politcal reasons, but he removes all doubt by the hour that we must oppose most of his policies.

In the course of two days the true Obama has shown his self to world. This is the Obama I doubted 18 months ago and I was right. Obama is in retreat and is ready for defeat. What purpose does closing Gitmo accomplish? All he is doing is rewarding his leftist base with goodies. Closing Gitmo will be a HUGE mistake. Of course Obama will never admit it will be a mistake if even 20,000 or 200,000 Americans ge killed because of it. He is rewarding bad behavior and has a flawed decision making process that will make America a poorer and more dangerous place to live.

In case you hadn’t noticed, the new president has a majority in both houses of congress. They’ve taken control during an economic crisis that *they* caused (can you say “Reichstag Fire”?), they’ve already used that crisis to nationalize the banking and auto industries, and they have the health care and energy industries in their sights. The new president is on record as saying that the Warren court failed because it didn’t ignore the constitution and institute redistribution of property, that the constitution itself is flawed because it doesn’t enumerate entitlements, and that we need a new Declaration of Independence. He wants to create a “domestic security force” for unstated reasons. He’s pledged to halt all weapons development, surrender in a war that we’re winning, provide foreign terrorists with Miranda rights, and negotiate with people who believe God will reward them in the next life for killing us. In a few weeks he’s hoping to sign a bill that will give corrupt unions free reign to intimidate workers, and another that will take away the rights of health care providers to refuse to perform abortions.

In the midst of this, the press has been acting like a 12 year-old girl at a Hanna Montana concert, the one person who asked the candidate a difficult question was investigated by several government agencies, and there’s a cult of personality that would make the “president” of North Korea blush.

And now you have the nerve to tell the “loyal opposition” that WE are the ones who are a danger to the country?

Screw that. There’s not a single policy this president has that I want to see succeed. If I have my way come 2012, the only presidential accomplishment he’ll be able to claim will be that he’s never been seen in public with mismatched socks. But even that will be a boost to his resume; it’s the longest he’ll have ever held a job.

President Skroob: Ahhhhh, Planet Druidia and 10,000 years of fresh air.
Dark Helmet (as an aside to Colonel Sandurz): “The way he runs things, it won’t last a hundred.”

…and slowly back away. Keep those hands out where we can see them.

The new President deserves to be treated just like the out going President was treated.

This is why the new President needs to focus and do his best. He can’t have griping on his mind. We’ve seen the effects of unnecessary assholery. We can’t suffer it again.

Ar you refering to the legions of leftists who viciously harassed Presiden Bush? The ones who wrote books and plays about his assisination? Theones who relentlessly mocked his family? I didn't think so. They were just trying to help out with teh war effort no doubt.

The Republicans did it in the 1990s, when President Clinton should have been focusing on Iraq and bin Laden. Instead, he was mired in impeachment hearings.

You use clinton as an example? An impeached, disbarred, accused rapist to tar the Republicans as a distraction? WTF is wrong with you? You want us to wish obama success when that very succes is anathema to everything this country was founded upon? Thye man is an avowed leftist with peronal ties to terrorists who openly hate this country. I will respect the office as is my obligation and duty as a citizen - the man is a meglomaniac with a god-complex supported by sycophants who wish to coerce the people of this country to bend to thier vision of utopia. Remember 50 million people voted against obama. Benefit of the doubt? What part of his agenda are you in question about?

Doing so is equivelant to give this guy a free pass. After what he has been trying to pull today, I am not in the mood. Take your “bi-partisan” and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.
