I don't know why, but I'm excited to see how Obama bounces back from this

[LeftyAndProud60]

I have put so much faith into this man. We are in need of a leader right now. I want him to demand that this blame game crap ends. We all lost tonight. Now lets do something about it.

1. Cool. n/t

2. So many posts like this tonight

From newbies.

3. Maybe he'll make a moving speech about hope and change? (nt)

[demwing]

5. That better be a damn good speech

like of the "I'm mad as hell, and i'm not going to take it anymore" variety

[CoffeeCat]

6. I was just fantasizing about that...

I'm not kidding.

I was watching the returns and thinking--Boy, Obama must be realizing by now, that he's been
led astray by bully Republicans who convinced him that compromise and caving in were the only
ways he was going to get anywhere in DC.

Those knifing assholes.

We played it there way for several months now. It's about damn time that Obama and every other
Democratic politician realize that when you play their game, they will crush you. If you play
our game--we win.

I was envisioning an Obama speech tomorrow, where he says, "Ok, I tried to compromise and be
reasonable and I ended up selling out and forgetting about the people who elected me. No more.
We will pass healthcare with a public option and many other things that I promised..." and then
he'll bust open the criminal, neocon cabal that is really running things behind the scenes.

A girl can dream, can't she?

I want Obama to channel Michal Douglas in

that scene from the movie "The American President" where he scraps the crime bill because he knows that it is crap and he sends it back to congress to get a real bill

11. Yeah, cause that's all he's been doing for a year

while interneters whine.

[donheld]

20. Then do little or nothing to fullfill those pretty words?

[BeyondGeography]

4. I think he'll be fine

The other side still has nothing to sell other than "no" and their idea bank went into default sometime in the latter part of the last century. He needs to spend less time in the sausage factory and more time selling the benefits of his policies directly to the public while pointing out the bankruptcy of the other side. I think he'll do that.

15. LIke you did with George Bush?

You Republican types stood around while Bush and Cheney destroyed this country.

Now, you have the gall to accuse us of blind allegiance? God, you people have
no credibility at all.

You whine about the deficit with your little tea parties--while you told us
we were all traitors and terrorists for pointing out the fact that Bush turned
a budget surplus into a raging deficit.

You rag on about the Constitution now, while Obama is in office--but you
were a bunch of dingy cheerleaders when Bush wanted to illegally wiretap
us, and strip us all of our Habeas Corpus rights.

SCREW YOU, you pansy hypocrites. How DARE you. You're only for freedom,
truth, and the Constitution when you're whining about the Democrats. As
soon as your party is in power--all of those things are out the window.

You people make me sick!

8. He's already doing it....

... his message has already changed. The Bank "we want our money back!" ... the MLK Sunday speech and even the Coakley stump speech are proof of this .... as usual, he's already a step ahead of us.

[brentspeak]

10. Guffaw

"He's already a step ahead of us"

:eyes:

14. Playing Three Dimensional Chess while texting on his Blackberry?.

:crazy: :silly:

[Clio the Leo]

17. ... and dribbling with the other hand. NT

[budkin]

9. Maybe he'll actually listen to the people who got him elected but somehow I doubt it

[ShortnFiery]

13. WTF? Excited?!? Yeah, sort of that pit in my stomach while watching a slow train wreck.

No matter how many Americans lose their jobs and slip into abject poverty our democratic "leaders" will be just fine.

We are going to lose, and lose big in 2010.

My first indicator was Obama's quick phone call to Brown to congratulate him.

Why does President Obama keep reaching out to the GOP when all he pulls back is seemingly "a bloody stump?" Just perhaps, it's all "a game" to the ruling elite ... they don't give a damn about you and me. :thumbsdown:

We need to make these legislators AFRAID of "the voter" by removing all corporate incumbents until they get it right. :evilgrin:

[gravity]

16. I am not excited, but still have faith in Obama

Much more than any of other Democrat.

19. Meanwhile, the rest of us who aren't holding the world ransom with a self-indulgent personality cult

are not necessarily viewing all this as some kind of fine sport.

There's far too much self-serving grandstanding going around on this subject, and it's not fun to watch. Somehow, many feel that their personal ego-stake in the triumphal personality of Barack Obama is more important than the cold, realistic march of policy and time. I hope you're all having fun, but you're doing it at the expense of the rest of us.
