Ah, the Fox News "fair and balanced" strategy.
Your support of Bush was "qualified", my dislike was "knee-jerk hatred"...in essence- you're intellectual, I'm not.

Ah, I see Obama's been good for you already - that post was only knee-jerk.

Nice try.

He's got a point like.

Hey, don't get me wrong, feel free to sing hosannas to the man if you like.

See there's you with the emotive stuff again.

Just accept that some people in your country are pleased that someone with similar political views to them has been elected.

I think I can speak for the rest of the World when I say that if the choices for most powerful man in the World are Bush or Obama we'll give Obama a wee shot.

When I say a wee shot I obviously amn't suggesting you kill another one of your leaders.

Though there isn't a man or woman amongst them who can claim to know the slightest about what those views are, I will assure you I do accept it; that's the way elections have worked, all my life.

Where is the caveat that says I have to like it.

Just for the record, the sum total of his policies is:

1. Change

2. Hope

3. More of the first two.

4. Talk to, and negotiate with, anyone at all

5. Invade Pakistan

6: Big dose of socialism/communism

7: Bankrupt the coal industry

8. Big bux to fight global warming

9: Confiscatory tax levels beginning at:

a: 250K

b: 200K

c: 150K

d: 120K

e: 42K

f: pick'em

There really wasn't anything else on the menu, that I could see.

Oh, and lest I forget-

10: Less Bush.

I wonder why you mentioned "Bush" rather than "McCain" as the choice to be made.

Curious...or perhaps not.

Ah.

Good one.

Boothe, Czolgosz, Guiteau, Oswald, Sirhan, and Ray - all well-known conservatives.

EDIT-

Just for the record, none of you has a case of Bush-fatigue exceeding my own.

I mentioned Bush because he's the current one. Tho' I do take your point that it was kind of a mental way of looking at it.

I think if the choices were McCain and Bush, McCain would be in by a landslide.
