    Considering the choices of the 2 main parties for President, I think "Fairly Good" will be a major accomplishment in this country for the next 4 years.

    And for a possible future trivia question which came from the same survey:

    Which President had the highest ever approval rating? Bush after 9/11.

    Which President had the lowest ever approval rating? Bush today.

    You don't have a problem with him already tempering expectations or cautioning us that we may not see any real change for some 4+ years down the road?
    What do the Obama lemmings think about this? You elected this novice based on his vague promises of change, but now it may not be to the degree or within the time frame he campaigned on. You gonna give him a pass here to?
    I am curious as to how this will be defended, parsed or explained away.

    Any numbers on the Obama/Pelosi/Reid-led Congress?

    Fairly good has about the same meaning to me as Change. Requires no substance. Just speculative rhetoric where nobody's really right or wrong.

    Sure, we know not to expect much but that isn't who/what the libs voted for...they expect their messiah to lead them into a fruitful valley of love & peace. "Fairly good" won't get them there...maybe they don't care, huh?

    I didn't expect him to do anything worthwhile in the first place. Hence, why I didn't vote for him.

    Dunno about them but I couldn't care less why anyone voted for him. They did and that's that.

    That is a fairly good point.

    True. But Hitler's generals were war lovers. Would they turn on thier own people? I doubt it. If it starts to go the way you envision it, I'll be right beside you with rifle in hand.

    Rahm Emanuel would turn on his mother & children...
    Bill Richardson has proven to be a turncoat...Same with Ed Rendell just to name a few.

    Actualy David quite a few of Hitlers Generals were commited Nazi's (or at least very sympathetic) take Rommel for example he was a commited National Socialist until 1944, it was he who talked Baldur von Schirach into allowing the army to be involved in the training of the Hitler Youth, then you have Von Paulus who refused to allow his troops to break out of Stalingrad because his Fhurer orderd them to stay!!
    Yes a few of them tried to get rid of Hitler but the vast majority remained loyal right up to the end.

    Loyalty? Probably fear more than anything else.

    No David actual loyalty, they swore a personal oath of allegience to the fhurer and they believed in it, try reading some of the transcripts of captured Generals after WWII.

    Hey Stu,

    A closed minded person only sees what they want to see, which is a form of Tunnelvision. In this case, taking someone out of context has been their ploy all along so how could we expect them to change? :rolleyes:

    Thanks for pointing out the OP was taken out of context and for posting the full speech! :D

    Ribbit :)

    Ps: You helped to prove what I said about using YouTube as a source. It can be manipulated to change the actual truth but it can also be used the ther way around, when it is the truth. ;)
