Well it's pretty much self inflicted

He had a chance, But with his Character and his Policies
he elected for Bigger Government with a twist of socialism

Obama's promise to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.

Obama's promise to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.

Obama's promise to end earmarks.

He broke Obama's promise to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.

Obama's promise to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.

Obama's promise to end no-compete contracts with the government.

Obama's promise to disclose the names of all attendees at closed White House meetings.

Obama's promise for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.

He broke Obama's promise to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter of last year.

Oh, and did I mention the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, There would be no ear marks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying (Nebraska, Louisiana).

Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something... - anything

He just plain Sold Out America

Unfortunately, we are now beginning to understand what the second one means and what the first says about us.

Very interesting article and many of the comments are equally interesting!

Scroll down to read the comment by "Harry Flashman" who points out that obama's first official act (on his very first day as President) was to sign an executive order to seal all documents relevant to his past!

Consequently no paper trail on this guy is available to us, the citizens. Mystery man indeed.

And yet so many posters here continuously insist on using the belittling term "birther" in an attempt to silence those of us who merely want the truth about this man; this man who really appears to be nothing more than a freshly hatched, teleprompter reading puppet.

I'll refrain from saying "I told you so."
I told them so!

Thanks for making me laugh very hard. Obama is a pain in our Butts. He is quite a pain when speaking about this failing economy.

Sorry but i don't feel sorry for those that fell for his empty dreams or promises. So much was made about Obama by the Media, hollywood celebrities, and the News outlets, it was almost too good to be true, you know what they say that old saying, if it sounds to good to be true! well you know.

its about principles not personality. we are broke and going too deep into debt both as a country and as individuals. credit has been too loose for too long. the federal bank needs to stop creating magic money.

I thought his problem is that he's trying to destroy the rich?

Hey, look over there, Palin!

The left is eternally stuck on stupid and, this time, a few independents joined them to vote for an automaton with no real history or background. If they had bothered to read his *book* and do the least little digging we wouldn't be in the mess this POS has put us into.
