Yo, Biden, don’t pull this “lowering expectations” crap. You and Obama wanted this big dance, so get to steppin’, boy! Time to make good on all the promises. And don’t press the “easy” button by blaming Bush either.

[Le Chien Rouge]

The MSM and President Obama will spend the next four years blaming EVERYTHING that goes wrong on GW Bush .......

[ScottinVA]

“When Prez Obama makes his first official overseas excursion, to get there, will he part the sea or walk on water?”

He’ll be transported by heavenly forces and descend from the sky.

” Biden said. “They are so hungry to have an American leader who they think has a policy that reflects our stated values as well as one they can talk to.”
*****************************************************

What they are hungry for is American money. The only talking they want to do is asking for that money.

[Dallas59]

Would you like those campaign promises with ketchup????

The MSM and President Obama will spend the next four years blaming EVERYTHING that goes wrong on GW Bush .......

Many on FR still blame Clinton, even though Bush was elected and served 2 terms.

My contention is this: Whoever is sworn in has responsibility. It is his/her watch and the blame game does not work. If the person cannot handle it, he/she should resign.

[DejaJude]

The major question will be this:

When Prez Obama makes his first official overseas excursion, to get there, will he part the sea or walk on water?

He will just use Air Force One, like every other POTUS before him. The real question is: Who does Obama have to fear most, those who saw him as just a politician or those who expected a savior?

[Joe Boucher]

Too true TomGuy.
RINOs should be chased from the party.

[ontap]

Yea Right! Just remember the facts, There are those who throw the money, those who receive the thrown money, and those from whom the money was confiscated from. Guess which category we fall in.

“They are so hungry to have an American leader who they think has a policy that reflects our their stated values as well as one they can talk to roll.”

[badgerlandjim]

What the hell? Who’s gonna pay my mortgage? Who’s gonna fill my gas tank for nothing? I want my vote back!

[Dick Bachert]

[Dick Bachert]

Of course, he'll FLY.

[the “exceedingly high expectations” the world community has for Barack Obama’s presidency.]

Maybe the Obama juggernaut ought to have thought of that before they promised to cure the lame and heal the blind, you morons. Of course, this is what a lot of us have been expecting (just a lot faster than hoped), the utter collapse of Obamania when faced with reality. The disappointment, let-down and buyer’s remorse that is coming will be a tsunami.

[ripley]

disdainful, obnoxious democrats. they seem to be making it obvious against whom they’re fighting.

they love their war on Christmas and hate Christians to the point of unbridled contempt and blasphemous rantings.

(one wonders what the One’s internal security force will be up to in the years to come.)

IMHO

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Well, it's the presidency, plugs.
It ain't head of the fraternity. Well, actually, in the minds of some it is.

My prediction: you Dems will eventually (two years probably) really regret manufacturing this “economic crisis” as your October surprise. It has spun out of control because of three factors:

1. The law of unintended consequences, which you leftists are incapable of grasping, which is why you think you can actually control a nation's economy from a central point.

2. Risky and unscrupulous participants in the various branches of the financial sector jumping on the bandwagon and taking advantage of the “economic crisis.”

3. The un-harmonious convergence of manifold, global economic potentialities becoming reality at the same time.

We all know that you leftists would love for this to hit rock bottom so that the people demand socialism/communism to save us from ourselves. But your definition of “rock bottom” is not reality. When this hits the real rock bottom, you guys will be at fault and your policies will, once again, be proven to be disastrous.

I'm kind of glad this will be happening under the watch of the symbol of the “new generation”: the neo-narcissistic youth-worshipping cult of multi-cultural, metro-global collectivism.

Hey, man, where’s my free dental plan? How I am going to spend my stimulus check if I’m laid up in bed with a toothache? How come minorities are still underepresented (except Asians, of course) in the physics departments at Cal Tech and MIT? What gives? Where’s my heaven on earth? Where’s my $25.00 an hour minimum wage? Where do I get my free breakfast? How do I perform well without it? How come I can’t marry my pet goat? Oh! I get it, Obama hasn’t been crowned yet. Heaven’s less than a month away.

[N. Theknow]

One thing 0bama has already done is the reversal of global warming.

Why, just yesterday I went down to the beach and the water was waaaaaayyyyyyy out with bare sand for nearly 500 yards.

[ichabod1]

We need to be bigger than that. We don’t want to stoop to their level.

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Many on FR still blame Clinton, even though Bush was elected and served 2 terms.<

Actually we are STILL paying for things Clinton did and will for a very long time. 0 will be no different. Some damage takes a generation to heal from. I don't think we will have enough time with 0.
