I have a friend with two small rental homes. Right after the election their black tennant called and told them the rent was too high and needed to be lowered. Landlord said, “no.” So the tennant said, “obama is going to help us now. If you don’t lower the rent, we’re moving. obama will help us find a place to live with lower rent.”

These people truly believe obama is going to personally take care of their day to day living expenses RIGHT AWAY!

When it doesn’t happen, on whom are they going to take out their anger and frustration? I’m very much afraid it’s going to be me. You just know obama is going to pass the buck and blame everyone but himself. Things could become very dangerous is cities with large populations of low income blacks who drank the kool-aid.

Most of my liberal friends thought they were gonna get gubmint health insurance in 1993, so theys could quit workin’ fer da man and start a career in “public service”. If Clinton had passed universal health care, we might have had 25 million “community organizers” in this country. (As it was we had a least one too many.)

It’s Hussein’s fault!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Damned right it is! He claimed that the instant he was sure of the nomination the oceans stopped rising and the planet started to heal and people could find jobs etc. Then he told the Denver crowd that he would defeat poverty, disease and climate change.
Want to know why expectations are high, messiah? Look in the mirror. This is going to be the most spectacular failure in the history of America BEFORE the inauguration!

I herewith repeat my prediction made before anything was settled in the primaries. Within two years or less (right now it looks like two months) those who swore we could not have a worse president will wish they had W. back. Of course they will never be adult enough to admit it.

I mean, he is His Holy Omnipotence and Most High Overlord of The Universe, isn’t he?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I don’t think he ever actually used those EXACT words but he did say that he would DEFEAT POVERTY, DISEASE AND CLIMATE CHANGE! That’s close enough.

yeah but..

I’m hoping as to when we can find out soon what it was we once were?

Cuz - once we were something. But now we’re not what we once were.
And I don’t know when we were something we aren’t now.

So - once we get back to being what we were, I want to know exactly what that is!!

Any word on that?
Should I temper my expectations on that too?

“You mean, the Messiah is a Liah”?
That seems a polite way of saying he is full of crap.
And yes i do think this assclown is a socialist front man and a liar.

I am a bit entertained at his ability to spew garbage as the world herald’s his Coming.

Surely you are not implying that American voters are so staggeringly stupid they elected this steaming pantload Obama because they believed the same exact lie about a “middle class tax cut” that Clinton told in 1992 to get elected? Does this mean that we can expect the biggest Democrat tax hike in history next year, just like what happened with Clinton in 1993?

Say it’s not so, ‘O’!
The Messiah can’t be a Liah!

No, we can't.

We actually aren't the people we've been waiting for, either. But Change, you're gonna get. In spades.

A detroit radio station called the Kenyan embassy after the election of Obama. After a lot of trouble they get through to the ambassador of Kenya.

The ambassador of Kenya says that obama was born in Kenya and that his birth place has become a national shrine.

Listen to the recording here

Be sure to download the recording as well. The chances of it remaining online for long are remote.

Unbelievable. A radio station can do this, but the DNC and Congress can't. Worthless, worthless, pathetic robots.

I'll go have a listen to the audio at that link. Thanks.
