"The republicans
drove our country into a ditch. So we got down there, we put on
our boots and we pushed and we shove and were sweating. And
there's the republicans watching us, sipping on a slurpee.
They were pointing at us saying: 'how come your not pushing
harder? How come your not pushing faster?' When we finally
got the car on level ground and heading in the right direction,
they see the scratches and shout to everyone: 'Look what
these guys did to your car!' And then they've got the
nerve to ask for the keys back. I dont want to give them the
keys back. They dont know how to drive."
-Barack Obama
I
don't care how much you hate Obama, he has a way with his
metaphors.

How do you figure? when he said this he meant Bush and the republicans that SUPPORTED him as in the congress people and such that didnt stop Bush from doing what he was doing. Obama won the Noble Peace Prize, he is more for the people than the other people running for office was. Peopel take everything people say so literally. :]

The way he worded this makes it sound like it is generalizing that all republicans are running this country into the ground. Bush made mistakes, yes. But the republican party is not to blame, they supported Bush because they thought he would do what's right. The party itself wasn't running the country into the ground. I disagree that he is more for the people, but we can agree to disagree :)

At first I was wondering why there were so few comments, then I realized that you just delete the comments from people who disagree with you. I wonder if you'll delete this comment or keep it to make me look stupid. Good job!

I think he would be a good author as well but I thin kwhen Obama said this he was reffering to Bush going starting wars and stuff, He didnt refer it to ALL republicans, just the few the ones who actually had a part in putting our economy in the toilet ehehe :]
