I don't want Obama to succeed.
There. I said it.
I didn't vote for him. I don't like him, who his mentors were, his political ideals, his policy ideas, his Clintonite picks, his views on Guantanamo, his views on abortion, or his pseudo-socialist-spread-the-wealth-trickle-up, tax-the-corporations-out-of-the-country economic ideas, or most anything else he campaigned on.
Does that mean I want another terrorist attack? Or I wish him harm? Or I want the country to fail?
No, it doesn't. It also doesn't mean that I hate him like all the BDS freaks do Bush.
The left's hatred for George W. Bush started even before he was inaugurated in 2000. Not because of what he stood for, but, because of their determination that he stole the election. That hatred grew to levels never before seen in modern political history (not even Nixon), and will continue long after he's gone.
Obama supporters say to just "give him a chance". And I say "To hell with that!"

Well now, I'm giving 0bama a chance.
The 0bamaites, and the 0bamaite primitives, promised us that at 9:00:01 a.m. central time, 8:00:01 a.m. mountain time, Tuesday, January 20, 2009, there would suddenly outbreak peace and love and joy and goodwill in all the world, the skies opening up to pour down milk and honey and other riches upon us.
So I'm willing to give 0bama a chance.
But if that hasn't happened by 9:01:01 a.m. central time, 8:01:01 a.m. mountain time, Tuesday, January 20, 2009, then all bets are off.

Frank, you are off by two hours. It is noon in DC, 11:00 in Chicago, 10:00 in Nebraska, 9:00 here in Portland.
And I am a bit more laid back than you. I think I will wait till 9:07 pacific time for universal peace and brotherhood to break out. These things take time, don't you know....

I'm slightly more generous with my timeline - He gets 100 days from me to keep his promises.

In 100 days the Constitution will be in tatters and our enemies will be laughing their asses off and planning a HUGE attack.

I'm fairly confident that the economy will have Obama so hamstrung he will be able to do basically nothing but make airy speeches and empty pronouncements.

Obama is truing to pass some many stimulus, which will do no good.

You live in Portland? I am sorry. I live in Albany and hate Portland.

When I think of Albany, I think of the paper plant right along I-5. Albany is the place that when you see you are 5 miles from there, you roll up the windows to the car.... :tongue:
Besides, as a good conservative, you are supposed to hate Eugene and Salem.

Frank, in another post based on this topic, you referenced the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
to wit:
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks
I'm a goin to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
I'll give him 'til Friday. I'm generous.

That was "pot for every chicken," or something like that . . .

Well, I got mine.......but true to government form.....they put mine in the pot upside down and the horn poked a hole in the bottom of the pot.
You won't believe the paperwork it takes to get a new pot. I gave up and sawed his horn off...stick it up his butt and was going to roast him ......but then I was informed I needed to get a burn permit for a fire that size....which I applied for. ....but then I was told I needed an environmental impact statement before they'd issue me a burn permit. ....so I got one but when I went to cut the firewood....... the tree huggers brought suit against me and stopped the wood cutting......so I bought a gas burner sort of flame thrower rig thingy.....and wouldn't you know it.....I was told since natural gas was a fossil fuel I'd have to buy carbon offset credits from Al Gore or Obama's new head of the energy department......when I finall got the carbon credits, I discovered that they had tagged and unplugged my freezer because it was an old inefficient one and I needed to hire a licensed refrigeration expects to remove the gas so it also didn't destroy the ozone layer.......There might be something to that ozone thing because when I opened the freezer, buzzards fell outta the sky for miles around, dogs ran off never to be seen again and the neighbors called the cops. Stayed in jail for a week while the cops made sure there wasn't anybody in the county missing. When I got home the wife and child were gone, DSS had taken them and the health department had left a note informing me that I had 3 days to dispose of the dead animal......two of which had already pasted......so I took the carcass to an approved landfill but was informed I needed some kind of form from the vet stating of what disease the animal had died from before they'd bury it......they suggested I cremate it.......HELL MAN, THAT's JUST WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS.
