A little something for the Obama bashers that say he's not doing enough fast enough...
My brother works for NASA, he has a little sign over his desk -

"You can have it RIGHT,
Or you can have it NOW,
But you can't have it RIGHT NOW."

I'll take right thank you.

1. inaction is one thing -- it's the "wrong actions" actively taken by our "change" administration
that are the most disconcerting...

6. Really? Are the dead wolves being "faked out?"
To use but one example of atrocious environmental policy....

2. To get something done right, you actually need to start...
Paying lip service is not starting.

Having departments under your control arguing against gays and lesbians is not a start.

I am not saying that everything the man has done is wrong, so don't think that I'm condemning him.

I am, however, saying, that the man is a politician. I've learned not to expect honesty from them anymore.

7. My first thought for those folks is, "What have you accomplished this year?"
It's so easy to sit back on your swivel chair and criticize, but I wonder how many would be able to follow Obama around one entire day without being a babbling idiot by dinnertime?

Give the guy some room to breathe. Sheesh!

10. Well being a babbling idiot has certain purposes in some contexts
Even less conventional social styles can be used to good effect in some circumstances.

But that's probably not what you meant, I am just defending the babbling idiot style when used properly.

15. Terrible argument.
I may not know how to be President, but I don't know how to fix cars either. That doesn't mean that if smoke is pouring from under the hood I can't tell something isn't going well.

11. Oh, cool. Now we're going to run government
and decide on the fate of people and nations by the words on a little plastic sign made in China and sold at a souvenir bait shop in Kemah.

18. Writing off people who disgree with this as "bashers" is a mistake.
