0bama Is a Mistake........ Now We Know It! »
Posted By GLee 7 months, 4 weeks ago in NewsI'm sorry for saying this again, but really...... we don't know this guy 0bama.
"As smart and credentialed as he is, Sen. Obama is often an indifferent speaker without a teleprompter. He has large gaps in his knowledge base, and is just as likely to dig in and embrace a policy misstatement as abandon it. ABC reporter Jake Tapper calls him 'a one-man gaffe machine'."
Of course, going from the Illinois state senate to being a presidential frontrunner is a lot of ground to cover in just a few years ...
Still, it's fair to say that Obama has been playing "over his head" for quite some time. He's like a young football team who starts off winning a lot of games. Deep down, you always suspect it won't last.

Stll mouthing that lie Messo?
When I went to sleep this morning, the scoreboard read 62.5 million. Now it reads 63.7 million.
I was about to open up a spreadsheet to figure out how many votes are left to be counted, but I decided to stop by Nate's place first to see if he'd already done the work.
He didn't disappoint. According to his analysis, there are another 1.8 million votes left to be tallied for Obama, which would bring his final total to 65.5 million or so. (Which would still be the most a president had ever received.)
McCain, for his part, has about 1.3 million votes left to be tallied, which would bring his total up to about 57.6 million.
Yeah 57 million folks is such a smallish number
63000000 is only 17% of the nation,,,,,,, You are in the 20% you hawk
He also won by less than 10%,,,,,,, you do the math Mr. 20%,,,,,

This is a new low! And that's saying alot. As I have said all along it is Obama's intellect that scares the cr*p out of your sorry lot. You wouldn't fear him if you truly believed him incompetent. But he scares you senseless.....

This article if printed would make a nice cat box liner...that about sums up its total worth. Pathetic garbage from the dim witted of our society. I think you call yourselves the "Silent Majority". In that case it must mean a whole lot of you forgot to vote!

Heck, I have seen some of this guys moves. Oh yeah, he's George Bush in camouflage. LOL Took me a second to recognize him. If Bush was sooo bad of a President then why, Oh why is Obama trying to copy him. And doing a bad job of it too. If I may add. And spending the crap outta us in the process.

P.S. I really don't believe he's George Bush. Just thought I would add that in case goppy was busy.-

Copy Bush? Which Bush policy is he copying?
Reply
He is NOT drilling in Wyoming or ANWR, which Bushco had wanted to do!
He is closing Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility within 1 year!
He is ending military operations in Iraq!
He and Secretary Geithner fired the CEO of GM...a move, GW would never have done.
He has decreased taxes on the middle class making less than $250,000 a year!
He INCREASED taxes on people making more than $250,000 per year, back to levels not seen since Bill Clinton was President.
He has improved relations with our European allies and stopped alienating them as evident at the G20 summit.
Again I ask, which one of the Bush policies did he pursue or continue?

Obama's success............you mean the person the Brits refer to as Presiden Pantywaist........the new surrender money..........in office les than 100 days and already the political leaders in Europe know he is a pushover....he lacks grit, determination, leadership, character, judgement. The first test that called for some leadership, some backbone, some cajones, the Somali Pirates........THEY ONLY HIJACKED AN AMERICAN FLAGGED vessel, and this clown is missing in action........I am sure Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran, N Korea, the Talinab, and Al Qaeda are now quaking in their boots over JIMMY BAMA. A LOOSER A WANKER

It's still in the hundred day period of his presidency, he has 500 unfilled positions, multiple foreign diplomacy gaffs, is following and even amplifying some of Bushes "state secret" actions that infuriated the left, NK test firing rockets during his "nuke-free" speech, and now we have a terrorist incident with a U.S. citizen hostage and apparently we intend to "appease" the pirates into submission.

Here we go again with the cj bs from the left,,,,,, then if we return the rhetoric they will whine and cry that we are mean,,,,,,,,,, But since you brought it up, I want to pose a question I've asked before,,,,,,
Reply
Ace, you seem to be astute enough in your knowledge of what one of those look like, please give us a lesson in what constitutes one.
How many does it take to make said “circular pleasure stimulus” (CPS) an actual ‘circle’?
Is two enough? Does it take three? Or does it need to be at least four to be involved to make it a ‘true’ circle?
Then to break it down a bit more,,,,,,,, do the participants from the right do this ‘jerking’ with their right hands? And if that’s so then can we assume that a leftist CPS use their left hands? Then what of those that are independent? Do they go the double fisted route?
Are the mechanics altered if a female from that political persuasion joins in?
Let’s not even consider what would happen if it’s a bipartisan CPS, I’d think the rhythm would be way out of sync.
Are lubes involved?
GAWD so many unanswered questions!!!!!!

The Obama presidency is accomplishing the impossible. It's revealing the right's lunacy to be even more extreme than we previously believed possible. When Bush was president, if you didn't agree with him, you hated America. Now these butterfly chasers can barely let a day slip by with another drama queen spaz session where we are told that Obama plans a dictatorship even while he surrenders our sovereignty to foreign countries! One day he is the iron fisted dictator who plans to let the government name our children and the next day he is the weak kneed apologist who can't make a decision. The whacky ditto heads can't see how these two assertions are incompatible but logic, consistency, and reason have never been their strong suit. Hysteria and hyperbole are. The right is coming down of their high and crashing hard. Their jonezing. It's very amusing. Keep it coming please!

Last year the liberals were ranting about the horrid Bush deficits that were bankrupting the country. The Obama mesiah comes into office and makes Bush look like a miser. What do the liberals do? Act like it is just fine. So in that respect Obama is accomplishing the impossible. He has made the liberals turn on a dime about deficit spending. He is putting our country in hock with a $1 trillion deficit as far as it can be calculated. A lot of that is the growth of the government in a huge way. But liberals who ranted about the Bush deficit are just going along. Turned on a dime.

I don't see Barry 0 as a failure for he is doing what I expected him to do as an inexperienced Junior Senator with strong Socialist leanings and less than 2yrs experience with the 'bigs' of DC politics and world govts.

Hopefully he will 'mature' some in the next 100 days and figure out what to do.
Hopefully he can figure it out, but I'm truly beginning to wonder if he can or even wants to. -

"King" Georgie and his Crackpot Cabal of NeoConMen were the MISTAKE!
Reply
And as for "gaffes", Bush took great delight in pretending to not even be ABLE to pronounce the word "nuclear" --- WITH OR WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF A TELEPROMPTER!
I'll take Obama's sincerity and pragmatism over "Neocon" CYNICISM any day!
He IS, however, going to have to lead us AWAY from militarism in AFGHANISTAN if he wants to KEEP that allegiance! -

I know how you feel. When my guys lost in 2000 and 2004 I felt the same way. I think I was called un-American and a traitor too for voicing opposition to the President. Welcome to my old former club- may you keep the home fires burning a long time!

It's just kind of sad that the byline for the article says it all..."OBAMA IS A MISTAKE.....NOW WE KNOW IT". 47% of the voters already knew that and it is just sad that some of the other 51% are just starting to realize that fact also. There will always be a percentage that no matter how much he fails or how badly he does or how many promises he breaks, will still think of him as the Messiah! OBAMA is nothing more than the JIM JONES of politics and those who are hooked on his KOOL AID will never ever realize what hit them. If you think this country is in trouble now, wait until he has been in office another year or so and when nothing has changed per his air inflated empty promises. God help us all!

What am I missing? The article I was hooked to was from a year ago. Was that a mistake? Do the naysayers just put anything on line so they can bash our President who has a 67% approval rating (yeah I know it's lower among Republicans,but then there aren't many of them left). And to decide to pick on
Reply
"gaffes" after 8 years of W. I can sympathize with your feeling of loss, but really President Obama is proving to be a
good and pragmatic leader. He's gotten a lot done and he hasn't even been in office for 90 days yet. Remember, the title
of this article was written a year ago - a bit irrelevant now! -

COULD ANYONE EVER MAKE THIS WORLD HAPPY? THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH EVERYONE. NONE OF US ARE WITHOUT FAULT. WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. I'M SURE WE ALL LIE. MAYBE NOT ALL LIE INTENTIONALLY, BUT WE ALL LIE. I WAS NOT AN OBAMA FAN. I DIDN'T THINK NOR STILL DON'T THINK HE HAS THE EDUCATION OR WHAT IT TAKES TO BE PRESIDENT (WHATEVER THAT IS). DOES ANYONE KNOW? WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE ANYWAY TO CHOOSE FROM. WHY ANYONE WOULD PUT THEMSELVES IN A POSITION LIKE HE HAS IS BEYOND ME. NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN THE WORLD WOULD HELP. I WOULD BET HE IS SORRY THAT HE EVER CAMPAIGNED. LIVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE? HAVING A CHANCE FOR YOUR FAMILY TO LIVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE? ALL THE PUBLISTICY? BEING ABLE TO TRAVEL ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME? DO ANYTHING YOU WANT AT ANYTIME? I THINK MICHELLE IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, I LOVE HER LONG TONED ARMS. I WISH MINE WERE LIKE HERS. THEIR DAUGHTERS ARE BEAUTIFUL. OBAMA IS GOOD LOOKING AND HAS A BEAUTIFUL SMILE. I HOPE IT IS REAL. I HOPE IT HASN'T LIED TO US. OH HOW DISAPPOINTING IF HE HAS. I DON'T THINK THERE HAS BEEN ONE PRESIDENT THAT HASN'T LIED TO US YET. WE ARE GOING DOWN HILL SO FAST THAT WE CAN'T CATCH UP. GOD HELP US... AND NOT ALLA OR WHOMEVER.. I MEAN JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR. FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH, JUST THOUGHT I WOULD PUT IN MY TWO CENTS. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.

OBAMA JUST GAVE A BRIEF STATEMENT ON THE HOSTAGE CRISIS USING HIS TELEPROMPTER. AFTER APOLOGIZING TO THE KENYAN-SOMALI PIRATES FOR AMERICAN SHIPS BEING IN THEIR OCEAN, HE STATED THAT IT IS AMERICAN ARROGANCE WHICH BROUGHT ABOUT THE CRISIS. FURTHER, HE SAID THAT THE SOMALI-KENYAN PIRATES WOULD NOT BREAK THE LAW IF THEY HAD NOT BEEN VICTIMS OF POVERTY. HE SAID THEIR POVERTY IS THE FAULT OF AMERICAN TAXPAYERS AND EVIL CORPORATIONS THAT BUILD SHIPS. PLUS, HE SAID MOST OF THE PIRATES' FATHERS WERE ABSENT FROM THEIR HOMES (as was his own Kenyan father). HE IS PROPOSING THAT AMERICAN TAXPAYERS (but only those earning more than $30,000 annually) PAY FOR A NEW PROGRAM CALLED THE SOMALI-KENYAN PIRATE STIMULUS ACT. HE FEELS THIS IS THE ONLY FAIR WAY TO PROCEED. SEC OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON IS REPORTED TO BE IN FULL AGREEMENT. VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAD NO COMMENT, AS HIS MIND WAS NOT WORKING TODAY.

You must work for Fox news... a republican liar who probably proclaims to be a Christian, too! Bearing False Witness.... love to break those Ten Commandments, don't you republicans? Can't put out the truth, so you make things up to try and "win" something (not sure what). There just aren't enough bullets.....
