I'm sure he'll be able to deliver on...some. and MANY will fall by the
wayside for obvious reasons that he exaggerated his promises.

Kind of like the dog trying to figure out what to do after he caught
the car. the car.

But that's not uncommon. I'd say that 80% of politicians are liars
anyhow. *The other 10% try to convice the public they were only joking.

New math?

Eisboch

No, I forgot to follow up that the remaining 10% are actually honest
and do serve the public.

But they don't get any recognition and don't last long.

I'm sure President Obama will deliver on many of his promises, make
progress on many others, and some will fall by the wayside for various
reasons. If you think it should be otherwise, you're not being
realistic.

Problem is, here's what many people heard:

"I won't have to worry about gas prices, or paying my mortgage".

To the best of my recollection, Obama never said anything that would lead
anyone to those conclusions. On the other hand, Bush said he would catch
those responsible for plotting 9-11. When is that going to happen? On
Obama's watch?

Obama never said the exact words leading to the woman's reaction. However,
he said things that led gullible people (like her and others) to draw that
conclusion, just like you seem to have drawn the conclusion that Bush said
he'd get bin Laden on his watch. He never said that. In fact, he was very
careful to say it may take a very long time, even ten years or more.

BTW, recent reports by military commanders and the CIA indicate that they
have been able to further zero in on bin Laden's hiding spot. I wouldn't
be surprised to hear some really good news someday soon.
According to the report, bin Laden has effectively been cut off from any
direct communications or contact with al Qaeda outside of the small group
who are trying to protect him. He spends 24 hours a day concentrating on
not being captured or killed. What a life, huh?

That may be so, but I see no reason to believe our "intel" sources.
Their track record...sucks.

A lot of folks came to those conclusions because of Obama's promises of
a chicken in every pot and his promise to re distribute wealth and
provide free this and that to everyone. His speeches were carefully
crafted to suck in the barely literate and give them hope and promises
of a carefree prosperous, and happy future. What amazes me is that he
sucked in so many supposedly bright people like yourself as well. You
better hope and pray that congress starts taking a daily dose of smart
pills and begins to do the job we are paying them to do.


Right, Jim. I was going to vote for "Bomb, Bomb Iran" and the
simple-minded Alaskan Jesus Freak.

You may not have voted for the less of two evils.

What the hell is '"Jesus Freak". You make Archie Bunker sound like a

Actually, I am using the term ironically. Sarah Palin actually is not a
