“Man, I’m glad I asked Obama supporters to let me know what he stands for!!! Forthright answers!!!!! I’m glad you “supported” him.”
I guess we’re waiting for you to tell us again why it didn’t bother you that Palin has no knowledge of foreign affairs. Learn to read benson. Obama talks about what he wants to do. YOu simply don’t want to accept it.
DIBS, I didn’t expect him to appoint Republicans but his whole platform on the campaign trail was “change” and not “DC politics as usual”.
His list of appointees is exactly “DC politics as usual”, nothing new about it.
If he was really about change why didn’t he bring in people outside the Democratic party inner circle?
And no, I wont give him 24 hours. He was elected months ago and all I’ve heard since the election is how great he is and will be, how smart his cabinet choices are, etc. His loyal legions of fans have been touting him for months, why should I wait to disagree?
benson- I have neither the interest nor the wherewithal to debate Obama’s policies with you. You may not be impressed- that doesn’t worry me, but it does surprise me that you seem to think there is nothing impressive in how a junior senator and near unknown came out of nowhere and got elected president. But then again, you were impressed with Palin, so that speaks volumes, doesn’t it?
YOu can either put it down to all of us who put him in office as morons or to the errors of the McCain campaign. Mistakes on your part as is the idea that we should simply forget the last 8 years in understanding this election.
I ask OBAMA’s supporters to let me know what he stands for. All I’m told is that a) he is not Bush or the GOP and b) please be patient and watch as he unfolds the answer.
Are these responses for real?? I didn’t realize that electing a president was akin to going on a blind date. I’ve been educated.
Man, I’m glad I asked Obama supporters to let me know what he stands for!!! Forthright answers!!!!! I’m glad you “supported” him.
I think the man will answer you himself if you can manage to both wait and pay attention.
The time for speculation and debate has ended. Now is a time for doing, and I believe it should be pretty clear what his policies are over the coming months, and whether or not they are successful will become more apparent over the next few years.
If you are uncomfortable that you don’t have a better sense of these things now, well, I’m afraid you’ll just have to hope for the best and try not to twitch too much while you wait.
By the way, did anyone else get the urge to start humming “ding dong the witch is dead” as Cheney left the scene?
Maybe we should give him a day in office to begin to undo all the damage of the last 8 years before we start bitching about his policies. If you didn’t vote (and I can’t recall saying anything to you personally about it) then I won’t even waste my time explaining it. Yes, its your right to abstain. You opted out of the process. Where’s the honor it that? It just means you didn’t use the privilege of your vote (you could have written in Mickey Mouse or Garfield if you really wanted to make a statement) I wouldn’t take pride in not voting.
Benson, first of all, I was throwing off a few musings for a blog, not writing a speech meant to be deconstructed by anyone. I stand by my statement, as well as my reasonings, as mentioned above. If you want to insist that this was an unfair indictment of Bush, I can’t stop you. Death and suffering is not lessened by who is doing it, or by the administration involved.
Seems to me, if 9/11, Katrina, the tsunami, the Chinese earthquake, famine, disease and war, are not big enough to be of Biblical proportions, I don’t want to be around for what is. Obviously, Bush is not responsible for a tsunami, but it did take place during the last 8 years, so I include it in my thinking. The point was that there has been too much death, I’m praying that there is much less in the next 8 years. I don’t see how anyone can argue with that.

Oh, Benson, you are like a bratty child, asking “Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” when the car is only pulling out of the driveway.
Ah, I thought he said ‘sweating on the pen’ DIBS!
I can’t find anything on the douments…googling.

These responses are so incredible.
