But it sounds like you are not happy with the current POTUS. Do tell.
The thing about all this is what I heard Larry Elder say today. Talking about the white people who voted for Obama doing it to get the first black in office and other racial reasons like that. I am sure that some people don't know that Elder is a black man although most of the lefties know what Kos and MM say about him, no matter.

....GITMO would still be open and operating on all cylinders?

....the detainees at GITMO STILL would not have had their trial?

....Obama would decide it is best to extend the Bush tax cuts?

....Obama's policies would prove so horrible that the democrats would lose the midterm elections in historic fashion?

....Obama would refuse to admit any mistakes and would do nothing but be divisive, negative and insult & blame everyone else?

....America would lose its AAA credit rating on Obama's watch?

....we would be heading into a double dip recession? Some say depression.

....we would have record record setting deficits?

....the debt would have been expanded the fastest of any POTUS in history?

....the democrat Senate STILL would not have passed a budget?

....Obama's budget would not even get ONE democrat vote and would go down 97-0?


In short, is this the Change you were Hoping for? Is this exactly what you envisioned? I know this isn't what I thought it would be like when I voted for him. Now where is that mulligan I need so badly?
Yes, because I realize you can't fix decades of bad decisions in 3 years.

Interesting that you think this is an Obama bashing thread. In my OP, I did not bash Obama. I simply listed the progress to date. What about the fact based list makes you think it is bashing Obama? Is it that you think his progress to date has been awful and you prefer it not be discussed?

But he was black and a Chicago rabble rouser that never held a private industry job.

Who could have guessed?

The black part I coud care a less about. I got black friends that could do a better job. But since black was brought up, it will be a better than a decade for another black to win, and exactly due to this 1/2 black.

Kerry would have been as bad. McCain too. Basicly the best of the best is total schlock.

Now THAT scares me.

I didn't think. I fell hook, line and sinker for the golden tongue. I guess I heard what I wanted to. I won't make that mistake again. I will be digging deep into the records of every possible candidate.
