Folks are weighing in. Here is one from Europe from an expat:
Lee Iacocca did his corporate thing well, in his time.
I hear so many people complaining, and in their frustration, they want to hang their “very new leader”
I am fed up with all the moaning, and yet, indeed, where are the leaders, where are their brilliant suggestions for getting us out of the mess that
the wonderful “Republican President” put us in. He’s the one who took care of all the fat cats, bankers, businessmen, oilmen etc.
He’s the one who ran the country’s budget into the ground. Does anyone remember where America was financially when Clinton left office??
Short memories, and panic, and mobs crying for blood is not the response to a critical situation.
Replace the name Obama with any other politician, statesman, rocket scientist, celebrity or intellectual, and they lay out in detail what they would do to fix everything.....(an in a short time if you please, I want to get on with my comfy life)
Personally, I don’t think the ‘job’ is doable....certainly not in the foreseeable future anyway.
What a fickle country....Just a short time ago, we all had tears in our eyes during Obama’s inauguration, now we’re calling for his head...
Sophomoric behaviour if ever I’ve seen it.
Grow up America, there is NO quick fix, hard times are ahead (something alien to us lucky Americans)
Get out of the pioneer mode, it’s the 21st G-D century, carrying guns, and everyone looking our for themselves was in the lawless, wild west days.
The world has moved on. John Wayne is also dead. The good guy in the big hat (who by the way was never a good guy) who saves everyone is fiction.
If the United States does not change its paradigm of thinking and acting......it really will be over, and America will have to give up its Number One status!
Personally, I’d like to give Obama the benefit of the doubt. At least let him have a go.....
Americans gave that moron, Bush 8 years to lead the country....I still can’t comprehend how he was ever, ever re-elected!
Shame on all the whiners........

I agree whole hardedly with Ted.
ReplyDeleteEight years of crap from a nincompoop and not many complained about the cost of an illegitimate war while cutting taxes for the rich.
Now we have a president who's willing to at least try to deal with the Bush's financial crisis (and I believe Obama took steps that averted a depression) and the the crisis in health care all at the same time with the Republican dogs ripping at his flesh.
He's not the Messiah and never claimed he was so let's get on with the business at hand instead of complaining about taxes. You can do without your $1000 meal at Per Se and your $25,000 diamond ring. There are sacrifices to be made so grow the F-- up!
