After reading all the comments here ... it is so obvious that Palin's "Real American" patriotics cant wait to see the newly elected president fall on his face and fail ... so they can say "i told you so" ....
and for all those who complain about the way Democrats met W with contempt and anger ... there was a reason for it ... actually very good reason .... you can spin it anyway you wish ,,,, but the whole universe knows W did not win in 2000 ... yes he was in-effect appointed by the US supr.CT.
even with that ... they held their anger and contempt and gave him his tax cut, over Mc Cain's objection no less. then they gave him full support and encouragement after 9/11 ... the world did the same despite W's disregard for it ... europe, middle east, asia .. everywhere they supported him ... including IRAN....
then came the lies, the deception, the disregard for every commonsense environmental and social policy and above all the total disregard for the Republican congress (2001-2006) .... and the constitution ... and to top it off the katrena disaster which was a natural result of the incompetence that he installed throught the Fed Gov. .... only after all that, the country and in particular the Dems and Indep ...turned their disgust and anger against him and his neo-con masters ......
in fact most of the Dems blame their own leaders for giving W all that support for that long .. (see tax cut only for the rich, the Iraqi war resolution ...etc) which allowed him to do such widespread damage to the country ...
but the "Real American" patriotics ... cant wait to see the new Dem president fail so they can say "i told you so" .... is that the way you put your "country first"? !!!! i dont think so ....
let's give the man a chance ... and if he proposes something that we thinkk is wrong we all should speak and let our views known to him... he said he would listen ..let's hold him to that promise.
let me just remind everyone .. Demas are the first to stand against their own leader if they think he is wrong or a failure ... (see carter) .. in fact they go, in great numbers, and support the Rep whom they think is better ... (see Raegan Dems) ... that is putting "country first" to practice not just using it as a slogan.
