Chad was the first liberal in Florida to call for a recount after the 2000 election.......

That's pretty much why my two youngest adult children and my spouse who are all students right now aren't getting government handouts...because they're mine, they live with me, and I have a job.  OH, that reminds me!  The kids have a friend who goes to college with them who is  getting everything paid for by the government because her deceased father's veteran benefits--and she also gets food stamps!  She encouraged my kids to check out what they could get (would be nice to have someone help out with all this responsibility I'm presently carrying), but they were told by the welfare office if they were full-time college students, they had to be working at least 30 hours a week on top of going to school full time to qualify for any benefits (my youngest has a part-time job but it's only 20 hours a week).

I guess we're just not savvy enough to know how to play the system.

What the hell is wrong with you people!! You are acting like this guy actually IS a messiah. He's a mortal man. He's a politician, and like all politicians.. he is a liar. If you think for one minute that this man actually wrote all of his speeches himself and that what he has been saying are his own words then I really feel sorry for you. He spent an enormous amount of (largely unaccounted for) money hiring the best script writers, producers etc that could present this false image in a believable manner. This money also allowed him to manipulate the media in ways that have never been done before and bury most things that warranted serious investigation. If those same allegations had been made against any other candidate you can bet the media's behavior would have been much different.

This man is not at all who he represents himself to be. Only time is going to tell the tale though, but in the meantime stop kissing his ass. He has done NOTHING do deserve glorification. NOTHING at any time in his career. The only thing hes accomplished is run one of the most successfull off broadway productions in history.

Phoon, yes, he's a cipher.

Put yer $ in a mattress or bury it, get a bad dog & all the guns you can b4 there ain't any

Maybe we should talk about something less polarizing and divisive...

How about religion?

Obama needs to acknowedge reality, erring on the side of overstating the problems and challenges, and he needs to prepare the country for several tough years. Because if he doesn't, within six months of his taking office, the country will have forgotten all about the prior administration and will instead be blaming everything on him.

THANK YOU!!!!

its about time someone said it.

and everyone out there who subscribes to the "you don't like him because he's black" mantra.

Close your eyes, pretend you never saw his face. Look at what he has done in the past, who he associates with, his personal beliefs(you don't spend over 20 years within a church and not profess to believe the words spoken there), what his goals are, and what his vice president is known for.

Now tell me, is this the "great man?" everyone is worshiping? I would be proud to vote for a president , black, white, red, yellow or indigo for that matter , who truly had the people (all the people not just the ones who can further his goals) and their well being at heart. I haven't seen one of these men in my lifetime. I doubt I will. I have begun to believe they only exist in fairy tales and seminaries.

I worry for my self, and my family. None of us makes more than36k a year most make much less. None of us had the advantage of college as it was not affordable and we didn't qualify for assistance(that lovely line between poverty and middle class we all sit upon.) I worry for the nation as a whole. We're suffering now and the suffering's going to get worse long before it gets better. Our "esteemed" president elect has little experience and lofty goals, combined with scary friends and unknown alliances.

I pray (ya I really do that.) that things will work out for the better and suddenly someone will twang our president elect on the head and make him a fairy prince to rescue us. But despite my prayers, I am a realist still at heart ,and know that spotted animals rarely turn plain.

I didn't support him when he was campaigning , and I don't support his ideas and plans, as I can see no good coming of them. But for good or bad , I am stuck with him and will live under his puppet rule as I have lived under the puppet rule of each president before him. I expect him to be just as much an impetuous ruler as the last one was, just in a different direction. I wonder if congress can control this one any better than they did the last, or the one before him , or the one before him, or the one before him....

It isn't in the left's dictionary.

Thats all well and good, but hope only gets you so far, then reality kicks in.

I 'hope' he does well. I really do.

What about the conservatives hell bent on dismantling the new administration,  no matter how well they do,  as it is their only chance at reviving their party?

Phoon, there is nothing wrong with me. I am not one who believes in your Messiah, so it can't be that either. If he has lied, then prove it. Or, maybe just take some rage controlling chem and chill. For some odd reason you sound like someone unhappy with the result of the election. If so, either get over it, or live somewhere else. How do you know how his speeches are written? Are they any less valid?

Yeah....some anger management should help...but maybe not. You have an alternative: "America: Love it or Leave it"

Remember that quote? Remember who used it? Well....if the shoe fits....or, if it doesn't .... use it for taking a walk.

@ seldomseen: To bad it isn't also seldom heard.

@N.T.  

but if given tax breaks for hiring, it could work. I concede to your business knowledge but I believe that he needs to undo NAFTA to bring back the middle class.
