Criticism of obama and his policies is viewed as hate to you. The man is a complete disaster with his failed stimulus, his massive taxes on cap&trade, not mention this crap sandwich of his UHC.

Thanks. You bet they do. The way obama is running this economy into the ground should set up perfectly for 2010. I should be rooting for his failed policies, shouldn't I?

This was around his first week in office, so I doubt any of his bills were passed before then. It was kinda hard to miss all the interviews he did with the media and the answers he gave when asked about the economy.
No, but everything he said his stimulus would do, it had not done. Even Biden said they were guessing, and they guessed wrong, but oh well, it was only $787 billion, maybe we need to spend $800 billion more.

Those were 'Just Words, Just Speeches," you surely do not think he meant any of that do you??

If you don't like his policies then you either didn't vote for him or should do more research prior to casting your vote. This is Democracy guys. Maybe you would prefer to live in a dictatorship where there is no threat to the conservative status quo?
And yet, do you still believe whatever he says? If what he said he was going to do, not only did not happen, but he did a complete 180 turn around on it, would it bother you in the least? NSA wiretaps, rendition, indefinite detention for terror suspects, Predator drone attacks, his desire to build a new GITMO, raising taxes, daylight before signing, no lobbyists in his administration, yadda, ydda, yadda... do any of his false promises and deceptions matter to you?

Is this figure included in the 3-4 million he promised?

No, that 600K was his first 100 days, the next few million are his next 100 days.

Its got nothing to do with hate, it has to do with a guy that speaks from either ignorance and naivete, or he being untruthful and deceptive.

Why did 0bama adopt the NSA "Domestic Spying Program" for his own, and even accelerate its use after saying so clearly while speaking at Dartmouth College in his last public appearance before the polls closed in New Hampshire.

0bama: “"My job this morning is to be so persuasive . . . that a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Barack.

For one thing, under an Obama presidency, Americans will be able to leave behind the era of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and “wiretaps without warrants.”


Was 0bama being naive, ignorant, or was he deceptive or lying?


In January of this year, when 0bama said: "We are going to ban all earmarks, the process by which individual members insert pet projects without review."

Was 0bama being naive, ignorant, or was he deceptive or lying?

there are many many more examples, I could go on and on, and the guy has only been in office for six months.

Yes, and he will claim that it happened. 600,000 jobs were 'saved' (i.e. people who would've otherwise lost their jobs, didn't), an absolutely unprovable claim, which is the beauty of it politically.

The media will pick up the mantra, 'Obama saved X jobs in his first year in office just as he promised' and he won't be held accountable.

Just watch.

He was being naive, ignorant, and deceptive. He is a man boy and knows nothing of the real world.
