Eileen, what do you mean “both” sides. There is one party rule and they just pretend to be two parties. That way we won’t notice that they are “both” actually the Socialist Party.

JR, us non-rednecks don’t know these things.

The World Championship Barbecue Contest is in Memphis in May, Jr.

I don’t get this “more pork than Memphis in May” reference.

Is this when they put lipstick on pigs like I heard so much about during the election?

I guess that since both major parties are guilty of overspending, wasteful spending, and raising deficits, both sides get to continually point out how poorly each side is doing.

It is a fact that the debt went up more during Bush’s administration then any previous administration.
While Democrats had congress for the last two years of the administration, I do not believe they were in control for the majority of Bush’s term (correct me if I am wrong, I sometimes am).

AFTER Obama’s first term, lets see what our total debt is. Lets not judge too quickly.

IF it has not gone down at all (considering he has said he will cut it in half) I will Not support him, or vote for him, in a future election.
(well I didn’t vote for him, or for McCain this time .)

IF the debt has not gone down, and he chooses to run for a 2nd term, he will loose my respect.
Because I get the feeling that he won’t run again, if he fails to do what he thinks he can do for America.

Did I hear him mention something about transparency in government?

Uh, they are being very transparent. We can see right through their words and actions.

See…you were trying to be logical and think that he meant transparency = upfront. Heh. He spoke like a true lawyer and politician.

Good to have ya back, JO!

Eric- Duh

Elm- Duh

I’ve read before that America actually has invested more money and etc to “greener” energy than any other country. But I guess Obama won’t mention that, will he?

I knew that would be understood here, those lib blogs didn’t get it at all.

Eric- were you referring to his statement about the auto industry, saying something about not letting down the country that invented the automobile? Technically that IS France, but usually the honor goes to Benz of Germany.

What a moron. And they thought Bush was an idiot!

Then again, maybe he meant just that. Scary.

Also noticed he lectured us that around the world, so many other nations are greener than we are when it come to energy. He skipped France as they have a very large number of nuke plants.
