Obama’s polls are high, seems like everyone is pretty satisfied/optomistic about his plans for the country(Minus his non commitment to have the former admin arrested and tried for war crimes) except for the few remaining on the lunatic right (Which is really pretty much anybody on the right at this point).
So my question is, how long before someone takes a shot at him? If my memory of history serves, Kennedy enjoyed this type success/ popularity with the country before he was killed… If Obama is assassinated does the race war really start in this country?

I think he’s taking charge and not fucking around. We all knew he would have a huge mess have what dubya did, but he went right in here and and hasn’t stopped yet. Fuckin’ A. I didn’t like him at first, but seeing as to all that he’s done since day one, I think he really was a great pick.
And as for the shot? We’ve still got our crazies out there i’m sure, but part of me really wants to say “we’re in a different time”. Anything could happen, but I don’t think things are as crazy as they were then. Kinda weird and difficult comparing our economy and iraq to the cold war and everything and anything else that happened then. Both dark times if you ask me. Incoherent rant time I guess…need sleep.
If obama were to have the former administration put on trial for was crimes i think that would basically take front row to anything else this administration would do, and although i think they should be put on trial, we really got to get our country’s shit together first.
I mean what would you rather have, bush and chaney in jail, which would be probably just some cuchy resort situation anyway, or the roof over your head, social security working so you can retire and job security? It’s a tough market out there right now. I mean, the banks are totally fucked up now. To the point where like, PNC bank for example where my mom worked untill recently, they are firing all the old empleyees (old as in ones who’ve been there a while not as in old aged) who are full timers with benefits, and are just hiring a series of part timers who don’t get all the benefits and whatnot.
obama is bustin’ his ass. calmly. if he can’t fix (to some extent) the mess going on, well, noone can.
as i’ve mentioned previously (maybe it wasn’t here) he’s probably got more security than the popemobile at this point.
Wow, after seeing that youtube compilation of Fox criticism of Obama I’m floored. Its completely insane how afraid of anything ‘socialist’ these guys are. I was born and raised in a communist country and even I don’t have such an attitude.

Incredible!
You shouldn’t expect any less from Fox. The funny thing to me is that the Repubs lost control because of their ridiculous radical right wing agenda and now they think the way to gain back support is to become even MORE right wing! these people are just plain stupid! so much so that they think Stephen Colbert is not Kidding on his show!!!

Whether you like Cobert or not (I don’t personally care for the guy) this is one reason too NEVER vote for a Repub again (if you ever did) If you’re too stupid to know when you’re being mocked you don’t deserve to have any spot of leadership!!! IDIOTS!!

If he can’t fix it, then he’ll damn well put a dent in it for the next four years or…gasp…the next republican president. If he keeps up what he’s doing though, he’ll surely be re-elected.
And why do people even give Fox News the time of day. They’re a mockery of news, and a puppet to the right - might as well listen to limbaugh… Same thing just less portioned throughout the course of a day and week.
Fox News - 24/7 Right-Wing Bullshit
Limbaugh - Few hours a weekday of psycho right-wing bullshit.
Personally, the country would be a better place without either and I truly believe that. But Limbaugh IS a good stepping stone though, just look at Al Franken. Years ago, he wrote a book called “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot”, and now he’s a senator (I think?). So who the fuck knows anymore?
I love how in that video someone compares Obama’s presidency to the rise of Hitler [laugh] If only Godwin’s Law could be imposed on those douchebags.
Also that underwear skidmark Sean Hannity’s claim that if you have a Ron Paul bumpersticker you are considered a radical by the current administration. Hello… since when did Fox News ever give Ron Paul the time of day.

Hannity was put in check by his own fan base by not supporting Ron Paul or even Inviting him to one of the debates hosted by FOX. If I remember correctly they ran after him like Angry mobs are supposed to do!

I’ve noticed many governments simply not getting the message with this recession. They simply can’t see through their own bullshit. They still decry regulation and some countries have nationalised banks, effectively rewarding the bankers for fucking around with people’s money. There are layers upon layers of shit that need to unearthed before there can be sufficient change. It’s not just a case of fixing a few screws, there is a new philosophy needed on a macro scale. The Irish and UK gov.s are just floundering about at the moment looking for a quick fix. Assholes.
Franken has not officially been seated yet. However, it is expected any day now.
The MN court ruled that Franken won by 312 votes.
I wouldn’t hold my breath with how hard party line Pawlenty is. Why is he stalling? All he has to do is sign the certificate but he hasn’t.
