that the "change" he represented was not a salvation from all the problems we've been evolving toward, but rather just salvation from the FOURTH REICH we'd been allowing to crystallize.  I'd worry more, now, about whether his inauguration is actually allowed to happen.  After that, I think I'd welcome a return to our previous standards of corruption.  Criticizing him seems to imply you'd have preferred the alternative.  Are you f*cking kidding?

Obama is no more than a continuation of your 4th Reich. Z is right on in his assessment. You and your army of zombies can't see the writing already on the wall. Nothing changes but the style.

Going along to get along is fine...until you get where they are taking you.

If voting actually changed anything they'd make it illegal.

All I was talking about was our transition to "war is cool" and "f*ck you peasants", and the change that Obama represents away from that purity.  And my evidence that he thinks about such things is that he talks about them.  If you think "four more years of Bush" was going somewhere other than Martial Law and declaration of Chancellor Somebody of the CIA, you're ignorant.  I do accept that Obama is merely a return to the corruption patterns of old -- but, relatively speaking, that's such a good thing, I can hardly talk to someone who doesn't understand it.  Perhaps you would have liked a theocracy of the ignorant.

Sorry but you missed the point.  I am a proud koolaide drinkin' Obamanite who is here to tell you Obama was a mouthpiece for a nation of believers and doers. We needed the man at the mic egging us on, challenging our existance to effect change.  We are the ones we have been waiting for? HELL YES.  We are airing up our tires, knocking on doors in our neighborhoods, turning a village into a pro active voting machine. We refuse to idly sit by and watch the world go down the tubes. We are creating community service programs funded by manpower, donations and dedication. It is about time we get off our asses and start doing something of value. Not only for our own personal benefit, but for our neighbors, our local businesses and our children's future.

Now get off your butt and go volunteer at a church or at the very least go air up your tires.

Volunteer at a church?  Help out your neighbor?

Sounds like what Bush was saying 8 years ago.

For that matter Bush senior...

Where were you from 2000 to 2008?

It is not to late to wake up and smell the Obamanation stench.

For a succinct, hard-hitting article on why we are headed into something possibly far worse than the Great Depression:

click here for a no less hard-hitting article on why pinning any hopes that Obama might be different (which I confess I still do albeit with many reservations):

click here list of picks thus far is precise, factual and basically damning. 

In short, even if Obama is for real, things are going to get far, far worse before they get better and meanwhile the same banksters who caused a collapse will be the ones buying everything in the real economy for peanuts; and frankly if that is what happens (and we will start to see this within a few months), then how can he be for real?

Looks to me like we are going to have a consolidation of power at the top with a token 'nice guy' presiding, and that at the same time there will be some heavy lifting to redistribute employment opportunities to a) prevent a revolution and b) more importantly, ensure there is a stable economy so that 'consumers' (which is all we are to them) keep buying products and services.

And that's if things go well.

Please pay attention to what is happening on healthcare reform.  You will see on every network a lovefest between the Democrats and the Health Insurance Association of America.  Lions grazing with the lambs?  I don't think so.  More like foxes guarding the henhouse.

The Obama/Baucus plan is exactly what the insurance industry has been praying for.  Millions of new customers forced by law to buy their product and a direct pipeline into the U.S. Treasury.  This is no different than the Wall Street bailout.

It really is time to wake up and realize that you don't not have a representative in this government.

Obama is destroying the economy before entering office with his beyond dumb economic ideas.

I can see by your comment something I did not realize, it will only get worse in other areas too.

    Give some One a chance if you like to gamble your last dime on baraka's just kidding about all that war industry expansion, but I'm too broke to play around.   I don't think I will go along to get along, at least not to where they are taking us!    And I think they are already lost and have been for a long, long time, in the middle of nowhere, left with nothing but a "generated event" in the VP's schedule for 2009.   A crosswired Ipod is not exactly the politics of hope the flock believed in.   The next thing you know they may need to do some vigorous herding and prodding to keep up the illusion of progress.     As Biden said, what they have in store will be so significantly unpopular that it will generate distrust, however, the people will be expected to just know public opinion is usually flawed.  There you have it, the "leaders" know what is best for everyone, not consensus.    Same as the neocons, duh.

    But I  do disagree with MickeyZ on one thing:   I think the Pentagon assets and income should decrease by the same amount as the citizens' stock in GM, AIG, C, WM, FNM, etc more like 90% than 75% just to keep things fair.  

    Other than that there is not a better poet in our time.   Everyone makes mistakes!  

    PS- got to end the Fed!
