5. Seriously... Do You Think You Can Maintain This Level Of Positivityness For 14 Months ???
The only way for this President to turn it around, is to make some of us believers again.

I do not blindly follow ANYBODY.

Plus... he works for us, not the other way around.

11. We Have This Thing Called A "Representative Govenrment"...
Took many wars and millions dead to get there, but the promise/premise is, that the Citizen of The United States of America is the "Sovereign".

"We the People..."

EVERY ONE in elected office works for us, is paid by us, is SUPPOSED TO THINK OF US (besides election season)...

At least that's the way it used to ber... maybe...

:shrug:

And BTW... the President really is, on "normal occasion", supposed to work for ALL of us... although that is seeming more and more quaint by the moment.

:shrug:

24. So you are including all of us
The center, the right, even the tea party. Not just the disappointed left. Nice to know.

12. Might I suggest a poli sci 101 course?
One that emphasizes THE FEDERAL SYSTEM...

and the THEORY of US government?

No, I will not tell you how it works... after all I am ignorant and all... so they tell me... but you should.

On edit I withdraw my statement. I do believe I misread Treestar's meaning above. As you were.

Shouldn't that be on your blog, instead of here?

21. I consider the alternative ...
... which is a bat shit crazy lunatic who might just get us into nuclear war, or at least a couple more full on wars, like with Iran, Korea, maybe even Bolivia and Venezuela.

Yeah, I can blindly support and vote for and even donate to Obama's campaign--and I'm on unemployment, for at least a little while longer.

Positive for 14 months? Hell, I'm positive that, under the best of circumstances, like Obama wins re-election, turns left, gets a Democratic majority in the House, and either 60 solid votes in the Senate or a spine for Harry Reid, we're going to sink a whole lot further before things get any better, and I'm positive that we're in for years of bad times, maybe even a decade. But, at least we'll have a country, and a world, and a civilization, and a chance.

17. Talking Heads
You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Leting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
You may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
You may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, look where my hand was

Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, hey let's all twist our thumbs
Here comes the twister

Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Once in a lifetime
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by

10. Yes, we lost Archie Bunkers district in "F-ing" Howard Beach
and the conservative side in Queens. The turnout was very low which helps, guess who? Wait for it... Repukes, of course :eyes:

14. If my kids were hungry and someone offered to pay me to post
on websites like this, I would probably do it also. Think about it before you take the flame bait and go off on someone. It's not good for your own blood pressure and it may be the only job they can get. I'm not posting on threads where the OP has a piddly amount of posts. Just not worth it.

19. Probably because you dedicated a thread to stating you won't be supporting the President.
Maybe that's it. Who knows.

23. Anthony Weiner's seat going to the GOP might be a good thing.
Once the guy starts voting against the interests of the people who put him there, perhaps they'll come to their senses. Would be funny to see a recall election happen there in 6 months.
