The idiots that voted for him must also be held accountable including the ones here tonight that would continue his policies. Are those people mean, evil people or just plain stupid?

It's time for the bickering to stop! Whether you voted for Barack or not, this is OUR country. We are to uphold whomever is elected to office. We may not agree with Barack on everything, however let's be supportive. As he stated all along: "This is The UNITED States of America"! There is too much division in this country! We dont have to stay in Iraq for war because we are at war with one another! We need to realize that Obama's whole campaign was about change, but we must look a little deeper at the word change. We all must make an effort to change some things (our view of some things, attitude, spending, etc) so that our nation may become united once again. There is too much hatred in this country over nothing. I feel that Obama will do a great job, keeping in mind that he is human just like you and I. Let's not talk down about our president -elect so people from other countries can see how divided we are. Let's really be an example for those countries that look up to us. Let's all be optimistic and hopeful. It takes too much energy to be negative. Peace, Blessings, and Love! CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? It's time for the bickering to stop!

Who are the ones that gave Bush a positive approval rating? They must be some of the backward rednecks down South who think anything but a bi-racial man in office is good.

If the American public stays with him in the major battles/showdowns with the G.O.P.; he just might transform the U.S. into the kinder/gentler nation everyone dreams of. The simple fact of the matter is lobbyists and other entrenched powers in Washington are going to fight reform and change every step of the way. If Congress sees the public standing by their President;anything is possible. If not, it will be VERY difficult for ANY one person to fight such bureaucracy.

He is clearly the WORST PRESIDENT we've ever had. He will never live that down, he's branded and so is the Republican Party. Now they're regrouping to come up with more lies because the last ones didn't work. Americans were smarter on November 4th and we'll be even smarter in four years. We will not be fooled or moved.

Obama has just removed all of his campaign promises on 25 agenda items from his website. All his promises are now reduced to a few very general and vague platitudes. He wants us to forget everything he promised. He smooth talked his way to victory and now he has brought back most of the same old tired political hacks. Change, my foot. I can not believe we elected this smooth talker over the Straight Talker. He lifted the expectations of so many millions of naive voters to win and now he has to quietly lower them to the subfloor. No doubt he'll apply some more smooth talk and get away with it. No wonder there is pessimism out there.
