Why not give Obama a chance? He's not even in office yet, and righties on this list are crucifying him.
From what I've seen, the man is smart, a good family man, and wants to lead his country to a higher level ethically and morally.
Can you say this about George Bush?
Actually I think the Mods have been pretty lenient allowing these type {political} threads to not be removed, as this is not a Politics Forum.
Inflamatory words such as righties or lefties are not unifiying words in my humble opinion.
I have noticed: the 'lefties' {is that the right term? } actually began the post-election threads, in This forum. They've seemed to have been done some what in happiness but yet, I've sensed an aire of "gloating" too. Not nice.
Doesn't belong here, not with those aires, belongs over in politics imho.
It's been a long hard road for ALL of us. Yes 1 day has passed now; let's cut *everyone* some slack and GIVE IT SOME TIME to Settle in, for both *Sides*.
To expect instantaneous peace & acceptance isn't rational.
Bush was *Already* GONE. I don't see where he fits into the conversation and haven't the entire time, for this election.
I Do see where he was used simply as a hammer to continue to divide.
Allow folks to absorb the change....heck we've got till January 20th to go yet! {hmmm, I wonder if that's why they give 'us' 3 month to adjust to the new ideas }
Even after the 20th, it's Sill a long hard road.
It's a Done deal now.
I don't Trust, *Any* Politician, and I'll continue to watch "my back".
And, I appologize for my Richardson thread!
Now, I return you to....the New Mexico forum............
tecpatl, as usual, I enjoy your thoughtful takes on these volatile and emotionally charged issues. You will likely never convince the rabid righties to give this new paradigm a chance. Obama is set the task of addressing a wide plethora of staggering problems left to him by the most irresponsible administration in American history. The very fact that he wants the job is remarkable! I wouldn't want the presidency for twice Bill Gates' assets! Couple grappling with this many headed dragon while defending from an implacable and embittered right-wing block that will take every opportunity to scuttle his efforts at every conceivable turn and this may prove to be the most daunting presidency in recent history. To hear the O'Reilly's, Hannity's, Limpballs, et al, ad nauseum, screaming invective, venting spleen, mindlessly ranting, spluttering lies and threatening the sky will surely fall while mongering their twisted bigotry and hatred is so disturbing it's become comical So like the headless doomed chickens skittering about the proverbial barnyard I'm left in amazement that such dregs have a voice and an avid following in the early twenty first century. Go Obama GO!

I guess you are trying to get this thread shut down, now aren't you.
You are being pretty rude.
You know, conservatives love our babies (and our country) too. Just because you and I (and many others) disagree on the best way to run the country does not give you license to spew your own vitriol.
Since you are getting so politicial I will toss in my own before the thread gets locked -
We all are different people and have alot of different opinions on how the country should be run and who should run it.
That's life, we cannot all think the same way.
I'm not a fan of either side but I listen to both sides of the story. The more the government is involved, the more screwed up our country will become. I say, less government but again that's my opinion.
A concern of ours now (whether we all agree on anything else or not) should be whether or not Obama is going to get our troops back here to America.
