Question: What did Obama say to make you believe that what was broke would be fixed by now?
   
Edited on Mon Jan-25-10 08:07 AM by uponit7771
I asked my cousin the other day this exact question and her answer basically boiled down to she thought Obama had everything he needed to make everything happen quickly because of the 60 votes in the senate.

I reminded her that LBJ had a 68% dem senate (88th congress) and FDR had an 83% (75th congress) dem senate and they still had to fight for health care and civil rights while Obama started out with a 57% dem senate with a good number who voted along DLC\GOP lines for the last 8 years and never stood in the way of Bush's agenda like the GOP is standing in the way of Obama's

...her perspectives changed when facts entered the equation...

I'm looking at the FACTS (www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/ ) to keep things in perspective and I'm still expecting that AT LEAST the country gets pointed in the right direction and that's happening IMHO...on the major issues I voted on (The wars, econ policies, HCR, energy,) there's has been notable progress under Obama. While I'm not totally happy he's earned the benefit of the doubt with me.

What did Obama say to make you believe that what was broke would be fixed by now?

Do you feel there has been progress on those fronts or have we gone more backwards than forwards?

TIA for a fact based discussion

Fact based discussion?  :lmao:

What I heard was that even when they had even more Dems in Congress, they still couldn't get their Marxist shizzit passed.

What a dumbass.

Who said it had to be verbally spoken?  Dear Leader ran on a platform that he was the messiah who could speak with terrorists and they'd cower in fear, talk to nations that hate us and make them love us, easily fix those little issues in Israel, that we could spend our way out of economic downturn by creating gov't jobs, etc...

Just because he might not have said it exactly word for word doesn't mean he didn't leave that impression.  And he did leave that impression, he did it on purpose, and he knew you idiots would eat it up and vote him in.  

Mission Accomplished!

How about this Borrax O'bama quote from January 2009:

How could that be misconstrued?

Actually, that was five days before the election.

And we've seen him attempt it at every chance he gets.

I have yet to see him fix anything. What he has done is rake the banks and the auto industry over the coals and then took them over. Hardly fixing anything in the meantime.

As I recall he was artfully vague about timelines, but he certainly never indicated there was any obstacle to accomplishing all the promised free unicornage, aside from the mere act of getting him into the White House.  Of course, possibly his whole plan was based on being right about the whole '8% unemployment, tops' thingie...

I believe in Obama. He's proven time and again that he's the best choice we could have made. There's not a person out there more qualified for the job. His entire life has been in training to carry out this job. It's been his life's work.


















Oh, FIX America? I thought it was that other F word.
