Less than a full day after an 'inclusive" inaugural speech . . . back to business as usual, the demonizing of one side by the other. Are you so certain that the Republicans are so easy to step down, aside, or asunder?

So you have no problem with Geithner "forgetting" to pay the back taxes until Obama tapped him for Treas. Sec?

I don't know why, but I have a problem with it. I guess I am a cracker racist @sshole too....

I see; when Bush was in office it's fine to attack Republicans, but now that Obama is in it's a new age of enlightenment? It's going to be a long four years if I'm not entitled to do what was done for the past eight.

I think you miss the point. The divissive "the Republicans/Democrats" or "right winger/ left winger" generalizations is what I object to. The recent election was a victory for the moderates, not the fringe wings of either side.

By that I assume that you mean giving the President approval ratings above 90%, as were enjoyed by George Bush in 2001. I also assume that you mean that Congress will do whatever the President wants, the press will report every claim made by the President without checking the facts, and that people will be accused of being anti-American if they criticize the President. Like it or not, that's the situation that was presented to George Bush.

If we have a repeat of the last 8 years, there will be nothing left of the American middle class.
