I've already been fitted with my new Mao jacket j/k.

I see the glass as half full and look forward to the remaining 93%. There's a lot that needs fixing.

Remember, Khrushchev told Eisenhower's Ag Secretary that his grandchildren would be living under communism. His grandchildren would probably be in their 40's or 50's now. I think before it is all over, he will be right.

I wonder if there was ever a time when folks said things didn't need fixing, that everything was fine just the way it was.

The problem is, career politicians never fix anything, as fixed things mean no problems.

I’m just being facetious but given the last 100 days, this is no America I would recognize and with 93% of his term left I’m shaking in my boots thinking about what we’ll look like by then… or what will be left standing.

I was just listening to Obama’s take on the supreme court from an interview eight years ago. He clearly said he was in favor of appointing supreme court judges that have a feeling or empathy for people on the “outside” who may not have resources to protect themselves. I guess that comes from his community organizing days. I was always taught that judges make decisions based on the law or the Constitution not feelings or empathy. He also made very clear statements regarding (and he used the term) redistribution of wealth.

Now just look at what he did with Chrysler. He screwed the private sector bond holders, paid the banks off via TARP money for their loses and gave control of Chrysler to the unions… who are run by democratic supporters btw. Bet you he does the same with GM.

Forget about liberal or conservative. Never in my life would I thought we’d see this in America. This guy and his twisted ideas are so radical I can hardly believe it. Crap sakes, he's starting to make me miss Bill Clinton now.

Obama is dangerous and out of control.

I'm with you, dklassen. I knew it was goiong to be bad, but didn't know it would be this bad, this fast. I still would like to know how the economy just happened to crash a month before the election. Everyone keeps talking about how horrible the last eight years were. I disagreed with a lot of things Bush did, but I don't think they were that awful. It seems to me things started going down hill after Pelosi and Co. took over.

Guest 05-01-2009 04:05 PM

All this crying makes me barf

Maybe that was a little harsh.

Just telling a co-worker, sure am glad Obama is around. Gives all these people something to complain and wine about.

Someone slap me for coming and looking at Politcal again. Did obama run the country in the ground in 100 days. Could bet the farm on it was like this when he took office, but I guess it depends on what book one reads. Sure is funny the market is making a run. Oh Snap that is Because of the Republicans, Forgot????????????????? :girlneener:

Pres. Obama is not the problem - his "handlers" are. Every action he has done so far does not show him as being independent from 20+-plus-years-in-the-House Speaker Pelosi, 20+-years-in-the-Senate Leader Reid, and the others with multi-decade DC time who have written the platforms, paved the way, and now are collecting their debts. Pres. Obama is just too new a face with too few folk owing him to have the impact he's getting "credit" for.

After reading some of these posts, I'm afraid to leave the house!

That would be yes.

If your significant other ran up fifty or sixty thousand on your credit cards in 100 days I wonder if you'd consider yourself run in the ground?

Guest 05-01-2009 05:25 PM

If he's that effective in running it into the ground in only 100 days, just think what he can do to turn it around in 200 days..

I can't Immagine what shape my finances would be in if I were to run my budget the way they are running the economy.:rant-rave::rant-rave:

This fact, plus if you read the book "The Shadow Party" which details the plans by George Soros and a few others who had such hate for George Bush (BEFORE Iraq) that early on in his first term they began a network dedicated to taking the Democratic party over and moving it ultra liberal involving 4/5 unions, non profit activist groups (Think ACORN and MOVEON).

For more on this "shadow group" see...

Read it...it is absolutely stunning...

Now, all of this BEFORE Barrack Obama and all of a sudden they find a young man with skills they never imagined who was trained all of his life in radical viewpoints and tactics (The Shadow party is all about radical behavior).

This, a guy, who lived and trained all his life for socialism.

NO, I do not believe in anyway that President Obama is the source of our problems, HOWEVER I do believe we now have the PERFECT STORM. A socialist leaning President trained and schooled in the far left, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY he has a congress controlled by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid (I might add that much of the time those roles are reversed in that Pelosi, especially, controls the President...see a pork filled "stimulus" bill that not only had not the voting members of Congress read but neither had the President).

This "perfect storm" sets the stage and in a mere 100 days they have shocked everyone by taking advantage of every crisis to demean our position and then save us ( a tactic espoused by Saul Alinsky....one of the folks who Obama modeled all his behavior after).

Thus I fear greatly for our future !!!!

Thank you for your kind and intelligent words. I supplied a website but there is a book !!!

Have you read the book ? It was witten by NY TIMES best selling authors and was a bestseller, but of course....if YOU dont agree with something, it must be some nut job !!!

Oh and the FACTS on Obama all public history and included in his TWO AUTOBIOGRAPHIES...sometimes both of them agree on facts !

I might add, since from your short personal "shots" at folks and your generalizations, that you dont read much...it was on the Times bestseller list the first week published and frankly speaks also of right wing groups. But then again.....I keep forgetting if YOU dont agree then we all are nut jobs !
