Comments on: Bring Him On! http://sirenschronicles.com/2008/05/07/bring-him-on/ "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."-Teddy Roosevelt Sun, 20 Jul 2008 22:26:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: fran http://sirenschronicles.com/2008/05/07/bring-him-on/#comment-5274 fran Fri, 09 May 2008 05:46:37 +0000 http://sirenschronicles.com/?p=1516#comment-5274 I do appreciate that Obama is not up there making promises at the podium. Most of those turn out to be empty & unrealized. This job will entail a huge mess to fix post 8 years of Bush. All the things we need to succeed have been neglected or abondoned- education, infrastructure, health care- and things like non-vanishing pensions, cooked books (Enron style), oh and taking care of the planet we live on. So having Obama step up & say he is willing to try to unravel the things that need to be fixed & get on a better/sane path is refreshing. frans last blog post..<a href="http://ramblings-fran.blogspot.com/2008/05/circus-begins.html" rel="nofollow">The circus begins...</a> I do appreciate that Obama is not up there making promises at the podium.
