Eh, I just choose to not call him Barack Obama. The liberal media and his follow....errr....supporters have convinced me that he is a higher being, capable of no wrong, who will deliver us from evil.

I have noticed that too and you can express that sentiment without the off-color jokes. It is a silly distraction.

If it makes everyone happy I will gladly stop calling our new President names.....especially ones that are in poor taste.

Had no idea you were ole DST. Good to hear.

I had it in my signature when I first re-registered and it was discussed in threads. You all aren't observant.

Just be happy I stopped reading "TexasWASP" like I did when you first re-registered.

I'm guilty of reading it as TexasWASP too.

DrPhil/Chaos cool! Now I know why Senuseret responded with a while ago when we asked him where you were! I'm glad [that I now know] you're back!

See...and that's where you go wrong...many people know better, stop watching TV and thinking that the media is feeding the masses that rubbish and the masses believe it. Talk to some people that have common sense and we will tell you that altho WE ARE ECSTATIC about Obama being president, he is HUMAN like everyone else and we don't expect him to fix everything in the next 4 years BUT we are HOPING and praying he is not mess up like Bush was.

i don't plan on closing my eyes and say...Oh it's Barack and he can get away with it...much of the opposite to that, he probably will be scrutinized more than any president ever was...but NOBODY expects him to be perfect.

I had a response to your last post but I am just going to let it go.

You did basically call me a cracker though. It's cool.

Look....I hope he doesn't make some of the same mistakes Bush did either. I think Bush's presidency will be looked upon different in the long run, but that's neither here nor there. Hey, I was speaking in poor taste. Shoot me. I don't think it was racist, but oh well. I know in my mind why the name was made up but that doesn't really matter if it truly offends people. Obviously it does.

If he can turn some of his ideas into realities I will be more than happy..specifically ones that relate to my line of work.

Trying to teach you a lesson....you learned...thank you.

Give Obama time, you and I can either be happy or miserable with the results in 4 years but for people to condemn him before he sets foot in the door is wrong, people expecting him to walk on water and raise the dead is ALSO EQUALLY as wrong.

Me personally, will have a hard time reconciling with Bush's admin but that's just my (....plus 2 million on The Mall ) opinion
