We elected a man not a messiah
I'm proud of my man President Obama. He's gonna have to make some compromises, but hey that's politics.

1. I agree. And a presidency is not static, nor is each decision irrevocable and
terminal.

2. Who thought we elected a messiah? How do you find one to
elect?

3. Proud of President Obama too.
"Messiah" is a derogatory term used only by Republicans.

9. How so?
Should I have said shot? Because I think that Gandhi was killed by a fellow Hindu, who was upset at Gandhi's peace with the Muslims.

10. Really?
Edited on Tue Mar-24-09 11:53 PM by Starry Messenger
The Messiah was crucified...


I mean, so was Spartacus and a few other Roman era miscreants but "crucified" is usually associated with all things Jesus. Just a thought.

11. Just a nasty way to go
It's just a phrase that people are familiar with as a brutal way to die. Guess I wasn't thinking about the correlation.

14. Your audience in GLBT not to your liking?
So you decide to take your dog and pony show here?

I hope you have your asbestos thong on, honey, you are about to get charred.
