I hope so as well. I'm really looking forward to learning more about the job creation aspect of his economic plan.

Also, that picture is just priceless.

Jude C on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:11pm

Time to wait and see what happens.

I'm sorry, but that picture of Obama made me burst out laughing. He looks like he's watching something highly unpleasant being done.

starangel82 on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:12pm

It would have to be really unpleasant to need those protective glasses!

Jude C on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:13pm

Don't scowl like that Messiah...I mean, Obama! You'll ruin your precious face!!!!

bluesarahlou on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:13pm

Hey, I wear those exact glasses at work Sad

bluesarahlou on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:14pm

I'm thinking the man just doesn't take a bad picture.

stephley on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:15pm

I didn't mean the glasses were unpleasant! Anything you wear is automatically lovely Smiling

Safety first and all that.

How would you like to own the factory that put the President-elect's eye out cause he didn't wear safety glasses?

starangel82 on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:16pm

This pic is priceless. I wonder what he's looking at.

I like the streamlined safety goggles. They're a far cry from the bulky ones that fog up every two seconds with that black elastic band that fits around the back of your head.

em1282 on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:30pm

he looks like a better looking bill cosby and a less annoying one at that

nyaradzom2001 on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:35pm

em i love the visors they use when welding and the gloves and the muscles lol, i used to love hanging around my dad's workshop watching the apprentices ......

nyaradzom2001 on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:37pm

I am reminded instantly of the Movie "Dave" where He goes to the factory and gets on that big machine thing......

CaterpillarGirl on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:49pm

"They're a far cry from the bulky ones that fog up every two seconds with that black elastic band that fits around the back of your head."

I HATED those goggles, LOL. They used to give me the WORST headache, and definitely fogged up when doing anything around the hood in chemistry.

As for the picture, it's priceless!!!!

tiabia on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:50pm

lol I'm saving that picture to use to show my distaste with things

Myst on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:53pm

Haha, nya, that's a nice image. Eye-wink

Those gave me the worst headaches too, tia! It didn't help that I was aso just wearing glasses (not contacts) at the time, which only made things worse when the sides of those lame goggles pressed into your temples and your glass frames. Ugh.

em1282 on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:58pm

He really needs to stop making that face or those frown lines are gonna need a gallon of Restylane.

He needs to go full on Nicole Kidman - expressionless.

wackdoodle on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:06pm

"This pic is priceless. I wonder what he's looking at."

I think we should do a caption contest. Here's my entry:

"I don't remember having to do a rectal exam as part of my security clearance."

UnDave35 on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:14pm

No, not something unpleasant being done! That is the, well, would you look at that, face. Well, that's mine anyway.

Great Sommelier on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:27pm

lol, I used to fog up my goggles so much more often than my peers. I could never figure out why.

Great Sommelier on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:28pm

"I don't remember having to do a rectal exam as part of my security clearance."

Great Sommelier on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:29pm

or better:
"WOW! He got his arm that far up?!?!"

UnDave35 on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:32pm

SO funnies, oh my gawd.

indielove on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:33pm

The anal theme of this unofficial caption contest is a little disturbing.

Jude C on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:37pm

and yet not all too surprising

tiabia on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:38pm

and insanely overdone.

indielove on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:39pm

"I can smell my daughters smugness from here"

CaterpillarGirl on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:40pm

"I can smell my daughters smugness from here"

CaterpillarGirl on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:40pm

Is Dave persona non grata today or what? I didn't get the memo! Oh well, I'll jump in.

Dave, your mother is an hamster and your father smells of elderberries!

I fart in your general direction!

Great Sommelier on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 2:43pm

OMG BIAS! Why did you have to use that unflattering photo? It's obviously so biasedly biased.

True Song on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:09pm

In the spirit of unity and love TS rears her head.

Great Sommelier on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:10pm

well, something to do with a rear and a head anyway. Eye-wink

Great Sommelier on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:11pm

I'm not following the rear head joke but whatevs.

The fundamental difference between me and some others is that I do not prioritize the unity and love of strangers on the internet.

True Song on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:13pm

lol, trust us, we are aware.

Great Sommelier on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:19pm

Fair enough : )

True Song on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:20pm

"The fundamental difference between me and some others is that I do not prioritize the unity and love of strangers on the internet."

I 100% support this statement.

I am in love with this statement.

I want to marry it.

Love

indielove on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:29pm

Now, indie, that doesn't mean I want to antagonize people on purpose. Just that if I say my opinion or, you know, jokingly call someone a crackpot, it doesn't bother me if they get upset.

True Song on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:33pm

There's a mighty fine line between not wanting to antagonize and just calling someone a name(whether jokingly or not) and not caring if it upsets them. There's a certain degree of hostility involved.

Either way, I hardly give a crap. That was the point of my comment. I, like the rest of you, like to say my piece but I actually don't care if I'm seen in a favorable or unfavorable light around here.

indielove on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:52pm

I just meant that I don't say things like...

"You're a big stupid moron" or "Go to bed" or "Just go away"

That's all. Just wanted to clarify.

True Song on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:56pm

I see your point.

Ha, I got told earlier to 'go away' in another blog thread around here. It was slightly amusing...hugely lame, on the other hand.

indielove on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 3:59pm

Saying something like that to someone just seems completely pointless. Like that person is going to be like, "Okay, I'll go..."

True Song on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 4:01pm

Here I go...walking away, head down, sorrowful look..."No one likes me, no one at all..."...*kicks a pebble*...

Anyway, I was hoping for something a little more clever, sarcastic even. The only response I could muster up was 'is this a joke?'

indielove on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 4:10pm

My entry in the caption contest: "No, Michelle, not that red and black dress again..."

janneth on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 4:50pm

my caption " ewww... even wind energy is dirty, I thought it was green and clean"

StolzeMama on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 5:27pm

I wish I could be all cool and aloof about people on the internet, but I spend my time making up alternate identities so I can ask people what they think of me and get into private groups.

organicsugr on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 6:17pm

That's funny since I'm sure there are a few conspiracy theorists convinced you and Mich are one and the same. I don't know how to prove otherwise without inviting y'all into my home to view my cache. Maybe I'll just start taking credit.

I am true song, harmony, haus, gs, AND org. And citizen.

True Song on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 7:26pm

"I wish I could be all cool and aloof about people on the internet, but I spend my time making up alternate identities so I can ask people what they think of me and get into private groups."

That's odd, Org. I thought you spent your time coming up with witty one-liners.

As long as we're being confessional, I'm actually Kim Jong-Il. I signed on to Sugar to disseminate my Communist beliefs to the vulnerable Western masses. Also, I'm not feeling so good lately, so I have a lot of time to myself. Oh, and from now on I would like to be addressed as "Dear Leader." Thanks.

Jude C on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 7:32pm

"I wish I could be all cool and aloof about people on the internet, but I spend my time making up alternate identities so I can ask people what they think of me and get into private groups."

All right you caught me. I am Hain. I'm am sorry to have deceived you all. Embarassed

kastarte2 on Fri, 01/16/2009 - 9:28pm

TrueSong, those suspicious people are correct, we're the same person. But here's the trick, am I the full-bearded young man on Org's profile, or am I the petite young lady in my lookbook? Riddles of the universe, my friends. And, of course, Dear Leader.

Michelann on Sat, 01/17/2009 - 9:33am

That is a god-awful picture. His mouth looks part sharpei.

LibertySugar Says:

 

Bringing back memories of life on the campaign trail, Barack Obama emerged from his stints in Chicago, Hawaii, and Washington, to meet with factory workers in Ohio. Obama toured a wind turbine factory, and also held a townhall meeting with the workers to discuss the economy and job creation.

By heading to the Ohio factory, Obama was looking for more than a photo op. He wants Congress too pass a two-year economic stimulus plan to address the crisis. He told the workers: “We’re looking to create good jobs that pay well and won’t be shipped overseas.” As for how, yesterday the House of Representatives unveiled its $825 billion economic recovery plan, which would include $550 billion in spending and $275 for business and family tax cuts.

Considering the high unemployment rate, and news today that Circuit City's closure will cost 30,000 more jobs, let's hope Obama has some good ideas.
