		<description><![CDATA[Harry Truman liked to recall a local politician in Independence, Mo. when he was a kid.  He liked to say, &quot;Damn eyewitnesses anyway, they always ruin a good story.&quot;

Today there are millions of eyewitnesses and Mr. Obama is quite discomfited by that fact.  He&#039;s quickly becoming a joke, albeit a not-funny one.  As Woody points out in some examples, Obama is either going totally off the map, or can no longer disguise an agenda that is totally at odds with his campaign.  And remember, he spent YEARS telling Americans what he wanted to do.

No one expects a politician to accomplish all their promises.  They do, though, expect them to TRY.  Obama is off the charts on this one.  For many of those who voted for him, he keeps getting the ball and running backwards into his own endzone, if not outright handing the ball to the opposing defense.

Some people can look ahead...years ahead...to gain an historical perspective on the present.  Though difficult it can be done, and IS being done by a number of people.  Obama seems stuck on &quot;his&quot; narrative, rather than leading a nation.  The nation apparently is stuck with having to lead its own leader.  And that is simply not possible.  

History will not be kind to Mr. Obama, nor to his advisors or anyone in Washington.  That is, of course, assuming there will BE a history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think for many of his supporters this last flip-flop was simply the straw that broke the camel&#039;s back.

He was going to close Guantanamo.  It&#039;s still open, indefinitely.
He was going to end the war in the Middle East.  He&#039;s expanded it. There is no end in sight, ever.  We&#039;ve now been in Afghanistan longer than the Soviet Union was.  It bankrupted them.  It&#039;s doing the same to us.  The terrorists have won.
He was going to have accountability and transparency.  No one is accountable. They hide behind national defense for everything from TARP loans to global warming.
He was going to hold banks accountable.  Banks are still gambling on the Wall Street casino and handing out billions in bonuses while screwing local and state governments.  The Federal Reserve is bailing out banks all around the world with your kids tax money.  No one has been charged with the fraud that is this mortgage debacle.
He was going to have a clean administration with no lobbyists, then he kept on Junior&#039;s appointees and brought back Clinton&#039;s cabinet.
He was going to restore our rights and our Constitution, then he took more rights away and started assassinating people.
He was going to make health care affordable, then he made insurance mandatory and rates still increased.
Finally, he was going to tax those families making more than $250,000 per year to help lower the deficit, then he didn&#039;t instead calling for increased taxes on gas, removing the home mortgage interest credit, taxing employee health care benefits as income, lowered payments from Social Security, and reduced Medicare.
Now people are upset, and rightly so. Eight waffles on major platform points will have that effect.  It&#039;s obvious the man cannot be trusted and his word is as worthless as our Federal Reserve Notes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are liberals racsits now? Making jokes about Obama? That was a crime punishable by death - or at least threats of banishment from the forums - just a couple of short years ago.

Makes me wonder how One can fall from grace so quickly. Oh, that&#039;s right - it&#039;s American politics, circa 2010.

To his credit, Obama at least seems able to read the writing on the wall. Not so for his rabid followers, sans the rose-colored glasses of socialistic dementia.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bottomline to this post WWII ever-evolving plot is to establish a dynasty of MIC friendly pols.  The Bush family represents the &quot;sine qua non&quot; of shadowy usurpers who&#039;ve wormed their way to the top or our nation&#039;s intel functions, then morphed them into a successful  RICO enterprise following their &quot;Skull and Bones&quot; directives.   

The Clinton&#039;s and Obama&#039;s are nothing but holding presidencies between evermore draconian one&#039;s offered by the &quot;rethugs&quot;.  The result is an endless succession of NWO, &quot;thousand points of light&quot;, globalist friendly usurpers in the White House that will enable the shadowy oligarchs&#039; skewed schemes for ultimate planetary control of all resources and serfs.  We&#039;re witnessing corporate feudalism on the rise.  :  &#124;

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Democrats? They wonder just how in the hell this guy got in the door.&quot; ...extract from article

I&#039;ll give them an answer.  Barack Obama is a synthesized presidential &#039;plant&#039;, a product of the CIA and a shill for the flagship party of the wealthy; ie., the Republicans.  He&#039;s now receiving kudos from Republicans because he&#039;s acting more like them.  He&#039;s their political &quot;Manchurian Candidate&quot; little realizing he&#039;s a creation of Bush &amp; Co&#039;s totally controlled CIA.   Barack is simply a &#039;holding&#039; president between &quot;rethug&quot; presidential  incumbencies.  His personal records indicate involvement with the CIA.  He&#039;s a &quot;company man&quot; to the core and his handlers are well pleased with his development and success concerning the op.
