Counting on it and wishing him well...he'd better hurry, though, most of us can't hold out much longer.

Now, before someone flips out from reading too much into my comment, I'm not saying Obama is Hitler. I'm saying an ideologue will take advantage of a bad situation to further his agenda.
Yeah, you could have just as easily said "Cheney"...

As an outside observer, I find it hard to reconcile these two contributions:-

You missed the point. I wasn't saying McCain would have been better, I was saying the libs' reaction to McCain would have been more pronounced had he done what Obama is doing.

he's the most divisive president in the last 30 years.
Surely the point of the apparent polarization over Obama’s policies is a sign that the political right is much less willing to meet any other opinion even half-way than is the political left….hence they are generally the more partisan of the two.
If you actually look at the individual approval rating you will notice that the two lowest approvals (26% and 27%) are both Republican…by a very substantial margin, suggesting that Republicans are far less tolerant of any policies other than their own than are Democrats. It also seems to be the case that when a Republican president is in office the Democratic rating is usually within 10 or 20% of the Independent whilst the Republican approval goes stratospheric...suggesting the same thing.
