If it's ok to applaud some of what he's done now, then should be ok to criticize some of it.

This is why I had such a huge problem when people like Limbaugh and the ilk just straight came out and said I hope he fails.

It had a lot of sore loser saltiness attributed to it.

I mean no matter whether you like a *new* POTUS or not, instead of hoping for abject failure, it's best to just hope that they do well enough to not affect your bottom line.

No matter how much I disliked Bush, I was hoping somewhere somehow that he would do some things to not come off as a complete and abject failure, but in my eyes, it never happened but I didn't sit back and WISH him to fail.

Be nonplussed and unsympathizing yes...hope for failure...no.


That is an issue that we as citizens especially those that are not used to being in that position has to understand how to take. As they say, "When given lemons, make lemonade."

As we have said so many times already, it's way too early to tell how things are going to talk about it's going to turn out.

Another report I was trying to find is how NOW critics of Clinton are all over him stating that his economic decisions from his administration are the reason why we are where we are today.

It seems like everyone wants to point fingers of blame instead of doing something about it. Sure, we can go back and blame Bush and Clinton and Congress that met back then on things that are happening now but it's not like we can force them to change what is as it is.

What we have to deal with is what this present admin has the ability to do in the present day to fix at least a part of it.
