..... , et al. are quaking in their proverbial boots. And they have good reason. All they can do is come up with these asinine excuses to get up there and make total fools out of themselves. They have treated PO like a dog for 4 years. I lived down in the deep south a few years during the time when Jesse Jackson was running in the primaries for POTUS. There wasn't a day that went by that someone wasn't vocal about the fact that he was running. At the grocery store, gas station, at the kid's soccer games, on the radio. I didn't understand it, as I knew he would probably not become the candidate for the Dems. I just could not understand all the noise and why no one knew what I knew. Weeeeelllllllll. I finally figured it out one day when I took the kids to the swimming pool. It was a white-only pool! That's when I figured it all out. The whites in the deep south were scared to death that a black man might become president. They knew how they had treated blacks in the past, and they just assumed that a black man would behave the way they had, that he would be vengeful towards them in some way. Anyway, I never took my kids back to that pool.

Yeah, the bigots in the Senate are getting restless, and they're starting to sound real ugly. But like I said above, they have reason. Second term Obama is going to be allot different than first term Obama. He more or less told them yesterday "between the lines" to BRING IT ON!
