Gee Jae, if you didn't want folks to comment on your inane posts maybe you shouldn't post them on an open message board, or are you looking for some special exemption from the scrutiny we all deal with?

That's all you'll have left when Obama gets done with you.

Well, that and your welfare check.

You mean Obama's NOT going to FIX everything?

WOW! Some people are really confused.

Please tell me your not saying that...
The president has NO CONTROL over these issues! Kinda like you can't torture prisoners thats out of his control. Invade my privacy (Patriot act) thats out of his control (keep a war going that has about a 30% approval rating (thats out of his control) lie to get us into this war..........This guy IS OUT OF CONTROL and his minnie me is beotching and whining like a lil pup. To see a grown man act like this McCain should be ashamed of himself.

No, it didn't happen in the last year--it happened in the last two years--since the Democrats got a majority.

Actually, the economic slump dates back to Carter and Community Re-investment Act. The CRA laid low because the banks didn't really think it said what it said, but the Dems, with help from Clinton, pushed the banks to write bad paper. The conditions of the bad loans are just now coming to fruition as the increased payments are kicking in (well, for the last year it has been happening), but today we're seeing the brunt of it all.

I agree the Bush hasn't been the best of leaders, but the liberal left blames him for all that has happened--it really wsn't his fault. Congress truly is the culprit, but they have done a masterful job of deflecting blame away from themselves to whom ever may sit in the Presidential chair.

History has shown that, as a general rule, what transpires during president's term in office is the result of the last presidents term.

Some presidents have been rather bland while in office (Carter would be one) and had no effect on the ensuing president's tenure. Clinton had "inherited" problems from Bush I, so he was not totally to blame for his time in office (Monica was his own doing, though). I rather though Clinton did a reasonably good job, even with Hillary breathing down his neck.

Bush II was saddled with some of Clinton's doings, or lack thereof, and Obama (I'm sure he will be elected) will suffer from Bush's term. Obama will leave a legacy that the next president will have to straighten out. It seems as though no president leaves a good legacy for the next guy--it's always a mess that needs to be cleaned up.

Michael My name is Russell Hensel and I live in SW Florida on an island called Sanibel. I offer you this wager. I bet you $500 that the US will be better off in 2 years than you are now. If you decide to take this wager we can send the money to a unbiased 3rd party person to hold until the end of the two years.

Joey, I hope you'll invite us all to your 13th birthday--it should be a lot of fun.

Jae my friend many are saying it was the deregulation of the Regan years that has caused the majority of our problems...

Well that an interesting proposal but I seriously doubt an agreed upon third party judge could be found to validate the winner. No thanks.

Let's chat in 2 years.

We're in for a very rough ride no matter who wins.

Fair enough

You might want to check with the politcial science professors at the nearest university.

"Many [who] are saying" -- I would suppose you're referring to TV and radio newscasters? If so, ahem...hack-cough....

..or newspaper reporters...who never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.

Most of the knowledgeable people who gives us our daily dose of information in the news seem to have an agenda--whether its Rush Limburger or Charles Gibbon, Hannity or Colmes, Nancy Grace or Megan Kelly (man, she's purdy)...

But I wouldn't put too much stock in what they, or anyone else, have to say.

Studying history, though, is more interesting and accurate--and is usually better based in fact--20/20 hindsight, you know.

Would that it were, would that it were. From your lips to gods ear.

Still that complement doesn't erase the fact that most of your posts are pointless, confusing and lack the grammatical style of an educated person, which is why you unfortunately receive the responses you do.

You mistake my grasp for your "gasp"...but I understand your vitrol is indicative of the left position--so I'm not dismayed by your response.

"like I had to deal with Boy George at the helm of the USS Minnow."

That, I simply do not understand. Boy George was never at the helm of the USS Minnow. Are you familiar with the USS Minnow?

You support neither candidate?..All of your posts dounds kinda righty to me
