My problems with this President (and I SINCERELY hope I am wrong and would welcome the day when I need to come in here and apologize) is that I think he is a bright, and briliant even politician, BUT he has conned so many people with his rhetoric. HE IS A POLITICIAN....when you check what he has done it will tell you what he will do.
Do I think that Sen McCain was a better choice...as an individual NO, but in the current settings, ie., the current congress then yes. Without some kind of control this situation is going to get out of hand very very quickly.
There are so many little "wrinkles" in the stiumulus that he did not tell us that beholds the states to the federal government for a long long time and so many left wing radical groups that will share in the money it is just plain scary.
BUT I do agree with you and thank you for saying it. I have never said that President Obama added the pork but do question who is running the show !!!

They are ALL "POLITICIANS", McCain and everyone else included.
Will Obama make mistakes, misteps, and mistatements (lies by some views)? Of course, just like there will always be a loyal cadre in opposition to leap upon each and every one of them. This is the distasteful nature of politics IMHO. It's hard to roll in the mud and tussel with pigs without getting dirty, so unfortunately everyone gets soiled until everyone is willing to clean up their act. Problem is, as long as the economy and prosperity are rocking along it doesn't seem to concern everyone quite as much.
I also wonder, how many of those clamoring about earmarks on both sides are willing to step up and strike them from their district or state, or from those of their colleagues? How many citizens are willing to refuse them for their community? I suspect few on both sides when it gets down to the nitty gritty.
