In his resignation letter to Obama, Caldera said, "I have concluded that the controversy surrounding the Presidential Airlift Group's aerial photo shoot over New York City has made it impossible for me to effectively lead the White House Military Office. Moreover, it has become a distraction to the important work you are doing as president. After much reflection, I believe it is incumbent on me to tender my resignation and step down as director of the White House Military Office."

Well, I'm sure that there is a very logical smilewinkgrin spin --er, reason for this fiasco, but I see it as either an administration that has no qualms about sacrificing an underling for political expediency or/and an administration that has loose cannons running around under nobody's control.

In either case, we are seeing the flaws of taking a stock clerk and putting him in the CEO slot!

Well, some of you folks wanted change - you are getting it; in spades!!!:BangHead:

And I am very thankful to God for that. :godisgood:

So you say now...

Give it a little time, you may change your tune.

I remember during the campaign how folks would say that a McCain/Palin administration would just be a "Bush 3" administration.

Now I see that an Obama/Biden administration is a "Clinton 3" administration.

Clinton was child's play compared to what we are getting now. God help us!!

Perhaps I should have said "Clinton 3XXL".:laugh:

I know I shouldn't laugh but sometimes that's all that's left.

Better do it now, cause sometime down the road (barring a divine intervention) nobody except the elite are gonna be laughing!

I just hope that He returns before we hit that point.

MARANATHA!!!!!

During the Clinton years we had great prosperity for the middle class and a budget surplus. Clinton's problems were personal and not how he governed. So why would Clinton 3 be so bad if we eliminate the personal problems? Isn't a budget surplus a good thing?

I marked your post so we can revisit this statement at the end of Obama first term. It will be interesting to see if your predictions are correct or not. So far this prediction is opposite reality to include having an administration that hold people accountable for mistakes. Unlike Bush who gave the FEMA director an award for the Katrina debacle.

It's nothing more than sour grapes by some conservatives, LeBuick, even though it is 6 months since they were defeated soundly at the polls.

Apparently, some conservatives only think well of the United States when their side wins elections; otherwise, they evidently think that America is an awful country if their side is not in charge.

As for me, I love America now just as I have always loved this country for my entire life.

You're silly conclusions about judging others regarding our love for our country would be funny ........... if it weren't so tragic that your mind set seems to mimic the DHS, which would condemn anyone who dissents from popular opinion.

Sadly, your kind of democracy may finally work..... where those who poll the most numbers or talk the loudest get heard..... and others are marginalized and ridiculed because their thought doesn't line up with your opinion.

Well, one day it wont matter anymore.

There's a broad gate and many go therein.....

And there's a narrow gate which few find.....

The liberty which our forefathers fought, lived and died for was so everyone could speak and dialogue without confusing differences of opinion with love for country. Ken, you should be ashamed though I think you are not and don't even have a clue. If you were just one voice it wouldn't matter so much. The fact that you are one who parrots the many voices I've been hearing from others, and the fact that you call your self a Christian which my Bible says we should have love for each other.... but that is not what I hear from you when jump a great gulf to fantastic conclusions which no logic can follow.

A lot of things love is....not proud, not boastful, respectful and preferring one another, taking no pleasure in iniquity or sin, covering-hiding-forgiving the minor offenses of each other, slow to offend, when uncertain of judgement..... hoping the best.

I respectfully suggest that you straighten out the folks on your side of the political aisle before addressing me in that manner.
