then why have you been so harsh on the president?
I have been hard on his move to socialism and his dismanteling of security ops--which is my opinion.
I think these moves will be very detimental down the road as I am very conservative and pro capitalism.
--BUT because that is
my opinion does not make it correct--the proof will be in results--and while economical #'s are quite dismal in 1st 100 days--I don't think it is relative to what true results will be--so think he deserves benefit of doubt.
If we get same results down the road as Carter or get hit again because of his Kumbaya approach to terrorism--then I'll get out the rope.
--on socialism--have been perplexed at recent poll where 48% of population leaned toward socialism-read article this morning @ WSJ that somewhat explained it.

Free enterprise is culturally mainstream, for the moment. Asked in a Rasmussen poll conducted this month to choose the better system between capitalism and socialism, 13% of respondents over 40 chose socialism. For those under 30, this percentage rose to 33%.
(Republicans were 11 times more likely to prefer capitalism than socialism; Democrats were almost evenly split between the two systems.)
The government has been abetting this trend for years by exempting an increasing number of Americans from federal taxation. My colleague Adam Lerrick showed in these pages last year that
the percentage of American adults who have no federal income-tax liability will rise to 49% from 40% under Mr. Obama's tax plan. Another 11% will pay less than 5% of their income in federal income taxes and less than $1,000 in total.
To put a modern twist on the old axiom, a man who is not a socialist at 20 has no heart; a man who is still a socialist at 40 either has no head, or pays no taxes. Social Democrats are working to create a society where the majority are net recipients of the "sharing economy." They are fighting a culture war of attrition with economic tools. Defenders of capitalism risk getting caught flat-footed with increasingly antiquated arguments that free enterprise is a Main Street pocketbook issue. Progressives are working relentlessly to see that it is not.

Trench- Gumby and Buckwheat are 2 entirely diff entities--Buckwheat is a stereotype for a black person. Gumby was animated figure with no racial designation--only thing remotely linking him to race is he was played on Saturday Night Live by Eddie Murphy--My intended link to O and Gumby is their attitude-On gumby's character played by Murphy his excuse for everything was I'm Gumby Damit--O is mirrored by "I won" or "it was GW".
