ØBAMA BLAMES 'DEMOCRACY' FOR HIS FAILURES
Fox News ^ | 8/4/2011

Posted on 08/04/2011 1:18:48 PM PDT by curth

"It's been a long, tough journey. But we have made some incredible strides together. Yes, we have. But the thing that we all ought to remember is that as much as good as we have done, precisely because the challenges were so daunting, precisely because we we were inheriting so many challenges, that we're not even halfway there yet. When I said 'change we can believe in' I didn't say 'change we can believe in tomorrow.' Not change we can believe in next week. We knew this was going to take time because we've got this big, messy, tough democracy," President Obama said at a campaign fundraiser in Chicago on Wednesday night.

The people who voted for this clown should be greatly ashamed of themselves for what they’ve done to this once great nation.

“big, messy, tough democracy” Just the way we like it Obama but better than that we are a “Republic”, not something you like. We’ll prove it fairly soon.

The faithful will not give him up. He’s like the Lemming King. I chose that name because the democrat dirty tricks squad loves the imagery of things going off a cliff.

baraq claims that democracy is the reason for his failures?

Sounds like he is trying to soothe his base that he hasn’t wrecked the US sooner.

I’ve always thought it curious that the “Constitutional scholar” doesn’t understand that we’re a Republic.

I have truly run out of things I can post on message boards without getting banned. I have become so furious about how quickly this country is circling the drain, only cuss words come to mind anymore, and I generally am not a cussing woman. So I guess I will post the genteel, southern style of cussword that I have learned while down here—
Bless his heart.

The thing is- they’re not ashamed. They’re always harping about more freebies. Some jacka$$ recently stated that the poor have a “right” to a cell phone, even though te rest of us pay for that BS.

Somebody give Dumbo a mirror so he can see who the real failure is.

Reading between the lines, just like all the liberal elite he wishes he had efficient dictatorial powers like the ChiComs.

Saying “I told you so...” to liberals feels as good as it did for the first mate of the Titanic who told the captian he should go around the ice berg.

President Obama needs to resign now and flee to a country where the US has no extradition treaty. It’s his only chance....
