Obama is a mouth piece. that's it.

Obama can say all he wants and defend everything he does but it doesn't really mean anything until he keeps his word on his promises. The illuminati said he was going to be so many things which is why so many people voted for him but doing things like this and the people he is picking are not in line with what he has said. I want to see him keep his word. That's pretty important for a president i think.

Confidence is one thing, but it is amazing arrogance for Obama to say this: "Understand where the vision for change comes from first and foremost. It comes from me. That's my job, is to provide a vision in terms of where we are going and to make sure, then, that my team is implementing it." We didn't elect a dictator. We didn't elect a puppeteer. We elected someone to bring a team that will run the country effectively. If Obama really believes he can dictate every move to his advisers and cabinet, and that they will just blindly follow his direction, he is even more arrogant than I thought. Any leader MUST delegate authority. The people he will have to delegate to are almost entirely Clinton second termers, most of whom have immensely more experience than he does. There is no reason to believe they will roll over to Obama's every whim. Clinton's third term is coming. Obama is the one who is about to change.

Obama has turned the tax indentured economy over to Congress, the "multipolar" (dysfunctional multilateralist) world over to the HillBills, the environmental energy plan that doesn't produce energy (only cap and trade taxes) over to the beady eyed Waxman, and the continuity of Department of Defense over to Gates. This isn't change it is delegation of executive decision making. Just exactly what vision did he pass to the Clintonites? Even his chief of staff is noted for having his own agenda. Diversity of thought is good for change but bad for stability. Right now the country could really use stability over rhetoric.

Political correctness has always been a process of denying reality and affirming some version of a utopian leftist dogma. Now we have the new politically correct messiah, the new fuhrer. When his true believers become disillusioned after his failure to turn reality upside down, they will turn on him and on each other. Perhaps the Obama bubble will deflate before he is even inaugurated. The man is so incredibly arrogant. Consider the parts of the world in which this style of leadership gains traction. Now, add the USA.

Enough already. Too many former Clinton admin people returning to the White House!!!! Keep Hillary(and Bill) away from there.. maybe ask Condi Rice to stay on.

Same old, same old. Where's the change? Obama was only a politician in disguise. The greatest political trick in history crafted by a political Houdini and I hope he doesn't ruin this country.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
