When he ran for president I didn't like him or his ideas. When he won, I decided that I would give him a chance and maybe he would be good for this country. I wish that I could say that after several years I learned to distrust him, but the truth is that it only took a couple of months and I was done with it!
However, I DID listen to him because I was hopeful that some of his promises would be fruitful for my grandsons. He promised us jobs from stimulus funds to do renovations to highways, infrastructure, bridges etc and I remember telling my then-out-of-work-grandson to wait just a few months for jobs to be created. Four years later, we're still waiting.
Obama's betrayal goes far beyond empty promises. I can take those. What I can't take is his deliberate attempts to destroy America and force his Marxist programs on this, the United States of America, land of the Free!!
Obama – the audacity of betrayal

Obama made a lot of promises, to the country, and to its people. And he broke nearly all of them. (The ones he didn't break, he ought never have made in the first place.) The voter's remorse is palpable. Maybe that explains why Obama can no longer raise the money he feels the need to spend.

Unfortunately, what we got was a centrist Republican who sheltered the banks, passed a half-assed stimulus, continued the violations of our civil liberties, and is extending the damaging conservative programs which almost destroyed our country.
We need a real progressive in the White House; Somebody who will fight against the conservative lunatics who threaten our country and who will not compromise halfway between the fire and the firefighter.

The Republicans said no to pretty much everything Obama tried to do. When John Boehner tried to reach across the isle and come to a bipartisan agreement on somethings there was a backlash from his own party. When Obama saw that he would get no support on anything, he tried to do some things on his own and the GOP had a fit about that. Now we get blogs of this nature condemning Obama because he accomplished very little.
This is the problem I see with this scenario. The GOP cannot (Should not) pat themselves on the back for shooting down 90% of what he wanted then turn around and blame him for not getting it done.
There is an old saying, "You can't have your cake and eat it to." I think the GOP should remember this saying because Independents and swing voters do pay attention to what is going on.
This election is a repeat of the Election of 1964. Ronald Reagan called it: are we going to be free and independent? Or are we going to let an intellectual elite in a far-distant capital (Capitol?) tell us what to do?

LOL, There is only one thing that he did to remove my freedom. He extended Bush's Patriot act and I do hold that against Obama. Bush violated our freedom and he extended the crap. Oh, that is okay because a Republican did it. Damn I am glad I'm an Independent Dems and Repubs put stuff in your guys food or something. :-)
I do not know which was a worse president, Ronald Reagan or Jimmy Carter but at least Carter could remember things. He just did not do much that needed remembered. LOL
My favorite actors are probably Clint Eastwood, Sly Stallone and Vin Diesel. Reagan sucked at acting as well.
In short, there's reason to worry about the continued viability of the recent rally.Following three years of this continuous, uninterrupted failure, Greece has already defaulted on 75% of its debts, and its economy is totally destroyed. The UK, Spain and Italy are all plummeting downward in suicide-spirals, where the more austerity these sadistic governments inflict upon their own people the worse their debt/deficit problems get. Ireland and Portugal are nearly in the same position.
Now in what may be the greatest economic "mea culpa" in history, we have the media admitting that this government/banking/propaganda... troika has been wrong all along. They have been forced to acknowledge that Iceland's approach to economic triage was the correct approach right from the beginning.
What was Iceland's approach? To do the exact opposite of everyth...

What was Iceland's approach? To do the exact opposite of everything the bankers running our own economies told us to do. The bankers (naturally) told us that we needed to bail out the criminal Big Banks, at taxpayer expense (they were Too Big To Fail). Iceland gave the banksters nothing.
The bankers told us that no amount of suffering (for the Little People) was too great in order to make sure that the Bond Parasites got paid at 100 cents on the dollar. Iceland told the Bond Parasites they would get what was left over, after the people had been taken care of (by their own government).
The bankers told us that our governments could no longer afford the same education, health care and pension systems which our parents had taken for granted. Iceland told the bankers that what the country could no longer afford was to continue to be blood-sucked by the worst financial criminals in the history of our species. Now, after three-plus years of this absolute dichotomy in economic policymaking, a clear picture has emerged (despite the best efforts of the propaganda machine to hide the truth).

Ole Joe is older then any sock you know. Don't be pickin on old folks... LOL
By doing so I feel he has also betrayed every citizen of this Country.
Hitler had answers for everyone's problems. He promised to restore order and greatness. And many people accepted Hitler with open arms. Which was partly due to poor alternatives and due to the fact that Hitler told the people what they wanted to hear. Since at the time the German people were without jobs resulting from the crises and were open to anyone who promised to bring back social order and economic control. Hitler promised both of these things. The German people would have supported almost any candidate who could have made them feel as Hitler did. They wanted to feel good about themselves and about their country so they opened their arms to the person who made them feel this way.
In addition to that due to the Wall Street crash the increase in economic trouble in Germany in the late 30s ironically helped the Nazis gain voters, as they claimed to have all the answers. People who had never voted before in their lives rapidly became die-hard Nazis followers. In the 1932 elections, the Nazi party received more votes than any other. The election results a total of around 13 million votes showed that Hitler had gained a lot of support. Which assumingly came through a lot of campaigning, which might have been probably due to Hitler allying with a crucial group, the elite and the big businesses.
