So you admit your response was nothing but ranting and has nothing at all to do with the thread?

You got it. Why even bother posting such drivel?

This, from a "progressive";

Quote:
"Barack Obama has now, in just a year's time, become the single most inept president perhaps in all of American history, and certainly in my lifetime," Mr. Green said, adding that "Never has so much political advantage been [squandered] so rapidly, and what's more in the context of so much national urgency and crisis. It's astonishing, really, to contemplate how much has been lost in a single year."
As the author says; One great accomplishment of obama's; resurrecting the republicans.

The arrogance and elitist attitude is breathtaking.

We do get it, Mr. President; we just don't like it - baltimoresun.com



The more obama opined on the subject the more the public resisted his massive expansion of the government.

The recent polls showing that people just don't believe his BS show give him a clue.

The never ending arrogance & egotism of BHO appears to indeed be without equal in human history !

Thanks / Lamar

Best quote from the Baltimore Sun article:

"There's only one political party in the entire world that is so inept, cowardly and bungling that it could manage to simultaneously lick the boots of Wall Street bankers and then get blamed by the voters for being flaming revolutionary socialists." - David Michael Green, Political Science, Hofstra University, from his work, How to Squander the Presidency in One Year

LOL!

I won't speak for any one else, just my democratic friends. They wish they never head the name Obama, ever in there life, they are sorry so very sorry, that they bought into all the Media hype about Obama. I can't even bring his name up to them, they think he as failed royally, and don't like what and where he wants to take this Country, there words my friends. They do not like the way he conducts business, don't like his administration, and now they will tell you they don't like his past acquaintances, why did this not bother them before, that i don't understand. They have changed, and feel, he is not good for Our Country and where he wants to take it. See some have began to change AND the change is not for Obama.

Funny, since not one person I know that voted for Obama would like to change their vote to McCain, so I am a bit dubious when it comes to your claim. I know that the right expected the mess to be cleared up overnight, but most rational people had no such expectations.

No one expects the mess to be cleared up overnight, but most educated individuals understand that recessions have a normal economic cycles last less than a year.... Well we are not only into it for one year.. but also into the presidents term for a year.. Can you tell me one thing that has gotten better DUE to his policies? Probably not.. You'll list some things which have improved but wont be able to backup a single thing done by Obama to credit for that improvement.

Your claim of "not one person" has me just as dubious in regards to your claim. If "not one person" is dissatisifed with their vote, then I'd really question the circles that you travel in and their willingness to be honest with you..

And when the GOP puts up another fear-mongering old man and another incompetent running mate, Obama will be re-elected in a heartbeat.
