Thanks for breakin' it down. So, basically a diversionary tactic of attacking Mr. Barnes, instead of addressing the question of why an administration that campaigned on the concept of "change" is just following along with the status quo? :) I'm just fuckin' with ya. Kinda. I liked what you said in another thread about not letting perfection stand in the way of good (or something to that effect). In the short period of time that he's been in office, Obama has done some stuff that I like. I'm not personally going to try and throw him to the wolves for any single perceived infraction. I'll reserve judgment until a bigger picture can be painted. -- I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:287548 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
