country that does not recognize and support the individual and his or her rights as the ultimate goal....  The only role of government is to create an environment in which the individual has the opportunity to thrive based upon his or her abilities and work ethic....  We need to adopt a more constitutionalist approach and limit the Federal government to just the broad based roles outlined in the constitution....  It's as short sighted supporting Barack Obama in this fashion as it was supporting George W. Bush with his "For us or against us" concept....  Obama does not represent me or my philosophies and beliefs, for that reason I do not support him...  That does not make me un-American, that does not make me hateful or shallow, that simply makes me a person who is capable of thinking for themself without having to choose a hero to save the day for me...

EXACTLY!!!!!!  especially that last sentence...

EXACTLY!!!!!!  especially that last sentence...

Thank you Roger....  I constantly see all kinds of hate and discontent from all sides directed at the Federal government...  Very few people are ever happy with them, esp. the Executive branch, for very long at all...  When Bush first became president he had all kinds of support much in the same fashion that Barack Obama is enjoying now and look what happened there....  The Federal government needed a strong role in the past, but with current communication technologies, extremely high literacy rates in the West and a better educated public their role is becoming mute....  The modern world has become a place in which the individual can think and choose for themselves without having "big brother" do the decision making for them...  The modern Western world has also become a place in which there are no true victims...  The best example of this is Barack Obama himself, a black man raised by a single mother who became the President of the United States....  There is no better example of what an individual can do for himself with hard work and determination....

I just got a-round to watching this clip.  Did every-body else here the same thing that I heard:  "They do a-lot of touching, kissing - Even fisting with one an-other?"  I really could have done with-out that image in my head.

That's what I heard, but I assumed that she meant something else.  No idea what it could be, but...never mind, I pictured it.

Hope has to be the first step don't you think? Without it there is no need to try.

Ahh, I love High Street.  Every conversation eventually degrades to a sexual perversion of some kind.

Fisting.  Excellent!

Names of owner(s), please, phred. 

This seems relevant.

Why the puppet masters of course.   Big business, big oil, big unions, party leaders, lobbyists, etc, etc.  Nobody becomes a national politico without baggage and favors to be paid.  And on that note, here is a quote from the story you posted:

"The way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable," Obama said. "And the way to make government accountable is make it transparent so that the American people can know exactly what decisions are being made, how they're being made, and whether their interests are being well served."

In response to the new "open government" policy, I offer this tidbit about our new Secretary of State.

I can't believe your still whining about the no-bid contracts; that's just Republican Capitalism at work - increasing competion by decreasing the number of competitors.

Especially since Halliburton is the only company that does the work they get these contracts for IIRC.

Besides, the money will eventually trickle down to the everyday average banker in the Cayman islands.

Didn't Clinton dole out a shitload of no-bid contracts to Halliburton?

He should be in JAIL!!!

Shoo, troll.  Come up with something at least mildly amusing.

It is no use.

Logic is like Sanskrit to the gullible masses.

Actually, Bush had lukewarm support that was eking away slowly until September 11th.  Don't you guys remember the articles about how he already seemed to be a lame duck?  He put all of his energy into trying to privatize Social Security and people weren't buying it, the Chinese had already made him look like a chump with the downed US plane, and he was already getting criticism about cronyism and his "energy board" that was just a bunch of oil execs having lunch with Cheney.  When people were attacked the level of nationalism went through the roof, and his numbers skyrocketed.

Once it really, finally got through people's heads that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11 and we weren't going to have Bin Laden's head on a pig pole people started to look at Bush himself again, and weren't all that pleased with what they saw.

I can't argue with the gullibility of the masses, though, considering that it took well past 2004 for people to finally start to get it about Iraq.

Obama is entering office with the highest approval ratings in recent history, in part because on top of the fact that very few people believed it was possible, he seems to get shit done, and they want someone to pull us out of the messes that the past administration got us into and the ones that they couldn't seem to do anything about.  You can call it gullible if you want, but that's only if you believe that he can't really do what he says he'll do.  Hope is only gullibility if you are being lied to, and if that turns out to be the case, then yes, his numbers will tank, too.  There doesn't seem to be any evidence to back that up, though.
