imagine, money is being wasted through bail-outs and stimulus packages.  The Democrats promised everything would be different.  Really!

I hope you didn't think the Democrats by "different" ever meant anything but "more".

Granted, my priority is the lives of the weak, a priority in which Bush is millions of miles ahead of Obama. So spending wasn't my #1 priority, but I didn't like Bush's crazy spending either.

Still, watching people where spending was their highest priority always bemused me a little. In some ways, they underestimated how bad Bush was on that. They would say he was as bad as a Democrat; this was always nuts - Democrats either supported Bush's spending or opposed it because they wanted more. In reality, Bush moved the goalposts. Before, Republicans wasted money and Democrats wasted tons of money. Now, Republicans waste tons of money, freeing up Democrats to waste ludicrously obscene tons of money.

Obama is different, he's absolutely the sleaziest piece of dirt ever elected.

The Democrats' promise was evidently a false one: for now, Obama is showing that he is identical to the previous Democrat presidents: incompetent, ineffective, and hypocritical at best.

For once, Dems got something right: BO is different. He's stripping the underpinnings of our country out from underneath us, he's trashing our Constitution, and he's going after private citizens with a vengeance. And who's stopping him?

By "different" they meant, "We won't be hiding our Marxist ideology any longer", and they figured a muslim-educated, Kenyan/Indonesian, ideological communist illegal alien would be just the guy to cut Imperialist-pig Capitalist Americans down to size, and get the rest of the Third World to love us.

...Unfortunately, 53% of the uneducated, parasitic American gutter scum agreed...

The 40% of the 2007 Baby Boom that are BASTARDS will make excellent soldiers for The Obamunist's Gestapo in 17 years from now when he's still "president" by 90% margins every year.
