Kim Young Il is definitely NOT a member of the official buyers remorse club.
Quote:
President Barack Obama told his South Korean counterpart, Lee Myung-Bak, at the Group of 20 nations summit in London today he won’t allow North Korea to drive a wedge between them, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Obama praised Lee for exercising restraint in dealing with provocations from the North. Both leaders agreed to respond to the launch by registering a firm protest with the United Nations.

I think I saw this scenario in a movie somewhere?

and the alternative that the right would rather see done is what exactly? are you beating the drums of war now?
frankly, outside of direct military action, there is nothing that would produce a different result.
the bush administration sure didn't find more success in their "axis of evil" approach did they?

Then again...while he's making the mess worse, the left will go to no end in defending the chosen one.
Just as many of us have gone to no end in Defending our candidates/elected officials.
Such as blindly supporting President Bush based on his stance with National Defense, and honestly, my trust in him and his faith as a guide to how he made daily decisions.
With Obama, I have no idea what his absolute is...what is his Higher Power? Thus I don't trust the man. His bailout policies are hurting americans, his tax policies are hurting americans, rich or poor...while he feeds his buddies lots of money.
"Follow the Money" - seems to implicating every party line...

wow, you can see the future! amazing ability....
so far, things are not "getting worse" and in fact the indicies are showing either improvement or at the least stabilizing.
as much as you and rush want things to get "worse", that hopefully will not happen.
for the life of me I do not understand the right wanting things to get "worse". sorta like wishing a person will fail or get really, really sick just so they can say "I told you so.."

No I don't want things to get worse, but we can see that the current trend and the history of liberal agendas do get worse.
There is a major difference...we want what is best for America so that things can have a shot at getting better and thus the 2010 elections will be a vote for "Change we can trust"
If you want to see people wanting failure, how about all the liberals who wanted the war to fail? Then when we succeeded, every liberal rag decided to undereport the success in fear that they couldn't get their guy elected.
The Democrats and Liberals actions the past 8 years + has been absolutely PATHETIC.
We are at a clear divide between ideologies...America is clearly split on its view of what is best for the future...sadly the two can not co-exist...one will ultimately have to come to grips and tolerate the other. Currently it is the conservatives who have to tolerate liberalism...desperately clinging to our freedoms as the liberals erode them away one by one. Gloating every step of the way.
Who knows what the future holds...but if it keeps going the liberals way, this will be a miserable place to be...not just America, but the world in general.
At least I have other things in life that I enjoy, which help me escape the negativity of politics.

So what you're saying is that liberals and conservatives need to learn to get along....... as long as the conservatives are running the show???
Yeah - that should fix everything...
(also, I love how you state that the Democrats destroyed America for the last 8 years when the Republicans had all the control... That makes so much sense!)
Seriously - put down the coke straw!

What's MY agenda again??? (I'm certainly not a Democrat, nor did I vote for Obama...)
I understand what you're saying - do you?
Seriously - explain to me how the Democrats ruined America while the Republicans had all the power because I'm still not getting how that works (sorry - I don't know where to buy enough cocaine for that to make sense...)

Why don't you go first...my comment was that Democrats have been rooting for America to lose the war...
As for policies and what Dem/Libs have done throughout...we might as well start another thread...heck another board if you want...there are more than enough topics that have been discussed regarding the problems of liberal politics...but somehow you have decided to take this as a personal attack on me...are you sure you are not silksmoove in disguise?
Have a great day...it's time for me to do my part to bail out america!!!

there you go again, making the right out to be the only ones who "want whats best for america".
let's see, insulting, demeaning, arrogant, self-serving...all of those apply to your attitude.
of course there is also repulsive, absurd, ignorant, wrong....see, the other side is just as patriotic, loves their country just as much as the right, they just have a different view and opinion of how to improve our country.

no, the people who opposed the war wanted the war to cease. wasn't the war to remove saddam hussein? well, that war was won in a week...the rest of the 6 years has been trying to resolve the negatives that the illconceived decision to invade iraq brought.
as for the "last 8 years", you do not have a good memory of short term history. the republican party was in total control for 6 of those 8 years, and in partial control for the last 2.
so blame the republicans if you want to assign blame.

odd, as it was the republican administration who pushed through the law that restricted our freedoms more than any other in history...and yes, the republicans "gloated all the way" as they limited our citizen's freedoms.
get out and enjoy life without this pessimism you express, there's a lot to be positive about.

I don't think half America wanted the war to fail. They wanted the war to be over with, however that is achieved, and the troops returned back home. And I think that was more than half.
And there's no way, no how the Iraq war was sold on "liberating Iraq" and I'll never, ever, ever buy that. It was all about WMD. There were none. Then it turned into "liberating Iraq."
Then it turned into "Iraq is a terrorist harboring state." They never did make up their mind about what this war is about, or did they and I didn't hear?
What's winning Iraq? Turning it into a democracy? Did you ever wonder that maybe some places aren't meant to be democracies? (hint: Iraq?).

For what it's worth...I'm against reporting on Obama or Bidens kids...or other politicians for that matter.
These kids have enough challenges, they don't need to be scrutinized by media or the rest of us who don't know them personally.
Report on Biden and his politics...or other NON-Family related topics...but again, from my view...kids are off-limits.
Anybody else agree with me on this one?

I have been wrong and thus now renounce my support for the Republican party.
I am having a serving of crow for lunch and now will cast my unbiased support towards Obama and the Democratic Party!!!
Consider me a born again liberal democrat...I am joining forces with others from this board who have brought me out of darkness and into the light...I am free at last!!!

Yes they did, they won the war against Iraq!

is it "hero worship" to question your posting a photo of the queen of england and some arabs meeting with obama as somehow meaning something?

No what's hero-worship that no slight, no criticism, no joke, goes unchallenged and rationalized. TheOne could bite a chickens head off and you'd find a way to rationalize it right now.
You've got it bad.....real bad....

OK, so explain how the queen of england and the arabs have ANYTHING to do with the obama administration....much less the current situation with north korea, and how the response by the obama administration should change.
see, what you are doing is merely self flaggellation. interesting to watch, but devoid of meaning.

He has had several number 1 albums in the usa and overseas, but he does not have a number one single anywhere. Blinded By The Light (Manfred Mann's version) is the only song that Bruce has written that reached number 1 on the Billboards charts.

There is nothing quite like Music and Sports to bring Liberals/Conservatives together!!!
Get Mavdog and I together, with a beverage of our choice, 30-60 minutes of mixed music and a great Mavs game...we could be the best of buds!!!
The only ones in remorse then would be the politicians, as we would no longer be buying either side!!!
It's time for me to go out and get me a "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and forget all about buyers remorse :-)

The only thing I know about Bruce Springsteen is that his drummer was Max Weinberg of Late Night With Conan O'Brien fame.

Eek....Krugman is starting to catch a cold.

IS OBAMA LOSING PAUL KRUGMAN? $100 million here, $100 million there “pretty soon, even here in Washington, it adds up to real money,” says the president.
Except, you know, really it doesn’t. Let’s say the administration finds $100 million in efficiencies every working day for the rest of the Obama administration’s first term. That’s still around $80 billion, or around 2% of one year’s federal spending.
Yeah, this was a lame effort.

Uh Oh...Juan Williams is also creeping on board.
Quote:
JUAN WILLIAMS: Obama’s Outrageous Sin Against Our Kids
As I watch Washington politics I am not easily given to rage.
Washington politics is a game and selfishness, out-sized egos and corruption are predictable.
But over the last week I find myself in a fury.
The cause of my upset is watching the key civil rights issue of this generation — improving big city public school education — get tossed overboard by political gamesmanship. If there is one goal that deserves to be held above day-to-day partisanship and pettiness of ordinary politics it is the effort to end the scandalous poor level of academic achievement and abysmally high drop-out rates for America’s black and Hispanic students.The reckless dismantling of the D.C. voucher program does not speak well of the promise by Obama to be the “Education President.”
This is critical to our nation’s future in terms of workforce preparation to compete in a global economy but also to fulfill the idea of racial equality by providing a real equal opportunity for all young people who are willing to work hard to succeed.
