That’s why we the people need to cut him some slack ...

I will cut LaBomba as much slack as he and the rest of the 'Rats cut Bush during the last eight years. Deal? No? Why not?

... and resist the temptation to nitpick, ...

I won't nitpick Obortion any more than he and the 'rats did Bush. That means Obomba will get blamed for every hurricane, every too hot summer or too cold winter, every downturn in the economy, every setback abroad, ebery time I have diarrhea or my kid has a cold, every time my wife burns the supper, it will all be "Obomba's fault!"

... to continue the mean-spiritedness that has infected our nation and has made a sport out of making sport of someone we don’t particularly like.

Hey, I won't be any more "mean-spirited" than the 'Rats have been. Check with Joe Wurtzelbacher on that.

Two teens fatally shot on South Side

November 7, 2008
Sun-Times News Group

Two teenagers were fatally shot Thursday on Chicago’s South Side.

The boys, ages 15 and 17, were shot in the 6300 block of South Laflin Street, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. The 15-year-old was pronounced dead on the scene at 7:06 p.m. and the 17-year-old at 7:05 p.m. Autopsies are scheduled for later Friday.

Police responded to the shooting about 5:15 p.m. and found the teens unresponsive, police News Affairs Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti said.

Fire Media Affairs Director Larry Langford said one teen was found dead in the street and the other was found in an alley between Laflin and Justine streets.

Wentworth Area detectives are investigating.

we must move beyond it and work together to get our country moving again.”

Every time someone says this, a cosmic fist should come out of the air and punch them right in the kisser. The country never stands still waiting for some politician or pundit to "get it moving."

This is a presidency acquired through lies, fraud and deceit. They were willing to do anything to obtain power and will do anything to keep it. Let's not fool ourselves.

I will give the same amount of respect, consideration, and benefit of the doubt to “the One”, as the Dems, media, KOS kids, and DUmmies, gave to Bush.

Heard about on some show while surfing on the radion this morning. Don’t we have child labor laws? A child can only work, for money, at a certain age and for a limited number of hours in a day, week and month? This reads as mandatory conscription, for a child not less(there ia “non-productive” retiree component as well, for those of you over 55 years}.

Have to pull out my little red book of the constitution but there is a 13th ammendment that prohibites the government or anyone else from requiring another American to perform some servile act.

Who the hell gave these guys the imprimature to require any of us, much less a child, to perform a public act of service, in a function they choose? This is not an act of charity. It is work even if they say you will get something return. For only you decide if you want to give your time away for free or if there will be a reciprical value for your work. You decide what the terms are and what your service is worth. Not the government.

Gracious service to another human being is a charity ONLY when performed of your own volition.

After eight years of some of the most vicious, nasty, outrageous, vitriolic, crude, rude and lewd remarks made about President Bush and his administration, now we’re all supposed to come together and support the new administration?

Democrats shouldn’t expect a better level of respect than they showed the previous administration.

No slack is merited.

Obama's first act as President-Elect was to select this guy to be White House Chief of Staff.

Yes, there was much anger and even considerable suspicion regarding the election, bad feelings that remain to this day. But it’s different this time.

Sure. And do you know what's different about it? The Dems won. That's the only difference.

What you are proposing is two sets of rules here, essentially the same followed by the partisan MSM. I am disinclined to embrace unity with people who have spent the last two decades spitting at me. The Dems have set the standard for a minority position: lies, hatred, crudity, and unreasoning fury every time anything doesn't go their way. It's payback time.

No unity. No support. No slack. No sale.

I intend to respect the office of POTUS! Just as in the military you must respect the rank, even if the person filling the position is a d#ckhead!

But, if you think I am going to “cut him some slack” and lower my expectations - you are wrong, dead wrong!
Senator Obama promised affordable energy, more jobs, no strip-mining of the 2nd amendment, insurance for my family, rainbows, unicorns, lions sleeping with the lambs, foreign nations knocking on our doors with flowers and love beads!
I am not going to ACCEPT anything less!

Most of the US public and all of the world didn’t give President Bush any slack, so why should we give this man any?

I plan on giving President Obama the same respect the left has shown to President Bush. I have already begun practicing “It's O’s fault!” so it is a natural response to anything bad.

“Cut him slack.”

Fuggetaboutit.

Dethrone the anti-Christ. Drive it back to Hell whence it came, along with all its minions, pelosi, reid, rahm, soros, etc.
