he can read newspapers!

he needs to sit down with sarah palin and give her a couple of quick tutorials.

Lets wait and see, all this speculation and guessing means nothing. We'll know if he can do the job when he does the job, period end of story. He's not in office yet. Give the guy some time. Personally I think he's fucking amazing and will revolutionize the job and we'll see tremendous benefits. I think he'll be with us for a long time. We are very fucking lucky because its takes a miracle to clean up after Bush and I think we got one. Lets wait and see, give the guy a chance.

Thank you for the upbeat assessement and the positive thinking.

[highway234]

i agree, well said. positive vibes are much needed and rarely seen these days.

[bennygale]

The Republicans have nothing to offer. They are reptiles.

But then, the Democrats are Republicans light.

Republicrats.

Government for and by the Corporations. Nothing will change in that regard.

Cut the obscenely bloated 'Defense' budget in half, or less.

[highway234]

i like republican attitudes on individual responsibility, defending the right to keep arms to protect you and your family, on aggressive global defense of freedom and democracy (and willingness to use just force when necessary), free enterprise and personal initiative, any number of other conservative ideals appeal to me. only problem is, it sounds stellar on paper, in practice republicans seem to hose it up consistently. if BHO incorporates repub theory w/o their shoddy practice im ok with it.

[highway234]

i agree about the defense budget by the way. it's ridiculous, an obvious racket.

[angelbe88]

Is he not aware of his body language? That surprises me, considering these politicians who get to this level, are nothing more than actors acting as caring concerned leaders. Either that or he is severely mentally compromised. The depth of the corruption has become more than obvious. Any clear thinking individual can see that. I seriously like obama, but I had to be honest with myself. He is not the one in control.

[hippieCy08]

umm, what are you talking about angel? It might help if your point was connected to an analysis that actually critique Obama.

anyway, what's this 'confident' debate about Obama? Was he supposed 2 have a nervous breakdown on t.v. to reassure the media and public? I mean 80% of Americans having confidence in him means he's calm and collected and it helps to have some sanity in time of political and economic insanity.

[angelbe88]

All you have to understand is that our presidents are not the ones making the decisions. That is my point.

[supraboytt]

Yeah I can see how it seems like theres a mind controlling alien stuck to his brain, manipulating his thoughts......

Dumbass

angelbe88:

" I seriously like obama"

When did you first begin to like Obama?

What are some things that made you like Obama?

[Z200a]

Watching him perform on the national stage for two years while articulating his view of government. Thanks for asking.

[dluviam]

I don't understand this reply I received from you.

I didn't ask you anything Z200a.

[Z200a]

Yes, I know you weren't directing your question at me. But I answered you, anyway.

[dluviam]

You're infantile Z200a.

[Z200a]

I may have misinterpreted the intent of your initial questions. I thought you were a wingnut trying to make suggest, as so many of them do, that no Obama supporter could possibly have a substantive or valid reason for admiring the president-elect, and would be unable to, e.g., defend the man on his merits. After your previous response, I checked out your channel and realized I was probably mistaken. My apologies.

[Z200a]

This is a completely incoherent post. It's totally unclear what you are talking about. "Corruption is obvious?" "Not aware of body language?" "Mentally compromised?"

If you're going to drop a bunch of non-sequiturs, you might consider explaining them so people don't think you're just babbling.
