Anderson Cooper is good tonight. What the next pres has to face.

[amerikat]

With Farid Zaaria and David Gergen. Scary stuff indeed.

1. In a very cynical sense

Either way, the GOP will win. Either McCain gets in and they win, or Obama gets in and all this crashing hellstorm is all his fault.

[napi21]

2. Not if he explaines it right! Obama is nobody's fool. I'm positive

he's capable of explaining to the American people what the real causes were of all these disasters, and what he's doing to repair the big mess!

Of course the Pubs will TRY to blame it all on the Dems, the same as they're doing now, but I don't think it will work!

[DS1]

6. The point is, the media will be hammering him harder than Bill Clinton ever was

Recession? DEMOCRATS!
Everlasting war? DEMOCRATS!
Soup kitchens? DEMOCRATS!

[amerikat]

3. Like I said, it's scary stuff.

At least he has a couple of people on that aren't dyed in the wool pukes. I think they are being realistic for a change and not saying everything is Ok.

4. um

[Jack Rabbit]

5. You'll have a hell of a time telling anybody that Obama lied the country into war in Iraq

[FrenchieCat]

7. That's a trillion dollar war that we are talking about

btw.

[unhappycamper]

8. 3.5 trillion , actually.

Don't forget residual costs: veteran's care, veteran's benefits, replacing all the worn out crap.

9. Problems for next President

The next President needs to do what a good CEO does when taking over a company that is in trouble; air every thing out. I mean everything that is wrong get it out in the open.
