The best part of these is that they were talking about him getting up there before he had served a full month. Kind of like his Nobel prize.

Gitmo is still around. He hasn't closed that yet despite saying it would be one of the first things he's do.


He hasn't "transcended traditional politics" as he promised. He's just as much of a schm3ck, manipulator, and liar as every politician that preceded him.
Oh man, that will be GOLDEN. How many times did he promise this, as well as "if you like your plan or your doctor, you can keep them"? We know this was a LIE.

Obamacare, the gift that gave so much in 2010, will continue to give in 2012.

THE single biggest mistake of his presidency.

Didn't anyone else get the feeling he meant the "change" in your pocket?

Usually a thread like this gets an equal amount of pro and anti posts. The pro-Obama are surprisingly quiet for some reason.
They go to bed early quite often so they are fresh in the morning. Maybe they have been keeping up with the GOP crap in Iowa to see who may be Obama's competition.

Seems Obama has admitted that after all those years of attending church at the feet of Reverend Wright, Obama has said he isn't aware of 'G*d damn America' and other lectures of the Reverend, possibly that he 'wasn't paying attention'... or homage... whatever.

Considering most Presidents don't actually write their own speeches, I'm convinced that while his speech are read from the TOTUS, he was only puppeting the job, not really paying attention to what he was reading.

Thus, he's never said anything to which he feels obligated as his commitment to U.S. citizens.

Like, who didn't see that one coming.

Barack Obama : "I will go though the Federal budget line by line, page by page."

“Actually, I am cutting more than I am spending. So that it will be a net spending cut.”


How's that working out for you?

Obama got Bin Ladin, then he lost the middle east.

I shouldn't have to explain what is meant by "lost".

I really shouldn't have to.

Obama isn't to blame for the mess Bush created in the Middle East. Furthermore, the Middle East isn't something to be won or lost. That imperialist mentality is what in a large way contributed to the mess we are in with that region.
