approval rate for congress?
Everybody is happy to see obama as president so I don't blame the media for protecting him. But you'd agree that it would not be the same if McCain was the president.
no one is whining here, just stating facts.

Remind me who just gained seats in the House and the Senate?
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

Congress always has a lower approval rating than the president. People think of Congress as a bunch of corrupt assholes who slow the president down (after they just elected him). Bush had a Republican Congress for 6 years, and they just lost seats 2 elections in a row. Looks like people are sick of Republicans, innit?
I keep thinking of Palin's nomination acceptance speech, when she started talking shit about "our do-nothing Congress." Hahahaha. Buzzwords can only get biyatches so far.
Honestly guys, I don't wanna fight about this anymore. I mean Obama won't even be in office for 11 more weeks. Once Obama starts screwing things up then I will listen to what you have to say. But until then, just lighten up and don't take it so badly. Its not like you are going to accomplish anything, and you'll probably make the Republican Party look even more irrelevant.
I mean I would have given McCain a chance if he had won, as I know he is thousands of times more responsible than Bush, so just do everyone a favor and quit bitching until Obama actually screws something up.

And I used to think fellow democrats wouldn't be gloating assholes if we won.
That was a long time ago.
Then again, this is a gaming board, and grace in victory, defeat, or otherwise is unthinkable.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

I didn't gloat in 2000 or 2004. I took it all in stride. And now, the GOP, especially the religious right are nearly committing hari-kari over the results. Cool - less votes against *That one* next time.
Seriously, it never cease to amaze me that the media didn't do their job in 2000 and let FOX News call the election - and now, when they are trying to keep it honest - even though it was late - folks want to call them out.
The GOP was losing and resorted to negative attacks and ads to win. And this is the same party pushing for an end to abortion, no gay rights and the end of Social Security and making sure health care is earned, not a right.
Thanks the Almighty it went to the Dems this time around.
A pass? Nah - they will call Obama out if he messes up. His camp - with the exception being Joe - was flawless and disciplined. If there's nada to report, there's nada to report. Fabricating news? That's FOX New's job.

Did you see this place last night? I was genuinely amazed at how civil everyone was (minus the few loons who were banned saying Obama was a terrorist and was going to get assasinated). I went out of the way to be civil myself. The only reason mafoo has provoked the kind of responses he has is because he hasn't budged an inch from where he was before the election.
Its fine if you don't like a candidate. That is what America is based on. But pissing in the well is just a waste of time, especially if you come in with a chip on your shoulder before Obama has been in office for even one day.
And seriously, if someone is that dissatisfied with their country they can always pick up and leave.

What does my comment have to do with the media?

Let me correct that. I didn't just mean since yesterday. I meant this past several months. I often (not always, or the majority of the time) saw less support for him and more wanting his opponents to lose, which is what is basically what this site is like at its worst.
And that bolded comment is what bush's supporters used to say, as another way to shut up critics. Just because it's your side doesn't magically make that bs into something valid.

Yeah, the "love it or leave it" argument is really stupid and not valid at all. But it's still fun to throw it back at the assholes who coined it for years. In fact, Mafoo's said he'll leave the country if Obama wins several times now, and even started a thread for finding a good country.
