The most basic premise that most voters could agree on was that he was not another incompetent Republican like George W. Bush.
December 24th, 2009 at 7:46 am
They dont care about specifics they are the same idiots that will pay .99cents 5x to vote on American Idol. its image and about being in the “in group” to them

Liberals didn’t buy into any promises, they just wanted relief from that CONSERVATIVE, Corporate greed on Wall Street that has engulfed Main St.
January 2nd, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Its not about the politics its about the feeling of being “cool” and “trendy” and IGNORANT
January 2nd, 2010 at 8:38 pm
What promises did you fall for the last 8 years told by current & soon to ex-president George W. Bush who will also earn a new title in history, worst president ever & Obama did keep Sarah” I can see Russia from my backyard” Palin from being one heartbeat away from being the next president
January 5th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
are you telling me that he cannot accomplish these simple tasks during his eight years tenure in the white house, yes he can yes he can, this guy is special can’t you get it in your head
January 5th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Is there something on this list you wouldn’t like to see?
Its an admirable list a bit heavy on benefits for vets and health, but hey its our country and thats a excellent thought.
Just the fact that someone could reckon of this after years of being told that kissing up to huge business and the financial and insurance industries is a major plus as far as Obama was concerned.
Is it doable? No, we owe way too much money that Bush has already spent on the wars while lowering taxes of those kissed-up-to wealthy.
But its nice that you have clarified what we need to be done if we can get out of the mess hes left us after eight small years.
January 7th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Every single one you listed.
Incredible, ain’t it?
