Why, isn't he going to walk on water and feed the poor with a basket of fish while smiting the muslim terrorists and equalizing poor and rich into one great lump of humanity?

/I keed I keed, of course he will do all that and buy my groceries and put gas in my car.

/I keed I keed, of course he will do all that and buy my groceries and put gas in my car.

Gas? Gas? No true believer would say that.

He'll have to work pretty hard to one-up the miserable shiatstain we're about to get rid of.

Friggin' Obama - worst President since George W. Bush.

The people who have high expectations from his administration are the same idiots who elected him.

His mouth wrote a check his ass can't cash. That isn't all bad. I think he is going to find out the realities of the job and will have to revisit his positions. He'll be a hell of allot more like W than his supporters will ever admit. The line starts below.

Malbar: For the record, I still think Obama was a better choice than McCain, but he isn't even president yet and he's already failed to live up to a lot of the "hope and change" rhetoric his campaign and fanboys were spewing throughout the election.

How does one do that before they become President?

Personally, I'm amazed he wasn't able to live up to the ridiculous straw man that the right built for him.

If he can form a sentence that contains real words found in a real dictionary, I'll be happy. If he can travel around the world and not leave the impression that America's IQ is in the low 50's, I'll be happy.

He'll have to work pretty hard to one-up the miserable shiatstain we're about to get rid of.

TFA says the people didn't have high expectations of Bush. If in four or eight years half the people think ex-President Obama did a good job, he'll be as big a disappointment as Bush.

Phil Herup: The people who have high expectations from his administration are the same idiots who elected him...

...says a two-time Bush voter, without apparent irony.

I can't wait to put one of these on my Durango!

being optimistic means the terrorists have won. get back to the malls with all the money you don't have america, spend like there's no tomorrow. the USSA is your new reality. just be apathetic and cynical. be grateful for the bones you're thrown.

You people forget the power of the media. They fellate him at every opportunity, and they're not letting him fail.

Bad news? What bad news? The messiah has arrived. Free puppies and unicorns and steak and BJ's for all! Hallelujah! Praise Obama!!

Perception is reality.

So far he has done as well as I hoped, although some of his Cabinet nominations have been a little rocky.

The Geithner tax debacle hurt a little, but the public barely noticed and the economy is so effed that even the Republicans didn't raise a fuss because he's probably the best candidate for the job anyway.

Holder was hurt by the Marc Rich issue but everyone already knew about that going in, and the only ones holding a grudge are old school Republicans like Arlen Specter who are still butthurt about the Clinton era.

The worst was Bill Richardson, but Commerce is a pretty low-profile job anyway.

Other than that the transition has been going pretty well. Let's see what happens next, mmmkay?

/facepalm

I love it when people start to talk about the carnage Bush has left in his wake while on his drunken ride through American politics and the Republicans speak up and say we need to focus on the future not the past.

Then 30 seconds later they start sputtering but, but, but, Bill Clinton!

It's tougher than it looks to be a socialistic Muslim terrorist who hands out unicorn ponies and rainbows.

/Only wants a unicorn pony if it's extra scrumptious with A1 sauce.

Funny how the "empty suit who never says anything but hope and change" suddenly made too many promises....

Perception is reality.

I like this narrative you're setting up, because even if the next eight years are a resounding success you'll be able to claim that they actually weren't and that it was all the media's doing for creating that perception.

mferris: He'll have to work pretty hard to one-up the miserable shiatstain we're about to get rid of.

Just came here to say THIS.

This is true.

I expected Bush to be functionally retarded, completely incompetent and totally hostile to anything that wasn't integral to his backwards and cramped worldview.

I was certainly not disappointed.

By contrast, all the right wing fear-mongers who are convinced that Obama will be some sort of gun-grabbin', gay-lovin', wealth-redistributin' librul nightmare will be sorely disappointed.

Link (new window)

Even a pumpkin as president would do less damage than Bush. That he has so energized Americans, so much so that he even carried Omaha, shows that he will be inspirational, and that will activate America.s true strength.

It's spelled "disappointed", submittard.

Back to your basement.

Doesn't say much for the intellectual credibility of you people that you judge his presidency before it even begins.

So you are saying that he will do all of those things you listed?

You mean he won't give me a unicorn and a tree that grows lollipops?
I am already disappointed.

Honestly, the guy isn't in office yet. Come back to me in at least 100 days after swearing in and then you can start The Great Whinefest of '09. He needs some time to screw up as badly as you think he will.

Yeah, his campaign slogans was "HOPE". And you're right, the polls show that people are indeed hopeful that we'll emerge from this national nightmare. So Mission Accomplished so far on that front.

EABOD, right wingers. You've farked us over long enough. 83% of Americans approve of Obama's performance in the transition. Have fun being in that 17% of miserable butthurt whiners who'd rather see America fail than admit they were wrong about Obama.

Phil Herup: So you are saying that he will do all of those things you listed?

no you farking mongoloid, that's exactly what he DIDN'T say.

Thorndyke Barnhard: Doesn't say much for the intellectual credibility of you people that you judge his presidency before it even begins.

I don't know what you're talking about but either way I'm going to be calling my local congressman thrice daily until he finally implements impeachment proceedings against Barack HUSSEIN Obama II.

Looks like you had a small typo, Milliways.



Glad I could be of service.

One President at a time. Even today, Obama hasn't made one single decision as President. Bush still has time to orchestrate some type of clusterfark before Tuesday.

How anyone can point to Obama as being a failure before he has had a single day in office is absolutely moronic.

He is projecting a trillion dollar deficit. You have to spend $31,000 a second to reach a trillion in a year. This means that your children, your grandchildren and your great grandchildren will be paying for the folly of your vote.

0bama is going to finish what Bush started. Welcome to the United Socialist States of Amerika.

(During the amount of time you took to read this post, the debt added another $930,000. Your great grandchildren will love you for saddling them with 80% tax rates (and they will be poor))

Realistic hope is one thing----the picture the media is painting is messianic, and that's simply not possible. Obama can't possibly be everything they want him to be. I hope Obama can steer the ship well, even better than the former occupant, but I'm under no delusions. We're in a world of shiat, and even the great and powerful Obama is puzzled. He would have to shiat rainbows and pee Amber Bock to live up to the hype.

haha ok you're redeemed. :)

Gosh you righties sound bitter.

Musicology101: How anyone can point to Obama as being a failure

Easy. He's a Libtard.

This country will soon understand the mistake it made by NOT electing a war hero president and the celebrated governor of the largest state in the Union vice-president.

And my unicorn will be powder blue with racing stripes!

Bama has some Serious competition from the turd who left the whitehouse on friday. Bama is good, but i doubt he's THAT good. Bush can rest assured in knowing that he will be remembered as the worst president in 100 years.

congrats!!

Well trust me retard, nobody would be "dissapointed" if he did NOT do those things.

Get a brain.

Hey, dumbass, how could one be disappointed in them? They never took office. You missed the point, as usual.

I feel sorry for you. You're on here all day, every day.

Get a blow-up doll, for Christ's sake.

SouthernManDunWrong: 0bama is going to finish what Bush started. Welcome to the United Socialist States of Amerika.

I guess this is the type of folk that will be dissapointed[sic].

Eat_At_Milliways: the celebrated governor of the largest state in the Union vice-president.

Okay, even I bit on the sticker (although "Durango" made me suspicious), but HUSSEIN gave it way and then the Palin ref. pretty much sealed the deal.

Eat_At_Milliways: I can't wait to put one of these on my Durango!

the sad reality, RePug is that Obama will do well his first term and be reelected. wanna' know why?
He's Competent. he's good. he's smart. i'm afraid you and you crook republican friends will have to wait until at least 2016 for your first ray of hope......
enjoy the wait. i know i will.

Eat_At_Milliways: This country will soon understand the mistake it made by NOT electing a war hero president

I agree, Bush shouldn't have had a second term.

/what? they are only war heros if they agree with your idealogy? Well, I'll be...

LOL i know Obama is good, but i don't think he can work miracles. (:
