Whew!

We certainly dodged a bullet by not electing the Republican presidential ticket.














Did you hear about this guy, John Thain? He was CEO of Merrill Lynch, a top backer of G.O.P. candidate, John McCain, and was widely talked of as a contender for a top White House economic position should his man win on Election Day.

Instead of being hired to serve in a position of great honor, Thain has been fired in disgrace. Shortly after Merrill was taken over by Bank of America, Thaine was outed for spending 1.2 million dollars on a Merrill office renovation, $87,000 for a rug and $1,400 for a garbage can.

. . . A garbage can?

Thaine's last minute spending frenzy of 4 billion dollars in bonuses to his friends -- after having lost 15 billion in the last quarter -- is now being investigated by the NY AG office. I'm no fan of Geithner, but can you imagine how much worse it could be if McCain/Palin would have won?

Although not perfect, I'm all for this change.

70% of the American people think President Barack Obama is doing a good job and that he's off to a good start. Unfortunately I must live in one of those dark pools of negativity that think they dwell in a pocket of the "real America." What a laugh!

White picket fences and manicured lawns cannot disguise your hatred and bigotry for our new president.

You have thrown every thing you can at him . . . Muslim! Terrorist! Not a citizen!, False Messiah! Flubbed the oath! Didn't swear on a Bible!

Have you no shame? Don't we need this man to succeed? Don't we as a country need him to NOT fail?

The mongrels want to shred him to pieces -- already nipping at every perceived misstep. Take a deep breath, count to 10, and ask yourself: "Do I really want this President to fail?"
