2. Don't stop thinking about tomorrow.

That was a great campaign song.

It is true - Yesterday's gone.

[rufus dog]

21. actually I don't like the song

The Buckingham Nicks songs had some depth, Landslide being one that had commercial success. Don't stop was lame.

[Maccagirl]

3. I'm right behind you

DU has deteriorated into a cesspool. I've put 3 people on ignore today.
Bye.

[EvilAL]

10. The more the scarier.

11. No, because we're presently at war and he doesn't have enough experience.

Why is that such a difficult concept to be understood? It's really that obvious. There's a lot of good things about Obama, but there's no getting around the fact that he's simply not ready to take on the most challenging job in the world, at one of our nation's most difficult periods in its history. To nominate him is counter intuitive and we can't afford to tangle ourselves up in what is counter intuitive. This time we have to be as smart as possible. If we were in peace time Obama might be appropriate, but thousands of lives are at stake, and you want to roll the dice on these people's lives? If you can get past the Gospel word of Oprah and look at this objectively, you would have to admit that there's a certain amount of blind faith in keeping with your support for Obama, but it's not practical and now is not the time to gamble with our nation's future. Obama has plenty of time. He'll make it one day, but not in 2008. Nominate Sen. Biden and you'll see Barack as his running mate, giving him the experience he lacks now. What better guy to learn from than Biden. Be patient and do what's best for America and the Democratic Party. Support Sen. Biden. You won't be disappointed.

12. Hang tough teacher

The vitriol is out of control and I understand your want for time off. But some of the hate, well the majority of it, is based in fear. Some are concerned that a younger man taking the Presidency makes them somehow weaker. It is based in their own insecurity. It makes them lash out at Obama over his 60's generation comments, they don't hear what he is saying, only a critique of them personally and their current position in life. If you are gaining knowledge through each phase of life you understand that it is natural. If you are fearful then you lash out. Peace be with you.

13. Don't leave, dude!

[Colobo]

14. Don't leave, dude!

[sandnsea]

15. I'm just doubling up on my ignore button

I don't need to miss the good just because some people are complete and total assholes and never offer anything of substance.

[ellisonz]

25. Ditto.

[ClarkUSA]

16. Hey, I'm going to miss your gutsy honesty, PC... so come back soon.

There are many of us who like you and your contributions here a heckuva lot. :yourock:

Send me an email and let me know what you're doing.

[jefferson_dem]

17. Take care, Teacherguy.

We'll miss you. Hurry back, man.

[Nedsdag]

18. Bye, calteachguy!

You'll be missed.

See you in Denver when Obama makes his acceptance speech.

:cry: :hug:

[ripple]

22. Obama IS 44!!!!!!!!! Take care, calteacherguy and...

donate a little bit of time canvassing, phone banking, and doing whatever else you can to get Obama elected. :patriot:

[ariesgem]

23. Please take care and check in soon..

I enjoy your postings and you will be missed during your break.

GOBAMA!

[readmoreoften]

24. Is that what all that 44 crap is about? His age?

I'm supposed to vote for this guy because he's 44? So, what? He's less likely to have a heart attack in office? He has less wrinkles? WTF?

Should I vote for a College Republican over Kucinich because their ideas are 'fresher'?

This guy isn't a candidate, he's a cult leader.

[JNelson6563]

26. Hop on the clue bus friend!

"44" means the 44th President. Aren't you sorry you played the shit flinging monkey out of ignorance?

[ellacott]

30. Great line n/t

[Perry Logan]

28. In a year, we can all have a good laugh at this thread.

[Tellurian]

29. Another Farewell thread...

my 2 cents..Farewell Guy has changed his mind so many times about who he intends to support, he is about to change it again and is too embarrassed to admit he made another mistake switching back to Obama..

Hint: Hillary IS the one and "Hillary IS 44"...

[MethuenProgressive]

31. Pro-Clinton Clarkie1 is taking his UltraObamaCult CalTeacherGuy persona and going home?

What will his next name/candidate be? And how long until we see it? (Unless we already have...):shrug:
