3. Nope. It makes too many people feel superior to be able to say...

5. Not until January 20th.... here's why....

"I'm concerned that Bush will call for Martial Law and won't allow Obama to be sworn in."

"I'm concerned that right-wing nutjobs will attempt to assassinate Obama."

7. That is a good point. It could take years
for the concern to truly die down. LOL!

6. It will take 12 to 18 months, but I suspect it will be rehabilitated.
