I just don't like the name calling and angry comments some people make instead of responding with civility. Some time ago you called yourself a member of the "loyal opposition" in a post about the current administration. I responded the same way I am now: It's fine to be an opponent, but would you just stick to responding to the comments posed or questions asked without an angry tone and without name calling or personal attacks.
You can read my original post and how I asked if folks could stop ridiculing the President for using a teleprompter because he did a pretty good job of explaining his health insurance proposal off-the-cuff last night.
I must confess, my last comment was rather a tease, because I suspected none of those who have been ridiculing the President for such a frivolous reason as using a teleprompter would back down and respond to my post directly with something like: "Yeh, I guess he showed he could speak coherently without the teleprompter." cabo's first sentence above was a start but I heard things differently than he did after that.
Again, I respect and admire the intelligence and passion of many of the posters in the political forum, the majority of whom seem to disagree with me. I've learned some things from them. And I'd spend more time reading and writing here if it weren't for the way some posters express themselves.

Speaking only for myself, I think you are witnessing some battle weary people who have consistently questioned Obama's policies during the election, only to be ridiculed and be subjected to the Bush Bashing that was gleefully practiced around here and everywhere. The hypocrisy that is being displayed here and all over the internet, is exasperating. All of a sudden it is not hip to criticize the sitting president. Where was I when the protocol committee made this decision?
Also, it boils my blood when I see a charismatic speaker leading his sheeple by words that when dissected, do not really say anything about a system that is going to affect over 300 million people. When all I hear is "He talks nice" or " I trust him" or "He talks better then Bush" I worry...I worry alot!!!!
