well stated

Unfortunately most of the other Obama lovers here think that because Obama won, the GOP MUST disband. They think that it was a referendum for a socialist state with govt. med care, and govt owned business being their employers, and govt programs to make their lives right.

they also like to ignore when they cry out" everything Bush did was wrong", just how much Obama is either continuing or even outright defending in the courts for the previous admins actions.

finally the the shrill tone of the left is meaningful, they won, the DEMs can pass any law in congress, Obama can say any thing (with a teleprompter) and yet they still scream. It's like they can't MoveOn. they just don't know what to do, they won, but their lives still suck evidently.

An editorial by nature is opinion and being that Mr. Hanson is a well known Bush sympathizer, I can't imagine his commentary can or should be considered un-biased. No matter his credentials, his cronyism precedes him...so anytime Mr. Hanson speaks ill of President Obama or his policies or of anyone that doesn't fit into his version of correctness...it simply cannot be taken seriously...not by me, at least.
That being said, my opinion does not usurp the opinions of Mr. Hansen or anyone else...because even if I disagree, all Bush apologists and others have the right to voice their beliefs...even if they're dead wrong.

Funny VDH should write this article as I was just today asking myself "Where is the change I can beleive in?". Is Obama turning out to have been the candidate that will continue George W. Bush's third term? He has done absolutely nothing to distinguish his Presidency from the preceding one. He is carrying on all of Bush's policies, both foreign and domestic, regarding both the economy (bailouts) and the war (expanding our presence in the Middle East.). Are we blind or just stupid? He now says he may not even sign the Freedom of Choice Act, something he promised would be the first thing he would do if elected. Excuse me, who is Barack Obama?

How dare our President man up and apologize for the many mistakes made over the last 8 years by our country in the area of foreign policy?

What nerve of him to try and repair relationships with other countries that had been strong allies for over 100 years, but were dashed in minutes by Mr. "You're either with us or against us" Bush.

And he wants to make the US and world safer by using words and diplomacy, instead of brute force? Unbelieveable!

Well stated. But you might as well give up on the poor bitter neocons. Facts, figures, none of these things matter to them. Let them be wrong every time. Let them lose every single election. Let them fade into the obscurity they so richly deserve. Until they own up to their mistakes and the mistakes of the Bush Administration, they shall remain an ineffectless, passive force, wallowing in their own securities and self-pity, unable to affect change and powerless to change their own course.

Bush used a teleprompter, too.

Unfortunately that didn't provide much benefit with the reading skill level of a fourth grader.

Forgive me for asking, but what portions of the article do you disagree with? I found it to be factual.

noloyalisti: You are an idiot. You think a man who cannot speak without a teleprompter is intelligent? Get a grip.

The paranoia and downright pants pooping hysteria of the right wing is halarious. These guys are like deranged mental patients let loose on society by the faux news hyperventilating talking heads whose puppet strings are pulled by some foreigner named Rupert Murdock. And then we have the drug addled voice of the republican party Rush Limbaugh calling the ever faithful to jump off the cliff to sacrifice themselves for their Cuban Cigar smoking betters. There IS a vast right wing conspiracy after all and it's A Conspiracy of Dunces (read the book!). I read of the newly found right wing outrage over defending the Constitution and fiscal responsibility and wonder where the hell you were the past 8 years. Your protests ring hollow... just like your party and your philosophy of hate and fear. I truly believe you fools would rather destroy our country for your party than to admit you had anything to do with our current situation. My God, I see you idiots still blaming Clinton for today's ills... how lame can you get? What happened the your accountability poop you guys touted with your Compassionate Conservative B.S.? Your philosophy, it turns out, ssucks! You bankrupted our country and weather you believe it or not, you guys are now the 21st Century Lepers (my apology to the true sufferers of this disease for tainting you with these reprobates, but I needed an analogy). Dammmit! I was a Republican with a capital R until you wackos took over... and now the same a$$hole that drove me from the party, Newt Gingrich is the freakin' voice of restraint! I could just s**t!
