Now that Obama has won, we could be in Iraq for a hundred years.

Wooooaaaahhhhhhhhh there big fella. Wasn’t that supposed to be the other guy.

That status-of-forces agreement remains subject to change, by mutual agreement, and Army planners acknowledge privately that they are examining projections that could see the number of Americans hovering between 30,000 and 50,000–and some say as high as 70,000–for a substantial time even beyond 2011.

OK … let’s tally this up. No increase in the capital gains and dividends tax, no increasing the tax rates on people making more than $250,000 a year, no windfall profits tax on oil companies, Robert Gates Secretary of Defense, in Iraq for … oh never mind. I’m beginning to think I voted for the wrong guy. Who knew?

    Perplexing. The O-Ster has adopted many Bush principals since he has been formally annointed the chosen one.

    The “change” mantra has evolved into a blend of Bill “Devil with the Blue Dress On” Clinton and George (MSM Walk All Over) Bush policies.

    Free Market enterprise is under attack with “Treasury” spending. The more typical debt raising tendancies of Pork Barrell Spending, (PBS) usually served like ‘hor derves, sloshed down with adult beverage for aligning memebers of congress to get in line like sheeple to keep the constinuancies at home in voting alignmnet.

    Ah yes, more of the same, more of the good ‘ol boys club. Where is my Sarah?

    We need to adopt Articles of Change.

    You can be sure that there will be now “tax cut for everyone making under $250K (or $200K, or 150K or 100K etc., etc.)

    You never do get what the car salesman “promised” do you?
