Yes we can, yes we can, no we can't.

George's Bottom Line

"Everybody’s going to have to give. Everybody’s going to have to have some skin in the game," Obama said.

Newsflash Obama ... I'm give out, you can have the skin off my teeth.

Let's not kid ourselves. You can't tell the American people the truth and expect to win an election. American voters demand and expect to be lied to. They just don't admit to it.

The world has changed in the last 4 months. Or hadn't you noticed? The promises Obama made were made under a different set of circumstances. Everybody--not just Obama--has to regroup and rethink.

What did Obama do to you, that you are so hate-filled towards him?

For the first time in a long time we have a straight shooter for a president, not some Wild Bill, cowboy minded person and some people can't handle it.

"I got your vote. Now, all those promises I made to get your vote? Okay, let's get realistic. Those things you wanted are a little out there, don't you think?"

lol, you never disappoint.

I believe the question was "is anyone surprised that Obama is backing off on his campaign promises?"
