Wow, I couldn't agree with you more, at least in just taking this statement at face value. Reasons for the tossing and turning may vary, but this sure strikes a chord, a nasty grating flat chord coming from a seriously out of tune geee tar. +1

And that's only the short list of BS.

Presidents come and go, problems persist. This president hasn't even been in office for a year and many of you fortunetellers are already writing him off. Do your crystal balls actually work? Give him a chance, let's see what his policies do.

For crying out loud, this country survived a friggin' War of Independence, a Civil War, and a Great Depression. But you paranoid maniacs don't think it can stand against a change in policy?

Jeez, buck up!
"Give him a chance, let's see what his policies do".......you say?

I'm no fortuneteller and I don't need a stinkin crystal ball to SEE that the policies that he HAS BEEN "proposing" since his campaign are NOT what I believe are in the BEST interest for this nation!
I DON'T NEED to SEE or HEAR much more to be "convinced" that everything he has already done with bailouts, TARP, stimulus, bank bailouts, cash for clunkers, association with the likes of ACORN and his brilliant idea of a universal health care reform being continously shoved down my throat...... on a near-daily basis.....IS ALL the convincing I NEED to KNOW!
We ARE screwed!
He had his chance, but probably has done enough already for me to stomach the next 9 months of this term.
I'm feelin a bit queasy just thinking about it.
He's got far too much on his plate and his transparency is very noticeable to many and especially, on the International stage. He's NOT a good diplomat or representative of WE....the PEOPLE of the USA.....as a collective mass, IMHO!
ACORN maybe, but NOT 300 million Americans!
All about wealth redistribution through social reform groups that are conspiratorial in nature and NOTHING more than an ongoing criminal enterprise, funded by US....the American TAXPAYER.....for many, many years now!
What ELSE are WE....the PEOPLE paying for?
It's SICK....to KNOW just how much and on WHAT....our "leaders" are spending a TON of money ON!
Doesn't ANYONE ELSE think so too?
The corruption REAKS across this land, and nowadays, with soooo many out of work and struggling....it's SICKENING to see the hypocrisy in action.....that of Congress and this administration! Doing the SAME thing that the loser (Big Bonus winner) CEO's did!
SPEND, SPEND, SPEND............like there IS no tomorrow!
Guess money DOES grow on trees? Or....is this what WE do.......with our dollar, right before its completely WORTHLESS and we are "forced" to accept a one world currency and bank next?
My GUT.....IS MY crystal ball, I guess. THIS IS.....the direction I SEE US heading!
Could I be more wrong?
I WILL agree though on one thing........NO matter WHO we elected as our POTUS this time around (Dem. Pub. or anyone)......they WERE to inherit a MESS that has been in the making for many decades, I believe. AND....the mess DID get really big under BUSH too.
MAJOR reforms ARE needed badly, I believe. Just NOT the kind that even remotely......resemble Socialism, Tyranny, Totalitarianism or Communism!!
And "these" are what I have SEEN already for the last 25 years in the making and NOW.......that the Dems. have "control"....they are SERIOUSLY exploiting the policies and legislation enacted under GW for the "purpose of homeland security" in response to 9/11. THEY WANT MORE CONTROL over ALL our LIVES through even bigger govt. and through "major reforms." And IF....they get their way with ANY Health Care Reform or other massive bill they propose.....we WILL SEE what this country resembles soon enough.

I would happily buck up, but what are his policies? Snuggling up to the likes of Chavez and his ilk and selling out little Honduras isn't a policy. Talking tough to Iran but getting involved in drawn out negotiations while Iran is completing a nuclear weapon isn't a policy, it's stupid.

I wish I had your faith, but I think he's a weak president in a dangerous world.
