Obama is actually attempting to change the Social POLARITY of America
From Negative to Positive...

He wants to promote building, healing, caring, sharing, etc....the Positive aspects of HUMANITY

Can he do it....but of course if there is enough support....and it seems there is a massive thirst for these positive things mentioned....

Them Pubs got a lock on Neg...thus they have fucked themselves into a corner....The Pub Party is Passe.

2. I think you're right
I just hope that people stick with Obama when he asks them to sacrifice for the greater good. When he asks them to give things up now for a brighter future and that they don't succumb to the politics of fear, hate and blame if the going gets tough.

3. Does that mean
he's going to cut the military budget and put a stop to corporate welfare?

Forget the attitudinal stuff I want tangible action for economic justice.

4. Can he do it....but of course if there is enough support
That is the key, will the American people and elected officials support him?

5. Something has been coming to me over the course of maybe the last...
6 months or so.... Now please keep in mind that I am agnostic... But the bible makes mention of good and evil... I seriously have been thinking that Republicans meet that litmus test of Evil and Democrats are Good...

13. The Bible teaches that
we are ALL sinners. It also posits that evil exists, and that the forces of evil will mericlessly attack any genuinely good impulse -- that is the desire for truth, compassion and justice.

In my world view Obama is an imperfect human being who is humbly -- yet confidently and cabably -- striving for truth, compassion and justice, and that he poses a profound threat to the status quo. I expect the furies to rain down on him with a fierceness that will produce shock and awe.

So buckle up, mes braves, because we are in for a battle of cosmic proportions. It is a battle for survival on many levels, and one that we must win.

15. Indeed, mon ami -- after all,
the genius of our nation is the peaceful transfer of power. If we lose that, we lose it all -- n'est ce pas?

Karma, or whatever rules this Universe is up to the task..... Damn, we need a big break here... I so remember vividly turning on the TV that morning of 911 and watching the evil that came to bare.... It's time for some good fortune after 8 years of this crap.

6. Yeah, but then some asshole like Hagee wills say that
doing stuff like that is of the Anit-christ and freak a bunch of morons out, never considering that Jesus would want these things (building, caring, sharing, etc) done.
