The Walton & Johnson show is going to be a riot tomorrow morning with this topic.

I'm not sure just how good a choice he was for the people of his state. Let's hope he tries to properly represent them.

There are tons of intelligent comedians I would rather see as Senators than Norm Coleman, that mouth breather.

Democracy sucks when power becomes concentrated. Like legislation coming from the executive, and party-politics putting legislative power into the hands of only the most senior.

And when a charismatic charlatan sweeps power and alienates the rest of the country.

LOL, the man isn't even half a year into his Presidency, and he's a charlatan.

I wasn't necessarily talking about Obama en toto- it's happened with many a charismatic leader.

But yea, he came in with massive promises of change, and he's shown himself to be just another politician. Charlatan: one who gains fame or power through pretense or deception.

I'm more worried than bitter.

It is. The stress of studying for the bar and having a kid in 6 months put me in the hospital a few nights ago because of non-stop heart palpitations. I have always gotten them from time to time but they literally would not stop for 45 minutes before I went to get an EKG just to be safe. I'm fine, just stress. I also think the dinner I ate was packed full of MSG which put me into a weird rhythm.

Taking PA? Or NY? Or what?

I'm telling you, trusts and wills are killing me. :/

If a dog takes a shit on your floor in front of the TV, how long does it have to lay there before it is ok to call it shit? The man is in the most powerful job in the world, he knew it going in, he wanted it bad enough to say and do whatever he needed to in order to get elected. He gets no pass at any time, from day one, he should have been and should be on his A game. All the way up to the day we kick is Marxist ass out. If he can't take the heat, then he shouldn't have the job. If people can't do better than just being apologists for his "inexperience" and are disapointed in how he has shown his more true colors, then maybe they should not have elevted him and maybe some of us Conservative whackos aren't as misguided or ignorrant as many people wanted to claim. The man is a Marxist from the word go, always has been, always will be and his ideas and policies are already on the road to bankrupting the crap out of this country. Where are the jobs from the stimulus/pork package, we were suposed to see results in 6 months?
