jso, just be patient. Those who booed today will taste their own bitterness soon enough.

This nation bought a pig in a poke. We still don't know what we are in for from this completely unknown.

He may be good, and he just may make George Bush look really good by comparison.

I was always taught that the measure of a man is a summation of his actions. Words, style, and promises mean diddly squat. Obama hasn't done one damned thing. Ever. Nothing. Ever. He got elected to the Senate? With Chicago-style politics?

Does that not trouble anyone that other than election, he has never even had a real job?

Today, that was one of the more shameful moments for Americans. But the bulk of Americans today are an embarrassment. Many uneducated in spite of education, many are rude because they lack any polish, and as a group think everything should be done for them.

I think Michael C. Riggs said it best, "A turd, encased in a fine silk sock, at the end of the day, is still a turd."

We shall see.

The Booing was shameful

Shameful because people don't remember, or conveniently forget.

They don't remember that a wartime President is always unpopular; they send our children to die.

They don't remember that a President can in reality do virtually nothing without approval of the House and Senate.

They don't remember when the House and Senate voted almost unanimously to take the very actions everyone now demonizes President Bush for.

They don't remember that the only political approval ratings that have ever been lower than President Bush, was this House and Senate.

They don't remember that prior to electing a Liberal House and Senate, the economy was booming and the jobless rate was at an historic low.

They don't remember, or make up fantasy scenarios about, the attack on us on 911.

They don't remember that we have not been attacked since, and that in fact, due to the security measures implemented by this man you all so easily demonize; numerous attacks have been foiled.

Nobody remembers what it is like to stand by your convictions even when the whole world thinks you are wrong. And keep a country safe.

Nobody knows what it is like to send young men and women off to die in a foreign country, unless you have commanded troops yourself.

So sure, Boo him...

All of you that are safe, un-attacked by terrorism, not serving your country, or living in a fantasy 911 world, boo away.

There are those of us that remember, those of us that served and those of us that see and understand.

Semper
