...just like the last eight years. Please leave your rose colored glasses on, same as with the rest of the McBushies.

[I drew no comparisons to any other administrations. But the rosie glasses reference fits the current Obamanista's profile. - ED]

Right on.  My question is why do most of Obama's cabinet picks have a tainted past...either they have not paid their taxes or the are being investigated? This is NOT change and Obama's "hope" was just an ad campaign that sold America a defective product.

[We knew the fix was in when Obama's pre-campaign associations -- Rezko, Ayers, Wright, Fleger, Farrakhan and a host of slimy Chicago types and professorial lefties -- were never investigated by the major media. So do you think he's worried now if his appointee designates have shady histories? Besides, they're being "transparent" about the precise dollar amounts in question, aren't they? -ED]

Your ideas sound good.  In interest of full disclosure, I'm a registered Independent.  Unfortunately, neither party (Republican or Democrat) seems to have the answers.  The last 8 years of W Bush wasn't anything for the GOP to be proud of, and yes it does seem that the hype of Obama may not meet expectations.  However, the GOP didn't to appear to take the election of 2008 all that seriously.  John McCain is a great American, War Hero Patriot, but just didn't have what it took and his poor handling of picking a VP (he never met Mrs. Palin, but only talked to her on the phone twice before picking this nice, but inexperience woman hurt him with non Republicans.  If McCain needed a woman why not Republican Christy Todd Whitman former NJ governor?  As much as I personally like Mr. Huckabee, many non-religious conservatives ( I personally know some) said they'd never vote for a preacher.  Frankly, I think the smartest thing for the GOP to do is let Obama/Biden have their way.  If it works great America's economic problem is fixed, if not, then things will get far worse and 2012 would be a major landslide opportunity for the GOP.  With all the complaining that the likes of Limbaugh and other conservatives are doing they just sound like whiners and complainers, and obstructionists.  That probably won't help the GOP in the long run.  That's MY spin.

Oh....you didn't realize you were being conned the last eight years?! Blindness from reality must make your life pretty sad, Eddo! It almost cracks me up how the Bush worshippers expect change NOW!!!! Like a person can wave a special magic wand and POOF: the Bush years can be magically and suddenly repaired in two weeks.

[Again, you've got it inside-out and backward, hooli. There were never any Bush worshippers and those of us who recognize his legitimate achievements (namely staking his life and legacy on doing what was necessary to keep us safe from further attacks) certainly don't expect anything to be "changed" for the good by someone who has nothing BUT blind worshippers behind him.  There's not a liberal critic in sight -- not even any of those 18,000,000 Hillary primary supporters who didn't want Obama to be the person answering the 3AM phone call. Perhaps you were one of them back then? If so, you were right then but you're wrong now. You lefties are always telling us to "get over it" but you keep hating Bush even after boo-ing him out of DC and singing the old Steam song while he was being gracious and congratulatory to the Obamas and the mob.  How many years will it take to repair the damage done in Obama's first two weeks? -ED]

And those who are blind to the fact that the previous administration was the primary contributor to the hideous economic situation in which this great country current resides is even more frightening. The rest of us, however, have the greatest of hope in the current administration and pray that the same greedy mistakes made in the past eight years are a thing of the past and never to be repeated.

[So I guess Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Teddy Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Kerry and your homeboy VP were part of the previous administration because they sure were part of the problem and things didn't start going downhill until their power trumped Bush's.  I can't blame Barry and Hillary because they never showed up...they were too busy campaigning. -ED]

FACT: When George Bush took office, Bill Clinton left him a booming economy! FACT: When George Bush took office, Bill Clinton left him record low unemployment! FACT: When George Bush took office Bill Clinton left him the first budget surplus in 30 years. FACT: George Bush is leaving Barack Obama what is amounting to the next great depression.
Anyone that argues fact is an idiot. Do yourself a favor eddo, let everyone think you're a fool. Don't write a blog and remove all doubt!

[FACT: Bill Clinton left George Bush al Qaida plus an ill-prepared, under-funded military/intelligence complex as a result of cutting spending to enhance his "on-paper" surplus.  FACT: Despite 9/11's devastating effect on our economy the unemployment rate was ultimately lower under Bush than it was under Clinton and the economy was great until the Dems took over.  FACT: I'll keep blogging and you'll keep drinking the Kool-Aid. -ED]

"The chosen one" is telling Americans to start using the FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] to collect government data. The names of those collecting data will be of no consequence, I promise.
