The O is for Overrated »

Posted By pc25 7 months, 3 weeks ago in News

In his campaign for the Presidency, candidate Barack Obama and his minions relied on several key messages:

* I am for change (I am not George Bush);
* I am the candidate who will break through the racial barrier and show how America (and yes, you the voter) can be part of this noble uplifting effort;
* I am young and vigorous but also calm and composed (not like John McCain);
* I am a gifted speaker who will inspire you.

Experience, and in particular executive experience, was not much discussed, since Obama had less of both than any candidate for President in history.

    FTA

    The jury is still out on whether we can trust Obama to do the job to which he is elected, which involves far more than speechmaking So far, we see more of a permanent campaign than a functioning Executive. If that pattern continues, there will be more Americans over time who will conclude that the O in Obama is for overrated.

    I'm sure 0Bama will do 'the job' but the question is whose agenda is he following to get 'the job' done,ie, Lansky? Marx?, Pelosi?, Chairman Mao?, Lenin???.

    Right now though, he appears to be a European styled Socialist. But that is for right now. Who knows what pose he will strike in 6 months to a year if not sooner.

    However, I'm wondering if and when he will become an American President first and a citizen of the New World Order later.

      I find it interesting how the Obama Campaign collected all the money it did las year and still doesn't pay all or maybe any of it's bills. I have to wonder what all that money is doing now. Btw, has anyone seen a story about $72B of the TARP being unaccounted for?

      O.B.A.M.A.!

        I think it's for "over-rated" and "Oops. What did we DO here!?"

            Overrated only by the deaf and dumb who didn't say a word about the present catastrophe brought about George W Bush and his GOP. They caused and left the mess which will take a miracle to straighten out

            Cushi, no he isn't fiddling - he is using taxpayers money to make a grand tour of Europe - millions of dollars, and lots of green house gases, while the US is basically leaderless.

            We would be a lot better of if he did do some fiddling at home.

            No no no. O is for Over-reaching pseudo-cons in their desire to see the United States fail.

            O is for Oh my God I can't believe the Republicans are in the minority.
