[quote=sd_bear]I think all the Obama bashing is hysterical. I don’t agree with the stimulus or the bailouts one bit, but I’m not fooling myself into thinking McCain wouldn’t do the exact same thing. It was Bush who pushed out the first 700 billion TARP and that 150 billion stimulus last year. As far as the economy goes both parties are completely in the dark and are taking the wrong actions. That’s why I base my vote generally on social issues.

Agreed. I voted for Obama for social issues too. However that, and Bush/McCain’s guilt, do not absolve Obama for completely screwing the pooch. So far, to be fair, he has su-u-u-ucked. Less bad than the alternative, but still bad. Obama bashing isn’t hysterical at all. It’s very realistic. And it does not constitute a vote of confidence for the mainstream competition. It’s a vote of no-confidence for the lesser of two evils. That’s the very sad state we find ourselves in.
