Poor Skip he has been so Bitter  this past month.,, He changed his name,, he is moving out of state., His prized DVD's are all boxed up., His republican croonies didn't get in last November.,, and he is getting red zingers every other day...   

  just kidding.        try and get in the mood.. 

It seems to me that the trouble with President Obama is that he has been chosen mainly, or at least partly, because Americans were tired with his predecessor, rather than because of Obama's own qualities.
By the way, the same happens all the time in my own country, Italy: we vote for the Right because we are fed up with the Left, but later on we vote for the Left because we are tired with the Right, and so on!
Back to Obama: I can understand the skeptics, but isn't he the lesser evil?

I really don't understand all this excitement.  The man hasn't done a thing yet. 

His comprehensive policy agenda can now be found here.

That is his agenda...a list of what he wants to do.  While a nice read, it still doesn't change the fact that he hasn't done a thing yet.

...

My point? "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry."  You guys can get as excited as you want.  Me, I will hold my applause until he actualy gets something done.

I absolutely agree with that, but of course you can't expect him to have built up a presidential track record after being barely two days in office. No president, prime minister or whoever is leading a government can be judged in fairness after such a short time. You can't say he has no ideas or plans or that he hides them from the nation though.

Well, deejay, he had no track record going into the election, why should he have one now? But I wish him well anyway, but I will be wtching his every move, which so far I have found quite amusing and predictable.

Ïf "predictable" equals "doing as he promised during his campaign", I would find it hard to object, because that's what US citizens voted on.
Would be a first though: a politician doing what he said he'd do...     

It would be a first since "predictable" usually means doing just about the opposite of what was promised in the campaign.

I must not visit these boards often enough.  I totally missed the name change and had no idea he had to move.  Hopefully it's voluntary because moving sucks.

I know what you mean.
We just got rid of our democrat governor, she got her reward from Obama.
She ignore all request to look into voter fraud. Her hero is Janet Reno.
Janet Reno was given video tape proof if video fraud and ignored it.
She is now Secretary Napolitano Issues First Directives on Protection protecting our borders.
As a lawyer as usual, she didn't know what illegal meant until public option decided that she should find out. As a typical democrat she run up a lot budget deficits before she left. And shis is going to protect our borders. You can expect a white wash from her.

Why would my tax dollars be going to a foreign abortion group for in the first place?

"It is also known as the "global gag rule," because it prohibits taxpayer funding for groups that even talk about abortion if there is an unplanned pregnancy."

That explaned it to me. I dont think your tax money goes to any pro abortion groups abroad.
