Those of us who support the current administration don't say much because we have little to complain about.
yep. pretty much.

When Bush was in charge the preponderance of postings were against him, so I believe it has more to do with dissatisfaction with current administrations than anything else.

Those of you who support the current administration don't say much because...it is tough to defend.

Following the leader never did us any good at all. In the 1700's we set the trend for the future. We did not look to Europe or other failed systems, we realized that we needed something new & special if we were going to build a better country than those who we left. It was not easy, there were no guarentees.
But we did it, a bunch of ignorant illiterate second class people took on & bested the superpower of the day. Then we set about buiding something new, something better.
Ah yes, the 1700s, when white men ruled and killed off the natives and enslaved inferior Africans for their own pleasure and gain. I think we should go back to that too.........

Just who was enjoying all that freedom and independence?

And Obama might just be a "bozo". but there's a difference between opposing Obama's policies, and calling for insurrection against the government or making shrill irrational statements about him. Obama is no King George, and this is no American Revolution.
I would certainly never call for insurrection, and I can't believe anyone else would, but there are some plenty crazy nuts on both sides of the isle.
I didn't vote for the man, and I hope he can do something to get the country kick started, but the way he is starting off is a disaster. He seems to be completely lost and in way over his head.
He is definaterly heading our country towards socialism, and possibly worst. If he doesn't change his course soon, I'm afraid we are doomed. Some of these people who continue to heap hero worship on him are going to be sorry when they have to learn to speak Chinese or Aribic..

Not sure what ole Rush really means for BO to fail, but if one man's failure means the saving of our nation, I am all for it. I have no ill will toward Obama, am told he really is a likable fellow. But doesn't make him a good leader; and am, among millions of others, very wary of his seemingly direct tactics to destroy this country. Whether merely a buffoon or diabolical tyrant....time will tell.

Every American should be required to learn one European language (other than English) and one non-European language in school.

It just change with who is president ;its was the same for democrats when Bush was president. If your a democrat it is just uncomfortable as it was for republicans n the past.Same as you start seeing obama the butt of jokes on the TV and elsewhere. Democrats just forgot what it was like;but they will get use to it.
