Maybe there is some hope for the younger generations if they actually figure this out.

You mean as compared to the pork loving borrow and spend Republicans we had for the past 8 years?


Like Obama or not, (and for the first time since I started voting in 1971, I did NOT vote for the Democratic candidate) you have to admit, he inherited a huge bucket of shit to deal with.
Economy in the toilet, as usual after a Republican president? Check

Huge unemployment numbers, as usual after a Republican president? Check

A massive drain on our nation's economy in the form of a war we shouldn't be in? (courtesy of a Republican) Check.

A HUGE national debt and deficit, as usual after a Republican president? Check

Oddly enough, even though the righties seem to be expecting him to have worked magic in the almost 3 whole weeks since he was inaugurated, I never saw him handed a magic wand to work with...that means he's got plenty of work ahead of him to TRY to get things back on track...It's gonna take time.

Let me break this down in a way that even you might understand. I'll suggest role-playing so you can see what is America is seeing if you can relate to it.

Boss: You're a piece of crap, Boomer.
You: No I'm not. I am way better than that piece of crap predecessor I had.
Boss: Who fucking cares? You didn't know him. How does that relate to how big a piece of crap you are?
You: Well, it's what I hear all the time. "That new guy isn't as big as a douchebag as the last one."
Boss: Bullshit, you're the same breed. You don't do anything all day, explain to me the difference. You didn't do anything except laugh at your own farts yesterday.
You: You know Cindy, she dropped off a file for John, but put it on my desk on accident. I promptly put it John's desk for him to sign. But before that, I made a bunch of bullshit ideas, scribbled them in there with crayon.

 

[sandorski]

Hmm, so you heard many saying good things, but your roomie said bad things. Is it just me or did you just extrapolate your roomies comments to all?

ROFL!!

 

[ViviTheMage]

presidents will never change...lies, the lot of em!

 

[sdifox]

Opinions really didn't change, what changed is his title. He is no longer president elect (saviour of the world) but president (the fucker responsible for our livelihood, no matter how little effort we put into it)

No one ever said it would be easy and no one ever said the general public is rational.

 

[JDub02]

I would just like to welcome all of my comrades into the United Socialist States of America run by our glorious leader, Premier Obama, the all knowing, all feeling, all caring.

:evil:

 

[James3shin]

The real first black president.

 

[Pacfanweb]

He was/is just another liberal suit, with darker skin. There is no hope and change coming, never was. All there will be is debt and socialism. Same as if Hillary had won, only then the MSM would have been fawning over the "first female President" instead of the "first black President".

Hell, Hillary might not have been as liberal as Obama is.

Back in October/November, you would be crucified for disliking Obama in this college town. Now the hype has worn off. My roommate just told his sister via phone that "our dumb president is giving a speech." And the people next door were just going, "Damnit, president Obama!"

I just find it funny how quickly the hype dies.

What exactly did Obama say that was "dumb"?

Well, pretty much the whole stimulus package thing is VERY dumb. For starters.

and that he can't tell the differnce between a window and a door.

 

[BassBomb]

I think its the fact that lots of people just hate whoever is in power and like to criticize them

 

[Tobolo]

I know I'm younger, but I don't recall any specific instance where a President has pitched a hissy fit over congress not passing a bill fast enough.

Well, except for the current stimulus package.

This is truth.

I personally hate Obama, but I'm waiting for something to happen... I don't expect us to get out of this craphole anytime soon, but if we can just stabilize the economy, I'll be happy.

Oh btw, I'm a college student as well and have heard the same responses on my campus that the OP got from his roommate. Opinions are changing through the "brainwashed" campuses. Slowly, but surely.

 

[lupi]

Maybe they were just confused and thought they were listening to bush given how many of his answers were about the last 8 years rather than the next 4.

 

[JulesMaximus]

At least he can say the word nuclear correctly.

what does he expect when he dislodges Chuck to make a speech about the stimulus package he's been pimping for the past two weeks? it's not like he unveiled any new information tonight.

Not only that, but there was also no How I Met Your Mother or House! Luckily I saw that The Big Bang Theory was displaced to 9:30 PM and I was able to watch that .

Good thing Big Bang Theory came on at 9:30

It was a glorious episode.

oh - speech was alright.

Penny in a bra! First time I've ever seen a girl in one of those so close :Q!

I'm hearing a lot of "blah blah vague blah blah spending blah blah" which is pretty boring. Tell me specifically what you don't like about the bill.

 

[ballmode]

I voted McCain

He's been president for over two weeks and I didn't get no money yet!

seriously...

besides, i'm betting the reason why someone said "dammit obama!" and why the op's roommate called obama dumb was mainly because he was giving a press conference during 'chuck'.

i've got faith in obama's ability to lead this country in the right direction, but i said "dammit, man!" whenever i was expecting to start watching 'chuck'.

How about this obnoxious little addition: Stealth Health Care Changes What the hell does that do to immediately stimulate the economy?

Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss

 

[yllus]

It's cool to hate whoever has power.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

NPR has a fairly regular group of economists that they have on. If you listen a lot, you get to know them and their opinions. All of them that I heard running up to the election supported Obama. Now that the stimulus package has been revealed, I have yet to hear a single one of those economists say it is good. Most of them seem to agree that a stimulus package is needed, but their opinions of the existing package range from "misguided and misdirected" to "flushing taxpayer dollars down the toilet of Democrat pet-projects" and "payback to those that supported Obama during the Presidential race."

I enjoy the NPR: Planet Money podcast quite a bit, too. Need to go download the new one.

(Maybe they have the stimulus package loving economists on during the hours I am not listening, but seriously, if NPR can't find an economist that likes the package, you know it sucks ass.)

There is a lot of amusing ignorance in this thread.
