    Let's get out there and build solar panels, people. Wait, we've got to sign a union contract, then get permits from the EPA. And don't forget the Environmental impact reports, then...oh, never mind. We can get them fom China a lot cheaper.

    Did you say the same thing to the Democrats when Bush was in office and we were discussing the Patriot Act, WMDs, 9/11 Commission, etc.? Maybe you did...maybe you didn't. I just don't remember the same advice being given to the Democrats.

    I do find it comical how liberals are lauded as heroes for voicing their opinion yet conservatives are labeled as anti-American, trouble-making warmongers. :lol:

    Good thing you're a moderate. I'm sure you don't tolerate double standards routinely practiced by Democrats.

    Obama was giving hugs the first Friday in December but not real happy the first Friday in January. These programs aren't working. We're spending a trillion dollars and raising debt but unemployment remains at/near double-digits.

    This was supposed to be so easy to fix. A year ago we were told of the Messiah and how he could solve all problems...even the massive failures of the previous administration. We were told these problems weren't cyclical nor were they attributed to the people. These problems were completely the fault of one man...Bush. We were told if we voted for "change" all things would be solved immediately.

    It's January 2010 and I haven't seen much "hope" or "change". Regardless of what occured previous to last January...we were told this administration could fix it. We weren't told it would take two terms, one term, or even two years. We were told this group had ALL the answers.

    We allowed the media to portray this as a historical event thereby didn't bother to ask what the plans were or how things were to be accomplished. Those stories weren't considered important. The story of race, the evil Republicans, and how Hillary was great until she opposed Obama were the strorylines. The budget, taxes, cap & trade, health care?...why question those when they could spend time asking Obama important questions about what he eats for breakfast or what his favorite movie is.

    We gave this group a free pass to the office...we didn't question their agenda or motives...we have continued to give them the benefit of doubt...and here we are getting buried.

    The first step in getting out of a hole is to stop digging. The Democrits will have none of that. They're on a mission to push their far left agenda down our throats overnight. I was hopefully the Blue Dogs would intervene but quickly learned their votes can be bought.

    It's time to clean house of this Congress...the WORST ever. The White House may be next in three years if they don't put the country ahead of a liberal agenda.

    WHO said we have a messiah that would solve all problems? Limbaugh and Farrakhan have said so. Are you listening to those fools?

    WHO said that all problems would be solved "immediately". Not Obama. Who?

    Provide a source, then. Show us who said that it wouldn't even take two years. Or I assume you made it up.

    Only fools like Glen Beck would imagine that Obama was claiming to fix things INSTANTLY. It's going to take time. You criticize the stimulus spending without considering that is involves projects that take years to complete. You throw out the Trillion-dollar Health bill without mentioning that its a trillion over the next 10 years and that even the present flawed system was going to cost $750 Billion over that time.

    Complaints that Obama hasn't fixed every problem that the US has accumulated over 200 years within his first year demonstrate that some people are just not paying very close attention.
