Ay, Bob, well, I for one have been surprised every time Barack Obama has done a turnaround on issues like this (during the primary season he was good on state secrets and transparency issues). He had me fooled by his good words. Maybe it’s because he seemed so sincere when campaigning. I guess that’s what makes him an effective campaigner.

Tom, we need to rapidly replace All the business as usual policies? On EVERY front? In the economy? OK, we could get rid of the penny. But make a dollar worth 23 nickels? Or it’s OVER?

Yeah, I’m joking, but sometimes it’s really hard to tell the difference between a dollar-worth-23-nickels silly change and a “sustainable, fair, and logical” change. How do we know the difference?

Being a centrist uaed to be a good thing. Now, during this crisis of existence for the U.S. we need to rapidly replace all the existing “business as usual” policies that got us into this mess (on EVERY front: energy, climate change, the economy and how it’s run and regulated, lobbyists influence, the “wars”, etc.) with ones that are sustainable, fair, and logical – or it’s OVER. We don’t have any more time or money to try it again!

It’s a bummer, but I’m not surprised. I tried telling all my friends before the election that I suspected Obama was a centrist, not a progressive, but no one wanted to hear it. Mmmmmm, Kool-Aid.

Ya we should get Bush.

But it’s hard to focus on him now that we have a NEW enemy in the White House: Obomber!

We might be witnessing a new “new deal” and a reinvention of the fascistic rule of FDR.

Yeah, and if he doesn’t approve a PROSECUTOR for the Bush/neocons we’ll be in the same sinking ship run by thieving fascists.

Yep, I already hate this guy.

He’s a significantly greater threat than Osama Bin Laden ever was.

What? I’m sorry. Did you say something? I was busy watching a re-run of The Facts Of Life on Hulu.
