Listening to some one who actually understands what is going on talk about it is 100 times for constructive than listing to the pointless rants of the people at the town halls. Now if people would just open their ears and LISTEN!!!

Someday, i hope its required on the internet that people post links showing everyone else what leads them to make statements.

PolitiFact | The Obameter: Tracking Barack Obama's Campaign Promises
Still 34 kept to 7 broken

Americans are afraid as the dwindling economy takes jobs, benefits, and their savings; they want specifics, which he appears to evade at every chance.
So as we see further signs of recovery, these 'americans' freak out WAY worse than ...
1. When the economy was losing 3 times as many jobs
2. When the DOW was 33% lower

As things continue to improve over where the last administration left us - this minority's freak outs look dumber and dumber.

Here's a snippet from realclearpolitics.

Direction of the country:

Day of the election, Nov 4.
84.2% wrong direction
9.6% right direction

August 10
54.6% wrong direction
38.6% right direction

He promised so much while campaigning, but has been unable to deliver. He is one of the worst presidents this country has ever elected. George Bush was only slightly better. Having any sort of discussion doesn't seem possible. The main thing seems to be making silly remarks to a person posting an opposite view.

The audiences at town hall meetings ask questions and the president answers them. Why is that so hard to understand there would be a difference in word counts between a question and its answer? The Obama nitpickers are outdoing themselves on this one. Crazy!

If we listened to everything he said we would be well lied to by our President. He is a snake oil salesman.

I almost threw up in my mouth.

If I actually listened to what he said I would be as dumb as he. His speaking points are for numbskull progressives as they love to clap and cheer him on for no reason at all. A flea circus makes more sense and is far more entertaining.
Our POTUS can weave a mystical tapestry of BS using words he can't pronounce correctly while reading from a teleprompter.
Given such, who is misinformed?

Did you people really need to dig up a 5 year old thread to help you with your Obama bashing? Seriously? I guess there weren't enough current "Obama is a lying, fascist, Marxist, communist, socialist, Muslim who's squatting in the White House" threads to satisfy you.

Why should I listen? Most of what he says is a flat out lie anyway. Not too mention, he will just turn around and deny saying it. Or say he was "misquoted," or "taken out of context."

Just remember, Obummer can pass health care reform and "it not cost one thin dime." He said so himself. So, who was the misinformed one here?

When Obama speaks I've made it policy to turn him off the minute he starts attacking Americans, republicans, the tea party. Needless to say I'm lucky if he is on for more than a minute, two max.

Blaming, attacking and whining is not a sign of anyone worth listening to.

Dammit! That was a brand new irony detector, too.
