Gee I don't know...

Maybe it's the $80,000 I lost in my 401K
Maybe it's my share of the ENORMOUS debt he's rung up for the country (and got NOTHING for).
Maybe it's devaluation of the dollar that's made pretty much everything I buy that's shipped in from overseas so much more expensive.

You have already hit the disbursement age for your 401K? That sucks, can understand why it would make you mad.

No they don't.
What planet do you live on?
The GOP has set a record for filibusters - effectively preventing the Democrats from doing much of anything - not to mention the fact that they've controlled the White House for the last 8 years.

No, but I seriously doubt there is any way I will recover the 10 years worth of gains that were wiped out in the 10 years (or less) I have left - especially considering the fact that the closer I get to retirement the more cautious I'm likely to be.

I see...

Sorry my answer was incomprehensible to you. I can't make it any clearer.

Lots of us served active time in the military. But you don't feel any of the damage that Bush caused America is of any concern.

I really don't think he had anything to do with your losses, Maybe you should have done what I did, move it. Haven't lost a penny here and still make money ever month, get my statement from Charles every thirty days.

I'm sure you support wal mart, I keep hearing how much they save Americans every year.

Here have some Obama Oreos to cheer you up! They're Black on the outside and White on the inside, just like the president elect. Don't forget Obama plates too, they taste better on Obama plates. Plus there are special collector edition "Obama in the Sand" ones, where Obama carries Jesus for only $19.99!

Look, it's a bad ass world we live in, has been for along time before Bush was elected President the first time.

But some of you think it's all because of him, well news flash, it isn't.

You do remember they tried to blow up one of the Twin Towers before Bush was President don't you? You have heard of of the USS Cole haven't you? I'm surprised you and others have not tried to blame those on Bush too.

First you need to understand I am not a Bush supporter and never voted for him, but it's stupid to blame him for everything.

I hope he does live up to all this hype but I don't think any human being could especially a politician which regardless of his race must sell his soul to be elected.
You do realize he promoted his own hype... if he fails to live up to his own created hype then it IS his fault... if you can't handle it don't say you "can" otherwise it just makes you look like a liar and as things are panning out... it is exactly that... he switched some of his positions already... hype + ideology = ignorance... oh well, Americans deserve EVERYTHING coming to them... they are the ones who elected him.. however, McCain is also a bad apple... Americans are just plain stupid...
