Now that's something you would never see Bush or any other politician do.
Admit on camera that they screwed up....

Finally openness in the White House.


Unfortunately I think some folks see that as weakness. I don't, I like that kind of directness. I didn't really expect his first appointments to go all that smoothly, he had a good run but it was bound to hit bumps.


Especially since most in Washington are corrupt.
Everyone acts like finding someone to fill a cabinet position, without a blemish on their record, is easy.
Its not, and the task is exasperated by the promise Obama made to keep the government open.
He wasn't these peoples accountant, and he didn't try to hide their faults like so many before him.
Esp Bush, who lied about everything and hid behind executive privilege as a way to close the blinds on what was happening in his administration.


I agree, and unfortunately because he is not willing to hide things he's going to have a difficult time with people that think this is a sign he is corrupt as well, instead of the opposite. The more people that go down they will blame him instead of the people going down. If that made sense.

McCain and Palin did a good job on the american people with thier constant drum beat about associations, it's still a sore point to the point that every time someone goes down it will be like this.

I can't wait until this is over and everyone that is going to be appointed is in office so we can actually see how things are going to work. Anyway I hope that made some sense, it's late and I am a bit tired.




well it'll never be over if he continues to attempt to appoint tax cheats to cabinet seats and high offices..

you really are ok with racists ministers and burn-out 60's radicals having the ear of the president??

Bush earned his poor approval rating.



So has the currently seated congress, about whom I'm far more concerned than the "Annointed One" and whose approval rating is at historical lows and only continues to sink...



Approval ratings with whom? He's doing fine so far as I can see.

The percentage that don't like him, well there will always be a percentage that aren't happy with a particular president. When you use words like anointed one you give yourself away. I prefer to remain optimistic yet cautious.

So which ones are your representatives?

The only reason they are there is because the people of your state put them there.
The rest of the country cant clean up your mess. Only you can!

What are you going to do about it?
That's the question you should be asking your self and your neighbors.


That's the question all of us should be asking ourselves.

I think he's confused Bush's ratings with Obama's.

Hutchinson, Neugebauer, and Cornyn.

Generally happy with all of them. I get each of their newsletters and I communicate with their offices fairly regularly when the mood stikes and the need arises.

who are yours, smart guy??

None of mine have driven drunk off bridges and killed people.

And I was talking about Congress' approval ratings being in the toilet..

oH so you are one of those completely taken in by the McCain Palin rhetoric? Oh well won't get anywhere arguing with that kind of mindset.

But I will say something that I have thought about when all that Rev Wright stuff was going on.. What the hell did whites expect from a black Reverend that had seen more than he cared to see of how whites treated blacks... No he didn't handle himself well, but I certainly understood his rage. And please, whites discussing who's racist is pretty funny considering the percentages of damage done to one group.

I think after what blacks experienced at the hands of whites, Rev Wright's comments were tame.

And as for burnt out radicals you still don't get it do you? Well I won't waste my time with you, because McCain and Palin already burnt your's.

there are two n's in 'annointed'


Anointing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anointing of David, from the Paris Psalter, 10th century (Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris).

To anoint is to pour or smear with perfumed oil, milk, water, melted butter or other substances, a process employed ritually by many religions and races.....


Are you sure there are two "n"s?

My State just went to Obama.
The first time since Jimmy Carter we went with a Dem.

That speaks volumes for the strength of Obama, and Im kinda proud of that.

Esp considering we have one of the highest military pop in America. If not the highest.

beggin your pardon but I had been made aware of and offended by the Wright/Ayers thing more than a year before the primaries even got started and near two years before anyone outside Alaska knew who Sarah Palin was.

yes yes, I know I misspelled anointed.

I didn't draw any attention to the fact that you misspelled it. But... you went out of your way to point out that you thought I did. Interesting.

Then it's quite obvious you are easily offended by insignificant matters. Hard to believe you fell for the tactics....
