Gary, much of my own personal yammering -- kevetching, bemoaning, lamenting -- began right after the 2000 election, when it appeared that the guy who won Florida and thus got those electoral votes that put him over the top wasn't the guy who took the oath of office. <br><br>I'd like to think that I and many other people kept yammering -- protesting, objecting, crying "foul" at every illegal, immoral, unethical turn -- for the full eight years following. I consider that a noble occupation in response to the poisoning of the American wellspring that took place during that time.<br><br>Keely<br>http://keely-prevailingwinds.blogspot.com/<br><br><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">From: jampot@roadrunner.com<br>To: idahovandal1@live.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2009 19:23:11 -0800<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Obama<br><br>

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>
