$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Northern_Pike', 'A')fter eight years of the media’s harsh criticism and blame for unpopular actions,
Huh? What "harsh criticism" from what media? Two years, maybe.

You're right Ludi, I should have said a couple years criticism about the last eight years. The media, however, have used their power of 20/20 hindsight to cast the entire eight years in the worst light possible during those last couple years. Perhaps they’ve done it rightly so, but that really wasn't my main point.

There, now I have eaten my own dish of crow. That wasn’t so bad, though a bit gamey maybe.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Northern_Pike', 'A')fter eight years of the media’s harsh criticism and blame for unpopular actions, I look forward to the next four years of apologetic excuses, and even praise for what will likely be very similar actions.


Just keep your set tuned to FoxNews and you'll be satisfied.

The media are in the business of making money. There are few journalists in the media anymore. So the media will, by and large, say whatever is popular and will sell advertising. If the world loves Obama, expect the media to lavish praise upon him. Except for right-wing outlets like Fox, and such right-wing spokespersons as Hannity, Limbaugh, etc. But there will be a fantastic market still for anti-left points of view.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pops', 'I') read that back in the day (like way in the way back) a dead crow or perhaps an oily fish would be threaded with a wick and lit as a candle for the dinner table when nothing else was available. Just something to think about.

Sorry Pops, I'd rather not think about the smell of burnt crow while I eat..

Absolutely. The right-wing talk radio hyenas and the Fox News cabal are entering a golden age. They couldn't have engineered a better scenario.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('fullerine', 'E')d Rogers (GOP) said: "There is NO WAY America will elect someone named Barack HUSSEIN Obama(!)," Wata clown.

"The election of our first African-American president truly shows how far we've fallen as a nation," said NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams. "Just eight years ago, this moment would have been unthinkable. But finally we, as a country, have joined together, realized we've reached rock bottom, and for the first time voted for a candidate based on his policies rather than the color of his skin."

Thank you George Bush. Without you we couldn't have even remotely hoped to have accomplished this extra-ordinary destruction of world unity and implementation of fear-mongering..

As PRAVDA said this week, the only elected person that could have done a worse job than George Bush has done is Satan.

Maybe he was the anti-christ.

They will have plenty to whine about. It just won't have any influence on policies. Of course, their ratings are only driven by stirring up the populace and providing them an avenue to vent, so it doesn't matter whether they change policy or not.

(or something like that)

The other day it was up 200 or so and today it was up around 500 the last time I looked, it is obvious the market is behaving exactly as it has for the past couple months, extreme volatility. For you to look at the two day drop after the election as some kind of evidence that wall st./investors have no faith in an Obama administration means you are conciously being very selective in what registers in your pea-brain.

What pray tell, is your excuse for the market dropping from the 14000's into the 8000's long before Obama had even won the DNC primaries? Did Nancy Reagan's psychic warn the NYSE that the evil negro was going to win?

You are pathetic Pete Puma, why don't you just admit your guy Boosh was an absolute disaster in every way, your Repubs are finished for awhile....get used to it. And if you can't keep the filthy hole under your nose shut at least until the man takes office, then at least try not to embarass yourself with your blatant, partisan stupidity every time you fart through your teeth.
