OK, I get it...Some will fall into the Republican bucket and some, myself included, will fall into the Democrat bucket...Now let's bring this down to the normal, everyday American. Some wanted McCain to win and others Obama...There was a ton of shit talking from both sides all throughout the campaign and election. The election happened and Obama won. For some reason though the Republican elite, and more so the stubborn folk in the general populace, are quite bitter and are still talking out of their asses. Now, I know what you are going to say..."The Dems were bashing Bush from the get go..." and that is true...and it had a lot to do with bipartisanship, but there was also a hint of...well...he shouldn't have been there in the first place (and I know there are people out there who think it was legitimate...LOL)...Please see the legal briefs and do some research...But you also have too look at what Bush did in his first 100 days...which was little to NOTHING...and some more...here and here...With this in mind, I can see where there was room for some bitching and kicking from an upset Democratic party...now lets do the same look at the current President...and mind you, contrary to his predecessor, Obama did not come into office with lack of war or a budget surplus. In fact, there are 2 wars and what might end up being the next depression (also see the historical unemployment rate charts here)...Here is your chance to do a compare and contrast exercise and make YOUR own decisions...See Obama's first 100 days HERE...here...and...here. I think that after you put just a little time in, you will see that these are 2 incredibly different men in 2 incredibly different circumstances...and in the end, Obama is proving to be more of a "take action" President in these first 100 days...So when I read that Mitt Romney (no the man doesn't get a link) is blasting Obama (the article is deserving of a link)...and see on CNN this morning when they were talking about some Jack-Os thoughts on Oval Office attire (Obama has been pictured on many occasions without his sports coat on...probably because he is working...[I know...what a travesty]), I get a little miffed...This is a time when we should all be pulling together and setting political differences aside for the greater good...can you say utilitarianism???

Did you know?
"Clepe" itself is a word that is considered archaic and nearly obsolete, but its past participle "yclept" (pronounced ih-KLEPT) continues to be used, albeit rarely. In Old English, the prefix "ge-" denoted the completion or result of an action; in Middle English, the prefix shifted to "y-" and appeared in words such as "ybaptised" and "yoccupied." Eventually, all the "y-" words except "yclept" fell into disuse. One reason that "yclept" persists may be that it provides a touch of playfulness that appeals to some writers. Another may be that although "yclept" is an unfamiliar term to most people, its meaning can usually be inferred from context. Whatever the reason, "yclept" continues to turn up occasionally in current publications despite its strange and antiquated look.
