And, reactions to Obama's speech today are .... ??

The best compliment he can get from the conservatives on here is silence.

I think Republicans had better get used to the idea of 8 years of Obama. All indications from economists on both sides of the political spectrum are we will be emerging from the recession in the 4th quarter of 2009 or 1st quarter of 2010. With the general lag of unemployment related to the end of a recession things should start blossoming again just in time for 2012. Any rising Republican star at that point would be far better served to wait until 2016 since Obama will get credit for taking us out of the recession whether or not his policies had anything to do with it and will almost certainly win re-election.

if we listen to them we will be busto , no one can tell where we will be 1yr from now , let alone 2 or 3 , these are all subjective opinions with imperfect imputs

knowing what we know now , don't you think hillary should have run in '04 ?
i mean a stiff almost won , she has shown to be better than him and GW was beatable in '04 , bubba and hill overthought and got bit by the rising star from chicago ....... whether or not the star is still shining in 3 yrs is anyone's guess

Especially after Muslims gave him the standing O, and terrorists spouted hate against him.

I'm counting on a few moans over Obama quoting the Quran, and at least one "I still think he's secretly a Muslim terrorist" thing again .... :rolleyes:

:{>: We will see. Im wondering if I will be conservative by then.:zz:

"pickle kisser" has found a permanent place in my personal lexicon. Thank you forever!

uhhhhhh...

He read from a telepromter?

Certainly the Republican side can come up
with something. If not, I will play the role.

who invented the pen?

who invented spires and arches?

should have gone to public schools I guess cause we we're taught the Romans had spires and arches and Guttenburg invented the pen? Of course I guess it could have been Muhamad Guttenburg but I'm not sure anymore?

Sir Chas Barkley/Fitty Cent

Condi Sec of State and Powell guest judge on Dancing with the Stars

alrighty then...

Wait till Obama runs up against the Israeli card.
Wait till he tries to make peace with the Muslim
world with Benjamin Netanyahu hanging on him.
Nothing has actually been accomplished yet.

Except we keep using predator drones to take
out extremists along with innocent civilians in
Pakistan. Just like GW. He is following the GW
game plan, cept GW did all the dirty work.

w/o the BS and a illegal aunt he disowned

and this was a worthless thread?
LMAO

You never know the twists and turns
these threads take.

What has Obama actually done differently than
the Bush administration from a foreign policy point
of view? He has SAID we will not be arrogant and
we will talk with all parties.

Basically nothing
has changed in Iraq, except that the Demo's
still will not admit the surge and subsequent
letting the Iraqis handle it has worked.

And we are going to get more intrusive in
Afghanistan and Pakistan.

So what exactly is diff? We got the same
director of the FBI, and Robert Gates stays.
The world is going to start asking this question
when we meet reality. When something actually
has to be done. Talk is cheap.

Heck, we are actually on worse terms with N.Korea.

That's all fine and dandy until gas goes over $3.25 a gallon. Getting close.

Didn't it go over $4.00 forever under Bush?

sure it was alwyas 4.00 under bush the entire 8 yrs , yup another dem who is never wrong:eek: :eek:

And isn't it odd that gas started to spike right around the time the dumbocrats got control of congress?

Both sides are wrong to play the gas card...I think oil costs are determined by people who could really care less whether a DEm or Repub is in office.

Why can't we just blame the failed Bush/Cheney economic policies, Bush's Texas oil cronies and Halliburton :rolleyes:
