Look, Obama can lead you to the river, but you have to cross that river yourself. If you're ready to enter into the promised land, do it. Leave your fears behind. Otherwise, live as an epic fail. The choice is yours.

This is the thing that I find both confusing and amusing. Do liberals really think that the last three years has been a success? Why then are there millions of unemployed, with real unemployment nearing 21%, wages declining, foreclosures still up, and manufacturing leaving?

If this is liberal success, I think it explains alot. Most of us would call that a dismal failure. Liberals would call that a dismal failure as well, if a republican was in the White House. Remember that liberals called Bush an "economic failure" despire having unemployment at half of that currently and half the federal debt. Keeping with liberal logic, that would make Obama four fold the failure of Bush, given that he has performed these "triumphs" in half the time.


PS- The rest of the nation is not as easily conned as liberals. Barry will be gone by 2013.

I dont fear the guy, I just don't feel he has been an effective leader. He tries to legislate from a distance and doesn't seem to want to jump in and get his hands dirty. I had hopes for him after Bush's poor tenure at the country's helm, but began to have serious doubts about the way he let Reid and Pelossi take the lead on Healthcare reform, and just seemed to chime in his support from the sidelines. As such, I think we got a poor piece of legislation that didn't fix the root cause of the healthcare problems in this country, and was written more by and for lobbyist than anything else. Unfortunately, that set the tone for the rest of his presidency.

Hawk, why do you hate Obama? It's fear, right? Don't be scared. Embrace success.

Was that sarcasm?


suc·cess/səkˈses/


Noun:
  • The accomplishment of an aim or purpose.
  • The attainment of popularity or profit
I'd say most people are angry rather than fearful. The left is mad because he's either too extreme, or not extreme enough. They are a conflicted group ideologically speaking. The right is mad because he's done exactly what tehy knew he'd do, and more.


Both seem to care about a constitutional government, yet the constitution is being dismantled as quickly and covertly as they can manage it (BY BOTH SIDES)

I'd prefer to embrace my wife, and vote for Paul.

Republicans are Satan's way of ensuring that his agenda gets accomplished. I mean just look at what Republicans stand for: blocking healthcare for the uninsured, denying rights to minorities, denying food to poor kids in school, empowering the rich and powerful, funding the building of bombs and other weapons of mass destruction instead of funding programs to help average Americans... and a host of other evils.

You should change your OP to read why do "people in touch with reality" vs. 'republicans" fail to sing the praises of Obama.

What a croc. There is nothing objective or hard hitting. Its like a pre-pubescent kid suddenly discovered what a thesaurus is, and being none the wiser, started assembling all of the 'neat' words. Go pop a pimple.

Rude, EF. A_Lexus routinely exposes Republicans as the fools they are.
