"I didn't vote for the man, but I hope he does a good job".

[maxsolomon]

translation: "i am a bush-loving, mccain/palin-voting idiot who heard that liberals are going around letting bygones be bygones because Obama said so. i called you a traitor & a bomb-throwing leftist loon for 8 years, you said the constitution was being violated & that bush should be be impeached. no difference, just opinions. we're cool now, right?".

no, that's not right. it's going to be a long time before i'm ready to make nice with republicans. if ever. no matter what Obama says it's time for.

it's time for Bush & Cheney to be in the Hague, and that time will last until they're dead.

1. That is what I said eight years ago...

I wanted Bush to prove me wrong. Instead my career was outsourced, my wife's job liquidated and the costs of everything ballooned.

My hopes were not very high. I couldn't possibly imagine the untold destruction that cabal was capable of...

Anyone who wished their president to fail, whether they voted for him or not, is wishing the country to fail. We ALL have a vested interest in his success.

3. Republicans want america to fail.. all they care

about is their pockets. THey want tax reduction and free enterprise without no oversight at ALL COST.. this is their mantra and Mr. Ken- a.k.a. the handsome right wing mormon (forgot his real name) is getting ready to spread this evil platform once again to the american people i saw him on Faux news yesterday saying tax cuts, free enterprise and free corporate regulations will IMPROVE THE ECONOMY!!!. I was speechless...

REPUBLICANS ARE THE ENEMY OF AMERICA. Don't let another Republican EVER take office. They are EVIL!

4. They're Honestly Clueless

The other day I was listening to Michael Medved...out of pure schadenfraude. This turd was caught between the "I'm gonna give him a chance...he is the President" and then going into some jag about how the country has now gone to hell. It was like the devil/angel scene from Animal House.

Some of these asshat's aren't totally tone deaf. They see us celebrating and getting all the positive vibes and they want to be part of the fun...to hang with the cool kids. Yet, they still have to relate to the dead-enders who are so full of anger and frustration, they've spun into another dimension. The vast amount of hypocrisy these fools have spun has doubled and tripled back on them....revisionism of their revisionism.

Consider this just another step in their self-intervention. It's gone from denial to resignation...but the anger still is there. They aren't ready to face their crimes, yet...and the more they revise, they more they keep both the crimes and the criminals in the public light.

Our job is not to "move along" about past 8 years...we need to prod the Congresscritters to keep on investigating...to encourage the whistleblowers that it's safe to come out now and to use our voices, blogs, emails and whatever to make sure accountability isn't a "luxuary", but a prerequisite for this country to truly regain its credibility.

5. actually that is a rather sensible thing to say rather than what Limpballs said

yesterday that he hopes Obama fails.

[maxsolomon]

7. as Obama's fence-mending is a sensible thing.

To SAY. give me a second to breathe before you demand forgiveness. especially if you insist on retaining your incorrect facts & opinions.

6. Those were my sentiments 8 years ago.

I consider myself a patriot, and I thought that Bush having a successful presidency meant that our nation would succeed too. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that success for Bush meant bleeding the country dry and urinating on the corpse. I accept that there are some people of good will on the Right who genuinely disagreed with President Obama, but will wish him the best because they love their country more than they disagree with our President. This is useful, it may allow President Obama to garner universal support for his policies to batter the Republican minority into passing his policies.
