I could name a few....

[droski]

you clearly don't care about the little people in this country.

If Obama, Reid, Pelosi, et al were Pinocchio, their nose would extend beyond our solar system by now.

Sadly, that's the case with seemingly all politicians in DC now.

Don't hate the player, hate the game!

That's just it OB2.

The man was elected on the idea that he wouldn't play the game. Turns out, he's an all-star.

I expect him to be a politician. It's the constant denial from him that he's a politician 2 seconds before or after he makes a blatant political move or statement that I'm referring to.

Small case in point. He tries to score political points and diminish Cantor's comments by accusing him of using the massive bill as a "prop". Next time we see him, he has a bunch of docs lined up behind him when he lays out the HC bill (that is virtually unchanged). How do we know they are docs? He has them dressed in white lab coats or scrubs (at least they had them dressed properly this time and didn't have to hand out lab coats). I'd say he out propped Cantor with this move.

During his speech he claimed the bill had been stalled by purely political tactics and we must put politics aside. Then he mischaracterized the opposition, misrepresented criticisms and exaggerated what his bill would do. He also took political shots at the opposition.

I repeat - I expect him to be a politician. It's annoying as heck though that he spends so much effort to persuade people that he's not.

It is part of his massive credibility slide.

hopefully he'll be gone in 3 years. or atleast the dem majority will be gone.

Then there is this:



Among their neighbours were Dr Njoroge Mungai, former President Kenyatta's personal physician, President Kibaki, who was then minister for Finance and the late Barack Obama Sr, father of American President Barack Obama.

The White House on Friday announced a "summit on entrepreneurship" to build economic ties with the Islamic world, part of President Barack Obama's outreach to Muslims.

NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to “find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries” as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.


Pres. Barack Obama has proposed in his new budget the cutting of billions of dollars from the NASA space program, particularly that of the nearly completed moon mission Constellation project.

His proposal will hit hardest the Clear Lake area of Houston, Texas and areas of Florida with thousands more lost jobs… but the unemployment surge won’t stop in Texas and Florida, impacting a potential loss nationwide of 30,000 jobs.

Turkey recalled its ambassador from Washington for consultations after a U.S. House panel brushed aside Obama administration concerns and approved a resolution calling the killing of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey genocide.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee approved the measure today, 23-22. It says the Ottoman Empire, the predecessor of modern-day Turkey, killed 1.5 million ethnic Armenians from 1915 to 1923. It asks the president to ensure that U.S. foreign policy reflects “appropriate understanding” of the atrocity and “the consequences of the failure to realize a just resolution.”



The White House and state department began work today to try to prevent the controversial issue making its way to the floor of the house for a full vote.

The chairman of the Armenian National Committee of America, Ken Hachikian, who is based in Washington, said he hoped the vote would go to the full house before 24 April, Armenian genocide commemoration day.

Doesn't every president act like this? I don't think Obama is unique to this type of behavior. Clinton did it Republican opposition. Bush did these things to Democratic opposition. Doesn't make it right either way it goes.

All do it to some extent but:

1. Obama campaigned on the idea that he wouldn't do this -- it was a core part of "Change"

2. He does it every time he speaks. I can't recall a president spending so much breath explaining how he doesn't play politics then doing it in the next sentence.

[MG1968]

one of the more annoying things about Obama is the increasing shrillness of his apologists. I know he has no real control over that, similar to Britney Spears having no control over Chris Crocker, but he doesn't help matters by being in permanent campaign mode.

I've never understood why people flock one way or the other on the political points other than the media does a pretty good job of framing the issues and ignoring and/or marginalizing many if not most of the real concerns of the electorate.




Kampala — Ugandans have formed a group to mobilise support for Kenyan born-senator, Barack Obama for the US presidency.

The Obama Solidarity Group (OSP) launched its campaign at Makerere University on January 18, according to one of the members.

Were those people, (and Gadhaffi) misinformed??

Was Congress derelict in it's duties not to ascertain the truth and follow constitutional guidelines??

Eventually many of FDR's unconstitutional programs were overthrown, nowadays about half the Supreme Court members would just as soon burn the Constitution and when Barry gets through with it, God help us all.
