Look at the bright side. We survived the Civil War and the Carter Administration.

And it's slowly making itself apparent the US is not surviving the combined efforts of the Clinton and G.W.Bush administrations. Obama probably would have done better filling his cabinet with Mafia members rather than the present choices.

2004 wasn't even close, and Kerry conceded. If John Kerry was the best the Democrats could come up with, they shouldn't be so surprised when he goes down in flames.

Not a fan of Kerry, but there were some, shall we say, irregularities in Ohio in 2004. Such as traditional Democratic strongholds producing more votes for Bush than they did total votes.

Considering his cabinet it's hard to tell the difference.

I'm not happy and that's as far as I want to get into it. However, I'm tired of having to hide the way I feel because I'm afraid someone's going to jump down my throat for not agreeing with them, this was the worst election I've ever witnessed, and I'll be d*mned if I ever share my views with someone in the future again.

Well, Obama hasn't even been in office for a month yet, but I already have 2 reasons to strongly disapprove of him:

- His "stimulus" package, which is nothing more than a giant spending bill that'll put us another 800 BILLION IN DEBT. Not only that, but it won't do any good.

- He's going to DOUBLE the amount of troops in Afghanistan. Well, hey it must be good because it's "change" right?

Well, what angle are you criticizing this move on? That it won't work or we shouldn't care?

That it won't work and that he's expanding an extremely pointless war.

His approval rating is dropping by the day. The stimulus is a crock and he's already being laughed at by the Muslim Terrorists Who Are All Muslims.

Dunno if he'll be worse than Carter but it looks like he's trying his damndest. Hopefully for him Al Qaeda is smart enough to wait until he's out of office before they launch another terrorist attack on American soil, because if they aren't it'll ruin the credibility of the democratic party probably forever.

Enjoy your Hopenchange, liberals.

Obama and he cronies have no idea what to do. Obama's main objective was to become president. From that point on he will have to wing it.

It's sort of like discovering that the pilot of your airliner looks great in the uniform but he doesn't know how to fly the plane. Wing it indeed.

Well, I'm not happy about the people in his cabinet who have been evading taxes. And the fact that he basically took Clinton's cabinet.

And his financial scheme is throwing more money at the bank crooks with very little if any supervision as to how it is controlled.
