I will have you and everyone else know that I take great pains to keep my personal beliefs separate from my teaching, no matter what. I wouldn't even tell my kids who I voted for until today.

Originally Posted By dshyates "I used to really enjoy these boards, but not anymore. I quit." You said the same thing when we told you there was no "magic" at the Magic Kingdom.. I wasn't really trying to say anything about your class decouru. Moreso that recently I have seen a very aggressive, angry, and bitter tone coming from you. Especially since the election. Exactly why is it that you HATE Obama so much. Did he run over your dog?
Originally Posted By NikkiLOVESMickey I don't hate the guy. I'm actually quite impressed with him after I saw his press conference today. What I do hate is the way some people seem to worship him, like he's the magic bean that's going to take care of everything. People say the campaign is the world's longest job interview; I've never seen an employer get so fired up over a new employee the way some people get fired up over Obama. I just feel too many people have lost their perspective. And I'm tired of getting attacked personally (I've been called a loco and a "scary" person, among others) and professionally.
Originally Posted By barboy Nikki, take it easy......why not stick around as your voice is just as important as anyone's here. Everyone---yes all of us--- brings something unique and invaluable to the discussion. I hope you stay as I do enjoy your writings. I guess my presence also has helped you want to leave so I too will take it more easy. Why not stay.

And it won't hurt the lil' 'uns to hear ALL the sides of a story.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA For the record, I was kidding about the 'actual' recordings of Washington and Lincoln. As for the apparent 'worship' of President-elect Obama. For me, I like being able to have some respect for my President. It's not an unhealthy worship like a teenage girl and some rock star. It's a sense of having respect for the new guy, when the other guy has been a huge disappointment for the past 8 years.

Originally Posted By MPierce Come on folks let's get off the election, and attacks on any member of either party. This is a time of extremely high emotions in our Country.

I think we all have the same common goal of wanting the best for our families, our friends, and ourselves. I for one give all of my support to President Elect Obama. He will soon be my President, and I only want the best for my Country. He waged a brillant campaign, and won. He will have a very tough road ahead of him, and I think he needs All Americans emotional support. I hate to see this forum come apart with name callings, and personal attacks. Please everybody drop the personal attacks, and take a deep breath before you post something that starts conflict all over again. We all need to respect the opinions, and feelings of all posters here. That doesn't mean we have to agree on everything or even anything. Just please be respectful of the other person. Doobie does an excellent job of admining these forums. He walks that fine line of not being a dictator, and censoring a lot of things while attempting to keep things partially under control. I think we all, including myself, should give him a hand by being respectful of other peoples feelings. I do understand how controversial topics will arise from time to time in a regular post. Just please try not to make it personal attacks. Now lets all please get back to good honest discussions on WDW, PLEASE.
