I would be more than happy to have such a thing.

Am I the only one who thinks that 52-48% isn't really a wide margin?

Heh, "born-again" would have us believe that Obama won by a landslide.

Wasn't Bush the one who said his 50% majority gave him "political capital to spend"?

Presidents aren't elected by popular vote. Obama had twice as many Electoral votes as McCain. In politics, that's a huge landslide.

Unlike leftists, us right-wingers can do more than one thing at a time. 
Unless you're John McCain, in which case you suspend your campaign every time something comes up specifically so you can focus on just one thing at a time.
I saw this one comming. kudos for henny's timing and delivery.
Not sure Jhud could have missed it after BO's "multi-tasking" rebuttle rant after all that.
Is "Bash" the right word? Is "Anti-Obama" fitting?
I personally thing he is a great Dad, who could be anti about that?
His policies is a whole different can of dead , rotten, stinky worms.
All eyes on BO, what will he do? What will the market do?
He is no FDR, no JFK, and no Reagan, inspite of the media's love affair for him.
I see no problem with critizing him if the economy worsens.
Can he do what Reagan did in four years? Not if he keeps his promises.

Why does the thread have to be about "criticzing". Why can't it just be about pro and con in regards to his actions, and let the best case win?

I got news for you, if Obama doesn't come up with an economic plan that doesn't scare the market as much as his election has
So you think the market is still reeling because of Obama's election? And it wouldn't being going the same madness were McCain elected?
If so, how? Because you have a crystal ball able to peer into other realities?
Either way, the markets are today being pounded by a million variables all coming together at once that have nothing to do with the presidential election (e.g. retail and manufacturing losses, coupled with banks still refusing to lend).

It's called MULTI-TASKING. We know it's tough for socialists to do will collecting those government handouts; but, those of us that believe in pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps are pretty good at it.

Every minute spent here by a right-winger deconstructing Obama is a minute they're not spending reconstructing their own party.
I hope to see hundreds of threads with pages upon pages of comments for the next 4 years.

No your not the only one. But the left is going to press the 'landslide victory' lie down our throats for the next 4 years.
There hasn't been a landslide victory since Reagan was reelected in 1984. I don't think its a conicidence that he was also the last true Conservative that has run in the last 30 years.

The markets are a confidence game; if they believe that something better is coming in the future, they will act on that whatever current economic realities.
But as it stands, the message the markets are acting on now is, "Get out before Jan. 20th!".
Unless Obama sends some message of reassurance that he isn't going to act, as promised, against the better interest of those who have to make a profit, it will only continue to get worse. And the tax revenue he imagined for his multi-billion dollar programs is disappearing fast.

Let's see...who was it 4 years ago, and 8 years ago that kept saying the popular vote was the one that counted??? Oh Yeah....the Democrats. I guess the eloctoral vote (which hasn't happened btw) only counts if you're the winner?!?! 
Clearly that's not the case. Bush was elected our President then, by a narrow margin. Obama was elected our President this time by a wide margin.

. . . It's the only one that makes a candidate "the winner." Obama won an obvious victory in both the popular and the electoral vote. On the other hand, Bush did not actually wn the popular vote in 2000, and the 2004 election was a lot closer than this year's. Also note that the electoral votes were very closely split in 2000 and 2004, whereas Obama got the electoral ballot more than 2-to-one over McCain.

you do realize you just complemented me right?
"But abstract thought provides something more: when involved in a creativity process, it acquires such a magnitude that ends up being a very strong stimulus, capable to promote the proliferation of dendrites and axons, thus creating many new synapses. In this way, abstract thought must be considered as a powerful stimulant for learning, knowledge and memory formation. "
ok , here, let me explain, for thought, abstract is good, for humor it is detrimental. lol.
