61. Give the guy a break, he's been listening to Obama all day long.

62. By the time Comrade O is done, he's going to make Jiminy Carter look like he belongs on Mt. Rushmore. Reminds me of two old television shows from my youth: Amateur Hour, and The Beverly Hillbillies (clueless yokels enter sophisticated world, comedy results).

Only it's not funny, it's sad... Hopefully the DimmyCOMs will take enough of a beating in 2010 that Obama will obtain a little hubris, but I wouldn't bet on it. God save us from these socialist idiots!

63. I can't say that I blame him. Obama is boring as crap. He says nothing better than anyone I have ever seen.

66. Alan:

On your "give the hard-working guy a break," I'm going to have to call B.S.

You Obama groupies always have an excuse.

Welcome to the United Socialists States of America.

68. Obama is a bozo, could his term end any sooner? Man, this guy is in over his head. I liked the guy, but after 3 moths I am not even sure he likes America or Americans for that matter. I am starting to think he is trying to stick it to us.

69. A military man or woman would face legal action for sleeping on the job. This guy gets away with sleeping - even when his boss Obama is in the room??????

71. Who made up the rule that everyone has to be politically correct? What is that? Also, why can't a person not be for gay marriage? Why can't people believe what they want? Geeze....this Miss california thing is lame. Kim Kardashian called her narrow minded? Why does her opinion make her narrow minded? What if it's not based on a bible belief, what if it's just her opinion? All the celebrities flapping their jaws need to shut up......blah blah.......I am sickened by this whole ordeal.

72. I love all the Bush Haters out there. Talk about the most closed minded people on the planet. They scream unfair, that OUR (I will claim him as my president even though the Bush bashers DECLARED Bush wasn't theirs) president needs a chance to prove himself. Forgive me here but aren't these the same people that were wanting to string Bush up as soon as he WON the election in 2000. Man talk about the double standard. I will give our current president the same respect you gave the previous one.

God I pray I am wrong but if we are attacked (and I do truly fear we will be) during Obama's term then Bush is completely vindicated. For 8 years he kept the country safe atleast.

Oh and Bush was FAR from a great president. At best he was only ok which is the same thing I will say about Clinton. In my life time I have Carter to use as an example of a piss poor president and Reagan as a great one. Obama is closer to Carter in my eyes than even Clinton.

73. He's reading? Well then, that must be one interesting glass of water to read. Or maybe he can read an empty conference room table. He was reading lol, that was a good one!!! LMAO!

74. Look at the bright side, with Obama in office, we don't have to worry about terrorists anymore. The terrorists know that Obama's spending is far more damaging to the US than any terrorist attach can ever be.

75. Uuuh, he's heard it all uuuh before, like we uuuh all have, uuuh. That's what I do when I hear Obama's uuuh voice now.
