I should use the smileys more often when referring to Obama. I to wanted change and was tired of the stay to it path, but this was not the change that I had expected or wanted. You call us moronic, yet you base everything on just the fact he isn't Bush. doesn't really make you much of a deep thinker either does it.

Ron,

The guy has 150 days in office. I think he's TRYING to accomplish many things. At least my disdain for Bush is with the hindsight of his 8 years in office.

You are correct that name calling rarely accomplishes anything. And, two wrongs don't make a right, so I shouldn't do it either. But, look at the title of the thread. Is that not name calling? I guess I get tired of logging on to CC and seeing so many abusively titled threads. It is clearly within the pervue of a member to either build up or tear down the President, but isn't it also within the pervue of a reader to consequently build up or tear down the originator? I saw Cobra bill defending someone and I let my applause of his efforts dip into name calling. Please accept my apologies for that. I'll do my best not to let my distaste for mean spirited threads drag me down to the level of those that post such stuff.

Finally, what I was refering to with my name calling was the "name calling". Not Bush supporters. I do want to be clear on that. Maybe there I also should give a lot of leeway as I'm sure non-conservatives were not polite to Bush when he was in office the same way non-liberals appear to be rather harsh to the current President.
