    "Hilarious self-pwn3rship."

    The lesson here is:

    Stupid people shouldn't throw stones.

    Actually the lesson is, if you don't have any experience (Obama), you had better surround yourself with people who do. Appointing the geek squad from academia is a recipe for failure. I guess academia is all Obama knows. We'll see how successful he is with his energy reforms....the oil industry has already gotten him to toss out his r****ded windfall profits tax.

    Ah, and therein lies the "can't win" trap in texxie's mind.

    Appoint someone for change? Brash inexperience.

    Appoint someone experienced? Same old politics.

    IF AMERICA LOSES, BIGTEXXX WINS.

    You are such a waste of space. Everything that you post here is just steeped with negativity. Everybody knows you are so biased that whatever the president-elect does, you are just going to blast him. There is not one single decision he can make that you won't criticize.

    But really, insulting someone because he's smart? Calling him a geek? What is this, the third grade? Go back into the hole you crawled out of, troll.

    If you don't want to comment on the topic at hand, it's best to keep quiet

    So character attacks like "pencil-necked dweeb" are the topic at hand?

    You'd do best not to throw stones in your glass mansion, BT. Otherwise, playing by your rules, you should STFU and GTFO. No TIA neeeded. :cool:

    When chickentexx joins the discussion ("pencil-necked dweeb", "master"), this is what happens.

    Well, I mean, what with the squad that led America to where she is now, I don't think there's much to complain about in hypothetical versions of HALF of President-Elect Obama's Cabinet. President-Elect. As in he isn't even the friggin president yet and you're picking and complaining about his cabinet choices. jeez

    Lest we forget...

    Donald Rumsfeld (Resigned in disgrace amid controversy over his position to support torture and six years of generally ineffective leadership leading to disastrous results (ex: the prolonged War in Iraq))
    Alberto Gonzales (Resigned in disgrace amid accusations of perjury)
    Paul Wolfowitz (Appointed director of the World Bank, resigned in disgrace amid accusations of corruption)
    Paul O'Neill (Resigned amid pressure from the administration, because he countered their absurd notion that tax cuts were the solution for everything. Became an avid critic of the Bush administration)

    I may be beating a dead horse. But you're beating a horse that hasn't even been born yet.
