No excuses.

Here’s my list of demands:

Rainbow Pie,
Bubble Stew,
Unicorn rides,
free castles for everyone.

Get to it. It’s what you ran on.

Yep, their guy could walk on water.

0bama supporters saw this turd float to the top of the cesspool and proclaimed that it was walking on water.

I only expect them to fall flat on their face. Pelosi will need rehab.

Actually, I think my own expectations will become reality. I doubt they’ll disappoint me. Bush, on the other hand....

Darn near half of the voting public recognized that the One was incapable of leadership. Sounds like Biden is finally coming back around to his early campaign position, too.

Of course, many of us are not yet convinced that Obama is constitutionally qualified for the office, anyway...

Nope, no way pal. You ran on fixing the world, you gotta do it. No excuses, hop to it.

I agree.

Can you think of any reason Hillary! would not have released any disqualifying information during the primaries? Do you doubt that she knows every gene on his chromosomes? Whatever's on that BC, it's embarrassing, but not disqualifying. He can't release it now because he already released that clumsy forgery.

Obama promised everything to everyone during his year and half long campaign. There’s no weaseling out of this one.

“I have been contacted by so many world leaders. Their expectation for Barack’s presidency is overwhelming,” Biden said. “They are so hungry to have an American leader who they think has a policy that reflects our stated values as well as one they can talk to.”

I would love to see Joe Biden's call logs to see how many "World Leaders" he has been in contact with. I would bet that phone is not exactly ringing off the hook.

“Obama ran as Superman, but now he’s saying he’s just Clark Kent.” No, no, no, Mr. President-elect. You promised the sea levels would fall, the world would love us, and an end to war. We’ll hold you to your word. ~ Rush - More here: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/today.guest.html

What are you saying? Do you mean he can’t actually defeat poverty, disease and climate change? This is awful!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If recent reports are correct this may be the only thing he winds up APPEARING to have accomplished! The Antarctic ice mass is growing and since it is supported on land this could actually lower sea levels. Can you imagine the absurdity of Obama claiming to have defeated global warming?
