All I see from you 2 in this post is condescension, and no real contribution.
If that is all you can supply and cannot add dialog to the thread....please....GTFO

Irony here. I was someone who was doing quite well under the "massive capitalistic" machine that you describe.
It's the encroachment of government that disturbs me.

Thank you.
I try to speak from the heart, and while I practice diplomacy, using effective words is something I know.
Hence the topic of this thread, inaction by verbal sword fighting, which Obama is good at.
He gives good speeches, but to me, they are hollow lacking any real substance.

I agree.
Great oratory skills is not enough though.
My thoughts wander to whether Obama will take the same actions.
With some of the things happening in the world as it today, it seems to be edging loser to the guillotine each and every day for our nation, and this is a cause for great distress.
For those people who wanted Guantanamo closed, their wish may happen, but they should have instead asked that the manner in which people are claimed as "terrorists" by our Government was changed, not the closure of one facility.
In the wise words of the past, be careful what you wish for, it may come true.

What is so funny, in a sad ironic state of the word funny, is Obama thinks we need or care about a piece of crap Healthcare Reform bill when what we really need is for the economy to be kicked in the keister and jobs to start opening up again because without jobs there will be no need for “Healthcare Reform” because we as citizen will not give a damn being unable to afford even rudimentary health costs without work in which to pay for our gas to drive to the doctor, let alone be able to afford hospital bills.
[snip] but then again you do not give a damn about America really, do you President Obama?
This is all I am seeing and hearing coming from you with false promises of the future, hope, and change, but what we have not seen is our future, hope, nor change, except from one idiot to one man who sold us a lie to get into the White House and do absolutely nothing to change America except screw us even worse than that idiot who has a residence in Crawford Texas because you, Mr. Obama, have failed us as a country.
Be careful President Obama because you are slowly climbing a slippery slope and no one will bail you out or pick you up when you fall because American’s are watching you and they do not like what they are continually seeing, a lack of backbone, a lack of commitment, and a lack of authority.
That is not me speaking, only typing what I hear from each and every American I come into contact with
If you think this is just another Obama trashing thread you will be sadly mistaken because it is not, as you can see from the above thread I was railing against his idiot predecessor, George W Bush as well as the Congressional thieves who allot our money wherever they want without using fair discretion nor forethought of how the American public will see it as time wears on, speaking of course of the trillions of deficit we are now in because of a completely uncalled for war where the United Nations Security Council tried many times unsuccessfully to stymie Saddam Hussein, not because of his intelligence, but because of his refusing to be sanctioned by the United Nations due to alliances with Russia, France, and China and their seeming total corruption in walking Hussein through the Oil for Food scam in order to give himself many billions and screw his Iraqi people which is more and more seeming to mirror what we are now seeing here in America with the Bailout Package which we are supposed to believe is beneficial to our country through giving banks more money to loan to citizens who are already having their mortgages foreclosed on, vehicles repossessed, and still others kicked out onto the streets because of a lack of ability to pay our bills because of the lack of a job market.

I have a feeling we have reached an accord.
Speed is not necessarily a good thing.
I was offered the fast road to power, and I declined it.
I am not asking for the impossible of Obama, just quit sugar-coating crap.
Sugar-coated crap, is still crap, just like polishing a turd, is still a turd.
My first actions would have been far different from Mr. Obama.
Cheney would have been sent to Guantanamo, Bush would have been slapped upside the head for listening to that devious bastard, and I would have told the Iraqi's they had less than a year to get their act in gear, because troops would be home by this Christmas from both Iraq and Afghanistan.
I would have as well pulled the United States out of the United Nations altogether.
That conglomerate of idiocy at the U.N. is nothing more than an excuse for people to hear themselves talk, lie, and use diplomacy as a shield for their corruption.
