Most Americans are stupid and still believe him.

I saw barry on GMA this morning...in an interview about UHC, he got misty eyed when Kennedy was brought into the subject. Since this was Kennedy's life long ambition to get UHC passed and he has not been in the trenches.

Obama said that Kennedy's "spirt" was over the UHC plan.

Touching....

He clearly laid out his positions and his intentions prior to the election. Americans listened and the majority decided this was the direction they wanted the country to go in and they voted for him. Now he is simply carrying out the policies he put forward during the presidential campaign. As Americans we voted for him because we liked his vision and agreed with his policies. If you don't like his policies then you either didn't vote for him or should do more research prior to casting your vote. This is Democracy guys. Maybe you would prefer to live in a dictatorship where there is no threat to the conservative status quo?

I remember the words out of his mouth and they weren't "everything is gonna be perfect the minute I'm president and my bill passes".
I can see you really, really don't want to revisit what obama said about the stimulus, do you?

Your source is a criminal who should be in Jail, anything Rove has to say should be said under oath

The man is shameless in his willingness to tell lie after lie. Does he think we don't have a record of his statements?

Shutting Guantanamo Bay Detention Center
Withdrawal of troops from Iraq
A public option healthcare plan

Just a few examples of his promises that are being kept and on very important issues. As for the stimulus, that all remains to be seen as it is still too soon after Bush ran the nation off a cliff to judge the effects of Obama's policies.

Obama has done absolutely nothing and will do nothing that will benefit the nation. He and his minions are only interested in a unprecedented grab for power and could care less about the american public's wants or needs. He is a danger to this country and a call for his impeachment wouldn't be premature. He needs to go before he totally destroys this country.
Paranoid nonsense.

No, actually, they would prefer to live in a theocratic dictatorship, in which the Christian Bible decides law. On one level, that's why they're so angry. They never in a million years thought their theocratic kingship would be taken from them. On another level, it's about money. The rich have profited on an obscene level under Bush--in part, through tax cuts (which, clearly, did NOTHING to help the economy), and through the dismissal of American workers and the poor. They think the country and all power belongs to them through birthright, and are now furious that democracy is back front-and-center.

And Karl Rove as a source???

Well, either Karl Rove or Limbaugh will do.
