1. He can speak English
2. His calm demeanor
3. His idea of inclusiveness
4. His intellectual capacity
5. His recognition that our country has to change the way we do certain things

That is exactly what you Obama people have been doing since he took office. Being good little sheep. All of the promises that he spouted to you and not a one has come true. GO OBAMA.

I voted for a black man for high office (U.S. Senate), and he won, before you were born...I've hoped a black man would be elected to office before I died...
But I never would support a socialist (lets see...take over banks...threathens to fire bank presidents who don't follow his desires...take over car companies...largest increase in social programs ever...wants to FORCE people to take medical insurance...wants to create socialized government run medical care...)

Yeah cause we've seen what happens when you take the white out of New Orleans and that was just in 3 days. I applaud that ability to remain calm and man up in the face of a dilemma.

Homie Don't Play That Game...

Well, you're the only one here, then.
Just playin' with you, Hoagie.
Hey, the Prez will do OK. I'm diggin' the international relations vibe he's got going. The homefront shit is going to be gut-wrenching and will take time. Detractors, like you and T and Z and CatMounter, are a dime a dozen - farts in a wind storm. Bottom line, the guy is no asshole and he's got the best interests of the U.S. in his heart. Give him some slack. Give him time.

The international stuff, he's doing OK by me...but while you may feel he has "the best interests of the U.S. in his heart", I think he's taking us completely in the wrong direction...can't give him an inch of slack on that...sorry...we disagree on this one...
