A glimmer of hope

IF ELECTED, OBAMA WILL BE MY PRESIDENT. This from a site self style "Rightwing Nuthouse". That they will jump on board after the election. Some would call that mymidionism. Slavish, blindly following the leader. Not so. Eight years of derision, scorn and abject hatred for George Bush has not just belittled the man but the office. That's what I think the Bush haters miss. The GOP did the same during the Clinton years. They railed against the man so much it damaged the office of the President. This is not good by any measure. I, like them, will support the duly elected leader. I may not like him or his policies and will raise a voice against them but I will not go all BDS like DU and their ilk. I urge Obama supporters to do the same if when he loses.

Great article. I may hate Obama's policies but I don't hate the man. I may not love the guy but I certainly don't hate him. If he becomes President I'll be happy for him and for the historical significance of it while at the same time hoping he doesn't do too much damage over the next 4 years.

Quite frankly I've never understood the incredible, vitriolic hatred of GWB by the left. Bush = The Devil and blaming him for everything imaginable has gotten pretty old. that and I don't understand how folks can so openly wish harm upon him. You may not like his policies but this is another human being with a family that we're talking about.

Obama will be my president too, if elected. I always hated folks who said Clinton "wasn't their president" and same w/Bush. Very disrespectful of the man and office.

I think you mean myrmidonism. Excellent word and because of seeing it here I will try to spice it into my conversations today.

George Bush is my president, I also disagree with much that he has done. That's the great thing about this country, you are allowed to do that. And then you can vote to change ti as well. Hard as it is I try to respect the office even if I disagree with the office holder.

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
