You think government is the solution? the savior?

They got you right where they want you.

No wonder your expectations are never met.

Washington is not the solution, it is the entire problem.


The 8 scariest words you will ever hear:
I'm from the government, here to help you.

Obama made it hard on himself. He came out of the gates in 2009 with a mandate, and he completely misread that mandate. Now a large portion (if not majority) of the population are very skeptical of his motives.

That's why he's under the microscope. People just don't trust the guy.

He chose that path, and now he has to live with it.

Obama and the dems have been reaching the olive branch out since day one, but the right keep slapping it away. People like McConnell even said recently to the extent "We'll happily work with Obama, if he does what we want" Rhetoric like this keeps leading the charge for disaster. If we don't work together, we'll fall apart separated.


A HUGE load of liberal with ultra-left wing, no compromise attitudes have always been on CD.

Most of them are gone, or don't post that often or in the same way they did...b/c their boy is lacking more than a birth certificate. The ones hanging on? They can't have a "conversation" without bringing up GWB.

I just don't have the time to be POTUS - the busy horse show season starts soon and I am in extra training sessions. Sorry.

Maybe you could do it? On second thought......

You are correct!

But the democrat party is good at lying and deflecting - standard OP for them. And they will never take responsibility for their actions.

I say again, I am truly and deeply embarrassed for the people that still actually support this president.

That is one of the most truthful and correct statements I have read on this forum.
