Brains Are Back!

I voted McCain, however we now have Obama, he is our president. My biggest concern is that he will try to overcorrect everything. He appears to be a very intelligent person, however he might be lacking (as so many intellects are) in the common sense department. Sorry folks but from day one he reminded me of the con artist telling the widow how she needed to "invest" her late husbands life insurance with him. Say what you need to to get the job done weather you mean it or not. That is the reason I did not vote for him, I hope those of you that voted for him are right.

I can't believe you.
If we don't think or feel the way you do we have no brains?
You really need to reevaluate your own IQ.

I certainly hope this author feels better after such an emotional rant. I suspect he includes himself among the intelligencia he seems to suggest were so oppressed.

However, I believe his bitterness and resentment are misplaced as he has clearly misinterpreted the situation as a lack of intellectualism. When in fact, the Bush regime and, more to the point, the Neo-conservative movement were full of extremely "intelligent" and sophisticated thinkers. These thinkers managed to hijack Governement and brainwash a Congress, a people and Country. Not unlike Nazi era fascism, this level of mass manipulation is no small task and should not be misconstrued as ignorance or unintelligent. To this end, it appears that this author is complaining more about his disagreement with the Neo-con value chain and decision making process than a true lack of intellectual thought.

Obviously, the Administration and the Neo-con decisions came with significant negative consequences. Of course, their decisions and actions provided many significant outcomes that many appreciate. For example, the petroleum and war industries must truly appreciate the Bush/Neo-con agenda. Thus, we could describe the author as a naive intellectual, in that he fails to recognize that the Bush/Neo-con movement may not have pursued the same goals that the author "assumes" any Administration should naturally pursue. To this end, how can we know for sure that the Bush/Neo-con/Fascist Administration didnt successfully accomplish its primary goals? How do we know for sure, what Obama and socialist movement will actually do?

Never trust Government. Not even an "intellectual" and altruistic government.

For the record, I voted for Obama.

Nothing here? Just like newsweak - crawl in a hole.

Well, you are in charge now. Doesn't matter what I think.

I sincerely hope the person who wrote this article be force to choke on his own words and find misery at his door......

Well, buzzyboy - I am an independent registered voter, Seems as if the Democrats played the "race & fear card".

As a christian, I don't believe that God is separate from anything. I do not agree that Barack Obama has separated "church from state." I don't believe that you have to shelve your heart in order to use your brain--God created both. I believe that we will see in Obama the ability to use his brain, while he draws strength through his heart, a noble example for us all.

Let's not forget that christians and religious people are as much of a part of this culture as anyone else. We voted and have the right to vote. We contribute and should contribute. I am hoping that the lesson we learned about racial ignorance gets learned for spiritual ignorance as well. We can all get along if we try.

...and who is that's trampling on the constitution, the Republicans or the Democrat's who want to take free speech off the radio and take away your right to a secret ballot in the workplace?

Hey, I am just a dumbshit from Iowa. I certainly am more intelligent than the little kids, and most of the blacks that voted for Obama! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! Change, Change, Change, oh and Save the World why you're at at it.

Mr. Obama may be a qualified public speaker and 'spin doctor,' but when he justifies killing innocent babies in a misguided attempt at preserving so-called choice, I must question his logical thinking. No amount of pragmatic thinking on other, lesser, topics can eclipse such a foundational intellectual error.

On the other hand, Mr. Bush wasn't a gifted speaker, but at least he made policy to protect the most innocent among us - unborn children.

I agree!! I am so relieved that finally we chose a leader who has earned his way there, through hard work, character, education and brains. Nepotism, manipulation and politics of fear have nothing to do with his rise or appeal. What a juxtaposition to Bush who as you said could not form a coherent, much less correct sentence. He has the weight of expectation on his shoulders. But he has also challenged all of us to step up and make sacrifices. That does not mean wearing a flag pin and climbing in to your Hummer to spend another day charging it up at the mall. I am ready, to step up to the challenge for the good of us all. And I am ready for history to examine the shameful administration of Bush for their moral, ethical, financial and quite frankly intellectual failings!

Yeah I'm not too happy about the appointment of Rahm to office but hey. I guess he had to represent.
I think the biggest disappointment with Obama is going to come from this: the appointment he makes. because they will define his presidency too and if you shoose partisans or people with biiig ties to lobbies you're doomed and I don't like the look of it

I am an independent that supported McCain because national security was the issue I was most concerned about and know Obama is very weak and naive in this field. So I guess me and the 50 million Americans that voted for McCain shouldn't be pround to be Americans????? You are proud to be American because of a presidental elections? I'm just as pround of American now as i was in 1977 when I joined the military. I have always been proud of American not matter who the president is because I know the great good we do. I'm in the Sudan right now and many here are very happy Obama won and they realize that for many the food they are eating was provided by the Americans even with Bush in the White House. In fact if not for American a lot of the peopel here would stave since the local government isn't providing them any food or medicine or anything else. I can remember being spit on in the 70's and early 80's because I was an American. I can remember the Yankee go home protest and graffiti writen on many walls in Europe and of course it was written in English just to make sure I knew what it said. You see being proud of America in good times and bad is the best part of being American because we know the sun will come out tomorrow and that no matter how bad the times may get we know as Amercans we will get through them. You sir are no American please find someplace else to live, because in 4 years America may decide to replace Obama with a Republican and thus you will again not be proud of America.
