(V): hey don't shoot the messenger, I'm just posting different viewpoints from England now and again,, I'm on record and have hopes that everything turns out good, I honestly hope Obama turns out great because that will be good for the country ,However he's certainly not above constructive criticism and hopefully readjusts as we go on ,like he did with that moron,Van Jones, he(they) picked for Green Jobs. Also, don't forget, that he,Emmaneul, Biden, Frank, Kennedy and that economic Genius Rangel were right there wheeling and dealing with the Republicans,so I don't give either side a free pass
GTCharlie: I ain't shooting ya Dude.. Just the Telegraph has become a bit of a joke over here compared to it's past.
And yes, no president is above criticism. Just at the moment so many want him to fail just because he is not a republican, which is crazy. Much of what led to the problem in the USA as it is goes back decades, and all the various politicians have just sat on their bottoms and not bothered... Just like over here with the expenses scandal.
As I've said before everyone needs to work the problem.
