Beck's politeness, Smerconish's endorsement

[wayne@vacationdreams.org]

Like it or not, Obama is our president for the the 4
years... makes sense that Beck would want a relenting on the
attacks as we see exactly what the American people have
gotten themselves into... I didn't support him, but this guy
could prove to be a great president, and definitely will be
great fodder for the talk radio formats...
