So, that 30 minute commercial where He parted the sea in HALF so we can all walk to the Promise Land is all a HOAX????
What about those who voted early for him thinking that he can get all these done in a flash????!!!!!
Sounds like my remodeling contractor who gives me a cheap estimate and then once he starts the job, he keeps adding costs to the original estimate. And I can't refuse because he is already in the middle of the JOB!!!
Sounds like a SCAM to me!!!!!!
What I thought was funny was the whole "Get out early and vote" deal. "Get out early and vote because your car might break down, you might run out of gas, there may be a snow storm" and a myriad of other "obstacles" that could well happen to you on a normal work day. Talk about scare tactics and brainwashing. Talk about insulting the intelligence of your audience. I think it was more like "Vote early and make your vote count now because I'm going to pull a few switcheroos on ya, before I even get to the Oval Office." Rainbow farting puppies, indeed!
Bill Clinton did the same thing. Campaigned on "change". Promised voters the moon and the stars. Lower taxes. Cheap and bountiful healthcare. A balanced budget. And so on. And unfortunately for several reasons, one being that his campaign promises were unrealistic, but the second reason being that the President just doesn't have the power to change it all on his own, none of Clinton's promises materialized. In fact some, like taxes, were a total turnaround.
So I see the same thing happening with Obama. Except.......Obama has ZERO charisma where Bill, as oily and slippery as he was morally, had tons. So people (myself included--I voted for him twice) continued to support him. I think Obama will not be as lucky. His followers will make fickle Boston sports fans look loyal by comparison.

Obama Lays Plans to Kill Expectations After Election Victory
Obama is already starting to back off his promises. He knows he's promised too much, more than he can deliver:
Obama Lays Plans to Kill Expectations After Election Victory Confident in an Election Day win, the campaign looks to lower supporters' expectations on concerns their hopes of 'change' are unrealistic, a senior aide says, and that Obama himself realizes that the expectations are unrealistic.
By Tim Reid, The Times of London
Barack Obama's senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week's election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harboring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.
The sudden financial crisis and the prospect of a deep and painful recession have increased the urgency inside the Obama team to bring people down to earth, after a campaign in which his soaring rhetoric and promises of "hope" and "change" are now confronted with the reality of a stricken economy.

Completely expected by me and anyone who happens to know politics. He never had any plans on keeping his idiot promises to the idiot people who fell for his idiotic promises to give and give.
