As I move from CNN to Talkingpointsmemo to Yahoo finance...just incredible.

I, for one, am going to allow the new administration room and time to maneuver and plan. This appears to be an unprecedented mess, thanks to eight years of you know who.

Must get off of the laptop and get some air....

1. Yes, I put my trust in President elect Obama to stear us to calmer waters

not myself or anyone else for that matter.

3. I put my trust in Obama too.

the guy has alot to clean up and only if he got a earlier start.

8. Obama gives me something I haven't had in a while and that is HOPE

I'm a sixty year old grand dad that worries about my grand kids, all of our kids actually. I've already lived most of my life and enjoyed it now it is time to put forth the efforts it will take to make this all right for the ones who come after us.

2. "the biggest shit sandwich the world has even seen"

An interesting article here that lays out what may be ahead of us, but I prefer to remain optimistic. Democrats always straighten out Repuke messes, even HUGE ones.

5. inherited a hoopdee government

. . . expected to make it brand spanking new . . . should take awhile. Power doesn't concede willingly.

6. When the Republicans nominated McCain, I figured they were actually hoping that

a Democrat would win the election. Given the awful mess the new President will walk into (on all fronts), it will be a lot easier for them to be on the sidelines carping and sniping.
