On a good day it's 1:1.<br /><br />Our criticism of the President is normal and civilized. The President would expect no less of the citizens. It's the over the top hatred that scares me. And yes, I agree...he is already one of the finest!Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446337419977796973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002602.post-56545177835680373642010-09-09T16:21:22.332-07:002010-09-09T16:21:22.332-07:00I think it's just an illusion that the idiots ...I think it's just an illusion that the idiots outnumber the intellectuals. I say this because the M.O. of many conservative pundits is to say outrageous things that will make headlines. Although Rachel Maddow is one of the best pundits in the business, she isn't going to get the press of a Glenn Beck. Delivering intelligent, rational commentary isn't going to get the same coverage as uttering crazy, outrageous rants. Even though the Becks, Palins, and Limbaughs of the world get a lot of attention, sell a lot of books, etc., I think most people realize they don't know what the hell they're talking about. Hopefully I am right about my illusion theory. If not, we're in a lot of trouble. <br /><br />I agree with you about President Obama. Although I get disappointed in some of his choices, I still support him. Regardless of what the nutty wing on the conservative side have to say, I think Obama will go down is one of the great presidents.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002602.post-39264739714724452062010-09-08T04:46:28.698-07:002010-09-08T04:46:28.698-07:00We really need him to be a 2 term President.

A coherent candidate. An intelligent candidate.

Evey morning, I am thankful when I see that John McCain is NOT in the <br />White House and Sarah <br />Palin is NOT representing us in diplomatic meetings held around the world. <br />I don't care if he's a one-term president. He's showing everyone how it's done.
