Obama is exhibiting something that has been missing in our government for far too many years. He is showing confidence,intelligence, and true leadership.

While we may not agree with everything Obama says, or does, we have to respect reality and recognize the vast problems he has inherited and we have to respect his sincerity as he begins his presidency.

To criticize Obama's performance, without offering viable alternatives, is useless pandering to fear and ignorance.

But in conformance with Salon/Greenwaldian doctrine, Obama is evil. He is secretly more right wing than the right wing. Hey I don't make the rules, I just report on them.

No, there is no reason to respect or accept the cowardly perceptions and actions of cowards. And it appears as if Hope and Change have taken a back seat in order to let the agenda of our security and intelligence apparatus steer the ship of state.

So there are no alternative solutions being offered instead of locking people up indefinitely? You really believe that? Were you saying the same thing when Bush was the one doing it?

Impeach this spineless liar.

let's start by not making millions so hate america that they will give their lives for revenge.

security does not come from big armies and murderous secret police, it comes from not being an arrogant and brutal empire, and supporter of quisling dictatorships.

So NOW you figured things out, huh? A bit TOO LATE, isn't it?

Oh well, just 3 1/2 more years of this and then you can try again. MAYBE you'll all be a bit SMARTER than you were THIS time.
