retired soldier, go ahead and celebrate for both of us. I can't get my arms around this guy at all, and his pull backs are contrary to his hard line as a candidate. And his pull backs are many. Even during the campain his rhetoric xtarted to sound more like Ronald Reagon than the Obmama of only months before. Such as his sudden tough talk on invading nations armed with nukes. Specifically when he said that if he knew Osama was there he would invade Pakistan. Obama also warned Iran that all options for our defense remain on the table if they were to do something really stupid like .. say ... nuke Tel Aviv. And Moveon/codepink/ ANSWER all worshipped this guy? The far loonie left is openly saying they were betrayed. I will support him and hope he does what he says. I just don't believe him. I cannot say I have ever believed a career politician. But he is our President elect. So I will support him. We all should support our elected presidents. Shouldn't we? I guess support for his cabinet selections comes from what we read. I read the opposite, that people are worried and angry. In any event, these are not the people who are noted for being catalysts of change. As long as the grass is green and the sky is blue the politicians will all be screwin you. I do, though, want him to succeed as what he wants would serve us all.
I simply doubt the sincerity of his intentions. I concur. With both statements.

Frankly. He's very slick and has been marketed amazingly well.
You have people using a slick anology/ photo of cowboy boots hanging inches off the ground in front of an American flag that is CLEARLY meant to give a subliminal if not outright impression of a hung GW Bush.
I believe you are referring to my photo avatar. Jonathan Byrd {folk singer}in Dingo boots hanging inches off the ground in front of an American flag . http://www.myspace.com/jonathanbyrdIt was meant to give the impression of what he and many of us felt our government would do like to do to us . Never crossed my mind that some would see it as Bush. I can't seem to locate the photo now .

Never crossed my mind that some would see it as Bush. I can't seem to locate the photo now . I have every photo you ever posted on your myspace page. Photo after photo showing you obsession with hating GW Bush. Like this one that shows cowboy boots limply hanging in front of the American Flag ...  Oh yeah, that aint supposed to be Bush. Rightttttttttttttt. Just like this is not your president.  Also off your wide open myspace page. Just as was this gem of intelligence.  Or how about how you got your screen name ... Aluminum Mule?  On your myspace page you babble "FRIGGEN BUSH" every other breath. That alone makes you dangerous. And your lame explanation of your avatar, that dissapeared when I first pointed out that it was not only offensive but a borderline threat against the life of a sitting president. Yeah, Bush wants us all to hang ourselves in cowboy boots in front of an american flag in texas,  And you dress funny. Nice Aluminum mule ya gots there.  Many of US did not and do not like Bush. But he is YOUR president FOOL. Just as Obama WILL BE my president after the 20th of January.

Past Tense, he is remarkably intelligent. That alone probably got many to follow him like he was Christ on earth. The only people who think of him as a Messiah are people on the right who don't like him and keep referring to him as such. If "being excited about a candidate" equals "following someone like Christ on Earth" let's just call Pretty Pony Palin the Second Coming, ok? As for doubting his sincerity, that's a personal choice, but your reason for validating his sincerity: "How anyone can doubt the sincerity of ANYONE who chooses to go through the grueling process of getting elected President. I have a lot of negative opinions about GWB but NONE OF THEM involve ""doubting the sincerity of his intentions"", WOW! There isn't a single politician that isn't an ego-maniac. Obama even said that in a debate and that he had a "very healthy" image of himself. First of all, that's not my reasoning. That's Sky's reasoning. I have no idea how doubting someone's sincerity is a "choice", but if you doubt the sincerity of someone's intentions - in this case, the President-Elect of the United States - then you doubt he wishes to HELP this country and rather, intends to HURT IT. I have no earthly idea what else "doubting the sincerity of his intentions" could mean. As for having a healthy ego - I EFFING HOPE SO. Just as I hope the brain surgeon who dug a tumor out of my cousin's brain a few months ago had a MASSIVE, ENORMOUS EGO, I also hope my President has a giant reserve of self-confidence. I really don't want the leader of the free world to be riddled with self-doubt. Do you? Politicians may have an agenda for us, good or bad, but they have one hell of a personal agenda in place too. Perhaps, but I don't think anyone goes through what a candidate goes through without honestly wanting to affect (at least what they perceive as) positive change for America. While you and I might disagree on what constitutes "good" or "bad" for the country, and while we might agree with the president or any other elected official, that doesn't lessen the "sincerity of their intentions". And let's not pretend that if were John McCain gearing up for transition right now we wouldn't see the exact same thing - the reality of campaign promises in the light of implementation.
