So we can blame any downward movement of the market for the last 2 hours and 25 minutes on Obama? Happening on his watch, after all. :)

Yes, and the inmates have all been given planes so that they can fly to Washington, D.C., for their hearings.

It is a decision that may come to be regretted. But it is also a promise kept.

I can't help but laugh- I know you're kidding, but I also know the right wingers are praying for disaster just so they can say "I told you so!". Kind of a cutting off one's nose thing.

So because you've never heard of him, he mustn't be a deserving person to make the speech?

Didn't take me long to find out he's a respectable guy.

At the request of Martin Luther King Jr., Lowery led the Selma to Montgomery march in 1965.

Seriously, Leo, you're going to start attacking a guy who led one of the THE most important civil rights marches in American history?

Apparently Scaeagles agrees that the Asians in the country need to chill.

I have high hopes, yet I have serious doubts.
Not in the man, but in the power of what still sits in opposition to him and the mountainous size of what it is he now has to change to 'set things right'.

in my heart of hearts, I wish him the very best of luck, for I fear he's going to need it.

Morrigoon 01-20-2009 02:17 PM

He is going to need it, that's right.

From what I understand, the jackals are already lining up with saliva dripping into their grubby paws for their share of the trillion dollar spoils soon to come.

I have confidence in Obama ... but none in Congress. The money is going to be frittered away on crap unless Obama really does have a cape and some spandex under that overcoat.

Capt Jack 01-20-2009 07:52 PM

then lets all hope and pray, that the throngs of supporters that appeared today in washington and around the nation help him watch congress like 10 million hawks and swarm them like angry red ants when they try to pull their 'business as usual' BS.

youre right, one man alone cant do it. one man with millions upon millions of ACTUAL supporters, just might be able to

Dearest All,

Congratulations upon the appointment of your new President.

Although opinions may differ on the individual, that's not what it's really about. It's about the ability of your new government to make your lives better, and your willingness to bring about positive change.

If it works, you will benefit, as will those touched by the USA.

Love and Hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

PS// Make it happen soon, 'cos I'll be there shortly.
