Quoted:
At this rate, 2010 will be a walk in the park. These dip**** dumbos who tie their careers to zero are fools. They'll be jumping ship before then, and trying to save their butts despite the zero-in-chief. HH They're already jumping ship which is why the Kenyan can't get Obamacare or an AWB through Congress in spite of his party's majority in both houses. And according to a late breaking article on Yahoo news; he's pushing back immigration "reform" as well. http://news.yahoo.com/s/cq/20090817/pl_cq_politics/politics3191976 |

Quoted: Quoted: I wonder how long till his oversized ego snaps . Good question...so far, he just blinks and says uhhhh alot. I wanna see a meltdown like he did with stupidly, but more boisterous. He's got to snap at some point. I want to see a full blown meltdown. Screaming rage, tears and shaking of fists! May it be so bad that the wookie locks him out of the white house.... |

The far left is going to go bonkers as he didn't keep his promises. Too bad.

He lied about: End income tax for seniors making less than $50,000 Allow five days of public comment before signing bills Tougher rules against revolving door for lobbyists and former officials Create a $3,000 tax credit for companies that add jobs Allow penalty-free hardship withdrawals from retirement accounts in 2008 and 2009 Recognize the Armenian genocide Negotiate health care reform in public sessions televised on C-SPAN So far.

Obama's is going down in history as the "Bait and Switch" presidency. His campaign was nothing but a string of lies and deceit. He painted himself as a moderate, a healer and uniter, the "cool guy". Now people are waking up to the fact that he is a far left radical ideologue, a divisive arrogant person with many axes to grind, and a bumbling douche. Quite the cold shower for those stupid enough to have bought what he was selling...

| It isn't necessarily "bait and switch" - In the paper today I read about a teacher who's upset that Obama wants to tie student scores to teacher evaluations. She thought he was going to get rid of No Child Left Behind! Obviously, she is one of MANY who weren't paying attention. I've never understood why teachers and their union supported him - he's been in support of charter schools, testing, and pay for performance since the beginning. All of which are opposite what most teachers want. What did they think they were getting?? He was clear about what he was going to do - a lot of people ignored what he said and superimpossed their desires and fantasies on top of him. |

You missed 6-10: Sixth, there is a growing fear that Obamism is becoming cult-like and Orwellian. Almost on script, Hollywood ceased all its Rendition/Redacted–style films. Iraq — once the new Vietnam — is out of the news. Afghanistan is “problematic,” not a “blunder.” Tribunals, renditions, the Patriot Act, and Predators are no longer proof of a Seven Days in May coup, but legitimate tools to keep us safe. Words change meanings as acts of terror become “man-caused disasters.” Hunting down jihadists is really an “overseas contingency operation.” Media sycophants do not merely parrot Obama, but now proclaim him a “god.” New York Times columnists who once assured us that Bush’s dastardly behavior was proof of American pathology now sound like Pravda apologists in explaining the “real” Obama is not what he is beginning to seem like. Seventh, the Obama cabinet is sounding downright uncouth and boorish. The tax-challenged Treasury secretary, Tim Geithner, unleashed a profanity-laced diatribe against bank regulators. Hillary Clinton’s recent outburst in the Congo, captured on YouTube, was something out of Days of Our Lives. Joe Biden cannot speak extemporaneously without causing an incident with the Russians or misleading the public about swine flu. Attorney General Holder sounds like a tired scold, only to be overshadowed by the president’s off-the-cuff cuts about the Special Olympics, Las Vegas, and the Cambridge police. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs makes Scott McClellan sound like a Cicero by comparison. Eighth, we were all appalled by Wall Street greed and the notion that an individual could take $100 million rather than one or two million as a bonus. But the Obama remedy for that obscenity was to conflate Goldman Sachs or AIG with the family orthodontist or local asphalt contractor whose 80-hour weeks might result in an annual $250,000 income. Worse still, the public impression is that while small entrepreneurs may pay up to 65 percent of their income in new state and federal income taxes, payroll taxes, and surcharges, those on Wall Street have been bailed out and have cut various deals with upscale liberals in government. Ninth, Democratic populism turned out to be largely aristocratic elitism. Obama spends more money on himself than did Bush. The liberal Congress has a strange fondness for pricy private jets. Those environmentalists and racialists who lecture us about our ecological and ethical shortcomings prefer Martha’s Vineyard and country estates to Dayton and Bakersfield. Offering left-wing populist sermonizing for others while enjoying the high life oneself is never a winning combination. Tenth, Americans no longer believe this is our moment when the seas stop rising and the planet ceases warming. Instead, there is a growing hopelessness that despite all the new proposed income taxes, payroll taxes, and surtaxes, the deficit will skyrocket, not shrink. There is foreboding that while apologies abroad are nice in the short term, they will soon earn a reckoning. And while the productive classes pay more of their income, and while government grows and entitlement expands, there is a sense that what follows will not be thanks for either taxes paid or benefits received, but even more anger that neither is enough and that much more is owed. Obama’s popularity might rebound with a natural upturn in the economy, continued low energy prices, and good will for our first multiracial president. But then again, it could get even worse if the recovery turns into stagflation, gas prices soar, and the identity-politics lectures amplify. The next six months should be interesting. |

He is a pure narcissist who happened to get on board the radical left ideological train to fame. His only belief system is in his own ego. He could have just as easily become a tent evangelist, actor, or used car salesman. |

| I blame the MSM for this shit and hope the backlash spills over onto them as well. I watched obama all through the campadign and knew he was full of shit, yet the lib media slobbered all over him and refused ask any intelligent or thought provoking questions regarding his "plan". Any skilled interviewer could have exposed him but instead they spent all their time smearing the opposing VP candidate. Their viewer numbers are tanking and I hope they go bust. I'm sure they will get a bailout though... |

I'm sure they will get a bailout though... As do I. They are the guilty party with the biggest blame in bringing that Trojan Horse O' Fail to the White House. They are so compromised now that they will never get their credibility back, ever. And as such, I would shed no tear at the guilty parties' immediate dismantling. What we have now is free subversion for the leftist scum and that is a dangerous thing. As evidenced by November 4th, 2008. How do we fix it? I don't know. But we better do something.  |

What happened to the Clinton Brothers happened to Bush, and is now happening to Obama.
A party gets control of both houses of Congress and the White House and they get all cocky. It pisses people off, and the jackasses in D.C. pay. It's just happening a lot faster this time. |

He acts like he is an expert on any and every subject. Amazing to watch him spin his lies. I bet he was hoot to hear when he was a kid. "My Daddy was a war hero and is now a Secret Agent and he beat the Japanese single handedly!" |

Quoted:
Look how big of a fuckup Clinton was and they STILL love him. Only because he was able to stand on Bill Gates Shoulders. Some people are not intelligent to realize we had a huge boom in technology and the world wanted to keep up with us. We had something to sell. Now they know how to steal it all. |

It should be: My daddy was a jihadist, and slew hundreds of infidels. He now lives in a mud hut with 4 concubines. |

Rush said today that we are going to have to keep fighting and protesting the FedGov for the rest of our lives...and I tend to believe it.

You will get your wish, because I believe he isn't really backing off anything. He is too arrogant to stop now. Their talking now of health insurance coops that will be seeded by the Gov't instead of the public option. They claim the Govt will not be running it, but I don't buy that for one second. |
