    You will have to admit, he will be considered the best president ever if he manages to turn us completely socialist in 4 years. No one in history has been able to get Washington to move that fast.

    A socialist America? Is that your desire?

    A simple yes or no would be most appreciated.

    And no, I would not admit that turning the US socialist would make him the "best president ever".

    Quite the opposite.

    Somebody needs to check---------General George Washington has just rolled over in his grave!!!!!!!!!!

    And as Sir Patrick Henry said--------"Give me liberty, or give me death!!!"

    If stupid Americans knew EXACTLY what Socialism was-----------they'd run as fast AWAY from it as possible!!!!!! But they're too stupid to know!!!!!!!

    Nope... But I don't think we're headed that direction. That song is in the conservative song book, not mine...

    Another great example, look how long it took GW to decide where to put the white house then it took even longer to decide where on the property to put the house. Just another example of how slow government moves so Obama would have to be the greatest if he can make us socialist in 4 year...

    So then your definition of "greatest" is someone who does something - anything - fast? Good, bad or indifferent - just so long as something happens fast - that makes them the "greatest"?

    You seem to be slightly lacking in discernment.

    Nope... It is someone who gets things done. That was the change he campaigned on... Unlocking the Washington grid lock so stuff can get done.

    So it doesn't matter what gets done... just so long as something gets done.

    That is your definition of a "great leader"?

    I believe it took years for Hitler to finally rise to supreme power-----he was an idiot---but a smart idiot

    I believe it was in '23-----he had that meeting at some sort of beer hall in Munich-------thats when the cops came and arrested him------when he saw those cops coming into the beer hall---he knew who they were after----so he swore to his listeners that he would stay in touch----they put him in "the slammer"----and there, he inked out on paper what was going on in his mind----a worthless piece of authorship----but yet the German people fell for it, hook line and sinker

    If you read the rise to power process he took----it took him over 15 years to rise to power---practically robbing the German chancellor of his power and giving himself power----but when he finally took power---things moved rapidly and the rest is history---but history can repeat itself---just with different characters.

    Obama did not become President straight out of college.

    He spent years as an ACORN activist.

    He was in State government.

    He was in the US Senate.

    He may be President but I think that Obama is just starting his journey to supreme power.

    I believe that he has big plans for his future and for the transformation of the office of Pesident into something we won't even recognize.
