I can hear the IT guys in the background, snickering and laughing, "He want's us to put up an unmoderated open forum".

I used the word 'they' not singeling out the chosen one. Although the website is 'in his name' I'm also sure that his only input for this forum was "Hey that would be kewl".

Seems that I remember alot of folks point out Bush's folly and 'being out of touch'. So Im just returning the favor.

The purpose was to point out what should have been obvious to anyone whom has ever read any forum what was going to happen.

No I dont have an Obama obsession, no tingly feelings running up my legs here. I am concearned about the path and agenda of the current administration. Not so much for myself but for future generations whom will have to attone for our current actions.

Im just pointing out the humor in whoever set this thing up getting 'caught off guard by trolls'.

By the way, I was saying the same kind of thing about some of GB's policys. Perscription drug plan comes to mind.

Certainly no more creepy than your obsession with Bush for the past few years Dude. Can you really blame conservatives for utilizing the same tactics the Dems have used during the past administration?

No more than I blame the liberals for utilizing the same tactics for defending their pet leader of the week. What goes around comes around.

The hand holder cometh....

Comparing Bush's 8 years and my opinions of him after 6 to Obama's 4 months and Steamwake's unfounded daily tripe at this point of the game is nothing short of idiotic. And I assure you I didn't post 10 "absurd posts that weren't even really about Bush but I tried to spin it that way" a day about Bush when he was President. Dude.

Which, I'll add, you yourself are guilty of in this very thread.
