Given the size of our deficit, what we have put on the cuff, there are not going to be cheap answers and anybody that thinks it's going to be easy hasn't been paying attention. I hope the Republican party rebuilds itself into a truly conservative party which it has been and can be again. It won't happen though if the neocons have their way. <BR/><BR/>Most adults have had affairs *s* Certainly Sarah had and McCain many times over. I don't care what their personal sexual morality is. I care what they bring to the country. I have invested a lot in hoping and working for Obama but Paul and I are both mature adults and have seen a lot in our years. If Obama isn't what we hope, if others squash everything for their partisan goals, it won't surprise me. You just do the best you can with figuring out what is what.<BR/><BR/>and you could comment at my blog also, you know *s* I was curious what your take would be on it given what you had written earlier. None of them are perfect (perfect ones probably get chewed up and spit out before they get started. You have to be tough in that world) nor are they messiahs. We just hope that sometimes some are what they say they are. I believe that about Obama but I've been wrong before...Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-35361532751437484992008-11-05T14:08:00.000-08:002008-11-05T14:08:00.000-08:00Perhaps not as entertaining to live through.

I won't hold my breath.<BR/><BR/>Eight years of admittedly poor management by GWB... some of it mitigated because of world events, and two years of absolute malfeasance by a democrat congress, (including graft that should have Chris Dodd and Barney Frank in jail), has set up what appears to me to be an impossible obstacle course even for an experienced manager, which we know he is not.<BR/>What we know is he is a talented speaker, with enough street punk in him to slyly give the finger to Hillary Clinton and John McCain.<BR/><BR/>I still don't like him, but my 401k, which democrats are now talking about stealing, hopes he is successful in negotiating that course.<BR/><BR/>No matter what, it's gonna be entertaining to watch.Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919862790973521778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-46131020036351906402008-11-05T12:25:00.000-08:002008-11-05T12:25:00.000-08:00Obama must keep this him main promise-- fiscal res...Obama must keep this him main promise-- fiscal responsibility. If he does not, he has two years before a republican majority will again fill Congress. Nancy Pelosi may think Obama is a pushover but several others have found he is not. It won't be easy no matter what he does as the country is facing a lot of problems that would have made a lot of people not even want this job. I wish him the best.. and might I add, your posts here were quite fair and refreshing given what I have read some places where people of the extreme (which the left also can be) seem to go nuts when they lose. I hope the best for our nation over the next 4 years and hope Obama does what he said with choosing the best for his cabinet, regardless of their party affiliation.
