I have to get it off my chest. I hold independents totally responsible for the debacle this country is in at the moment. They exercised their vote with the "hope of change" that was painfully obvious would never occur. They gave their vote away without doing their due diligence on the background facts of an unqualified person who in all rights wasn't fit to be a U.S. Senator,, much less POTUS.

This countrie's freedoms & actual democratic process stands in jeopardy because independents,, like Obama,, couldn't make a stand in absolute proper judgment before them.

It is fact that Obama has done nothing to change those policies which Bush put in place to protect this nation. It is fact that Obama hesitates at a critical time in history making pragmatic choices bolstering the military & American business solely based on not wanting to look as though he's following Bush's doctrine. Tax cuts,, the "surge mentality" the military awaits from it's commander in chief (cough). Iran's negligence to international treaties & Bush's call on the evil that lies within. Bush was right but the liberals are squirming in refusal to follow any hint of those policies knowing the embarrassing fallout awaiting them. They'd rather lie to the nation than to admit the failure of their poliicies.

Sarkozy's recognition of Obama being "naive & egotistical",, Gore Vidal blasting Obama as "dreadful",, Ed Rendell saying in sheepish tones "he wouldn't have made the trip to Copenhagen" in light of domestic & international affairs here & abroad. Painful cabinet faces standing behind Obama in the Rose Garden upon every repeated rhetorical announcement given by this pompous ass on a daily basis. Noone believes in this guy but as I've said before,, "will the country fall in ruins because of fear to oppose him"?

Yes,, I hold independents responsible for getting caught up in the euphoria & hyperbole surrounding the obvious misgivings of a man (?) of whose credentials on economic issues,, foreign issues & military issues offered absolutely little or no value to the crisis that was unwinding before us. The choice was of panic & blind faith in lieu of any shred of experience in handling the problems of the day.

There's no way of knowing at this point what McCain would have done but I can say with certainty the country wouldn't be hunkered down in a defensive posture holding it's breath waiting on the next diabolical shoe to drop.

Just think about the top 3 stooges in line to lead this country,, Obama,, Biden & Pelosi. If that doesn't send chills down your spine,, nothing will.

I hope independents get it right this time. I hope anyone opposing this excuse of a leader America voted in will give us a viable option that leaves little to consider. Concise leadership is dead at top levels,, someone needs to take the reins & cast their political future to the wind proposing what's actually right for the nation again......

dude, are you possibly a member of a white supremist group,wow youre the guys that are going to shoot him arent you? you are repellent.

PALIN IS AWESOME IF THE MEDIA WAS DOING THEIR REAL JOB(NOT BEING LIBERAL HIT MEN)EVERYONE WOULD KNOW WHO OUR PRESIDENT REALLY IS.INSTEAD WE HAVE THIS HOLIER THAN THOU FRESHMAN RUNNING THE SHOW.WAKE UP AMERICA FOLLOW THE MONEY 700 BILLION TO BUY THE PRESIDENCY WHERE IS THE STIMULUS GOING?

Palin has a strong following among the pathetically stupid, people who don't seem to realize that a woman who doesn't read, doesn't follow current affairs, doesn't understand or read the history of this country would make a lousy president. Her husband and other children raise her children, not Sarah Palin, who refers to her Down Syndrome son as "the retarded baby". Somebody should tell her it isn't about birthing, it's about putting yourself aside to give what should be a beloved child the best possible potential and outcome. This is the same insensitive clod who said she could "be a voice for the disabled" if elected vice president. Geez! What a blow that would have been to the brilliant researchers and disability advocates who have studied and fought for dignity for the millions of disabled children and adults in this country. I prefer a smart, progressive, sensitive Whitehouse, not this ignorant bully and proverbial 'bull in a china shop'.

This is my First Year in This world of Politics.I Never Paid Much Attention Before the 2008 Elections.When Barrack Won The Democrat Nomination I Was Proud And Pleased With The Progress This Country Was Making.I Listened To All His Prime-Time Speeches With my Wife And Was Genuinely Excited About the Prospect of Change in Washington.Alas.. I was Dismayed to When the "investigative journalsts" didnt seem to be intrested with any of the questions that were arising about Barrack and his associations with Bill Aires Rezco And the rest.It seemed to me (Normal American) that these were real concerns that needed to be adressed.We Are Talking About the Presadency, The Number 1 Job In all the world.It was At this Point that I lost Confidence it this man, Belive it or not. The more i learned About Bristol Palin, The more I wondered Who Was Really Running For President,And Why the same Effort wasent being Put Forth To Discover Questions about Issues that were Directly Related to one of the Actual Nominees, >>Oboma.

OBAMA STILL LIES - REALLY? Sure there have been some less than savory political happenings in Chicago, but just because thats considered Obamas home state and he was a state and later US senator there, does not directly implicate him in all or even some of it. Check your facts, Obama never worked for ACORN.
You state Obama is "leaving our fighting men in dire need of help" but don't explain how. Republicans complain about Obamas bailout plan, blind to the fact the real bailout was the one Bush gave to the Taliban, Al Quaeda, and Bin Laden by focusing the war on Iraq instead of Afghanistan. Now after we wasted time, money, and the lives you talk about in Iraq, we still haven't "accomplished the mission" (in Bush words) of apprehending Bin Laden, who had little if anything to do with Iraq! Now that more of the public and congress is realizing Bush ushered in the bad economic times we are in now and spent money trying to make another country "better" instead of trying to fix our own, they want to stop sending troops and money overseas! Theres a bad case of backwards thinking. Obama wants to send more troops and money to Afghanistan only to SOLVE the problem Bush created and never finished! He is supporting our troops by trying to put them in the right place, Afghanistan not Iraq, to finish the job so they can come home. I think that qualifies as support but apparently you want him to put on armor and get out on the frontlines.
You are mad at Obama because he can actually read and speak in public without sounding like an unitelligent hick? Bush couldn't even read right when speech writers tried to make him sound intelligent. "Naive and narcissistic" is Obama? I think Republicans are naive and narcissistic because they believe every word of the fear mongering, hateful, negative rhetoric the party shoves down their throat without thinking twice. Fear is the crutch of ignorance. Of course my opposition of Iraq must mean im "unpatriotic"...Here's an epiphany for the many Republicans who believe the world is out to get us - after seeing the debacle in Iraq, more of the world probably IS out to get us. We manifest our own destiny.
I suppose Obama also isn't supporting our troops by going on "vacations" like Denmark to try and bring the Olympics and in turn an economic boost to the US. By the way, he also went to Geneva to discuss nuclear issues with Iran. What an amazing vacation...You can check independant non partisan and even Bush administration sources - the man was out of office over 1000 days of his 2 terms, 3 YEARS, the MOST of any president in HISTORY.

RIO won the Olympics, now you can complain about Brazil's President not supporting his country and taking vacations because he went to Copenhagen just like Obama did.

jrotced02; You see fit to criticise a woman who has gotten ahead in life,
yes she has been a Mayor and a Governor, and now she has written a book that is on two best seller lists,and the book hasn't been released yet and you have the gall to say she is a failure. So lets hear from you jrotced about how far you have come in life besides being a bona fide malcontent. How far have you walked in her shoes to know what she thinks
or why she left positions in life that were very productive.
Your claim to fame is posting nonsense that you probably copied from your
favorite leftist web-sites. You have reached your highest station in life,
and that is the fact that you are one parasitic homo-sapien.
