360 is the more commonly used term. Changed anyway to keep people from jumping on it. They will anyway.

Well just as we have misguided Obama supporters so we also have Misguided
Obama haters. Judging by the vitriol. I'll take the supporters any day.

Dethtoll, I am not wearing rose colored glasses not do I think the problems will be fixed immediately. Saying I need a horse tranquilizer or foam at the mouth or calling me an assfuck isn't helping matters.
Coming in and saying that it isn't going to be fixed in 4 or 8 years and then just leaving it at that leaves one with the impression you don't think it can be fixed at all.
You are the one who's failing to be concise and get your real point across instead of having to come back in after the train wreck and tell us you didn't mean to change the signal like that. You are the assfuck my friend. Deal with it.

What really blows my mind is that Obama has broken most of his campaign promises already (and he's not even in office yet), proving himself to be far more centrist and moderate than anyone really imagined...
... and yet both hardcore leftists and hardcore rightists are still operating under the fiction that he's the liberal socialist harbinger of collectivism.
I changed my opinion of him these past few months, watching him prep for his presidency. At first he seemed like a very heavily socialist, then kind of transmuted into a younger, blacker version of Clinton. Now he seems more center-aligned than anything, and I'm eating my own words with a dash of salt.
I doubt very seriously he'll do a worse job than Bush, and I'm pretty confident in betting that he'll do a better job than Bush and Clinton both. But the problems that people attribute him an ability to fix cannot be fixed by the government.
The government cannot fix the economy through direct intervention, it can only break it (as it's so ably demonstrated already). The government cannot force people to have confidence in a shaky market. It can, however, put the brakes on regulation, especially energy regulation. The sooner this vilification of energy production and use goes away, the sooner our economy will recover. Hopefully Obama will see the light on this one.

So let me get this straight, it's perfectly okay for you to call me a moron and say I don't deserve saving but I'm not allowed to say anything nasty to YOU?
Fuck that noise. You brought this down to my level and I own this fucking playground, asschamp, so do us a favour and uninstall IRL. I fail to see how I have derailed this thread in any way nor how I failed to be concise, as I made my point clearly in a few statements. YOU chose to put words in my mouth similar to the manner that you put dicks in yours, except I'm not a hypocritical mouthbreather who uses twisted logic in their arguments. You apparently have decided that when I say something, I'm of course meaning something else, and when I tell you that you're wrong you accuse me of changing my story. No. You are wrong. Go shove a pineapple up your urethra because I am seriously sick of your shit, and you've only posted three times in this thread.

*raising finger*
Excuse me, but I thought I was the one trying to derail this thread by injecting nothing of value.
...then again, it's nothing really new for me, is it.

The only one trying, perhaps.

Granted, but I'm not speaking so much about the inauguration ceremony as I am the fact that we're about to change administrations (I should have made that distinction, but I'm a bit worried that I would need to...) Surely even the most cynical can't help but feel a little bit of relief over that.
There is a big difference between excitement and relief. I am very relieved. I am not excited. This may have been the catch.
Plus, excitement is an emotion, not a rational choice one makes based on data. I agree that there is much to be excited about. I am not excited.

I'd say the same thing about Harry Reid. Sexism has no part in this.
Then don't bring her sex into it. Do you mention Reid's penis every time you insult him?
