I'll post the substance again...
In less than one month after taking office, the direction has dramatically changed to Conservative ideology.
Everyone is screaming Obama is moving to the center. That would be more conservative... Change that has been documented.
Not every one is screaming that Obama is moving to the center. It seems that only the republicans are doing that. He has always been to the center but republicans can't see that because they are to busy trying to get him out.

She knows this truth.

America is a great country which best creates jobs when the government gets out of the way..

She also knows that you cannot spend your way to prosperity. as witnessed by the $800 BILLION failed "stimulus".

The argument cannot be broken.

I don't care what politicians look like. She could look like Arnold Schwartzenegger for all I care, it's about what she says.

Why are more Republicans not distancing themselves from her, I don't get it. She really is an embarrassment. I honestly don't much care what you think of Obama, but is Palin, or Bachmann for that matter, really the type of leadership people are looking for? Every time I hear Palin speak she says the same things over and over again. She reminds me of a pouty teenage girl who has taken one junior college course in politics, and now thinks she knows it all, but can't express herself, and doesn't know any actual facts.

Why are conservative looking to Palin and Bachmann for leadership? There are many impressive up and coming conservatives in the ranks, and certainly less embarassing than these two clowns.

Change I can believe in has already happened, right before my eyes.

Nov 2nd was just the start.(I guess that wasn't a direction change to you?) We are moving into a Constitutional Conservative resurrection, not only Federal, but look what happened at the State and local levels.

That is the direction I chose in Nov, so I must be in the majority, now. Sorry you wound up in the minority. I still care about you, though.

He filled his cabinet with people that admired Mao and Stalin admitting by word they were an American Communist. Ya, he was center from the get go.
How many Conservatives sit on his cabinet?

Maybe not but Obama should definitely be there.

Rhetoric changes nothing? Well, we have seen the proof of that the last 2 years, haven't we?

What do you find so embarrassing and wrong about this? Point out where you think she's wrong.

Obama

Obama’s Message to America: The Era of Big Government is Back, Now Help Me Pay For It

Quote:
In the past, he promised us he’d make job creation his number one priority, while also cutting the deficit, eliminating waste, easing foreclosures in the housing markets, and making “tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development.”
The results?

Quote:
A record $1.5 trillion deficit, an 84% increase in federal spending, a trillion dollar stimulus that stimulated nothing but more Tea Party activism, 9+% unemployment (or 17% percent if you include those who have stopped looking for work or settled for part time jobs), 2.9 million home foreclosures last year, and a moratorium on offshore drilling that has led to more unemployment and $100 dollar a barrel oil.
Very good editorial by Palin - should be mandatory reading.

From what I see the conservatives got taken over by the crazies.
