All I've been hearing from conservatives the last few days as been infantile whining and cries of "See? See? Obama made a boo-boo! He's a failure!" The man has been in office less than 36 hours.

Wow, how horrible for you. I lasted 8 years.....I am sorry 36 hours is tiring you out

Give it a rest! You're party lost. Get over it!

No!
So?
Why?

The difference is that in Bush's first hours in office his every act and utterance were not greeted by cries of "He's going to fail!!! See what a mistake you made?" It took months for the full horror of the Bush Presidency to become apparent.

1) Pointing out facts regarding the way Obama has thus far conducted himself is hardly saying "he's going to fail"......unless, of course, you equate poor speaking to being a poor leader(surely you don't think a Bush supporter like me thinks poor speaking=poor leader?)

2) Hatred of Bush(and I do mean pure hate) by the media and Dem partisans started well before he even took the oath of office(something he got right the first time, btw ) By the time Bush was executiving a couple of days I'd say he'd taken more shots than Obama will see within the next several months.....in my totally biased opinion I must admit

See, that's where your analogy fails. Obama is anything but a poor speaker.

I agree....if you go back to my op on this subject I said I believed him to be a great speaker and was looking forward to that one aspect of an Obama Presidency; I was merely voicing my disappointment that perhaps he's not as great a speaker as I had originally thought---based on his flubbing the oath and his scores of "ums" during his first executive orders.

Look, I do hope Obama succeeds....when he's acting in our Nations best interests.

I also, will easily admit that I hope he fails.....when he's acting in his own or his parties best interests or just advancing an agenda that goes against my ideals.

I will point out Obama gaffes, mistakes etc when they occur.....not because it happened to Bush, although I will continue to offer up that excuse because the irony does amuse me since I believe Bush went thru a lot of unfair criticisms(my opinion, lets not debate that right now), but mainly because it's just plain FUN. I remember the Clinton years very fondly

I must point out that I hated Bush long before he even ran for president. His record as executioner, er, governor of Texas cinched that opinion for me.

Nothing prepared me for for his reign of terror as President though. But pre-inaugural disdain for W. is not without reason.

Similarly, it's legitimate if anyone wants to hate Obama for his record as Illinois senator. Go ahead. Knock yourself out. How many people did he kill?

Freakin' lefties...

Instead of special quality left-handed scissors why don't you just learn to use quality right-handed scissors like the rest of us. Stop trying to ruin my quality scissors by demanding not only "left-handed scissors" but quality left-handed scissors. Why should lefties get special treatment?
