Only he's going to give even more money to ethanol scamsters. :uhoh:

He'll be a little sharper than W, a little more hands-on. And I'm sure he'll make good use of all the executive powers Bush and Cheney secured for him. Not good for us, maybe, but good for something.

 

Exactly.  At this point I almost don't care what he does.  If all the good he accomplishes is setting a standard for all politicians that they need to DO something while in office and DO what they said they would do and be PRO-ACTIVE with it, I'd be more than happy.  The days of, "hey I got elected, now I can go golfing for four years," are over.

I disagree completely. Presidential "initiative" and general "doing things" (other than executing acts of Congress) is what is responsible for increased executive authority, which is a big part of what allowed to Bush to behave the way he did.

Granted, it all depends "what" is "done". The thing is, politicians are self-serving. Bush didn't play golf for four years. In fact he did quite a lot. The problem was all that "doing" benefitted him and not our country.

So what you really want is for Obama to care. I just don't believe he does. If so, why the ethanol lies (for example)?

It wasn't the pledge, but the national anthem he was listening to. And here's a video of Bush not putting his hand over his heart during the national anthem as well. It doesn't prove that either one is unpatriotic.

I refuse to pledge allegiance to any symbol, and I have never sang the national anthem (I have refused both since I was young enough to understand anything about civic duty).

I'm not even sure what your point is.

Well, at least I understand what Nozoki was saying, now.
