No, it won't. Relax, brother.

We'll all get through this sh*t and be better off. Some of the Obama things you think are onerous were dreamed up to help out. At least someone's doing something, right? If it don't work, you and I and America will change it.

Have faith in your nation instead of hating the President.

You'll be fine.

It's really odd how much mainejetf and Cap'n Cat sound exactly like Tman and AZ from a year or two ago as far as defending their team goes at least. :lol:

Two totally different sitchies. Tman and Z were defending a fuck up who was in year 6 or 7 of utter failure. Obama has been president for 6 months and inherited a country in shambles, primarilly due to the failure of policies and values held by Z and Tman - greed, violence and blind support of free markets.
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

The defense and the attacks from the other side all have the same tone and you can make any excuse you want as to the why's and how's but all that has happened is the quarter ended and the team is now defending the other goal line. Just pointing it out D as I like watching the debate and the "this is our guy so we'll defend whatever he is or isn't doing" mentality of it all.

I can't help but feel he is a Monday morning QB. He doesn't say anything until the event is over. Then he chimes in like he knew it the whole time. I don't think he has the experience, so he is keeping quiet.

The best way to describe him, is that he votes, "present" on everything.

You assumption...incorrect as it usually is..is that I'm a republican...

Could not be further from the truth...

I've voted for more democrats in my life than republicans...but as the democrats have moved further and further to the left (at least the base has)...I no longer can support them...

In fact, if the democrats had put up a halfway decent candidate in 2000 or 2004, I would not have had to hold my nose in the ballot booth...

I don't disagree with you that, today, the republicans have little to no viable candidates...but at this point four years ago, who would have thought we'd be saying President Obama today...

There's plenty of time..... :coffee:

Powell endorsed a man for President who he has no shared political ideals with. What did he think would happen? I think Powell needs to step out of the political spotlight for a while. He really is losing whatever credibility he had left. There is no doubt he has a lot to offer society, but politics is no longer his arena.
I like this comment. Exactly. What did he THINK was going to happen? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Bullshit, Z and Alfie.

You're gonna tell us that Powell has so little integrity and intelligence that he can't possibly see potential and value in someone like Barack Obama. That is the ultimate in disrespect....to anyone.
