Everyone is complaining about giving out handouts yet we spend billions every year on foreign countries that would just as well cut our throats the first chance they get...I would prefer to spread the wealth internally myself...
Do you really think we would be any better off with McCain & Palin running her mouth off every chance she gets??
Regardless of who voted for him, how many votes (popular or electoral) he got, he is now our president for the next couple of years and we need to refrain from undermining everything he is doing for the good of the country.

I agree with much of what you said. The part I question is whether or not he has the best interest of the country at heart. I think he thinks government is the answer to everything, and he's a good enough politician that he realizes that's what many who vote democrat believe. If the Republicans can't find a dynamic party leader, they'll lose again in 12. I don't find Palin to appear especially bright. Once she gets through a few buzz words, she doesn't appear to have any depth of knowledge about much of anything. Although she is pretty nice looking.
But a little bit of that accent wears on me rather quickly.
With all of that said, the idea that some loopey broad like Pelosi, who I can't, and wouldn't vote for, can have any impact on my life drives me nuts. Just because a bunch of granola people keep sending her to Washington should not impact me, but it does. I'll also make it clear that I believe Obama's skin pigmentation is a factor in more people voting for him than against him. However, If JC Watts was running for President, he would get a lot more white votes than black votes. It's not about color, it's about ideology. Blacks are not going to vote Republican because the Democrat party has convinced most that it has their best interest at heart. I don't think that's true. They only care about getting reelected.
