Barack Obama vs. the Rock Obama [Obama voter is very upset with Obama's broken promises]
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | December 18, 2009 | Tony Norman

Posted on 12/24/2009 7:26:03 AM PST by grundle

From its economic policies to Afghanistan to the health care debacle in the Senate, the administration is determined to be the opposite of what many of us believed we were voting for.

I thought when I voted for Barack Obama that he would be a president who would be willing to get his hands dirty and that we would always know where he stood.

He used to speak like someone who had a vision for the country. Now he hedges and parses his words like a lawyer for an insurance firm.

What happened to the man who showed up on the campaign trail with specific promises about how he'd represent the interests of the American people after eight years of incompetence, stupidity and war?

What happened to all those promises of transparency?

Where did the skepticism about Bush-era war policies go?

Each day brings new headlines about the Obama administration siding with its predecessor on civil liberties or our right to know embarrassing things that were done in our name.

Yeah, like this matters NOW.

Too bad this sap never learned how to pay attention and apply reasoning skills. Sheesh.

He started out as Ba-Rock Star 0bama. Now he has been exposed as Milli-Vanilli - lip syncing to a teleprompter.

As a Democrat associate of mine put it....we now have Bush version 2.0...which is a weaker and watered down version of Bush version 1.0. The speeches don’t work anymore...the future vision is out of focus...and the promises are mostly all fictional in nature. I think the 2010 election period will be a heavy dose of reality where lots of people start to think “Carter-80”.

What is this guy smoking? He thinks Zero is capitulating to the Republicans when, in truth, the Republicans have had NO SEAT AT ZERO’S TABLE! This entire Administration is doing exactly what they want yet, through the magic of Big Media, are STILL able to blame GWB for everything. What a bunch f whiners. They NEVER take responsibility for ANYTHING they do. Sorry, I’m shaking now. Must go and calm down.

He wants a civilian security force just as strong or stronger than our military. That should have told you a
little something about mr. hitler obama.

I hope your right! I hope we HAVE a CHANCE to vote in 2010 without corruption of ACORN and OBAMANATION fully corrupting the system... 11 months can do a LOT of damage to our freedom of the VOTE!

Not if ACORN, which recently was found ethically OK by the Dems, has anything to say about it. They will create votes wherever needed. Like for Franken. The Dems know they can cheat their way to keeping the majority after ACORN registers all the illegals and the Dems at the polling places allow them to vote twice.

He loses credibility by again repeating the tired old rant that “birthers” or “teabaggers” are crazier than Obama.

I saw one on a pickup truck the other day that said something like “I’ll keep my freedoms, guns and my money. You can keep the ‘Change’”.

Unfortunately, these people just don't get it. Yeah, Obama is continuing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and leaving Gitmo open for now. But that is where the similarities end.

They whine and cry about continuing with CERTAIN Bush policies, but REFUSE to see the BIG PICTURE, that he is taking this nation 180 degrees from where its ever been. He's NOT taking us BACK to a better time, a golden era. He is DESTROYING everything this nation EVER stood for. And these people are his enablers. They are guilty.

Obama said during his campaign what he intended to do to this country, all people had to do was listen. Instead they chose selective hearing, and to envision this guy to be what they thought they wanted.

Well, you have your wish, Putz.

This guy has the dirtiest hands of anyone who ever occupied the office.

He don’t need a “civilian security force”, he’s got the US Military. He could turn the military against it’s own citizens with the snap of his finger. Some people belive that’s crazy talk, but we’re dealing with single-minded evil in Washington.

I know what you mean. It takes all the strength I can muster not to smack every Obamapod I meet upside the head.

Blame the stoopid librat medias which hyped obaMAO as one of these empty Holywoodian “stars” and the stoopid people who are endlessly dreaming to be a “star” for one day in their empty lives.

They’d better put their hope in the Gospel and/or try to improve themselves and be FREE
