"My exact point is that he raised the expectations so high with campaign rhetoric that it will be impossible to achieve what he promised."


apparently, i condensed what i was reading from you into one word-failure. but you didn't say he was one? but you did write the above....i would think, by reading that, you were suggesting he will fail.

What I'm saying is that he either knew his positions were untenable, or had bad info. Shortly after his election, he and the media said he'd need 2 terms to fix the problems. Standard Demcratic response....hell, I didn't know...
that is not a change.

it was shortly before the end of the presidential race that the poo hit the fan. the 'stimulus' package they pushed thru back last spring only delayed the inevitable. when the economy started tanking, he started talking about the realities of the situation, rather than what he wanted to push thru-it was back last summer that he first said he didn't see raising cap gains taxes as happening.
i know where i work, i make plans-and hell, everything works out perfect on paper. but you also have to be able to handle things that come up spur of the moment, you have to roll with the punches-either that, or you're denying what's right in your face. it's no surprise to me that he is saying economy FIRST. you're taking that to mean economy only.

i think you're right on that.

ignore or just didn't bother to follow along

in the truth or fiction version.. the story claims that Bush says none were found to help get the WMD out of the country so they don't have to fight over them. or something like that.

every person that gave comfort and aid to the enemy at a time of war should be put up against the wall and shot

There goes Nancy, Dick and Jack

you're like one of those ww2 japanese soldiers that were still living off the land in the philipine jungle through the 70's

you have too much pride to surrender and no one told you the battle was over.

your emperor surrendered. so did all his general's. but you fight on.

i just can't help myself. a part of me hopes you beat that windmill. it's just so sad, otherwise.

McCain was trying to hold it all together
Obama promised a new beginning
I hope it works out OK for the country.

i don't think you hope it works out ok. i think you want him to fall flat on his face, so you can start more threads like this one. the guy basically says our economy is the first, last and only priority right now, and you start a thread talking about how he's already backtracking on his promises.

You can feel how you like, but there's articles galore about Obamas' missteps
by liberal publications and sites,and legislators.

If he fell on his face , the country will suffer more damage...and I don't want that.

....stay tuned,Ziggy!

he's not even president yet.

gimme a break timmi. you have your agenda, everyone knows it.

if mccain had won, and all these articles been about him and putting parts of his agenda on hold, timmi would be on here defending him.

it's funny- a lot of folks probably do want him to fail, just so they can say 'i told you so'-and they'd probably be willing to see this country go further in the wrong direction, just so they could say that. goodness knows the bigger picture doesn't matter....as long as a person is proven correct.

Well that's a travesty if so. All of the major networks should be reporting on it. It's an outrage!! My neighbor wants Obama to fail!! Rabble Rabble Rabble!! Or at least I think he does!!

duhrrrr

feel better now?
