          Geez guys, give him a chance to prove himself.

          No. I was just raising an eyebrow at his choice for chief of staff. I would never question a man's right to choose a puppy. as long as lipstick is in the discussion, maybe he should get a pig.

          I think he should get 2 puppies. he's got to 2 little girls. let's name them Hope and Change.

          BTW did you hear Barney the White House Dog bit a member of the WH press corps a day or so ago? I think it was Don Gagne of NPR. 🤣

            Don't be too hard on them - it's not easy letting go of 8 years of irratational bitterness. Don't they know that prolonged hatred and unresolved anger issues can lead to serious health problems?

            All in all, though, you were right - dems seem to be all about emotionalism. At least, it's sure being borne out here...

              I suffered in silence through 8 years of Clinton (allowing Loral to transfer multiple warhead missile technology to the Chinese, the firing of ALL 50 US Attorneys, the pardoning of criminals like Mark Rich, on and on). I didn't cry and whine and threaten to move out of the country, nor did I gloat about Bush (both times) to my liberal friends.

                    Exactly. Hollywood libs who cry and whine and threaten to move away have plenty of choices. It's not so easy for conservatives who believe in limited government as envisioned by the Founders.

                      Hmpf.

                      War mongering. Staunchly lying to the UN. Illegally obducting foreign nationals. Torture. Detaining foreign nationals on refutable grounds. Violating international law. Bullying. Arrogance. Cynicism.

                      Complaining about this, protesting against this, is not 'bitterness'. Neither is it irrational. It's common decency. It's normal.

                        I'm thoroughly disappointed in many of Bush's policies, so I'm not defending. I'm pointing out the irrational bitterness and hatred that started before he even took the Oath of Office.

                        Interesting you noted "arrogance" (another word for "audacity")...

                            Errr. No. Arrogance isn't vaguely related to audacity, it's more like stupidity and ignorance. Everyone from around the world can see that this guy had below average IQ and a failure to grasp some of the finer complexities of the World. It was plainly obvious from the moment he opened his mouth and I quote:

                            • "We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease." —Gothenburg, Sweden, June 14, 2001".
                            • "Do you have blacks, too?" —to Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso, Washington, D.C., Nov. 8, 2001
                            • "We need an energy bill that encourages consumption." —Trenton, N.J., Sept. 23, 2002
                            • "Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties." —discussing the Iraq war with Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson, as quoted by Robertson
                            • "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." —State of the Union Address, Jan. 28, 2003, making a claim that administration officials knew at the time to be false
                            • I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job." —to a group of Amish he met with privately, July 9, 2004
                              and so on and so forth

                            What happened when he took office is plain proof that for some people, first impression is enough to judge them. The guys is close to being a retard.

                                  I'm sure he knows what it means. I'm also sure that the meaning of words can overlap to some extent without the words being exact synonyms.

                                  Heh ... he beat me to it.

                                    Lets just say the part of US that inspires the World isn't the part that voted for G.W.Bush. It is the part that voted for Obama.

                                          Oooh, you found two sources that didn't include the word "arrogance". 😒
                                          Your first one uses "arrogance" as the definition of audacity. Does that mean you'll edit again to remove it?
                                          Also, arrogance is not tied to stupidity and ignorance in the dictionary. It's tied to "overbearing" and "presumptious".
                                          Now, the point is, the two words have very similar meanings, and can sometimes be used interchangeably (as noted by stinkie). Would it make you feel better if I rephrased my statement? Try this:
                                          Interesting you noted "arrogance" (a word quite similar to "audacity" in many thesauri)...

                                          I'd disagree with that somewhat as well. You're comparing unrelated entities, which skews the results of your conclusion, and making a broad generalization that probably is inaccurate at many levels. For instance, anyone who voted for Bush AND Obama would become simultaneously inspiring and uninspiring, which would disprove your statement. But like I said originally, I'm not supporting Bush here.

                                            Well, it's just too damn bad you can't vote, isn't it?

                                            Not really. Didn't you read the papers?

                                            Not sure I understand what you mean.
