I'm sure its safe to assume you are one of those
Do you not remember the last few years of Bush's Presidency?
You guys couldn't bash him fast enough to satisfy your want of his blood so you guys continue to do so.
The shoe is on the other foot
and you start crying
The man has spent more money then the cost of Iraq, Afghanistan and Katrina combined
you want us to ligten up on him?
I'm keeping a close eye on him.

I knew you would deny being part of the Bush stole the election crowd. Even said so in my post, I see you chose to not include it though.
5.3 trillion in 8 years. Thats pretty bad, I admit it.
How much has Obama spent in 50 days?
But as long as he says its to fix the economy that he inherited its okay, right?
Everyday that Obama speaks it just makes your defense of him more pathetic
Yes I had my 8 years
you will only have 4.

Yes I had my 8 years and now, God willing, you will only have 4.

Not actually.
But I do find trash like this boring and counterproductive:

You guys crack me up.

Darn people stop wasting time on this bull crap and put those energies toward fixing this mess.
They are running off with the cattle while you are standing around arguing about who left the gate open.

Why is holding this president accountable for his statements and actions not giving him a chance?
I recall PRECISELY the same argument with Bush.... Everyone did give him a "chance"-- twice-- and look at what that bozo did with the nation's support.

In reality.. Yes the Gates are wide open and we are sitting here watching this go ... But what are people going to do ? Essentially nothing .. Actually the biggest thing we are doing atm, is sitting here on the computer voiceing out. Reasonings why? Is because the routes that where kept free for us to do, is infathonable to the normal person ..
Even besides that.. Its self restricted in a numerous of ways .. Do i need to be at work? Do i have anything planned with family? Do i have responsiblities that need to be done on this date? and so forth. Not to mention that to many protesting has been becomeing a negative flavor .. Generic Response to protresters are "Don't these people have anything better to do?" "Don't they have jobs/family?"
And the funny thing is.. even though you know its true and thats how it is .. you find yourself not able to break it.
In respect to obama discussion..
Luckily we have transgressed from a simpleton view on things.. and now more things that we get into have more complexity to them. Storylines, Movies .. Media .. Even things such as Manga.. Hell there are stories in there, that by the time you get to the middle of the series you find information on what has been going in the background the entire time you where reading it, but yet didnt notice and thats just one "piece". Its not just this one directed focus anymore.
And guess what? its not that hard to do.
In case of obama .. Conspiracy or no conspiracy .. You see it. Yes he was thrown in there out of the blue.... Yes at quite possibly the worst time ever ... Yes I believe people do make mistakes ... and not just small ones. BUT when a person takes on a job and makes a mistake They will Stop, try to understand what was done that came to this and ensure to progress better. Normal people do not pick the ball up again and run.. only to fall several times after... Unless its completly deliberate.
Also Keep in Mind.. The President .. Is NOT ALONE! we the people Elect our representatives to congress to voice our concerns and opinions on goverment affairs, it was realised that if our representatives could not come to a final decision that we needed one other option as a medium to ensure that decisions/actions still where made in a fair way.
Obama's situation has infurreated alot of the public. I goto board to board to board and see near the same results. hell even people who are not into politics know whats going on and the ramifications to it. But it still goes ... And not because our congress has nobody in it to voice say.. There have been solid one sided debates from men on our congress to this administration on better ways .. but this is visually shunned and ignored. and to a point where our own congress memebers are openingly makeing private groups to strengthen thier stance.

You know SG, have you considered that maybe just maybe, some of these "fringers" were some of those who gave Bush his shot. Gave him his "chance" without taking notice or just plain ignoring some possible warning signs that he was going in the wrong direction.
Has everyone forgotten that most of this was money dumped in his lap after Bush rammed the bail-out bill through Congress just before leaving office?
Warning signs? President Obama, may I remind you, came into the worst economic crises since the depression and already the fringers proclaimed his term a faliure since before he even took the oath to office. Its been two months powerslave, two months.

Some people don't see past the ballot that they used to vote the guy in.
A little advice. Use the ignore button on him/her. Your not going to get a debate out of him. Just hit it now.
