"Margaret. Forgive me honey for I have sinned… I realize now that President Obama is not perfect. I was wrong to suggest that Obama would rid the world of evil and walk on water while doing it. I was wrong to believe he was the Messiah. I can now say that he is not the smartest human to have ever lived and quite frankly he throws like a girl. Whew. That feels good to get off my chest.

I am a big enough woman to admit when I am wrong. But there is one thing wrong with all of this. I never said any of those things in the first place and neither did any Democrat I know. I never said he was perfect. I never expected him to solve all the problems of the world. And I know lots of women who can throw a ball better than most men. I recognize that he is human and I am sure most people in their right minds know that as well. But you would never know any of this if you listen to Rush Limbaugh. Evidently we Democrats are deaf, dumb and blind when it comes to Obama.

Bullshit.

I am not giving Obama a free pass. I’m giving him a chance. He has four years to “make it or break it” as they say. And considering what George Bush did to it, breaking it is the least of our worries. Healthcare in the United State is broken. Our reputation around the globe is broken. The banks are broken. The tax system… the school systems… the environment - all broken. Someone needs to try and fix it. So why not Obama?

When George Bush was President I didn’t want him to fail. I wanted him to stop acting like an idiot. I wanted him to be honest and listen to the debate of the people. I didn’t expect him to act like a Democrat. I expected him to act like an American. And I expected him to at least try to keep his campaign promises. Instead what we got was a moron of a President who crawled up Dick Cheney’s ass and lived there for 8 years..."

1. All I ever REALLY TRULY wanted from Obama was for him to beat McCain/Palin.

That right there probably saved the world.

2. You have a good point, there

The rest is all icing! ;)

4. I was just about to edit my post to add that.

Could be very important icing, though.

3. That entire blog is well worth reading.

5. I love Margaret and Helen -

Can you believe that 72 percent of Republicans have a favorable approval rating of Sarah Palin? The woman quit mid-stream and even that didn’t knock her off the pedestal. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, Margaret. After all his listeners agree with him on healthcare reform. Rush Limbaugh, a man who will never have to worry about the cost of insurance and admits to a prescription drug addiction, actually wants to challenge Obama on healthcare reform. Really? I am just stunned. And now they attack Walter Cronkite … the most trusted man in America… Uncle Walter. I guess the Americans with Disabilities Act needs to be revisited again to include “Republican” as a form of mental impairment because this has gotten out of hand. And I will gladly give up my mobility impaired classification and the great parking space that goes with it to make room for them.

Wonderful women, we need more like them.

9. I do expect him to solve the only problem we have that can be solved without--

--spending more money on it. That would be health care. We are already paying for universal health care--we just aren't getting it.
