That's the way it works on forums, and on unmoderated blogs. <BR/><BR/>If the only voice you hear is your own, sometimes that's not bad. Oily spots can be scrubbed out easily via Blogger.com. <BR/><BR/>The new President has been in office for just over two months. The learning curve on most jobs is three months. Does anyone think things would change in a minute? It's politics, folks. I've been involved in it -- local, state and national stages -- since age eight. It's a rough ride. <BR/><BR/>I think we have a good solid thoughtful and competent man in the White House who wants to fix things. Some of this territory is uncharted. Let's see where we are in a couple of years. <BR/><BR/>By the way, according to reports I heard yesterday, the President has a 63% approval rating. I'd say that is excellent and it could increase if people stop their nit-picking. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to give President Obama a good long time before I kick him to the curb. I'm sick to death of the naysayers who watch his hair (Turning gray? From stress?) and the small growth to the left of his nose (Cancer? Maybe...) to his smile (What can we read into that with a twisted gaze?). <BR/><BR/>Frankly, just having a REAL LIVE PERSON who can THINK and TALK in actual ENGLISH is a refreshing change. But, of course, you can say that's because he uses a teleprompter. <BR/><BR/>I believe the people who have actual blogs on this thread are longtime friends and supporters of Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfield and the rest of the crew. Fine. That's the team that LOST, right? The new team is just getting organized and has to recover some of the turf torn up by the old team. <BR/><BR/>Right now, IMHO, a special prosecutor should be appointed IMMEDIATELY to investigate whether anyone in the last administration is guilty of war crimes. The evidence is there -- and people who are a lot smarter than I am say it must be done for the good of the country. <BR/><BR/>EKEllen Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689933781339538684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-75295593507964334322009-03-25T23:11:00.000-07:002009-03-25T23:11:00.000-07:00Well, it looks like there's some advice in there, ...Well, it looks like there's some advice in there, just stated in a different way. <BR/><BR/>Obama should grow up and take his job seriously. For instance, he should hire a Treasury department, if the money thing is important to him. He should discuss things with his people--like Geithner and the global currency thing. <BR/><BR/>He should stop blaming Bush for "big deficits" when he's planning on tripling it. <BR/><BR/>Biggest suggestion I see--don't spend so much money. Pick something you can handle, and do that. <BR/><BR/>If he wants to stimulate the economy, don't take people's money away in taxes--let them have morre money, and know that they will have it, and watch them spend it. I think that's called the "velocity" of money. A good thing.<BR/><BR/>More advice--keep your freaking promise for a middle class tax cut. Although very view actually believed he would do it, we thought maybe he'd have the decency to pretend to do it. Liar.<BR/><BR/>Maybe he could check with some people who have actually run something besides a campaign on how to run a large operation. <BR/><BR/>And maybe check and see if visiting heads of state should get something better than a package of videos picked up at Wal-Mart.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure there's more, but Obama can start on those ideas and we'll see how he does. Have him check back for more projects when he's ready.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-72940236590264576042009-03-25T21:36:00.000-07:002009-03-25T21:36:00.000-07:00Yeah, hilltop=anonymous in their unfocused reactio...Yeah, hilltop=anonymous in their unfocused reactionary emptiness.

He's laughing because he can say that it's all Bush's fault for making the deficit big, then he can triple the deficit and the press and the Dems don't call him on it. He laughs because he ran on the promise of a middle class tax cut that he knows will never happen. <BR/><BR/>He laughs because he has made fools of his believers. And yet they keep on believing. If it was some other country I'd probably be laughing too. But I know that my grandkids, and probably their grandkids will be paying off Obama's folly.

That's what the GOP reminds me of- pp drunk on criticism, inebriated with complaints, sh*t-faced from anger & frustration. In the best workplaces, negaholics are encouraged to change. If they can't, they're either fired or excluded from decision making activities and left alone to grumble & mumble while the rest of the company moves forward.
