Anyone else notice how this is their third redesign in 13 or so years...but it's their second in 5 years?
Seriously, Slashdot. Leave things the way they were. I'm all for change when it's for the better, but this is now twice you've fucked us over with a redesign.
Indeed. Can't find an option to switch back to the old layout anywhere...
I voted for Obama because he was -quite sadly- the lesser "evil" of everyone running. Yes, third parties included. Once they reach the national stage of a presidential election, anyone still around is going to be a "bad" choice by virtue of what's required to get that far. With that in mind, Obama seemed to, at the very least, have the best intentions, if not necessarily the best plan. He also seemed the most likely to move towards the center, should the balance of power ever split (as it did with the mid-terms...and, as evidenced by the number of Democrats pissed off with him since the mid-terms, he is doing just that.) All that being said, had I been the same person in 2008 that I am today, I likely would have just stayed home.
That's not a troll, nor is it hair splitting: that's plain honesty.
Just once, I'd love to see a President's State of the Union speech address points COMPLETELY different than what's written in the opposing party's response. That would be some quality entertainment!
Liberal or conservative, republican or democrat, I always found it funny that the State of the Union speech AND the "response" speeches by the opposing party are written simultaneously.
Missed that part? Republicans (and, strangely, Bachman) have been talking about their response for days. Not day: days.

Pojut,
Your problem--that you don't understand--is that you are gullible
AVT,
Your problem--that you don't understand--is that you must have missed the multiple times I explicitly said I didn't personally believe him. Like this time:
I said I thought he was genuine...as in, I believed that HE believed himself. That's not the same thing as saying that I thought he would actually accomplished(sic) everything he claimed he would.
And this time:
I'm telling you that I was aware that HE thought he could do all those things...that's very different than BELIEVING he could.
My opinion of how someone thinks of themselves and my personal opinion of that person can be entirely different...and, in this case, they were/are. If you consider that splitting hairs, I don't know what to tell you.
If that ends up being the case, I have a feeling it's going to be a really quiet discussion

How the fuck can someone respond to a speech they haven't heard yet??
