God''s speed Mr. President Elect!! Be ready to kick the door down on Jan. 20!! (Don''t forget to bring some lysol)

oh I''m sure that the liberal press will validate that he has done it FASTER, BETTER and with more CLASS than any President in American History...

It''s easy when you are changing the our whole economic system, to move fast. He is throwing out capitalism and bringing in Marxism.

Just remember this Some pigs are more equal than others!!!

No wonder Europe loves BO (phew) he want to bring us down to their level. Cannot wait for Socialized Medicine so I can start begging for an MRI and then the governement says no.

Under BO (phew what a stench) we are mortgaging our grandchildren''s future. And to those who will bring up the 700 Billion Payoff for the criminals stating that Bush wanted it well just remember Pelosi was so hot for it! If Bush did not do anything and let it all fall to be rebilt you would blame him for it. He cannot win.

For all those who want to do their patroitc duty by paying more taxes you can--Just ask your tax preparer to not itemize your deductions, do not deduct any expenses from self employed income and you will be a SUPER PATRIOT and Biden will personally thant you that''s if he can remember what he said.

Pinewalker, exactly how old are you anyway? The issues you itemize weren''t just issues that happened since Bush took office. You sound like script right from the Obama playbook. These problems have been around for decades. They wax and wane under different administrations, including the Dems. Please stop the blame game; you might want to study some history to get a better appreciation for the nation and its ups and downs politically, socially and economically. It might help to put things into their proper perspective. Hopefully you''re not one of those Obama supporters who will expect immediate resolution to whatever conflict(s) is confronting all of us just because you''re possibly accustomed to immediacy and having everything go your way.

Since when is the rise of China and/or Russia a problem??? No wonder conservatives lost the presidency. As for the rise in inequality, healthcare and energy costs, these have happened under President Bush''s watch. He has been so obsessed and pre-occupied with WAR that he couldn''t proffer good legislation for congress to consider. He only wanted to enrich the rich, not advance peace throughout the world. Oh, yeah...we "fellow americans" are responsible also for overspending, letting our eyes and purchasing appetite far and beyond exceed our capacity to pay, but we learned from "Uncle Sam" that operating in the red is SOP so who''s to blame???

Sometimes I forget what it''s like to be young and then along comes a leader like this! He actually doesn''t seem intimidated by this and seems to be moving very quickly to confront it. The Speed he is moving at is not so quickly though that proper assessment can''t be done. IF we learned anything during his Campaign, it was that Obama is a quick learner! When this all started I found myself, as so many others in the camp of Hillary Clinton. As the Campaign continued the cool, thoughtful way this young man approached everything and the fact that when he made a mistake, it didn''t happen again started to change my thinking! We have a good one here folks with a chance to be great!

It is. They need to find a way to get that 70B in there hands. They will all be rich by the time they get out of office.
