Wasn't it Uncle Ben that eased minds on Wall Street today? We'll have to see what happens tomorrow to detect an Obama connection. Hopefully he'll do well since we can all use a little good news.

He learned it's best to speak AFTER the market closes. Baby Steps!

"OK, we're done . . .

I can see no other purpose to this thread other than to get the usual reactions from the usual folks. You all have each others ID's . . . continue this useless, endless partisan argument offline. Thank you.

Yeah, I give you less than eight hours and counting down. Wouldn't it be cool if just one man could influence all those events with - like - a universal remote control? No wait, they made that movie, right?

I'm just an average guy. I'm well educated, work hard, try to be honest, and try to do the good and right things in life. Maybe I'm naive, but I thought his speech was great and his plan fantastic. I love our president and our country.

I used to think of the Arab-Israeli conflict as two scorpions in a bottle.

Sometimes they are quiet, not fighting, but the tiniest little tap on the glass and they begin to strike. Neither can destroy the other and no one will win. At least not any time soon. Eventually they calm down a bit, but before long there's another tap on the glass and they are back at it again.

Perhaps both the US and this forum are becoming more and more like them.

PS - I miss W, now that we don't have him to kick around anymore. Such an easy target. OK, OK, that was a joke, not an actual tap on the glass.

Man, I wish I had read this before I ate.

Prediction:

BBD does not lock this thread as long as it stays pro-bama.

Nice! Now he can't win regardless of what he does.

Now I know what Pete feels like. It's like trying to keep order in a kindergarten class. Go ahead, you guys, tear each other apart. Insult Obama. Insult Bush. Insult everyone and everything. Have a ball. You just love having at each other too much. I'm going to NAHBS and I may not look at the forum all frickin' week.
