Obama will go down in history as someone akin to MLK or Mandela

[steve2470]

He is risking his life to help all of us. I think we all need to dwell upon this fact if we feel tempted to berate or criticize him. God be with him, and GO OBAMA !!!!!!!!

1. probably much bigger

The contrast of what an Obama presidency would bring after 8 dark years of Bush. It'll be huge. Or hugh!!1, as the kids like to say.

2. GOD bless Barak Obama!

3. or FDR n/t

[silverojo]

4. Definitely more like FDR

Because he'll bring this country back from this Repuke Depression, and put people to work again. :patriot:

10. now that I've thought more about this post, yes, I think FDR is a more apt analogy nt

5. I, for one, hope Obama does NOT get assassinated or wrongfully imprisoned for decades

But that's just me. YMMV.

I think we all need to dwell upon this fact if we feel tempted to berate or criticize him.

I have nothing but support for him for at the moment. I think it's fine for all of us to enjoy the "beer goggle" moment of having the clearly superior Presidential candidate. We've earned that.

But make no mistake, once he's in office the rules will change (and I don't just mean the operative DU moderation policy). No President is above criticism!

6. I agree with you about the criticism actually

I was only saying, try not to be too harsh on the guy.

7. He'll have to work pretty hard to earn harshness from me

Compared to what we've been subjected to for nearly eight years, even a do-nothing President with no money to spend prosecuting endless wars would be a major blessing, something that would give our country's reputation a chance to start healing.

9. In traditional society,

when a young man or woman is attempting something very important, we (elders) say, "All of your ancestors, and your ancestors' ancestors going back to the ancient ones, lived their lives, to prepare you for your's." And so it is, with this wonderful young man, Barack Obama.

11. Also John and Bobby Kennedy.

12. Let's win first

Before we place him in a Pantheon of Greats.

13. Naw, let's start planning to put his face on Mount Rushmore now!

That's one of the first things the Reaganistas did when their guy got in.
