I guess we should wait a bit longer to use the 'D' word. But if Obama the Wise...Obama the Merciful...Obama the All-Knowing, doesn't have it fixed by year-end then the kid gloves come off. Obviously I'm joking since I don't think any politician or government official can do anything but make it worse.
Stay tuned.

I can't believe that Obama the (fill it in) won't be able to fix this. I mean that makes him sound like, like any other politician. Only this one has been caught with his britches down, and refuses to admit it.
Can't belive you went and mentioned Disney's losses twice - that hurts. :) Then again, maybe it will be cheaper the next time I go (2010).
Oh Roger of The Great Name - sorry to pick on Disney twice that was actually a mistake not a jab at them an extra time.
I would imagine by 2010 part of that year's stimulas package will include free tickets to Disney World/Land for every man, woman, child and dog (not cats) in this country....so don't worry about it
At least we can all take comfort in the fact that #12 is now looking like a baby and not like a dinosaur any longer.
