...basically everything other than what he promised to be.

Even I, who did not vote for him, did not expect his presidency to become such a scam.

NOT CENTRIST = Described by many as the most radical president in history. Heck, some of his greatest praise comes from Fidel Castro.
NOT TRANSPARENT = He heads the most secretive administration in modern history. Closed door meetings and backroom deals shape policy of tremendous magnitude.
NOT BI-PARTISAN = He happily signed the Healthcare legislation without a single Republican vote. Thanks for including us!
NOT HONEST = The lies surface daily, the newest being with regard to off-shore drilling.

His biggest lie, however, is to be "centrist, transparent, honest and bi-partisan". Thanks for the change!! Next time, KEEP IT!

I will agree about the lying portion of your statement....because no one can ever prove he doesn't lie...they can only resort to calling people haters, or right wing extremists

LOL! You're funny. It has everything to do with perspective. Obviously it's a much sharper angle for you, but don't expect everyone else to think like you do.
He is a centrist, he's cloudy at best, (but not as hidden as his predecessor) has tried the bi-partisan thing until he just gave up, you can bring the horse to water but you can't make it drink you know.

Seriously, have you ever in your life actually believed the crap that comes out of any politicians mouth?

Why are these ranting threads started in the first place. they sure aren't worthy of debate nor are they educational. I dunno why I even bothered to post.....pretend I was never here.

When it comes right down to it, Obama is no different no better then any other President, will say anything to get elected, and so many voted for him on the Principles of a new Hope and Change Era, which i have yet to see. Typical Politician, except for the fact, that how he is trying to change the face of this Country, and where he will lead us, is not good. You can fool some once, but twice!

Oh, even you, huh. What a joke.

And who are these many you refer to again? Beck? Bachmann? Do they actually count?

Not at all like Cheney's energy summit or Doug Feith's fake Iraqi intelligence fabricating unit in the basement of the Pentagon. Obama has been night-and-day better on transparency than anything in living memory. Still, some processes of government are by their nature covert. You have neither a right nor any reasonable expectation for being included in any of those. Get used to it.

LOL. You excluded yourselves. There actually were a number of Republicans who if freed from party discipline would have voted for the health care bill. As Speaker Pelosi noted before the final voting commenced, the bill might not get any Republican votes, but it includes hundreds of Republican amendments, and so was bipartisan in that sense. The decision by stooge Republican leadership to keep caucus members from voting for a bill they helped create does not say anything about Democrats or the President.

Not surprisingly, this supposed lie doesn't actually exist, but there are separate threads documenting that. It is of course at least a cottage industry among right-wingers to manufacture imitation Obama-lies. They aren't actually real lies, of course, but by twisting words, taking things out of context, and substituting one definition of a word for another, cheap imitation trinkets that at first glance look a little bit like lies can be produced. You all must be so proud of the skills you've developed in this area.

And you know, even I -- who thinks right-wingers in general are a bunch of useless jokes -- am surprised by the degrees of pointless, narrow, vapid, abusive opposition to everything that some right-wing posters engage in. The dishonesty and lack of any sort or flavor of integrity or other redeeming quality go beyond limits that one might expect to observe in any decent American. It's all very disappointing, really...
