<DIV>While I admire your purported willingness to cut GW slack in his early
going many, including a few from this forum, started their yammering well
before his oath was given, kept it up incessantly through all eight years,
and haven't managed to let it go even now. To be of the opinion that many of
these automatons are a might caught up in the wonderfulness that is Barry does
not seem to me to be beyond the pale.</DIV>

As one who voted for President Obama, a couple of things. Some on the
right insist on calling Obama voters "Obots", Mr. Obama himself as "The One",
the "Obamessiah", etc. Claptrap. I simply preferred the
Obama/Biden ticket to the McCain/Palin ticket. I was not, and am not,
under any illusions that Barack Obama is "The One", that he is the picture of
perfection, and will cure all the nation's and society's ills. Is he
flawed? Sure. Will he do things I don't like? Undoubtedly. Will he do
things that the Rush Limbaughs and Ann (shudder) Coulters of the world won't
like? No duh. But he's not even been in office a week yet.
Even I, being (apparently) evil in the eyes of Mr. Limbaugh and Ms. Coulter
because of my moderately liberal leanings, was willing to give George W. Bush
a chance this early in his first term. Oh, and completely off-topic,
great win last night Idaho! Next up in the Dome Jan. 29th, Boise
State...... Carl Westberg Jr.<BR><BR>
