OBAMA MANIA

[TBEAR]

Thought I would start off with this thread talking about our new president and the many people he has following him that are living in a dream world. First off I did not vote for him. I am not hardcore any particular party and vote for the man. After investigating his background, of which there was nothing ever really shown that appealed to me nor many things he has accomplished, i felt the better choice was McCain.

The mainstream media was extremely ridiculous acting as though Obama was the messiah and refused to confront certain actions in his past.

I sit here wondering what these people will do that have put all of their hopes into this man if he fails.

Hiring ex-Clinton people was also a brilliant move on his part that will eventually bite him.

As far as for President Bush, no matter what anybody beleives, he has kept us safe on our own soil since the attack. If something happens now Obama will have to answer to the people why it happened.

Economy, in 2001 Bush's administration warned Congress about what lenders were doing, then in 2003 he tried to pass legislation to form an investigative division to look into these lenders which failed. So it was not that he did not try.

The Obama Stimulis plan is BS, it will not get the economy going.

I suppose I agree with TBEAR with regards to the sheep which are our media, both electronic (tv) and printed; Obama can do no wrong as he is the messiah.

If G.W. Bush were to appoint a pack of losers like Obama, it would be fodder on Leno, Letterman, comedy channel etc. You do not hear a mention of the lobbyists that Barack Hussein said he would not hire, the fellows who could not pay their taxes until he hired them and so on.

And how quickly Ms Pelosi and Co have jumped on the handout bandwagon. The bill is 50% slush. I would support this if the plan would fix our highways, bridges, and basic infrastructure (levees,coastal protection/barriers) because those are in fact labor intensive.

I do not see a lot of jobs at a frisbee park or in safe sex advertisement.

What is with the democratic leadership that allows people like Pelosi or Barney frank to serve in positions of power anyway? They should shuffle thenm in a corner. Pelosi offering abortion as a means to solve population growth ?

Want an eye opener, peruse this list in detail....Florida for example. Then look at Louisiana and Lafayette versus Alexandria in particular.

Great list Zoe, I don't see anything for Lafayette, I guess Durel wants to tax us here instead.

Great list.......I looked at California, and I for one am glad that President B.O. had the foresight to repave the streets of Beverly Hills. Those poor souls must have to have the Rolls Royce's and Bentley's realigned constantly. A sad day indeed.

And why on earth so much for Alexandria and nothing for Lafayette ? Is that where our democratic congressman is from ?

And in defense of Bobby and the fact that he is being belittled on Leno and Letterman, volcano monitoring is already being done by a federal agency (ever heard of seismograph) and they can pinpoint volcanic activity any place in the WORLD.

[RonS]

I forgot to mention...look at all the projects in B.O.'s home state; The only state more corrupt than ours. And what is the deal with Puerto Rico ? Those guys are not even a state.

I will say this, at least when presented with issues of wrongdoing, Illinois acts upon it, do not sweep under the rug like this state. The Governor was in fact, impeached. We cannot even get our shady local officials indicted.
