And if it's an op-ed, my bad, I found it in the US news section on nbc's page. perhaps you should tell them.

Because you chose to give a leading question which did not truthfully address my post.

So can we opine on Obama's choices and other actions or should we restrict ourselves to colorful platitudes until Jan 20th?

Go for it, your op-ed does not make your argument for you though. So be sure to bring up the relevant action.

Why not? I am simply pointing out that the canidate that one on hope and change thus far seems marred in scandals and opined on the reasons why.

The fact that you have issues with my criticism of the new President simply due to it not being a certain date speaks more to your failures than to the Good Reverend's.

I doubt that, I think Obama will continue the war. Maybe not in Iraq, but probably somewhere in that area. I don't trust him to get us out of the war.

Dems Usher in New Era of Dull Scandals

The Democratic party may be marred in scandals, but they didn't win on promises of hope and change. They won on the unpopularity of the incumbent president.

I don't forsee him creating any new wars. He has said that Afghanistan is next, so obviously Bush's war will be continued to completion.

Why is it that none of those scandals pertain to the Obama administration? And the ones that do are being addressed by the Obama administration as opposed to the last administration who waited until it was too late(Rumsfeld) or simply ignored the questions being raised(Cheney-Halliburton)?

Government loves war, it justifies their expansion of power and build up of their might. It's not just a Bush or Obama thing...government loves war. That's why it was supposed to be restricted in the ways and reasons it could go to war. But we don't seem to care much for checks and balances and the Constitution these days.

Interesting opinion, so you are saying Obama was a lesser of two evils and there is no cult of personality here?

You don't remember obama campaigning on hope and change? Is this now thrown out the window because reality is setting in?
