Odin's left hand,
who has NOT donated to Skins's island.
You know, I think my fellow alum Skins, during his fund-raising endeavors, should allow only those primitives who've donated to Skins's island, to start a bonfire.

Maybe I'm just depressed right now, but I'm starting to lose faith in Obama.
I think I'm starting to go through the 5 stages of grief.

1. See ya.
maybe you'll come back when he's ridin' high again. My friends, family, and I are supporting him when he needs it.

2. You shouldn't lose faith in the President
He is a man you know, he is going to **** somethings up. I'd focus more on what made you lose your faith and trying to find ways to communicate to others why that issue is important. You really shouldn't have placed that much faith in one man to fix all the world's problems. Pretending the problems don't exist though, isn't healthy.
I'm going to let you in on a secret, I still personally like the President...but don't tell anyone certain people's heads might explode, generally the people who call me a "hater"

6. Keep your head up
He has a big mess, but pretending it isn't a big mess and everything that he is doing is fixing he mess isn't good for you, and it isn't good for him either.
He doesn't need followers. He never was one. If you are losing faith in his abilities focus on the things that you like about him as a person.
There are days, I think he was over his head and really should have waited a few more years to run for President. The fact is he didn't and he wasn't really that less experienced than most of his opponents. No one can be prepared for this time in history and he has to do somethings that frankly would make you and I throw-up.
He isn't going to fix everything, but if something in our society is making you mad (you can tell I'm pissed off about finance) than you should talk about it and look for ways you can do something about it.
Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute there.
Bo's not going to fix everything?
What's up with that?
About a year ago, Bo, the 0bamaites, and the primitives promised us Bo was going to fix everything, and by 11:01 a.m. January 20, 2009.
We were promised.

8. Obama's ridiculous fears about the debt causing a run on the dollar sent me over the edge.
He needs to can his entire ******* economic team.

13. It could be that or he could have heard from the Chinese, get your financial books in order or we will dump your currency and not buy your bonds next year.

16. I thought that too, but...
...then i thought that they would not do that because it would be economic suicide for them.

18. Half of their people are living in utter poverty.
I highly doubt they are that worried about that. We've been pushing them around for 30 years. In order to get as far as they have gotten, they have poisoned their environment, abandoned their principles, and tolerated our bullshit.
They have some leverage now, and they are starting to use it. It might have been an idle threat, but they are really hurting right now because of our behavior and our failure to keep our house in order.
I'm not so sure about "half;" I think it's, uh, quite rather more than that.

20. Very true.
As the Chinese curse says: "May you live in interesting times".
Chief S itting Bull, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive said that; it's not from any Chinese literature, ancient or modern.

23. There is a reason he is spending a week in Asia
He needs to calm down their fears so they don't pull the plug on their own experiment.
After which other primitives chime in, thanking the
non-donating Allentown dude primitive for calming their fears, after which a Fat Che in the punchbowl shows up, Dorothy, the snobbish primitive,
