In an interview on ABC's "This Week," President-elect Obama is warning that his campaign promises will take longer than he expected to carry out, and that Americans will face more of a burden than many have realized.

[HarryCaul]

Oh look, campaign promises already falling by the wayside.

We're all in a state of deep shock that Obama won't be transforming anything as he promised to do.

[VRWC For Truth]

Longer to carry out = never. He’s out of his league.

[Paladin2]

Just 0be's way of sayin' "Present!".

I know nothin', NO THING. I didn't do nothin', It's not my fault. This isn't the Presidency I'd been expecting for the last 20 years.

[anonsquared]

Hey Obi... for those of us who have been doing the heavy lifting for decades now, we say it’s time for your side of the aisle to get off their arses and do the work!

[SolidWood]

He’s asking already for a second term. I can imagine his slogans for 2012... “Hope and Change... This time for real!”

[Campion]

The real “burden” will be when the idiots who voted for him discover that he’s ... CLUELESS.

[SERKIT]

We are asked to do more with less, except the government beast becomes just than more glutinous. Boston Harbor was full of tea for less.

[silverleaf]

So- what’s in YOUR wallet?

[Dallas59]

Uh...and...Uhhh....Changey and Hopey...Uhh...I’ll speak on that later...Uhhh...alot....

[AndyPH]

Not yet sworn in and the ONE is already making excuses...
How sad and disappointed his followers will be. He promised them free mortgages, free petrol, free health care and more.
Must be such a let down, having voted in such an incompetent fool. He can’t even talk without a prompter.
I am so enjoying seeing him having to sack people before they even start their jobs....lol.

He will be a failure, a black mark on American history.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Commies know just how to work the sheeple.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Damn Obama, you mean I gotta wait longer to get my free check for gas, mortgage, food, and ps3 games. Damn, just great, and here I was sitting getting all excited

[Bringbackthedraft]

“The real “burden” will be when the idiots who voted for him discover that he’s ... CLUELESS.” ............ Errrr, don’t think so, how can they, when they too are clueless?

[April Lexington]

For a guy who's never held a meaningful job or risked a penny of personal capital... he sure has some lofty ideas!

This guy is the biggest f*cking joke to ever be elected to the White House.

[TornadoAlley3]

obviously Obama is not qualified.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

He will be the most ridiculed president in U.S. history. Future generations will marvel at the idiocy of those who voted for this jackass.

2008 will be known throughout the ages as the year an affirmative action con man fooled an entire nation.

[Lizavetta]

So once again drunken-sailor-spending politicians spend us into the crapper and then later demand the non-spenders to suck it up and endure hardships to get us out of the financial misery.

[Colonial Warrior]

"So. What's in your wallet?"

[Lady GOP]

I think he is bracing people for a disasterous economic situation. Its happening everywhere and its not a partisan problem its becoming a global crisis.

[Lady GOP]

I just dont see how spending a trillion dollars and hiring 600,000 new Federal employess is a solution.
