I think we can all infer that making radical changes does not equal status quo, or maybe not, this is the internet where logic and words means nothing.

This coming from a group of people who fell for the "Hope and Change" mantra hook, line, and sinker.

You never questioned him. He was black. He was attractive. He had a beautiful family. Experience? Who needs it?! And now you see how not performing your due diligence has cost you to the point you're now admitting "nothing will change."

The point? All this blather and excuse-making is in fact a de facto admission that Barack Obama is an utter failure. No Hope. No Change. You were hoodwinked.

I call this The Liberal Awakening. A rhetorical Pie In the Face Slapdown for being the sheep that Obama wanted you to be in 2008. All of you should be embarrassed for being so horribly duped.

The collective groan from the right: "We Told You So."
Yeah I know if only Obama had not been elected things would be "the way they are supposed to be". Everyone would "know their place". It would be "the way it always has been"

Other than you're a partisan and your listen to your emotions and not your brain, you have no content to your post. I'm not even a liberal. It's just sad to see a grown adult so unable to put together his own thoughts.

There's been plenty of change in 3 years just as there has been in any Presidency. The guy did Healthcare reform (in spite of opposition by Republicans to ANY healthcare reform), wound down the War in Iraq, changed strategy in Afghanistan, CAFE standards, changed policy on torture, Gays in the Military, etc. Thus, whining about there being no changes is rather silly and infantile.

I'm not so sure that you should be whining about 2008 sheep. Feel free to look back. The Republicans had full control of the entire government for 6/8 years of Bush. How was the economy when they left? How many wars were we in? What was happening with the fiscal situation? How was the real estate market? Bubbled?

I'd be careful. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Great post. Just terrific. He also stopped those banks from ripping off people with those stupid fees and got transparency into the credit card game And I know fatcats hate that.

You seem to forget one thing; Obama is not to blame for the crap this country is in.

He stopped banks from ripping people off with fees? LOL

Are you serious? Before Barack Obama was hired, I had a zero fee checking, with interest. Now I have a $17 per month "maintenance fee" on my checking accounts.

So much for "stopping banks."

Since I wasn't disspointed since I didn't expect much, and absolutly dispise the whole tea party mess, so long as the repulicians feel they must cater to them I'll not touch them. I don't like any of the rebubs. I'd like the officials of our government to ALL quit acting like spiteful children. So I'll stick with the known least harmful quantity in Obama.

Sadly all we have out there are ideologs, radical righters with disgusting social issures, and spindoctors....
I'm sure glad the right doesn't have the smarts to listen to voters like you tell them the truth. If they would have and got rid of the tea party and the birthers Obama might have to actually try hard. But they didn't and in fact have doubled down on that nonsense Thats good for the big O

So, who is saying these things, do you have some citations or links? Just wondering, it would help knowing who said what.

Thats what I want a head to head battle. Nominate a tea party man and see how the Country feels.
