“I’ve said many times that McCain was an awful candidate, but he would have been a hell of a lot better for the country than Obama. It will probably take a year before the extent of the damage is truly visible, but at that point, it’s too late.”

They didn’t deserve another chance (and I won’t get started with the Palin farce). I don’t believe Obama is the Messiah and I don’t think he’ll be able to accomplish even half of what he wants. But hes a smart guy, well-spoken, well-educated, and really hard-working. Oh…and really level-headed. He’ll be fine. McCain was none of those things and his policy proposals were awful. He was an awful candidate and I’m still shocked that he won the nomination. He had to have had the absolutely worst-run campaign in recent memory. Obama won in pretty much a landslide and it wasn’t hard to see why.

You’re more optimistic than I am if you think he’ll be able to do much in a years time. I’d love to know exactly what you think will be any more damaging than the wreck we’ve been going through the last 8 years culminating with the real crash the last several months.

Yes it was our election but to believe that the rest of the world should be ignored is naive. We are a “world citizen” and the President of the United States is the leader of the free world. What we do and how we do it matters. A lot. George Bush destroyed our reputation. Obama, even without being sworn in yet, has already fixed some of that.

Oh..and I’m looking forward to someone who can actually speak deliver the State of the Union address. It will be a breath of fresh air after the last eight.

He also said that when he feels that Obama is doing the right thing, that Hannity will support him fully. Conversely, when he feels Obama is going to do something wrong, he will condemn it — just has he has for the last several presidents. (Including George W. Bush)
