#4 Wonder about how deep his concern is for the people being killed in Congo, or Darfur, or Nigeria, or...

#6 The gray comes from concern about Fitzgerald and the recorded phone conversations.

#8 Announcing he is "concerned" is the executive branch version of voting "present"

#9 he has nothing to gain by talking now, why would he?

OMG, hes a self interested pol!!!! I for one, am glad of that, I didnt want a messiah, and im glad hes acting alot more like a Clinton. His worst step on national security so far is teh Panetta appointment, where hes playing to his base. kinda.

Tough decisions? Hes moving ahead making tough decisions on the economy. he didnt want to have a crisis in Gaza. But hell, shit happens.

#10 The gray comes from a bottle, little at a time. Adds gravitas, don't you know.

Hopey. Changey. Schtick.

You may not have wanted a messiah; apparently a lot of voters did.

It's gonna be a long and black-humor-filled four years.

#12 Sorry, Pappy, but I think that's gonna be a long eight years.

#13 If I'm still among the living in eight years, I'll still be in disbelief that the American people elected this fellow. Of course I said the same thing about Slick Willie.

#14 If the Pope of Hope's base is as dissatified with him now before he even takes office I don't see him lasting 8 years.

#15 Obambi won't survive four years. He's like a hothouse plant left in the back yard over winter. He's never had a job with stress attached to it. He'll wilt faster than the plant. Unfortunately, his departure would leave us with Joe Biden, the longest-living brain-dead Senator of all time.

#18 What I ment to say was, "The Pope of Hope's Base is dissatisfied with him NOW so I don't see him lasting 8 years".

#19 Actually, the IDF is probably fine with his expression of concern, so long as resupply is unaffected and the Corps tunnel research continues.
