    It’s gonna be a mighty short ride for you a$$holes. Already Obama is telling you he cannot do shit in the first year or term…yet you fail to come to grips with the fact that rich guys who were smart are still going to be rich. And your shitty lives are going to be worse.

    Wake me up when Obama or Gregoire do anything significant…and be sure to let me know when do something vindictive to hurt me. I will let you know how much it hurts.

    My broker has a great new product. Tie up your money for 5 years, it’s insured and pays 6%. You can get your money out before 5 years with a diminishing penalty for every year it is in.

    Interested??

    It wasn’t very long ago that anyone who offered 6% on a 5-year term would have been laughed out of any respectable broker’s office. Hell, you couldn’t get me to tie up money for 5 years for 6% — that’s only 0.2% a year over the official inflation rate. Pretty good deal for the borrower, lousy deal for the lender. I’d rather put my money in historically cheap stocks.

    While I understand that we should not take pleasure in the agony of others, the Republican gnashing of teeth and rending of garments that is going on around us does cause me joy. Sorry. The recriminations between the Republican sects concerning why they lost the election are so entertaining. I am most pleased to see that most Republicans are in fantasyland about their loss. They think their brand is fundamentally sound, that this nation really is center-right, and getting Bush out of the way is all they need to have success next time. Oh, the taste of victory is sweet, and the prospect for ongoing victories into my dotage is even sweeter.

    Obama will certainly:
    – Reverse/ rescind the worldwide family planning “gag order” (also known as the Mexico City policy)
    – Reverse the Bush restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research
    – Reverse the Bush executive order that stops California from regulating carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles.

    (from WaPo reported by CBSNews)

    In addition, John Podesta has confirmed that Obama’s transition staff is actively reviewing ALL of President Bush’s executive orders, to see which ones he will reverse upon taking office.

But that being said, the state of Washington wont “inherit” a f*ching dime of his estate! Before he died he quit claimed his property as well as he was a Florida resident and as OJ said Florida has funny laws (he lived mostly in Washington but vacationed as well as voted in Florida). Florida has no estate tax!

    Here is the funniest, saddest, most pathetic leap off of a high dive into an empty pool that I have seen from any right wing whack job in a long, long time.

    WASHINGTON – A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.

    “It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he’s the one who proposed this national security force,” Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. “I’m just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism.”

    @Cynical (the idiot right wingnut)

    Hey, instead of your constant vitriol about Obama and what he will do, maybe you should READ what he will do instead of listening to Rush and Hannity lie and obfuscate.

    Here are the latest proposals from Obama to limit lobbyist influence and to include republicans. This is a welcome break from the K street project, the corruption, Abramoff, partisanship, republican loyal Bushie litmus tests in the Justice department, energy policy written by Enron lobbyists, FDA policy written by big Pharma…and on and on. Looks like the true patriots will be in charge and competence, fairness and justice will be served – not the partisan tramplers of the constitution. Seems the American people knew what they were doing when they threw out the bums and liars:

    There will be strong restrictions against lobbyist involvement in the transition: Lobbyists can’t contribute or raise money to fund the transition; anybody who has worked as a lobbyist over the last 12 months can’t shape policy and will have to cease all lobbying during the transition; and any transition staffers who become lobbyists afterwards won’t be able to lobby the White House for 12 months.

    • The Obama transition team is also launching a broad review of federal agencies — over 100 of them — so that the president and cabinet officers will have all the information they need to make decisions about those offices next year.

    • The cabinet will have not just Democrats, but also Republicans and independents, “not just at a token level.”

    CO2 from cars is the least of theiir problems…know what I mean?

    Sure I know exactly what you mean. You said:

    “None of you KLOWNS can articulate what it is Obama is going to do and the consequences.”

    You were wrong and won’t admit it, as usual.

    You have further revealed here that you don’t give a shit about what happens to anyone but you; that if a schools collapses on a child in California you’ll just say “And how does that affect me?” In other words, that you are just a typical empathy-free conservative. Not a revelation, but often hidden a bit better.

    However, to address your point, only very small portion of California is exposed to significant earthquake risk, but every population center is at risk from automobile pollution, and regulating carbon dioxide reduces the entire planet’s risk from the unwanted outcomes of global anthropocentric climate change. That includes you, whether you “give a shit” or not.

    I am certainly not going to waste my time educating a moron such as yoourself, because by your post you have demonstrated you are ineducable.

    Better for all Americans that you just park your fathers car in the garage, stuff towels under any cracks in the garage doors, start the engine up and lie back and wait for sleep to come.
