I hope to GOD that no one actually believes a word he says! This man is so deceptive and against anything and everything America has stood for, no one should doubt where this country will be after 4 years of his Presidency. If we're unfortunate enough for him to be re-elected, this country will definitely fall into 3rd-world economic status. There's one thing that we can all count on, and that is God. I personally believe that Obama is either the antichrist or the false prophet. But despite what I think, whether he is or not, if you have God in your heart you will not be deceived. Nor will you be unhappy if in fact he is the beast or false prophet. Why? Because you will be able to witness what's been prophecied for over 3,500 years. If you believe and live for Christ now, you won't even have to suffer a moment of the Tribulation. Check out www.deadmenwalking.info/isobamatheantichrist.html for full details. The Bible says "Do not fear" over 360 times, so do not be afraid. Trust in Him.

After listening to the Narcissist in Chief the other day, I have come to these conclusions:
1. Our 'values' will keep us safer than a strong military and intelligence gathering.
2. Waterboarding is 'torture'. Getting beheaded is not.
3. Cheney is an blubbering fool. Biden is not. (where is Joe, anyway)
4. It's all Bush's (administration) fault. Don't ask any questions about or of the most 'transparent' administration in history.
5. Gitmo is a recruiting tool. Having thousands of troops in the Middle East is not.
Apparently, liberals really believe they are smarter than everyone else.

The lunatic who resides in the WhiteHouse is determined to have America attacked again. To publicly release classified CIA information is unbelievably stupid. Now the enemy knows that the U.S. is weak under this administration and are no doubt plotting an attack this very moment. He is the biggest danger to this country. Is it too far-fetched to believe he is actually the enemy?
patriot post
"Mr president: The enemy has declared the citizens enemies of the state and is slaughtering everyone in sight." "General Eisenhower: I think what is needed is a measured response". "Mr President: The enemy has surrounded the town and is using civilians as human shields." " General Patton: I feel we must not use disproportionate force." " Mr President: The enemy has captured 50,000 prisoners and is slowly starving them to death." "General Mac Arthur: I believe the perpetrators should be bound over for trial in US courts." "Mr President: The enemy is attacking commercial shipping in the North Atlantic." "Admiral Halsey: I think we need to take a delicately balanced approach."

Where does BO come off telling anyone in America how to fight a war; any kind of war? He was never in the military, he has had no family (except a made-up? uncle) who has fought in a war, he has never lived as a civilian who had to sacrifice or help in a war in any way. He did not even go to a military school. So how does he know anything at all about fighting a war? I am tired of hearing his "compassionate" (for the enemy) and socialist ideas of protecting our nation. He really does not even have any reson (except having been elected to have any regard for our well-being. How in the world did this happen/ A sudden surge of mass insanity? Must be.

Bush fought this war for 7 long years and BHO has been in office just over 100 days and he's telling the American people he knows better than W? What an arrogant idiot! Oh yes... this is change we can believe in...
dottie
Correct me if i'm wrong.--- Obama seems to be a puppet, but i'm not sure who's pulling the strings. Point_ HE can't speak without a teleprompter, if it fails so does he.He started takeing over NOV. 4th 2008.JAN. 20th2009 he seemed to be on T>V> almost constantly. Traveled all over the world DISSING the United States. He hasn't stopped. On top of that everything that goes wrong is someone elses fault. Tell me is he a puppet ,a fool,a want to be RULER or WHAT???/////
I Vote
The only delicate balancing going on here is in Oblahma's mind. "I," "I," "I," is all I heard -- he's The One going to save us. We've got a narcissist whose surrounded himself with "pull toys" (their heads go up and down when he pulls their strings), and he's going to save us? With this many dissenters about his domestic, foreign and national security policies, what's he going to say when the inevitable attack on us happens? "Oops, my bad"? Not good enough.
Judy
Fighting terror takes courage, the will to stand behind the American people and the will to stand up to those who criticize us. Thank you to all those who serve in our military and thank you Pres. Bush and Vice Pres. Cheney for doing what you had to to keep us safe.

Why is anyone surprised by the blame game coming from the left. That's pretty much all they did during the Bush years. Blame the Supreme Court, Blame Bush for 9/11, Blame bush for Iraq, Blame bush for Abu Graib, .....
As the Bible says' You'll reap what you sow.
Guess they don't like the crop they planted. ehhh!
joe38369
I did not agree with a bunch of things that went wrong in the Bush administration, but I will give credit where credit is due. We have been safe since the 9/11. Many foiled terror plots that were stopped on the Bush watch. So I think President Obama needs to quite the blame game. I am sure there will be many mistakes in the Obama administration also. Pointing fingers just does not look good. To me it shows that you cannot win people over on your own merrits, so you have to blame someone else so that you look good. It makes someone look insecure. President Obama, quit blaming and move forward.

OBAMA, BUSH, CHENEY, PELOSI, TOTALLY ANNOYING AND CROOKED IN THEIR OWN WAY.

What does Obama know about fighting terror? Nothing, nothing, nothing, and more nothing!! Obama is a word man, pretty words without substance. Unless, it means using the taxpayers charge card---Wow, he's good at that!
John
This president has so much experience in handling wars. After all he was a neighborhood organizer. What an idiot. But he is not at the top of the pile. The sheet that follow him are even more idiotic.
Roger
John
Hey, he's experienced, you know, community organizer, when street fights in the "hood" happened he did the refereeing. That makes him experienced in war, right?
mav
"Protecting people and spending money more wisely"? Are u kidding me? We've passed the "delicate balance" stage and are now entering into "toppling over into the abyss" with this idiotic administration.
Ginny
You are 100% on target! He isn't fooling all the people, thank God.
polly
Terror suspects caught in NY on the day of Obama's speech. Why didn't he mention a word about it? Why? because it makes him look like a fool.
oldsailor01
Obama is an abomination and at best a one term loser President with a small footnote in History of USA. This clown may be worse than Carter and a hell of a lot more dangerous!!
Robert J.
Obama reminds me of that empty-minded orator of the late Roman Republic, Cicero. Full of wind, elaborate hand gestures and over-used facial expressions. But behind it all, like Cicero, Obama is nothing but a bag of air that spends his time inflating his ego and depressing the government. In the end Cicero was eliminated by the very instrument that he helped to create. An expendable nail in the coffin of his country. History... surprising how it repeats itself.
Walt Sneddon
This guy is exactly what he has been groomed to be under the tutelage of Ayers, Farrakhan, Wright, and others. His true purpose; deceive the American public by a "change" rhetoric that morphs into what ever is politically expedient. He has been tremendously successful at persuading the far left wing of the Democratic Party, into believing that he is simply liberal like them. With this support and the very negative feelings with respect to the Bush administration, a large faction of voters, has had the wool pulled over their eyes. Fact is he is a radical with a secret agenda that is bent on the destruction of virtually all the values most Americans hold very dear. The destruction he will level on our democracy will be greater then ten thousand of Mr. Ayer’s bombs, wreak more havoc that ten million of Mr. Farrakhan’s militant Black Muslims, and loose a demonic force greater than even Mr. Wright might imagine.
mzlilydale
Very well said! The only thing I can add, is heaven help us all!
Rick Johnson
As my father says, this man wouldn't know sh** from shinola!
Walt Sneddon
When Obama talks of inheriting the problems facing his presidency, what doe’s he think GW had to deal with after 911? That attack was the direct result of the inaction of the Clinton Administration. However, I can remember no time that GW cried about what had been thrown at him. His entire presidency was overshadowed by that single event. This Obama AH, is a cry baby, and no kind of leader. What a wimp.
Midwest Patriot
Well said Walt! Bam is a former community organizer who hung around with Ayers and listened (shhhh, but not really) to Rev. Wright for 18 years. He has been pushed by some very bad people into the highest office of the land. He doesn't have half the courage Bush did during his tenure. And by the way, he only promotes himself as a military supporter--Bush made his many, many visits without fanfare.
SHUT UP DEMS
OBAMA YOUR IN THEO OVAL OFFICE TIME TO QUIT PUTTING THE BALAME ON BUSH WHEN YOU CAN'T DO YOUR JOB. BUT JUST LIKE ADEM ALL TALK AND NO ACTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
john49431
for someone who spent 2 years on the campaign trail telling everyone how bush was wrong and how he was going to revise "bush policy" i am amazed how little he has done since he has become "community activist in chief"....his administration is riddled with those who want to play "thug" politics...grab power...and spend like drunken fools....the US gdp was approximately $14.4 trillion in 2008...since assuming the presidency this administration has spent, lent, or committed $12.8 trillion to stem this recession....this is not leadership, it's folly...what is the solution to ss, education, medicare, that he is offering...MORE spending! bush made mistakes while in office...any reasonable person will concede that , but we as a nation cannot afford obama's policies and his disregard for those who generate the taxbase that he wants to spend...spend...spend...
Walt Sneddon
Obama represents a culture of extreme left wing liberals, with an agenda to reshape the American way of life. He has adopted a Niccolò Machiavelli."The Prince" attitude, justifying any means to achieve the end he desires. His represented positions, with respect to several critical issues, are not consistent with his historical stances, actions, or associations. He is a deceiver of the first class, with a golden mouth with which to fool the people, spewing out what ever will tickle their ears. This man is no patriot, he’s not even un-American, he’s anti-American.
Tom
You are totally right. The only thing Obama is good for is reading what someone else has wriiten for him to say. Obama is totally clueless.
Canam
When the Boss (the people-Congress) votes 90 nay vs 5 yea, the employee (obama) had better heed their wishes. If he does not, that means the President has become tyrannical. When that happens, law and order eventually break down and rebellion ensues. DOES THIS PSYCHOTIC PRESIDENT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING OR DOES HE JUST NOT CARE SINCE HE HAS THE BACKING OF SOROS AND THE LIKE?
mzlilydale
Is he ever going to quit campaigning, and lead this country? It appears to me that he can only complain and blame instead of handling the business at hand. All the dems have been able to do is spend our money and blame the previous administration, instead of governing and leading our country. This is CHANGE, alright, change to socialism, that will destroy this country. I find it funny, he has a news conference everyday, he is only plotting to gain more and more control and power, and the folks at MSNBC and NBC are backing him all the way. How about spreading some of their wealth, now that would be Change, we all could believe in!
OldPro
Buried in that speech is a statement regarding the creation of a new legal regime to comat terroists. I believe that includes preventive arrests of people who the government has determined pose a viable threat but have not yet committed any crimes.
Who will make that determination? The Office of Homeland Security?
ROFLMAO
One thing I have picked up on while listening to Obama speak and not one media source has mentioned.
"We have to live by the rule of our laws". Well Obama and his friends have spent the last 4 months CHANGEING LAWS! SO WHICH LAWS ARE WE TO GO BY? YESTERDAYS OR TODAYS? wHAT ABOUT TOMORROWS?

ROFLMAO
I am waiting for Obama to stop his campaign tour and get this country back on track. Everyday he is "speaking" somewhere. Does he ever put in a days work at the office?
Lenny
He can't even vote "present"
taxed2debt
He doesn't get into the office until 9:00-9:30! He lives in the White House and his office is down the hall! He's not interested in 'running the country', he's only interested in being President.
MARNIE
are you kidding ! he's campaigner -in -chief / or to busy
community organizing us & the W O R L D ! LOL !
WillyD
This is not news. He has been blaming bush for 8 years. In fact his campaign began after the Global Warming scam artist Al Gore cried about hanging chads. What would be news is if BO took any kind of responsibility. Whaich goes against his liberal instincts.
stoptheinsanity
he had NO solutions just more finger pointing, bush blaming, not so pretty words this time and it will backfire on the use the salinsky mentality blame and attack
stoptheinsanity
as the dems keep saying 'we won' deal obama and stop the blame game, pelosi, dodd, etc etc, when you mess up or don't know what to do YOU blame bush, Enough already! Deal
you are right
hear hear..., when obama blames bush, he sounds so childlish, im just an old redneck, but let me use the analogy, of a card game, are family plays called ROOK, each hand point value is 180, so when the opponant, bids lets say, 160 points, we say, YOU BOUGHT THAT COW. so when obama, say, i inherited these problems, i say, mr obama, at 360 million dollars , that was spent, on the election, i say, NO SIR, YOU BOUGHT THAT COW....
Charles Atlanta
The community organizer is eminently qualified to speak on the subject he knows little about. Nothing that is happening to this once great country surprises me anymore. I do wonder what is next, with little or no thought to how his administration is going to handle his ill advised but nice photo opt for all his liberal supporters in closing Getmo.
ncgirl
Could someone please tell this President it is time to end this blame game.... He,,, as he loves to tell us, is Commander in Chief now. Maybe you should stop whining about what was handed to you and just get on with the job of leading this country. Every new President has to deal with left overs ,,,guess no one told you that.
PJ
obama is such a stupid liar - if he does not want gitmo then send them too the closed France's Devil Island - Nancy needs to resign from her post, biden needs the promter writen by obama - at least they could keep there lies straight!!!
