We still torture. Sorry, thats not a "campaign promise" that he kept. He could be impeached? Hell bush got away with it for years, and if you haven't noticed, Obama is continuing many of his policies.

We still hold prisoners without benefit of trial...a "work in progress"? yeah, right. I'd like to see you arrested and have your lawyer tell you that.

People are still losing their homes every single day of the week...what "state" do you live in that, that isn't happening? Denial? Guess people aren't becoming unemployed in your "state" either.


The credit card bill: NO CAPS Concealed Weapons in National Parks. And that helps whom? Lets see...gee gun owners and banks..who get their loans interest FREE from guess who? OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS
How did Obama come to the defense of ordinary, everyday people who are literally getting raped by credit card companies? He didn't. But they sure were happy in S Carolina today when they had a tax free sale on guns! Think how many of them they can now take into National Parks? Whoopee! But the poor slob that works down the block just watched his interest rate, jump from 12% to 30% And he pays on time! Who helped him? Wasn't Obama.

Banks were given money and they spent it, without benefit of regulation. They were suppose to lend it out to consumers & small businesses..but they decide to invest it in other things. Their Penalty? NADA.


And while Obama is still making "plans" the Genocide in Darfur continues.

And while Obama is still making "plans" FDR already had enacted regulations on banks and formed the CCC to help the unemployed. And guess what? Thats was just his first year.

And excuse me...just what is Obama's policy for Afghanistan? No one seems to know, but you, I guess. You want to sit there and deny we are stuck in two wars that are draining our economy...and not for nothing...we haven't even EXITED Iraq yet. You understand, that still costs us money, don't you? Not to mention lives.

So Obama has an "exit strategy" for Afghanistan, does he? Lets hope its a better one than he currently has for Iraq. And as for him "exiting" Afghanistan...sending more troops there doesn't seem the way to "exit" .


And one more thing..."People like me" are voters. They have a right to expect results, after they work hard to get democrats elected. Do you know how frustrating it is to hear how we have to get these people into office, give them the majority, then watch them kowtow to republicans? If you don't..I'll tell you..it turns my stomach. I have watched for 8 years,while Republicans ran through every kind of legislation they wanted. It was always the democrats saying: "But we dont have the majority, we can't stop them!" Well they do now, trouble is, I hear the same damn excuse. And it's starting to wear mighty thin.

Of course I don't think he "walks on water" he isn't God, but I don't think I have to agree with every single thing that he does either. And I don't. To even compare Obama to FDR is ludicrous. In one year FDR did more...not "planned", for the American people, then any president I know.

How's that $13 dollars a week working for you? Hope you didn't run out and buy a yacht. Now here's the funny part...that $13 will now be taxed. Yup the help the middle class is receiving is just so overwhelming I don't have words to describe my gratitude.

And how about the elderly? For the 1st time since 1975 their SS benefits have not increased. But their payments to Medicare have. Do you think that encourages older people to vote for democrats? They pay more, get less, and as is often the case, they can't handle their medical bills, or home repairs, so they charge it with their credit cards, at 30% interest. Real Nice.

You know you put up a lot of pretty pictures of Obama with your links. Not that I mind...he's a good looking man, but it reminds me of a re-education camp. It isn't the links, or democrats patting each other on the back for what they think is "outstanding". It's real people, what's happening in their lives, how they are coping. Pretty pictures don't solve their problems. They have real ones, that need attention. How about giving them a few breaks instead of the banks?


You may want to hero worship the guy, that's your privilege. It's a free country. You are entitled to your opinion and so am I. I certainly don't hate the man, I voted for him. But that doesn't mean I have to constantly kiss his ass either. And I have no intention of doing that, I'll leave that job up to you. If I see the quality of my life and the others around me improve, he has my blessings, if I dont? He can hit the road with the rest of them...I'm tired of all the promises and bullshit.
