Lighten up!

Good grief! He is not even in office yet and everybody and his grandmother is disappointed in our new President. The poor guy (not to mention all of us) is faced with the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, two wars, massive debt, and practically everyone on the left is whining about change.

Duh, we already got changed (see the last eight years--better yet, see if you have a job, health insurance or a retirement plan!) We need experienced people in the cabinet, well, ok I would draw the line at Bob Gates, too, but that being said, I think we need to trust Obama for a while.

We don't need a knight in shining armor right now, we need someone who knows how to work the "Jaws of Life" and some competent paramedics.

See you at the Inauguration, fellow lefties. Let's celebrate something for a CHANGE!!
