Instead you choose to be stuck on a stupid ideology. I hope he has a lot of time to reflect on what he did. Instead he has this bogus attitude like so what, and you republicans are willing to accept that. Stop hating on Obama. I think you are all more scared that he will do a good job of getting us out of this mess that the republicans created, and you won't be able to rag on him.

I also doubt there will be very many changes under Obama, yet Obama's supporters are expecting so much from him. Obama is a play-it-safe, risk avoidance manager - he'll tread water rather than make a move. Americans don't like indecisiveness.

He has left the nation in one hell of a mess and to all of you idiots out there that think he kept our country safe, think again. I can only hope in my lifetime the truth comes out about how much he was really responsible for 9-11. I sure hope all of the networks don't give him air time.
