Time constraints?

Maybe because there aren't any "failures" to report, other than his failure to fall prey to unwarranted and unsubstantiated attacks, accusations, lies and deceit, as well as, fall in the traps that are consistently set for him by wicked people...food for thought!

Wink .



It was over 110+ degrees in Phoenix this week. Obama’s fault he should have known the weather was going to do this. He could have sent bags of ice.

My mail came late on Friday and sat outside in the mailbox, it’s Obama’s fault that the letter carrier was late.

I got stuck in traffic while driving to the store and it’s Obama’s fault for allowing too many cars to be built and on the roads.

The cell phone cut off while on an important call last week, and I know it’s Obama’s fault because he should have made the corporations put in more cell sites.

I get too much junk political mail sent to me and I know it’s Obama’s fault because the republicans are trying too hard to get their people into too many different elected offices.

So why are so many people and corporations pushing the problems onto Obama, don’t they have any responsibilities for what they are in control of?

My guess would be that Obama has set a new standard in the art of presidential failure. His performance as president is so poor, the media can only find time to over-report the few positive aspects of his presidency.

Angry Oh, so it's our problem?

Why the hell do we even have a president if we don't expect him to get off his ass & do something? Ya know, it sounds a lot like the speach that Obama made that day 'bout the oil spill:

BP should've ... BP is going to ... I'll contact BP ... etc

When is he gonna take responsability for anything. The only reason a lot of people voted for 'im is because they wanted to see what it was like to have an African American president. Now everyone's finally coming to the realization that you can't play around out of curiosity when it come's to the leader of our country. We all knew he had no experience.

Even headstrong democrats are starting to see the light. Obama has no real experience, & he's messing us up big time: spending all our money, standing back & watching as a whole section of our country is hit by a disaster (hmm, reminds me of Bush & Katrina.) When is everyone gonna realize that all of us made a mistake. I hate McCain, but I'll bet he could've gotten us out of Bush's **** a lot faster.

I agree, Obama's trying. He's a pretty good president. But the point is that right now America's in big trouble, & we don't need a pretty good president, we need a great one to pull us out.

If you believe this way I feel sorry for you, Bush may have been bad spending 1.4 million a day BUT OBAMA is spending a alarming 4.7 million a day.
Leaving the next president to punish the citizen to even higher taxes with the next joker in the wings to save the day, if you still believe the way you do, well....

One has to look at any reporter and where he gets hsi/her infomation. Its thru government sources and thsoe sources always have a agrenda. That means that a report who wants information become s a agent of that source. It goes also into attorney's;police cources ;and dow the line.They supporsedly check the infomation but in thsese days IMO they rarely take the tie because of competiiton. They say source(s) say this most times.That is why reliable sources reprots need to be taken with a grain of salt until proven more now days.

So your defending Obama's spending of 4.7 Million dollars a day right?

Or are facts also a fantasy for you?
