Has obama told the truth about anything Not signing bills with earmarks, not adding to the deficit, not a fan of big government, closing gitmo by the end of the year, claiming he is a centrist, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot that he has told the truth about.His 44% approval rating one year into his presidency isn't an accident.He earned it. However, barak obama did tell the truth when he said he was going to fundamentally change america.Please note that he didn't say he was going to change it for the better and i believe he has kept his word on that single instance. I think this poor guy is confused.He won the campaign, not by a landslide but with the media propping him up substantially.He believed his own speeches, believed he could change the world!But reality has slapped him in the face.He forgot this is america, the land of the free, fought born for freedom.He wasn't taught that in school and didn't learn that from his buddies, never fought in the military or lost someone close that did.He believes his speeches to himself because there is nothing else he believes in, he is now delusional and highly dependent on pelosi reid as he has no substance of his own. Are you guys kidding me.I know obama has fallen way short of what he promised and i have to admit it does bother me.However a lot of the things you listed that he failed to do is a direct result of the republican party blocking his attempts. He wanted to close gitmo but then someone made such a stink that"Oh no we can't bring the terrorists here! "And then the stupid american public somehow started to believe it.If it wasn't so sad it would be funny.Really all the sides should be happy about bringing them here.Just think about the hard time these gitmo guys would have out in the yard with some of our worst criminals who despite their incarceration i believe still have a love for their"Home turf"So to speak.Plus lets face it none of them would be getting out so what is the harm. That really depends on the pole you are looking at.You can't tell me we have a system that is working right now.Costs are still skyrocketing, millions are still uninsured.The proposed bill might have become a sham but it doesn't mean that we no longer need to address the problem.Open your eyes. Overall, if you read the books obama wrote and you really listen to what he has to say and not just listen to talking points by either party, then i think you will realize that obama really has his head and heart in the right place. No, i did not say the same about bush.While there were a lot of things i did not like about bush, he did not lie to the american people to anywhere near the extent obama has. It amazes me how many times this is brought up and http://www.bencrawford.co.uk/ completely misunderstood, the whole"Bush lied us into war".That, in itself, is a lie.There was bad intelligence, no pun intended.Even clinton said during his presidency that saddam had wmds or was close to having them.The whole"Bush lied"In regards to the iraq war is simply a misinformed statement. The bush presidency is over.We have obama now.For anyone who wants to believe that"Bush lied"And that bothered you, than to be consistent, you have to be even more disturbed by obama's pathological lying. Could you please clarify how it is possible for the republican party to block obama's agenda when the democrats have a fillibuster proof majority in the senate, a majority in the house, and control of the white house?The democrats can pass anything that is politically viable any time they want to.It isn't the republican's that are obstructing obama, it is the will of the american people.Some democrats are not too keen on committing political suicide by such foolish acts as voting on a seriously flawed health care bill when roughly 60% of americans don't want the reforms. Yes, the american system works very well.The survival rates for all types of cancer, except for pancreatic cancer, are about 20% higher in the united states then in canada and europe.That is even with 40 million uninsured americans.The same is true with heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes.Free health care isn't worth a damn if you are dead.Please note that the health care bill, in both the house and senate will still leave millions of uninsured and will cause health care costs to rise.Dreaming up a reform bill that will exacerbate the problems that the bill was supposed to fix is lunacy.No wonder the http://faceonline2013.blogspot.com/ american public hates it. No, i did not say the same about bush.While there were a lot of things i did not like about bush, he did not lie to the american people to anywhere near the extent obama has.

The guy is trying to clean up a mess, healthcare has been ignored in this country after every election.People wanted healthcare reform when bush came into office and he made promises only to then launch into war with foreign countries and and spend billions abroad.We never seem to have money for healthcare or schools, but always have money for needless wars, where we spend money like its going out of style and most of it ends up missing and not being spent on the items needed by troops. I am suspicious of the reasons why some people bag on obama, and i cant help but feel its because he happens to be black, and his middle name is hussein!Get over it!Havent heard the guy lie, hes trying to work with the tools hes been given and keeps getting stone walled. |
