Subject: RE: BS: Obama's First Televised Press Conference
Doug, I apologize, I should not have called you a "Fool".

Not only is 4 millions jobs not unattainable, all that's needed is to replace the jobs lost since Clinton left office & the man's almost there.
Alright, lets all jump on Joe. First off, Obama's just getting off "Jump Street" & now folks are looking to side swipe with the hit & run. Joe hasn't even come to the crosswalk yet. 8 Yrs of disgraceful decay & we now got a team that while it may not be perfect it is already a team with a spirit, a goal, it's on the move, it's repair crew is already out there patching the tears & filling in the holes.
"Un-fucking-real"! He's pulled the stops on the last 350 billion that was pissed out the widow without reguard (Bush's Bail/Bill-out Bull), he's call for a closed "Gitmo", he's pushing gene cell & the many other sciences into the picture after it's been tossed out the window so long ago, he's already started with health care for children, he's renounced torture.
You all with your "wait & see" if he fails so we can put a righteous spear through his chest & a nail in his coffin, only are settin up the scene for failure. Why does that not surprise me. Historically, if you keep looking back over you shoulder you'll always only see your footsteps that lead straight to your asshole. The republican's nightmare is that Obama & company pulls off a miracle rather than the mirage that they'd love to pray for all just to make sure they keep the corner office & have there piece of pie for the few yrs left that they hope to hang on to.

If anyone thinks I'm rosy & wearing tinted glasses take another look. In the 60's I marched against Vietnam where my brother was & walked for civil rights. I was violently against the establishmants policies, I haven't trusted but a very few a politicans since Martha kissed George, I vote every chance I get only cause I put down a gun when I was only a kid, I grew up hungry for education & never got it, I grew up hungry for food & never eat my fill till I stole it, I grew up cold & never knew warmth until I walked through fire & I fought against odds that killed off almost every childhood friend I ever knew. So when I say I tear up when I hear Obama speak it because this is the 1st time in my life that I see that those who grew up like me, those who had no hope of living long enough to become an adult, no real home, no education, no money, no careers, no health care & no future, they now have a light that they can look towards at the end of their tunnel. No one should have to fight every day of their youth just to survive into adulthood. Yes I tear up thinking that there's a chance for that to finally change & that there is finally an honest, straight forward, intellegant, caring stand up guy in the White House. ANd they said it would never happen, it had to happen one day!
