Well I am glad I could get some intelligent posts on a subject. It was like the old days.
donj It’s true I lost in Hooker and in JFK but at least I gave it a shot. It was never about issues it was about the lemming approach. People voted for the top line it really didn’t matter who was on the top line people voted for the top line because it represented the party. The 3 sets of candidates took a lot of votes and entered the race to be spoilers. That being said you get what you vote for.
donj you got Bushitis I never mentioned Bush. Out of touch that’s a good one coming from a person that has a cyclops view of politics. You never answer any questions as they relate to Obama. You seem enthralled with my run for the council rather than the national issues.
Obama’s popularity is still up there but dropping. His policies are another issue. National Polls show his policies are in the tank from a polling point of view. He has the majority in both houses and still no health care. Unemployment is at 10-plus% and the list goes on and on. His treasury secretary Geitner is on the hot seat and will be out shortly because of the sweetheart deals he cut with Wall Street. I am sorry to say it is you that is out of touch. When you post try to talk about the issues like health care, jobs, the economy etc. You never address these issues.

Obama’s first day on the job as President he had waiting for him two wars and the country on the edge of a depression. What other American President ever had to deal with that? I’ll go to bed now and maybe when I wake up tomorrow someone will answer my question … not.

*** Almost forgot, the temp. win by the Republicans for the Mass. U.S Senate seat is just that, “TEMP.” Time will tell if the GOP can hold on to it or it goes back to the Democrats next full term election? Just like Russo beating Mulligan once Finch stepped down then losing to Musto in the full term elections. It only means something to the GOP but in reality it’s a small step & they have a ways to go! ***

*** What has Obama done ask T/C? First off he replaced Bush & beat the rest of the Republican Party not only as a rookie underdog but also as a man of color in a racially segregated nation & government. Now he’s wrestling with topics in America that were not created on his watch but also issues other presidents decided were not important enough to tackle while in office. Does he have all the right answers yet, “no” but who has after only a year in office with so many negative issues to address & so much political & right-wing media resentment! I believe it’s much to early yet to make the win, lose, or draw call on President Obama. Especially when many of our problems today took a while to incubate before surfacing to the American forefront. You sound like a disgruntled McCain voter (wink) who still hasn’t gotten over the Obama win and now cries foul @ every & anything the president’s attempting to do or not do. Rome & New York weren’t built in a day, especially in this type of economy! *** FORGETABOUTIT ***

If you weren’t so busy playing golf, you would have noticed all the good of the Bush years. Those years were so good you could afford to play all the golf you wanted.

Ron don’t you see that all the above mentioned is simply creating more boards and commissions? All of this has a price tag. Whatever the cost may be, remember that Obama approved the spending all on his own and in just one month’s time.
