On the other hand, we have been on the historically correct side of every issue. I am willing to wait for Prez-O's first 100 days in office before rending my garments (my PROUD TO BE A LIBERAL tee-shirt,) Meanwhile, many of his appointments seem mealymouthed to me. We'll see. Now, excuse me, I have a party to get ready to ruin. Liberals are under attack both from the Republicans and from “centrist” Democrats for being dour, pissy, and no fun at a party.

We are in an economic crisis here, what is wrong with appointing individuals who obviously worked for economic growth during the Clinton era. You just being myopic. The republicans are accusing him of being the most liberal senator. Now homosexuals are accusing him of being a republican. Do you want him to go march with you in the streets against prop 8, when the most urgent issue that faces all Americans today is the ECONOMY. I am gay, I want equal rights for gays for the rest of the country just like we have in my state of Massachusetts, but loosing my job will hurt me more right now.

He's going to put Ms. Bush-in-a-pants-suit in as Secretary of State. You remember, she was the one that also wanted a continued and everlasting "presence" in Iraq. And he's keeping on Gates. You know, the guy that facilitated virtually every scam, scheme, embezzlement and cronyism of the Iraq war for W? AND his idea of national healthcare is to pass a law FORCING Americans to contribute to the revenue raiding insurance execs who are already bleeding Americans to the tune of tens and hundreds of millions of dollars every year while claiming they have to cut back benefits to the subscribers they have now. Also, did anyone else catch Barney Frank dismissing concerns regarding these profane annual compensations for the corporate Fat Cats on D L Hughley's show on CNN by stating: Well, don't worry about those CEO's, they're going to have that money anyway. So, yeah, HE's REAL concerned about where all that taxpayer money is actually going. So, about all of this CHANGE? Same ol' same ol' and he hasn't even started yet. He flat out told all of us his hero is Ronald Reagan.
