Apparently Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab never got that memo. But he didn't, apparently he doesn't despise those "political creatures" after all. In fact he's just another one of them.
The Obamanuts think he is going to save the world. The Anti-Obamanuts want him to do it in his first year. How's this: Obama wanted the job. It became his responsibility when he took the oath of office. The economy was troubled, but Bush left. Forget the "inherited" thing. What's happening? Same logic: Bush wanted the job too. Protecting America against terrorism became his responsibility when he took the oath of office. bin Laden had been threatening to strike the US, but Clinton left. Forget the "inherited" thing. What happened? You can argue it any way you want to fulfill your own point of view.
Well, we all know what these maniacs are. You could lock America down and stop all international air traffic, but they'd find a way to detonate a bomb in search of those elusive virgins. I'd argue that anyone, right or left, who makes it to the White House has to be partly of this species. I guess I just see him as being a hell of a lot better than GWB. Now that I think about it, when GWB was in office, the liberals loved to do sort of the same thing, constantly pointing out that he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Part of what makes this different is that the extremist right on here sometimes seem more focused on those who support Obama than they are on Obama himself.
I'd agree with most of what you said. I'm not exactly Obama's biggest fan. I just think the hysterical hand-wringing that goes on here makes the 3 or 4 guys who start the 30 or so threads a week on this subject look like fools.
I am still waiting for those who want to say McCain/Palin would have been better than what we have...
