Obama— We have 8 years of the Bush administration to clean up, we will need your money now and by 2012 vote for me again and I will be able to keep my promise...

In the end I am sure it will be deemed that since my son is a "middle class" white boy, I won't qualify.

My conservative 16 year old, trying to be funny, said to me yesterday, "Well, the good news is that I won't have to pay for college!" Then I broke it to him that *we* are going to be paying for everyone else's college and we won't qualify for free tuition money because we're "rich." Poor guy. :-)

Ah, yes. Buyer’s remorse.

Bingo and the Jews voted overwhelmingly for BHO. Wasn't it something like 73%?

Murtha was voted back in after insulting his state.

Coal producing states went blue after BHO promised to bankrupt them....

But the majority believed him and hung on his every word.

The sad thing is that now no one but Bush will be blamed for this mess and no one in the dem party will be held accountable.

Had dinner last night with ultra-BO supporters. Someone said “it’s going to take a while for Obama to clean up the mess”.

This was said with every confidence that Obama has the ability to “clean up the mess”. What a joke!

It took less than a day for them to lower the bar.

Oh man, they are NOT happy on the boards at the SF Chronicle today.

BO is starting off badly.

“Who’s going to pay my mortgage and gas bill?”

I already lost my job. I guess the fun has begun.

“Sorry, Nanny, expectations are high, deliver to your voters now.”

I understand that Obama becoming President was part of the Democrats first hundred hours in office promise.

I was telling folks at work yesterday that Obama and Dems are going to have to back off of some of their promises. One of our senators, Blanche Lincoln (D), is up for re-election in ‘10 and she knows where her bread is buttered in this state, a state that McCain carried 60%-40%. I don’t trust the yellow dogs but I DO know they’re pragmatic politicians.

This is softening for the next salvo. Remember the tax increase on the wealthy? Well, with the economy so bad, and so much free stuff to give away... wealthy will be anyone making over $42.5k $42.50 a week.

People commenting at the article think that “green” jobs will solve this.

They are in for a rude awakening. Their only out is to blame Bush. Mind control over liberal pawns is easy for their leaders.

Gee, ya think? Aren’t they all about promises? If they didn’t know the market would take a dump, then maybe “I” should be president! In fact, with all the “stuff” liberals don’t seem to recall or forsee, it’s amazing they get this far in life.

Let’s see, one day to break all his promises, 6 hours for Russia to make a threat. He’s on a roll!

***Someone said “it’s going to take a while for Obama to clean up the mess”.***

Guess they must not have heard that BO helped create the mess.

A black woman was interviewed by the press during the victory celebration; ?I am so happy! Now, I don?t have to make my mortgage payments anymore and I don?t have to work anymore either!?.Actually said it, Hannity ran the tape yesterday

NO SURPRISE! This is the dominant and prevailing attitude of most who voted for the Marxist freak. The White House will soon be tainted to a point not even attainable by a Clinton.
