Now if you didn't vote for him I don't know what to say but you lost plain and simple.
Obama is obviously striking a nerve with these neocon leftovers... they're getting desperate and groping for anything critical they can dig up - no matter how dumb...

Obama's keeping most of his campaign promises as far as I am concerned - and I am very glad that I voted for him - I'm confident that it was the right choice - by an extremely wide margin!!!

I go to bed feeling good about things...

They go to bed frustrated and angry...

What more could you ask for?

Well Said!!! Obama never hid is intentions. Honestly, does he speak so well that you can't understand what he was saying? Obama is all about the people, that's exactly why I'm paying their mortgages now!

Lamexican,

1) $780 billion stimulus spending bill + $440 billion omnibus bill in six weeks.

Question: Those deficits you wrote about. Do you think they've gotten bigger or smaller under Obama?

2) Those tax cuts you wrote about. Was the DOW up over 14,000 in 2007 with those tax cuts in place or not?

Why? So we can watch Democrats tear down the stock market even more than they have the last 2 elections cycles? Your comment makes no sense.

Who cares about your stock portfolio other than you. Obama was elected to represent us, not Wall Street. You know as well as I if you even do possess a stock portfolio that historically Wall Street/Stock Trends have peaks and valleys. So, why are you so dumbfounded? We are undergoing extraordinary times, are you that delusional?

You go to bed feeling good about the economy and your savings going to hell? That doesn't sound rational.

And that my friends is why I watch FOX news!! By the way I loved the piece on Obama's terrorist affiliations. No wonder after just two days in office he issues an executive order to close Gitmo. Oh yeah and let's not forget the "Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009" that is added right into the omnibus spending bill HR 1105.

"Hooray! Our savings have been cut in half, and the economy is in the sewer and getting worse. Let's throw a pep rally for the guy who's doing it!!"

Some of you leftwingers are hard to figure.
