  • My dear Greywolf1014,

    I do not care where he was born.

    I do care that a forged document was offered as evidence to answer a legitimate question.

    I do care that the mainstream media will not investigate or report on issues contrary to the national party line and the interests of their corporate owners - like Rather and the Bush service documents, WMD, Bush's involvement in the drug industry, corruption in the finance, energy, defense and health industries.

  • To the true believers,

    "Office of the President Elect" - is that a real "Office" or is it a fraud laid on in Photoshop and printed out real nice and stuck on a podium to convey an image rather than a fact?

    Cheap shot?

    "Office of the President Elect" - that is pretty cheap.

  • Is it a stinking cat?

    Is it a stinking cat?

    Did they put a cat in a bag and told the American people it was a rabbit?

    It is appalling that we do not know and the media is unwilling to find out!

  • My dear Juan Enrique,

    They sold us "Amos" and delivered us "Kingfish".

    Only those who know "Amos 'n Andy" will know what I am talking about.

    "Amos" was the good guy who solved the problem for "Andy" caused by "Kingfish".

    The American Public is "Andy", which is to say the fool, the sucker, the sap.

  • ONE PRESIDENT AT A TIME!! Period

    I think Obama must stay LOW KEY and wait until President Bush's term expires in January 20th 2009, until then Obama has no power to deal with what is Bush's duties. Bush is our president right now.

  • Bush Isn't Finished Yet.................

    Bush 43 may be packing his bags to return to Texas but his team is doing their best to rewrite all sorts of environmental regulations . Many of these will be very hard for the Obama administration to roll back. Similar to a Category 5 hurricane the Bush administration is leaving behind destructive tornadoes to wreck havoc. I was listening to people at Thanksgiving dinner talk afterwards about how Bush is getting the all of the blame and it is really the fault of the Democratic Congress. I kept my mouth shut because why start a with room full of Republicans who apparently have read some of Corsi's book about Obama . When someone tells me that Obama is really a Muslim and not a Christian I know what they are reading w/o having to ask them. I also know that a president can make a difference regarding the economy by being present, paying attention and looking like they know which end is up I would like to think that Bush is burnt out but I know that it is his style of management to give a job to someone and have them go do it. I also heard amongst the after dinner discussion that Obama will be a one term president because he cannot create all of those jobs he has "promised" and the white voters of Ohio and middle America will turn against him. I do not know whether Obama will be regarded as another Lincoln or FDR by future historians but I have a feeling that he will do very well. He is very engaged and aware of the world around him. He seems eager to participate and not phone it in. I think that he is going to surprise everyone . I think that he is going to be a two term president. BTW- the environment isn t the only area where the Bush administration is attempting to push through more negative destructive regulations. You have to hand it to Bush-he is consistent which in the end is unfortunate for us.

    One more point- There isn't an Obama cult contrary to what I heard after dinner. The curtain

    was pulled back on the Bush administration after Katrina. Once people saw how incompetent the response was at the Federal level, {regardless of state & local efforts}, everything else came to light. As more & more information came out on the Iraq con job that in addition to Katrina was the beginning of many people losing both trust & respect for President Bush. Once the trust & respect began to go it was hard to get it back especially as the total record of choosing ideology over competency was becoming clear. To quote the old TV cop show Hawaii 5-0, " we been had brother".. What happened in Grant Park, Chicago was in my opinion the realization as President Gerald R Ford said,"our long national nightmare is over with"

  • Obama is loosing the ‘trust and respect’ of the American people because he has refused to release his ‘vault birth certificate’!

    NJ Dem said:

    “Once the trust & respect began to go it was hard to get it back especially as the total record of choosing ideology over competency was becoming clear.”

    Obama was chosen because of ‘ideology’ and not because of competence because Obama has no record on anything, so his ‘competency’ was not the base for his choosing.

    Obama is loosing the ‘trust and respect’ of the American people because he has refused to release his ‘vault birth certificate’!

  • MINDLESS MADDEN WRONG ON BUSH VANISHING ACT

    Mr. Madden is so careless when he says Bush is now doing a vanishing act. To the contrary, he is as destructive as ever in actions he's taking. The so-called "agreement" with the "Iraqi government" designed to keep our troops there three more years (perpetuating their presence) is one glaring example. The others relate to the many environmental and safety issues he is daily dismantling and voiding. Once again Bush is out-foxing the media and the American people while the media and the public hear only where the Obama girls are going to school and the Bush's Christmasy Hanukkah card and Obama's latest cabinet appointments.

  • jumping the gun...

    Well you can't help but to notice that Obama and all his liberal illuminati friends are jumping the gun on the president thing! I think Obama needs to wait! But at the same time i hope Bush doesn't do much more damage! i think our country is in a bit of purgatory! the interesting thing will be what's happens when we get out.
