7. I won't believe anything until I see it for myself. The M$M can't wait for Obama to fail...

8. They have been signaling a willingness to "compromise"

Since the August recess, and before.

This is also when his poll numbers began to tank.

Can't they see the connection?

Seems like Americans want a president with spine, with guts, with principles.

Get with the program, please, Mr. President.
