Can never have too much hope

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
in before the republican reference to him being "the new messiah"
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a robot foot stomping on a human face -- forever."
Here is a translation of his inagural speech.
"We are increasing foreign aid. We are increasing social programs. We will lay down our arms. We will roll over to any confilct because we are a bunch of pussified nutjobs. Please world, walk all over us."
Interesting translation, i got none of that from his speech at all. -shrugs-

what, never heard of the term disappointment?
Barack has managed to piss his own party the hell off with his recent actions. Prior to the election, his voting record nailed him as a hardcore Democrat that made Bush look like a centrist. I can pretty much guarantee you that if the democratic party leaders knew then what they know now, Mccain or Clinton would have taken oath today. Now, there are only a very few things I know for sure about him. 1.) he's part African 2.) he was raised in an islamic country 3.) he's enough of a politician to fool his own party long enough to nominate and elect him. That's it, most of the other things I thought I knew were proven false, and I cannot think of a single person other than him on the planet who honestly knows a great deal more about what he is going to do.
This man could be our best hope, or he could be our worst nightmare.

Because you're his target audience.

Indefinitely. Rush Limbaugh is taking his frustration out on them with a taser.

so what your saying is i should never have hope because disappointment is bad?
maybe i should be more paranoid about him?

Strange, I never heard him say anything remotely close to that either.
This website is a safe haven for trolls and haters. I'm done with this pathetic site.
For the 1 or 2 people that still watch Fox News, they should be dissecting his oath and whining about it for the next 4 years.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
Interesting. I believe it was 52 million who voted against him. How did that suddenly come down to 1 or 2?
And this just amazes me that there are people like yourself who will not dissect his speech and discover agendas within his words.
"To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders"
"The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good."
"Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint."
Paragraph 1 - Expansion of foreign aid.
Paragraph 2 - Expansion of social programs and welfare.
Paragraph 3 - Pacification. Disarmament. Retreat. Surrender.
They are quite obvious. If you cannot see the messages in his speech, you are either completely oblivious or simply ignoring it for whatever reason.

Look to the future and hope for the best is all we can do now, it's well be a hell of a lot better than 8 more years of Bush in office, we will all see what happens in the coming months. Hope and faith is what we must all have now that our country can be restored and our image in the world shine again.
A kick in the tenders would be better than some of Bush's policies. However, it is neither desirable or wanted. Something different isn't always the best.

Paragraph 1 - Expansion of foreign aid. Bush aswell has done allot in that area, so is helping the world a bad thing? of course settle first with your own country before expanding, but wasn't most of his speech about what you as Americans can acommplisch together?
Paragraph 2 - Expansion of social programs and welfare. you got that out of the second paragraph?......amazing......really.....sorry to say.
Paragraph 3 - Pacification. Disarmament. Retreat. Surrender.....surrender, so trying to make peace equels surrender?
They are quite obvious. If you cannot see the messages in his speech, you are either completely oblivious or simply ignoring it for whatever reason. Well perhaps you just need to actualy try to understand what is said without the conspiricy mindset
America Gratz on your 44th President, don't expect miracles, I am sure you won't, but never ever give up hope in what people can accomplish, isn't Obama in a way proof of that.
which can give people reason to have hope even those who lost it. And yet some people feel that's a bad thing.....

I sure do. You should see the crap it spews out when it translates your posts.
Fox is actually the highest rated TV News Network mainly because there is no other source for right wing agenda in news. You have the other news networks that are liberally biased criticizing clips of Fox News which is probably something worse to watch.
I also am relatively appeased with the fact Obama's rescent actions have been very Bush-like.
There is no "conspiracy mindset". It is deciphering the agenda of the President through his speeches. If I was to say Obama and McCain simply ran to steal the Hope Diamond, well, that would be a conspiracy mindset and a humorous episode of South Park.
As for your Bush comment - your point? Do you believe simply because I do not agree with Obama's potential policies that I support Bush and his?
I'm willing to give the guy a chance and prove me wrong, but that doesn't change my negative view of his proposed policies during his campaign and his obvious ones during his speech.
Some people here just want to suck the hope and promise out of everything
/sigh
but I guess that's normal on these boards =/
