		<description>Let&#039;s see,Obama:

 Voted for FISA(with telecom immunity),whenthe program was implemented under Bush the liberals wanted to impeach him over it.He was Trampling and tearing up the Constitution.
  Obama votes for it and everything is okay.

 Obama&#039;s advisors have stated that he will keep open the CIA&#039;s use of interrogation that was used under Bush.
 Like FISA,when Bush did it,it was a war crime.
Obama is for it and it will be an&quot;intelligent show of strength&quot;.

 Obama will not investigate(with the DOJ) the interrogation methods/CIA prisons and other intelligence that was involved in processing and gaining information from terrorist.
  Liberals have spent years running around in their orange suits and calling Bush a terrorist,torturer,and war criminal.
  Now like their &quot;Bush lied&quot; impeachment frenzy concerning pre-war intelligence,the democrats have the power to back up all their cries and propaganda by putting it to the test with facts and convicting with said facts,and it turns out to be just another idiotic liberal rant.
  What to do with all those orange jumpsuits and &quot;Bush is a war criminal&quot; shirts.

 Obama is going to keep the troops in Iraq based on conditions on the ground and advice from the military.Just like Bush has always said.
 (We will stand down as the Iraqis stand up).
The new status of forces agreement states that even at the deadline,if the troops need to stay,they will be asked to do so.
 Obama has gone from withdrawal in Jan.07,to withdrawal 16 months after he is elected,to staying based on conditions on the ground.

 Now Obama is keeping on a man(Gates) who has helped &quot;Bush&#039;s imperialistic blood for oil,Haliburton&#039;s illegal war machine that is bombing innocent civilians,and whose military is killing civilians in cold blood.&quot;

 Combining this with liberals being wrong about Iraq not being winnable,shia/sunni would never get along,going through the UN/EU is the answer(Rwanda,Darfur,oil for food,Lebanon,rampant sex crimes from peace keepers,Iran about to acquire a nuclear bomb etc...etc..etc.)  the eco-fundamentalist failure to get the world to buy into their &quot;carbon credits&quot; and the world is going to end if we don&#039;t stop having babies and keep cows from farting drivel,it is getting harder and harder to see where liberals can claim this &quot;intelligent elitist&quot; status they continually pat themselves on the back with.

 Liberals bowed down on their knees making Obama
their savior of all the world and end up getting
FOUR MORE YEARS OF BUSH.

 It is not going to take 20 years of history to show how right Bush was in so many areas,Obama is going to show that in just 4 short years.</description>

		<description>&quot;The One understands by keeping Gates he can still blame Bush for any fiascos under his watch while taking credit for any success.&quot;

Shiz - He doesn&#039;t need to keep Gates to adopt that strategy.</description>

		<description>&quot;The American voters watched in vain for an intelligent thought, saw none, and voted accordingly.&quot;

Yes, for Change. Change we can count on.  Very Intelligent.

BOT: Gates has done an admirable job.  The One understands by keeping Gates he can still blame Bush for any fiascos under his watch while taking credit for any success. Smart politics by the One -- a win-win.</description>

		<description>Did I see you say &quot;like a Bush Republican&quot;?
Obama as a Bush Republican?
Now that is nonsense!  Obama is or will be the brightest President we have had in decades as opposed to one of the dumbest we have had to put up with for the past 8 years.

This just in from a registered and disgusted Republican:

Bush and his right-wing extremist cronies in the Republican Party &quot;displayed&quot; their intelligence during the election and campaign. We saw pure Rove negative crappola and very few ideas on display by McCain and Palin.  The American voters watched in vain for an intelligent thought, saw none, and voted accordingly.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;that and he’s not *my* president. he belongs to the fools who voted for him.&lt;/blockquote&gt;That&#039;s a moronic argument that I would expect from people in Berkley had McCain won.

You don&#039;t like it, I&#039;m not thrilled by it, but he IS the President Elect, and he WILL be your President.

Suck it up, and cut the whiny crap.  There&#039;s work what needs doing if we&#039;re going to survive the coming years despite their best efforts.</description>
