Obama's Broken Promises

[wranglerdavis]

I was actually talking about her, not him when it comes to the clicks, not ticks. Also it took 8 years to destroy a country. Why would you think that it would take less than 2 to dig us out of this tremendous hole?

Sorry, your post wasn't very clear. You jumped around so much. My mistake. As far as 8 years to destroy a country, For the majority of the 8 years the unemployment rate was under 5%. It went up the last year or two (to 7.2% when Bush left office) after the mortgage collapse (caused in large part by Barny Frank's friends Freddie and Fannie aka greedy people were protected by Democrats at the expense of Americans) and Wall Street's collapse (caused by greedy people protected by Republicans at the expense of Americans). None of this has to do with the majority of any of the points I listed. If you want to talk about Bush, start a different thread. Don't try to change the topic.

I read the LOADED thread title. I do agree that he should be doing a hell of alot more but usually these threads are started by people that thought Bush was a good or decent president-

If you go back and read a lot of my previous posts, you'll see I am in no way a Bush supporter and have said that Bush and Obama are both big spenders who pay too much attention to lobbiests and special interests rather than doing what the majority of the people who elected them want. Example: the majority were against government paid for prescription drugs, for securing the border after 9-11, and against government run health care, and running up huge debt. I hope this puts to rest the people who keep saying this is started by an Obama hater who loved Bush. I respect both in that they both accomplished a lot before they took office, but like all polititions, they were corrupted by power.
Can you tell me why any of the points I brought up in the original post are wrong? I do have one to add. Obama promised to close Guantanamo within one year of taking office.

True. That's a debate that I'm not sure has a clear right or wrong answer. Hopefully the new regulations Obama's spearheading will prevent companies from becoming "too big to fail". I fall on the side that thinks keeping the system as stable as possible through this crisis was more important, but I certainly see the value of just letting them fail. I guess time will tell.

The Obamabots believe he has done so much when in fact we all know this country is going backwards, downwards and becoming worse instead of better.

He has ZERO major accomplishments in 19 months.

He has made more major mistakes in those 19 months then anyone I can ever remember.

He has embarrassed American beyond belief.

His poor decisions and lack of solid leadership, his dividing our country and doing things like speaking out on the Arizona law when the fool did not even read the bill shows he is not only not well rounded but a bit childish.

Many times his followers will say, he has kept more then he has broken.

The answer is the major most important promises that got his sorry butt elected have turned out to be broken promises and lies.

Anyone can pick a few baby promises and get them done but when it comes to QUALITY he has failed period.

It is sad that this country is getting worse by the day and people can actually say he has done a good job.

My county has already set another record this month already for foreclosures. Most due to massive job losses thanks to the un stimulus bill.
This makes 7 months in a row.

Still today he does not even talk or do anything about jobs.

Someone needs to tell the idiot to stop running around the country with other countries idiots and start working on JOBS like he promised us.

Remember he promised 5 million new jobs and not a dime of taxes being raised. Guess he lied on both of them didnt he.


Obama has been and will be a complete an utter embarrassment and failure and will divide this country beyond repair with his antics and anti American socialistic ideals.

He was never ready for this job and should resign and let someone who can do the job finish the mess he has made.

Thanks to him he has destroyed the entire dem party and wiped out many careers of dem congressional members.

Thanks to him the end of liberals running things in America is about to end!!
