  1. “I don’t think he actually believes anyway.”

    ditto, I wouldn’t be surprised if that is true, although we have nothing to base it on. Unfortunately, I don’t think anyone would ever get elected without at least pretending to be a “believer”.

  2. I guess benson hasn’t gotten the point of why Obama is so popular. It’s because his beloved GOP has taken us so far off course, done so much dmage to us that we would have elected and lauded a goldfish if we beleived it could get us to change the path we are on. I find it really interesting that rather than try to focus on change and making things better you’d rather start putting the new President down.

    I’ll be enjoying “American Idol” profoundly- especially after 8 years of enduring “American Asshole.”

  3. cobblehiller, thanks again. I managed to watch the inauguration from 11:30 to 12:30. I’ll listen again later to his speech as I missed certain parts. What I heard was very impressive. Let’s hope he can accomplish at least a fraction of what he hopes.

    mopar, as a “non-believer” (sounds so evil), I was happy to be included in the speech. My only gripe is the lack of separation of church and state in the proceedings. I can understand mentioning in the speech the need for people of different religions and “non-believers” to come together, but, other than that, I would prefer it stay out of inaugurations, speeches, etc.

    You better order some butt plugs!

    U.S. Stocks Fall on Profit Concern; State Street, Wells Tumble

    State Street Corp., the largest money manager for institutions, tumbled 47 percent after unrealized bond losses almost doubled. Wells Fargo & Co. declined 13 percent following an analyst’s prediction that the bank will cut its dividend. As Barack Obama’s presidency begins, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index extended its retreat since Election Day to 14 percent.

    Hey what happen to the “Obama bounce”? If you have any money in a Mutual Fund or Money Market account, I think you better pick up the phone now.

    I think this MAB turn real bad, real fast! I thought the would be a break but there are no more lithium crystals to power the Anti-Gravity machine..
