- I''''m talking to one. And, show some respect for the man who defeated the old, decrepit piece of garbage in a presidential election, something Bush never did.

I''m more into measuring people by the content of their character. A talking head lawyer with no REAL experience who throws friends family under the bus when it suits him deserves no respect. - Reply to this comment
- frankfurt-you are right on one account. Bush did just sit by but he also sat by as dodd, raines, johnson AND your chosen one made bundles of money from fannie and freddie. During the 2004 Congressional hearings the Republicans allowed themselves to be bullied by the usual race baiting and cries of "racism" from the likes of your maxine waters. The Republicans are at fault for allowing those lending practices to continue. Show us one Republican who made the big money the way your side did. Just one. BTW, I understand rubin is big on the chosen one''s economic team. He sure did a great job with citicorp.

- It''s obvious that most neocons repeat word for word what their Limbaugh god tells them daily.

He''s not even sworn in yet, fool.
Why do you hate America so much? - Reply to this comment
- tj217-ah, there it is, the old ploy of name calling. No other opinion matters but yours, right?? Let''s not forget that 48% of the country did not vote for your chosen one. Try learning about what is going on by visiting other sites besides this one and the dailykos.
I hear there''s a brown shirt in your size just waiting for you. - Reply to this comment
- Please take off your rose colored glasses (or in your case, whining Republican-colored glasses). Obama hardly has the look of a "drowing man" or a ''''deer in the headlights''''. If anything, he has the look of a man who is reassuring the American people that he understands the problem, and isn''''t going to waste any time trying to fix it. Understand this: If he fails, we all fail. If you had some semblance of class, you would know that. But, since you don''''t...

Say, since your chosen one''s bff, ayers, visited hugo and there was a LOT of love between them, how about ayers steps in and fixes any "rift". Sounds like a plan to me.
Say, didn''t ayers and hugo get together for education reform?? The man should use all his contacts. - Reply to this comment
- It may not stop but Obama will handle it better than Bush did or would!

I don''t think anyone could do much worse. In most cases Bush just sat back and refused to get involved as corruption and greed ran wild in the market. The first greatest example was when Enron deliberately created an energy crisis designed to extort money from the people of California. Bush knew what was going on and did absolutely nothing. You can''t get any more worthless than that. - Reply to this comment
- Oh yes. The economy did so well under your demagogue Reagan. There was a recession long into his first term in office, so you cannot blame all of the failure on Carter. And of course, you idiot conservatives are in a position to blame Obama for the past eight years of lies, secrets and ultimate economic debacle. Blame those who are truly repsonsible for this, as the rest of the voting public did when they sent these morons to the house. This is ALL the Republicans'''' fault.

You mean after Carter tanked the economy? And look at all the world respect Obama ("House N**") get''s. Man they know a fool when they see one why couldn''t you? - Reply to this comment
- Another "liberal" who knows the facts and ignores conservative opinions based off of less than adequate intelligance. The above statement comes from another idiot conservative who "just can''''t understand" why the country voted for Obama. Here''''s an idea: take a look at the past eight years. As a wise person stated, if you''''re not appalled, then you haven''''t been paying attention...

LOL you''re not watching your fearing leader Obama who is live right now showing all the signs of a drowning man. AHAHAHAHHA - Reply to this comment
- Chavez and his allies...like Belarus, Nicaragua, Boliva, Iran, Russia, Ecuador, Argentina...yeah, I''m shaking in my boots - NOT!
For all of his bluster what has Chavez accomplished? Latin America, despite the resurgence of psuedo-socialist governments is NO more unified than it was 10 years ago, 20 years...big yawn...
So what if Russia sent 50% of its working (and aged fleet) to visit Chavez...if the Russians wanted to send a real signal their ships would have visited Cuba! - Reply to this comment
- The rift would come to an end if Obama would appoint Chavez co-president. Once that happened, the US could give him a nuclear bomb and the means to launch it. Then Obama could claim proof that he can work with dictators from the t*urd world.

- Obama is on again "Big smile Big smile" as he tries to stop our failing economy on the news he was elected. He just missing the fuzzy sweater and the roaring fire in the background as we head into another Carterish failed economy.

- President Hugo Chavez, who once called President Bush "the devil," has held out his hand to Obama and expressed a willingness to reengage Washington after expelling the U.S. ambassador in September. Chavez also describes his scheduled meeting with Medvedev on Wednesday and the joint naval maneuvers with the Russian flotilla as friendly exchanges that are not designed to provoke the United States.
---------------------------------------
Much of the problem was the personal anomisity between Chavez and Bush. Obama should, after 1/2009, instruct the ambassador to open talks with Chavez. Things go well - good. Things do not go well - we are back where we started. - Reply to this comment

- "Under a narrative that has become a cornerstone of foreign policy here, the United States is determined to kill Chavez, seize Venezuela''s vast oil reserves and ensure that Venezuelans remain subservient to "the empire.""
Yup. That pretty well sums up the a the recent and past behavior of the US and US/European interests over the last 100 years or so in the Americas. - Reply to this comment
