  1. He needs to pack a lunch.
  2. As a Messiah he ought to at least get one of them accomplished! Oh wait I just saw a pic of him as Spiderman, so maybe he will bet 2 of them done!
  3. Is that all of them? I think not!
  4. Beats the Republican approach of "Government doesn't work; elect me so I can prove it."
  5. part of it was all about getting votes and the other part was his ego actually believing that he is some sort of superman.
  6. What's even more interesting is that the president cannot make any laws, whatsoever. He does not have the power. Democrats have been in control of congress for two years. We voted them in again. So much for change......
  7. Obama's just a pandering fool !! Just like the drunk guy at closing time he will say anything to get in your pants.
  8. He wont pull it off.
  9. And where is all of this money coming from OH yea you and me - great where are the tax cuts!
  10. He wins at this one for sure! Sad thing is, many people still believe the lies!!!!!
  11. He got elected because his supporters told people that they wouldn't have to pay their house, car and electric bill. Free government cheese to everyone and free health care. I don't necessarily blame him for that because I never heard his say those things but they are going to be really ticked off when they realize it's going to be business as usual and they still have to support themselves.
  12. first thing i want to see is a real us birth certificut--not that fake...then well go from there
  13. Wow! does he plan to be in office for the next 30 years. That's how long it's going to take to fulfill all these promises. He is going to be very busy isn't he. Wow! I don't know what to say. When is he going to have time to be president? Wouldn't it be easier and save a lot of time and money if the people of this country did a lot of this themselves? A lot of these things are already in force not much new. Wow! This is something else.
  14. He doesn't. And even if he did, he can't. We don't have the money. His transition team is hard at work as we speak figuring out how to lower expectations now and how to keep blaming Bush four years from now. He never had to explain himself or offer anything specfic during the election cycle. And he still hasn't yet. Y'all bought a pig in a poke. Now you pay for it.
