I hear ya Galopede! It's getting to the point where the cost and hassle of the Olympics far outweight the benefits. I hear talk about how 2016 may be the end, but I can't speak to the validity of the statement. However, I can see that time coming in the not too distant future. We need something else that can be put together without the high cost, and trying to "show off." Something simple that can be celebrated by people all over the world...

But yes that is correct he stands for absolutely everything I despise... I can't wait for 2012 or his even sooner Impeachment.. Yes I will cheer loudly from the rooftops every single time he screws up.... "I TOLD YOU SO"
I see him being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize as an absolute insult to every single person that has won it in the past, and an even bigger embarrassment to the USA...
I don't subscribe to left or right. I just think "is this something GOOD or is this something BAD." And I agree with you completely. I do not think his ideas/plans are GOOD. In theory, yes (who wouldn't want to help everyone be able to afford health care? I think that would be a great thing), but the way he is going about them? HECK no!

Ditto! Humility is not something you can teach. It is something engrained in you. And he sure doesn't have it...
