Some comments from HuffPo...
"I'm trying to get a fix on this sense of well being many Americans are having in the midst of this financial chaos we all face. I think it might be related to having Barack Obama as president. A feeling of someone with brains and deep understanding at the helm. A feeling of having someone nudging his people to do the job right. A feeling of having a president fully engaged and not running on 'ideological autopilot'. A feeling of having someone at top who is working for us, ordinary people. It's a strange feeling after the past 8 years.
I think it might be the feeling of 'leadership' in America--after that vast vacuum of Republican rule."
"Obama has 80% approval rating in Canada. They love him, almost every other country loves him. It's so nice to have a beloved President instead of one they throw shoes at and hold protests for."
You have that right and the whole world feels it! I have hope but seeing we are being set up in Afghanistan greatly concerns me.
ReplyDeleteAfter that farce of debates on Obama's stimulus Bill I am very concerned seeing that Obama does not even matter to Democrats, Only the two party's matter period. I now believe the Republican party even though we are in power are our biggest danger!

ReplyDeleteI am so excited about our new president and am so lucky that I'm old enough to appreciate his significance!
ReplyDeletepatriot~ We all know by now, if Bush wouldn't have gotten us in Iraq, the Taliban wouldn't have a strong-hold on Afghanistan now. Unfortunately, I think Barack has no other option but to send in more troops.
ReplyDeleteIMO, I think Barack has a lot of influence with Dems simply because his high approval rating continues. And yes, the Repub party are our biggest danger.
