This is unacceptable to me

Obama has done everything he promised. He promised hope and change, but if you look at his past voting records and plans, he's done everything he said he would. That's precisely why I didn't vote for him. His idea of hope and change wasn't what I was looking for in a president.

Obama ran on a fantasy. He promised the world. Rather like Miss America saying she wants to work toward world peace.

He won the Nobel Peace Prize on that same fantasy. We are still fighting two wars with no end in sight. He is unable to lead, unable to command the respect of the troops and the American people.

People voted with a "Hollywood Happy Ending" mentality, instead of the reality of the man. Sad thing is I think Obama actually believed his Hope and Change campaign, and is throughly confused about his own ineptitude and failure.

he has to work within the confines of situation at hand (and what was handed to him)

First - it wasn't "Handed to him", he begged, pleaded and spent MILLIONS of dollars to own it. (Which is funny since he's done everything but backflips to pretend he doesn't own it now).
Second - he did all that begging, pleading, and spending like a trust fund baby on spring break (columns, really?) knowing absolutely what the confines of the situation were. Despite that knowledge, ye knowingly lied his ass off telling people exactly what they wanted to hear (gay rights, anyone?) knowing they were so desperate for "change" he could promise free ice cream for everyone and they'd believe it. That is not an excuse for either his behavior or his continued trust fund baby on spring break spending since taking office. It SHOULD have been a very clear and obvious warning, but some people didn't want to look.

It also wasn't 'handed to him' because he sat in the Democratic Congress that helped to create this mess in the first place. You cannot inherit what you helped to build.

Hitler basically promised change as well. He promised innovation and making a difference. And he also delivered. The holocaust was indeed inovative and certainly did make a difference. That is what happens when you listen to fluff with no substance.

It scares me to death to think of Biden running the country, but as a VP, we couldn't have gotten a better source of entertainment.

Really don't know what you have until you loose it. We got to down size on the wants vs the needs. I agree with your assessment on recovery mode of 5+ years. What we have here is a global problem.

BTW, I'm starting to love Biden. At least you can count on him to tell the truth. The stimulus ain't working, those jobs arent coming back.

. What we have here is a global problem.


Yes, we do. People need to do a little traveling or talk to people who live in other industrialized nations. Is Obama responsible for the problems world wide? he has to work within the confines of situation at hand (and what was handed to him). It's not as easy as turning lemons to lemonade. It's not black and white, imo.

This is a global recession-
