Seriously, all the folks he’s appointing seem to be to the Right of him, where’s the left point of view represented? We (the Left wing of the Democratic party) did, after all, bust our humps foot-soldiering to get him elected.

There is the War Party, and the War Party has no political affiliation, it just likes Perpetual War. IMO, the Left was suckered into an antiwar vote. Oh, throw in taxpayer extortion, surveillance, oil drilling, and gay marriage, and basically, there isn’t much of a difference between Bush and Obama. But, we have to wait and see after January 20. The question is, will Obama supporters be as critical of him IF he continues, albeit will a Left twist, the policies of the Neocons?

And I agree with you at #14 too.
Let’s let Obama get in office and start making his moves — THEN we will see if there is cause for concern. As of now, I think he has been nearly faultless in his post-election moves (I am crossing my fingers on Hillary), as he has preempted legitimate criticism from the right.
Obama is a smart guy – we are not used to seeing smart in the White House – we need to give him his due.

seems to me that government made this mess, it’ll take a better government to clean it up…

i thought tory ? was a “good guy”… i must be mistaken…

just a thought…

Ignorant egomanical megalomaniac republicans/conservatives are a total disaster to have in any position of responsibility.

Except that he hasn’t made that many picks, and I think that the right is relieved that he is picking Moderates rather than far-left-wingers, as they were all predicting he would do.

I realize that we’re about to have a civil war following our Revolution – it’s to be expected, but I hope that we liberals will do the very thing we criticized the Bush Regime for not doing – assuming innocent until proven guilty, rather than the other way around.

Let’s give him a chance to first be sworn in, and then do something before we get upset. We often waste too much of our lives worrying about things that never happen.

Let’s just give the guy a chance to lead first. If he screws it up, I promise to be right ther with you condemning him and holding him accountable. Okay?

My hope is that with a President who is a very liberal “Buddhist style” Christian, rather than a psycho Christonazi like Bush, than more religious people in this country will develop tolerance for others and that Christianity in general will become more about love and peace than its tradition of O.T. divide and conquer bullsh!t that Bush and his followers have used to divide this country and sow so much hatred.

Perhaps some day even the word ‘godless’ will cease to be an epithet…

This has to tell you something

It tells me that Obama, shrewd politician that he is, has INSULATED himself from a lot of Partisan Attacks.

Such Attacks made Pres. Clinton’s first term Very difficult.

The Left, the progressives have been making excuses to console themselves.

This has to tell you something

Who do you think he should include that he hasn’t?

He still does have a lot of positions left to fill. He’s only announced a very select few at this point. The rest are still speculation until he announces it himself.

Conservatism must be ideological, but it simply cannot exist the minute it recognizes or accepts reality.

Liberalism has it’s ideals, but only to serve as a guide to pragmatism. The more you accept the reality in which you live, the more liberal your point of view inherently becomes, and as a result – more practical.

Hopefully Obama’s Administration will be the beginning of a long liberal-handed approach to government in the United States.

After all, The Truth is in the Bible, and everything else is the Devil’s Heresy.

While the media are touting the “change” meme, they will always use Bush as the incompetance lodestone to judge Obama’s progress. It’s handy, to have such an incompetent so fresh in the public’s memory. No stale comparisons to Hoover and Harding, who few of the public remember. If Obama has a good first term, Bush’s incompetance will be historically bracketed between two successful democratic leaders – and his presidency will even more resemble a shit-heeled skidmark.

i guess it’s true- you learn something new everyday. I didn’t know idiocy and cronysm were ideologies. who woulda thunk?
