That is what patriots do.

Actually it is NOT even funny but SAD!!!
Yep. And lets not beat around the bush. We all know why some voted for him. Here are some categories:

A. Die hard liberals/democrats. As long as a D is next to their name and they are liberal, it doesnt matter.

B. And its safe to say, most blacks voted for him because was at least half the color they are, and is a Dem. If he were a conservative, most would have voted against him because a black conservative is just a white person in their eyes. And besides, if a black Conservative ran for the GOP, you wouldnt have heard zip about "making history" from the media and Hollywood.

C. The know-nothings who are more in tune with "celebrities" and Hollywood. You know, the ones who dont have a clue about whats going on but sure know which recent celeb had a baby and sold pics of their baby for millions. They vote based on who's popular. Obama became this hip star. This new, oh so cool guy who could speak so well. He was touted by the media and Hollywood...they pushed him on everyone and made him out to be basically the messiah. For heavens sake, you had people fainting over Obama during the campaign. Sure, these people could repeat "Hope and Change" but they knew NOTHING of the mans record, beliefs, and past.

When did Media Matters or HuffPo say all this? I missed it but then I don't look at those people, ever unless linked by lefties. Maybe you could come up with a link.

I speak out plenty. But I am not the sort of self-loathing, self destructive idiot who would cripple my own nation because I lost the election and would rather have a failed President than a successful nation. A Limbaughesque desire to see my President fail is a completely alien idea to me. It does strike me as profoundly unAmerican.

But hey... that's just me.

Please tell me that this is not really what you think the most important issue is confronting our nation right now? We are barely clawing our way out of the worst economic disaster in some 80 years, and you are worried about mockery?

Patton once said that, "A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week." And yet the hatred for this President runs so deep that an entire political party has decided that we will execute no plans at all.

I'm sorry. But that's just insane.

I am doing that. And my message is to support this President and get this nation moving. I vote for people to govern, not to refuse to govern.

So, we should justified why we like POTUS. Really!

Hey, if you don't, then you don't. I really don't care why. That's your opinion.

I'm disappointed in some of his decisions, but that's expected. He's my Prez and I support him.

I'll take O's intellect over Bush's gut feeling any day!

OHB...YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
