Is there a double standard here?????

Heck, he already said it could take longer than one term to fix the aweful state of our country. I thought he was going to have us up and running pretty quickly? Please note the price of gas today and your electric bill and we will revisit that figure next winter. Which way do you guys think it will go?

How about we compare the average price of gas over the next four years as opposed to the last four years, just to get a true measure. I would say it will end up being pretty similar - I don't see the price of gas staying under $2 for very long, and I don't think the greatest president in the world can make that happen.

I just think too many people are discounting him, before he has made one presidential decision. I can't say he will do a great job, neither can anyone else. Just the same, I can't say he will be awful either. I think his largest test as president will be to try to decrease the political divide that the last eight years, as well as this election has caused.

I say an increased divide was caused by the election because it was a sham(JMO)...the nation has always had political differences and will never see eye to eye so yes he has a GREAT problem there.

Religion has everything to do with it, this country was based on Christian fundementals, every law we have is based on Christian fundementals, and all of a sudden religion does not matter, to me its everything. You put someone in office that doesnt even believe in God, or Christian fundementals, this country will go to $%# faster than he can backpedal on his beliefs.

Actually, America was founded based on the freedom to practice religion as each person saw fit, not just as Christian religion taught. Those Christian laws that you talk about were based on Hammurabi’s Code, something older than the bible. Go back far enough and you'll find that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity were all part of the same religion. Pretty much split just like we have Catholic, Southern Baptist, Lutheran, etc. versions of Christianity today. How do we define what Christian Fundamentals are? I mean some sects of Christianity believe in handling snakes, some see all alcohol as a sin, others are ok with alcohol, etc. A wide variety of beliefs there. That is why the founding fathers did not want a state sponsored religion. So no, I do not believe that a politician's religious beliefs should matter.

I just hope he is not as bad as I think he will be. If he is, I will just quit my job, buy a trailer by Kentucky lake, and be a welfare baby, hell I might find me a hot muslim and knock her up about 6 times, so I could get enough money to put me a new Mercury on the back of the ranger.

Don't think you could afford a new Mercury off what welfare pays but good luck with that.

You do relize there has been wefare system in this country for some years now don't you and it's not just some new Obama idea.

Nope but you can bet Obama will make sure that all the dead beats sitting at home keep getting their share as he calls it...Take from those who have it and by god make sure those that don't get theirs......

Yes I do realize that, but never thought the economy would be this bad, and I know Obama had nothing to do with it, just hoping he does not make it worse, if he does I may change my way of thinking.
