To which I''ll add that I wasn''t and still am not, happy with his choice of Geithner. Bad choice out of the gate, IMO.Date: 3/21/2009 3:36:29 AM

I think I''m going to have to ditto Trillionaire on this one. She summarized it all very nicely.
100% percent happy??? Even the most liberal of members of Congress are not completely satisfied with him and starting to scratch their heads. Maxine Waters said he seemed "uninformed", and she was choosing her words carefully. If he can''t convince her that he''s on his game . . .Date: 3/20/2009 11:10:34 PM

not emotionally involved, never said he was better than koolaid, held my nose when i voted for him realizing that we the voters only get to vote for candidates that ''the powers that be'' have decided they can live with....yes, i''m that jaded: and, yes, i''d hold my nose and vote for him again. am i happy 100% with him after all of 60 days? no, and i never expected to be. but then i wasn''t 1% happy with the previous administration after 8 years.

reread my post: you''ll see there is a "no" followd by a ''and i never expected to be'' after the question...............so i''m not quite sure what you''re wanting to argue about.Date: 3/21/2009 7:47:07 AM

I do apologize. I did not see the ''no'' in your post; I didn''t read carefully enough. I''m sorry.Date: 3/21/2009 11:03:28 AM

Here is the way I see it. THe only people whose opinion is valid here are the swing voters (undecideds). The Republicans and the Democrats will defend their decision to the death and neither will give the guy a fair shot. And as a previous poster mentioned, he did inherit quite a mess. To expect him to solve in 60 days what the Bush A created in 8 years is a bit unrealistic, don''t you think?

''Then again, I find myself getting weepy STILL just thinking about how proud I am of this country to have voted for such an amazing man. I love him. I love him. I love him. He would pretty much have to roast and eat the future puppy to get me to question his decisions.''
I rest my case.

Sorry you had to hold your nose MZ but thank you, thank you, thank you for doing so! - many millions around the world had been holding their noses for 8 years so President Obama is a breath of fresh air. I hope he succeeds.

I''m getting kind of tired of having to say this, but it really isn''t your place to comment. It never was. I don''t really care how many support letters you''ll get in response to my post; your opinion still doesn''t matter when we discuss U.S. politics. It doesn''t. Really. I wouldn''t dream of commenting on your nation''s politics. It would be rude.
There. I''ve said my piece; let the Welcome Wagon do its thing. As it invariably will. Because we''re nothing if not trite here on ATW.

And to answer the original question, I don''t have buyer''s remorse.
It''s a good thing, too, because if I did, I''d have a LOT of Obama statues to return. And I''d be left with too much free time...praying to Obama 192 days is pretty time consuming. (For those wondering the significance of the number 192 in my religion, that''s the number of electoral votes Obama beat McCain by.)
LMAO!!!! Between this and swimmer''s "I love him I love him I love him" post I''m cracking up over here...Date: 3/21/2009 5:54:07 PM

Such a fun religion! I try to do stem cell research every day before breakfast, and then I think how awesome it is that I''m now trusted to make decisions about my own body (even though I''m incapacitated by ovaries), and then well, its a toss up between educating people about birth control, ensuring that prisoners have their constitutional rights, or making decisions based on research and science when it comes to the environment.
Such a busy day! See you at the Obama-cupcake making party later Thing!
