I'm with ya man... gotta prove yourselfAs an citizen of the United States, I see no need for these imperial shows.
Just swear them in and get on with business. History will provide any congratulations if they are needed.
Indeed it will. Nothing wrong with hope either, but I want to see actual results before I get too excited. And if I do see real results -- not just media spin and talking heads saying so -- then you may see me at the front of that congratulations reception lineHistory will provide any congratulations if they are needed.
Frankly, I expected more. I mean, geez, as of right now he's been President for almost 11 hours, and he still hasn't fixed the economy, brought peace to the Middle East, or sent me an economic stimulus check. What, does he think we've got all day to wait around for him to solve all our problems?!?as a yank living in canada i am pleased with this new president so far.
On the positive side, I can't do much better than echo your thoughts Guy. I too hope for the best and feel like we've turned a corner in so many ways.It truly was a honor as a American to see some of those barrier walls being torn down today and hopefully a new history and recovery will begin to this nation. I wish him the best and this country the best as we go forward but most of all I do hope to see the world become a better place before i go to sleep for my children and there children.
Geez i have to drive 2 solid days with 2 Republicans in the car to Moab. I need one of two things ear plugs for one or two muzzles. Wait there is a third option a bottle of Hendriks and let you two drive.:ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
Clearly the promise of change and the reality of actually making it are two separate things. Skepticism is healthy and appropriate.What I don't understand is all the fanfare about how great one is BEFORE they've actually done anything...
Cheers,
Guy, I feel exactly the same way and couldn't put it any better.It truly was a honor as a American to see some of those barrier walls being torn down today and hopefully a new history and recovery will begin to this nation. I wish him the best and this country the best as we go forward but most of all I do hope to see the world become a better place before i go to sleep for my children and there children.
I remember one day as I was driving while listening to NPR. There was a segment where George Bush gave pre-written comments rather awkwardly. Shortly afterwards, they broadcast Prime Minister’s Questions (House of Commons) with Tony Blair on NPR. The contrast between articulate Tony Blair off the cuff and George Bush from a script was striking.What I don't understand is all the fanfare about how great one is BEFORE they've actually done anything...
