POPSMAI ELOQUENCE: LET ME SHO U IT! Like a lot of people who love language, George Bush's inarticulence and sloppy thinking (as expressed in his speech) over the last eight years have been excruciatingly painful to me. Obama's a fine speaker by any standard, and in comparison to Bush... heaven!

POPSA 2008 post-election promise More: No presidential candidate in my lifetime has inspired me as much as has our new President-Elect, Barack Obama. On election night, in the spirit of unity and conciliation, he asked us to “resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics”. He asked us to remember the values we all share, and he promised that he would be the leader of all Americans, not just the ones whose support he already has. In this same spirit, I wish to refrain, at this historical moment, from pointing out that your first major prediction for the post-Obama world — that angry coloreds would riot in the streets — has utterly failed to come true. Now is not the time for blame. Now is the time to put one another at ease, not to put one another on edge.

POPSSemper Vigilans More: What makes me a screaming leftist? That I think the Gov’t isn’t the source of power. That I think the Gov’t has NO rights, but that its authority is on loan from We, the People. I think the Preamble means a lot, and that promoting the general welfare, establishing justice and securing the blessings of liberty are what the gov’t is for. The most important job of the President isn’t “keeping America safe” at home, it’s seeing to it we don’t fragment into a couple of hundred petty countries vying with one another for those things we bound ourselves together to obtain… The stables are filthy and the folks who fouled them aren’t going to easily be persuaded to clean them. They work for us, and at our pleasure. Since I’m more than a trifle displeased, they need to be reminded, and nagged, harried, pressed, until things are better.When they do well…they need some praise…being hounded is demoralising.

POPSGA GOP congressman calls Obamas "uppity" I don't believe he didn't know that "uppity" was commonly used as a derogatory term. I think it's impossible that somebody born in 1950 who grew up in the segregated South doesn't know that.
