I could not believe it back then. That the Democrats had painted them selves into a corner where all they had to choose their candidate from was the FIRST, black or female it didn't matter much, they were both equally hopless.

It probably wouldn't have happend, if their candidate had not virtually had to win. They would have had to stand someone with some savvy if the other lot had a decent candidate. I suppose that's another thing to blame Bush for, setting the stage for this real catastrophe. Then they make it worse, & bring hillery in as well.

Talk about yes minister. It is as if the nation had decided to commit suicide

you loons choose today of all days to launch your braindead attacks on obama. your timing is impeccable.

Just stating the facts man, just the facts.

Hasbeen, the facts man, observes only a savvy white man capable of leading the US, and without the burden of HILLERY, probably owing to her ravine-ous behaviour, that risks precipice-it-is brinkmanship.

Hurtling toward suicide, perhaps the US could take Hasbeen and Leigh with them, and reduce the cost of the ordnabce, along with the retiring of some significantly pestiferous emissions.

The US is a great county and Barack Obama is a great President.

But I agree that the spiteful little Leigh should disappear from OLO - you would be doing us all a favour.

Obama passed his health care bill. He's taken a firm stand with Israel over is illegal settlements - hence Ariel's low-brow attack. Obama is so much better as a President than Bush.

Amazing.

Obama comes in with the economy in dire straits, and promptly takes steps to save it, at least so far.

He sets a date for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, where his hick predecessor had got them so bogged down.

He comes to power with one of the worst health systems in the affluent world, and today he can offer health coverage to thirty million more people.

He is standing up to the bullies and warmongers in Israel.

He has a rag-tag bunch of ratbags and fruitcakes snapping at him, making almost treasonable demands and remarks, trying to make their own country ungovernable.

Then we get a few armchair ratbags out here having a go at him. I'm inclined to agree with the usually delusional Ngarmada that there be racists in our midst. It all must be so easy, ay ?
