IT'S INCREASINGLY EVIDENT THAT OBAMA SHOULD RESIGN
The State Journal-Register http://www.sj-r.com/opinions/x12460 932/Ted-Rall-It-s-increasingly-evident-that-Obama-should-resign May 29 2009
MIAMI -- We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama's inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through.
>From health care to torture to the economy to war, Obama has reneged on pledges real and implied. So timid and so owned is he that he trembles in fear of offending, of all things, the government of Turkey. Obama has officially reneged on his campaign promise to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. When a president doesn't have the nerve to annoy the Turks, why does he bother to show up for work in the morning?

I thought Mr. Rall was a member of the Socialist Workers Party.
There Ted the Red goes again - I’m beginning to think the left actually took all those promises as promises.
“I thought Mr. Rall was a member of the Socialist Workers Party.”
Seems like he’s attacking from the left.
Obama is cute. He is charming. But there is something rotten inside him. Unlike the Republicans who backed George W. Bush, I won't follow a terrible leader just because I voted for him. Obama has revealed himself. He is a monster, and he should remove himself from power.
“Obama is cute. He is charming.”
Really? He makes my flesh crawl.
No, Ted Rall calls on Obama to resign. Your headline is misleading. Furthermore, I’m pretty sure that even Ted Rall doesn’t mean it seriously. What, he thinks Joe Biden would be further to the left?
Hey, you remember the last eight years? Remember how frickin’ stupid the barking moonbats looked when they pounced on George W. Bush at ever opportunity over the most ridiculous pretexts? Yeah, they sure looked like boneheaded retards.
Don’t be like them, m’kay?
Anyone who was dumb enough to believe 0’s promises and vote for him deserves whatever misery they get from him, and he is going to deliver misery beyond anything recorded in American history.
“Unlike the Republicans who backed George W. Bush, I won’t follow a terrible leader just because I voted for him.”
Whenever a leftist says somebody is doing something “just because” of something, you know he’s lying.
Which is actually rather unnecessary, as leftists like all the time about everything.
Joe Biden is already a profound disaster, even to Obama! I have to completely disagree with you on Biden.
In practice, Obama wants to let government goons snatch you, me and anyone else they deem annoying off the street. Preventive detention is the classic defining characteristic of a military dictatorship. Because dictatorial regimes rely on fear rather than consensus, their priority is self-preservation rather than improving their people's lives. They worry obsessively over the one thing they can't control, what George Orwell called "thoughtcrime" -- contempt for rulers that might someday translate to direct action.
That's because you...like myself...did not partake of the Kool-Ade...that stuff will make you hallucinate.
True. But it is a good rant overall about the current occupant of the WH.
You ain’t the only one!
“This is the most alarming part - his vision of “Thought Police”
He’s said enough to convince me that he really plans to do it, if he can get away with it.
Unlike GWB...BO can not stand to be criticized. And he will take anyone down that does until someone stops him.
Yet, barely a squeak from those mice that roar.
