He/she is locked into that mindset. Kid, all I want to say is the majority of this country has moved far past what race or nationality a person is. The question of the day is, do we hold conservative values, or do we want to become an European type of S-word type of Country?

We all understand the historical significance of the first African-American President, but so far, he has been greatly lacking in any leadership abilities. He really comes across as a person who has no idea what he is doing. This is not unsurprising, because he is totally unprepared in any experience in a decision making capability. He has no clue what to do. We all know it. He wants to go far left, - the majority of us don't want to, but he wrongly thinks that he has a mandate to go in that direction.

Hooray!

I was born on a Monday of the 13th of a month, and my granddaughter, (who has somehow stolen my face and hair), was born on a Friday of the 13th of a month. I give my mixed Chihuahua dogs their heart worm medication on the 13th, and I bath them, and file their nails down. I also check my breast for lumps on this day - so far, no lumps. Friday the 13th has never been an unlucky day for me. Thirteen has always been a joyful day for me.

I'll bet my 3 1/2 year granddaughter that you came no where close to the 1/3 you lost. We keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting, for our newly elected President to inform us exactly what his plan is, to set our economy on the straight and narrow. So far, he just dances around this question that we are all waiting to hear. Remember the "Not ready for prime time players". Obama is the classic case for the "Not ready to be a President of a country".

Nancy is a blithering idiot who believes that she is the "Real President" and BoBo is her puppet. I am amazed that this egotistic, power grabbing, empty skirt, is able to get re-elected by the people in California. Are most of the people in CA abusing some kind of drug?

I used to live in a suburb of Maryland that backed up to a small stream. The stream had small stands of trees on both sides of it. One night, I looked into my backyard and was surprised to see eight deers standing in my yard. It was really special, - because it was Christmas Eve.

So far, he hasn't shown any leadership skills, and there are no signs of any intelligence that I can see. He seems to be of average intelligence, and not any good at speaking for his self, without prescripted words for him to say. The current President is suppose to be leader of his political party, but it's clear that Nancy Pelosi is the leader of his political party, and calls all the shots.

Obama, Geithner Receive Failing Grades From Economists in Survey In stark contrast with Obama's popularity with the public, a majority of the 49 economists polled by the Wall Street Journal are dissatisfied with the administration's economic policies.

We currently have a President, who is so inexperienced, and has no idea how to be an actual leader, that in 2012, this will be corrected by someone coming forward, either Democrat or Republican, or maybe Independent, who will return our Country to some kind of balance. Thu, 12 Mar 2009 06:38:03 +0000 http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2009/03/11/open-thread-688/#IDComment16791094 http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2009/03/11/open-thread-688/#IDComment16788865 During the campaign, all of us were told that Obama was really intelligent. Has anyone at all seen any proof of this intelligence? I know that I haven't. All that I've seen, is a great dependence on using Teleprompters. Now, it is rumored, that he wants an "instant message" type of screen built into any podium he might stand at. What I have deduced from this, is that he can not think for his self, and he must be "scripted" by others. How sad, that we have a President that has no thoughts or ideals of his own. He must be told what to think and believe. To me, he will forever be "BoBO the Clown". We all know that Nancy Pelosi is the real person in power running this Country. My only hope is that the people in CA won't re-elect her again.

Sometimes, earmarks are good for a local community, and solves a pressing need. As long as it's not going as "payback" to a private enterprise for their huge political contribution, and has been fully vetted and approved by committee, there is nothing wrong with this. As for Obama's party, - everything has been "payback" for private interests, and we all know it. All the Unions, - auto, teachers, government, are being paid back for their huge political contributions.

I used to work as a computer programmer w-a-y back in the day, so I don't have trouble adjusting to any changes, because I understand really basic stuff about how computer programs work. I have a few suggestions for whoever is your IT team for your blog. I like the avatars, and the registration of bloggers, but I believe that when someone registers, they should be taken through the entire process on how to have an avatar. I also like the ability to reply to someone's comment instead of copying their comment, then writing my reply under it. My suggestion for this is: When someone replies to someone, the original comment and the reply, is "copied" or appended to the end of the comment string. This leaves the original comment on 'say' page 1, and the original comment PLUS the reply on 'say' page three at the real time it was replied to. The person who replied should also be redirected to page 3 so that they know that their comment "went through". The "replyee" may continue on from this point or maybe go back to page one or two to read other comments.

He sees his Presidency as another Camelot era, like the John F. Kennedy years. The thing is, he's nothing like Kennedy, and Michelle has none of the natural grace and style of Jackie. Having expensive Wednesday night functions, when one has no style or grace, - does not make a Camelot. I believe that Obama is more like the peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter. Carter was as inept, and controlled by the Democrats, - just as Obama is now. Neither one of these two Presidents have any leadership abilities. Kennedy and Regan were true leaders, because both of these men had core beliefs that they never wavered from. Obama has already failed our country. For the past five months, he has been telling us that there is a "Plan" to solve our financial crisis. It's getting close to a half a year, and no "Plan" has been defined. I don't know how anyone else feels about Tim Geithner being Secretary of the Treasury, but I'm insulted that this tax-cheat, nincompoop, "doesn't have a clue", person, is the top boss of the IRS. I think it's outrageous.
