The Obama Delusion

Thank you for this breath of reality. I begaan to think we are a nation of sheep, one bellows and the rest just follow never knowing where they are being lead.
The vote for war was in 2001. Obama did not become a U.S. senator until 2004. You cannot vote if you are not elected. Watching the debates I noticed how he would take Senators Clinton's words and expand as if the words and ideas belonged to him.
Each and every plan that has been presented by Obama is as if the plan will begin on the first day in office. This is not true, any and all must be approved by the house and the senate.
We are a nation in debt, We are a nation at war. We are a nation that is now in a recession and if not very careful we will face a depression. We import more than we export.
We need jobs here in America and we need those jobs to pay a living wage.We need to rebuild our country. Obama is strong on words but he is weak on experience.Rove gave Bush words and you know where that has got us.
If you are going to vote please do the research on the person you are voteing for and I do not mean the web page they put up.See how they voted on bills that will cost you thousands of hours of work that will be taxed.
Would you go to buy a car and sign a contract of purchase not knowing what model and how much it is going to cost you?
Vote but be an intelligent person, Know who and what you really are voteing for. You are hireing this person for four years. You are allowing this person to control the life or death of your children if they are old enough to go to war. You are allowing this person to control what medicine you and yours will receive.You are allowing this person to ask that more tax be taken from your check. In short it is your life,money, health,jobs, of you and your loved ones.
know what you are signing up for before it is to late.

Yep, sounds about right...is it too late for us to wake up from the dream?

Anyone notice how much this Samuelson guy favors Groucho Marx???

I,would like to thank you for telling the truth as a journalist-very few seem to be capable of that anymore.

You are right on target about Obama. The voters keep electing inexperienced smooth talkers and corrupt politicians. They deserve what happens to the country afterwards , if they are that dumb! The elections aren't tryouts for a soap opera. There will be no change if we vote for empty promises and deception.

BRAVO! Finally someone has put it into words! I like Obama as well, but in 8 years please.

Now if only the rest of the media outlets would "actually" do their job and do some digging and some investigative journalism, we might awaken the rest of the country. This election has become a popularity contest based on a very eloquent speaker with no relative experience for the serious troubles this country faces in the coming years. It truly scares me to see what we're in for in the years ahead!

kingsjon, ya think Brittanny knows dilusional is spelled wih 1 L -- not 2?.

Hey Pesco14......what did Obama accomplish in Congress? Please tell. What issues does Obama know? Please share. The author was unable to provide any of Obama's solutions, can you? Yes, please go look at Obama's voting record because your statement confirms you have not. The Obama Delusion. Do you understand the title? The Obama supporters are probably the least informed supporters of all the candidates, but, heck, he sure does talk nice, and look nice. What a great speaker, Empty. Empty. Empty. I know, I know, if he's good enough for Oprah, he's good enough for you, right? I'd bet if Brittany Spears ran for president, a whole hecka of a lot of Obama supporters would find themselves in quite the pickle, no?

Pesco14. You are exactly the type of dillusional supporter the author was talking about. "How much he was able to accomplish in his short term in Congress." Show me one thing he accomplished in congress. "He knows the issues." Are you kidding me? The author could not find any of Mr. Obamas "solutions", so please if you can, direct me to the link. If Brittany Spears decided to run for President, I bet most of you Obama supporters would be in a real pickle.

Nobody botthers to ask him how he plans to pay for these things. Nor do any of the TV broadcasters ask him the hard questions or klook into his background in Chicago with The Woods Fund or his involve,,ment with James Zogby. or the Weathermen or the contributions from Renzo.

Nobody tthat asks questions at a debate will pose the hard questions or ask about some of the things that are posted on Politico or the World Net Daily.

Let's give the man a chance,he speaks well,knowledgeable,knows the issues.what else do we want;"A presidential Bootcamp"?Look at Bush records as president,look at his record before he became president and compare.That did not stop any one from voting for him for 2 terms.Now,look at Obama's record,see how much he was able to accomplish in his short term in congress.what a great president he will be.

Wld, why are you talking?

This is probably one of the most racist things I have ever said, and for once I don't feel wrong. I would like to see a United States that was wasn't run on the "typical" white mans views. YES, I would talk to countries that had been viewed as enemies. YES, I would tell countries (publicly) that I may very well bomb their asses if they don't fall in line. I look at Obama much in same way I look at Putin. As far as having the gumption to say what they are thinking and letting others sort it out...and for once that is FINE with me. I am not Republican or Democrat. I usually pick the man I feel is best for me and my nation. And eight years of a President who changes laws to fit his agenda, partnerships with his rich pals and a general distain for ethics and law, have made me look at Obama and say "Give him a chance" there is no way in hell he could be any worse than Bush. And the general advisory of Washington to any President would more than likely make it ok.
The overly ignorant assumptions of Hillary Clinton, stating that by Feb.5 she would have this race in the bag are exactly why this country is in the type of poop storm it is in. There is an understated ease in white America of having the right to think and say whatever a white person feels , as being right or just.
When it comes to law and politics it REALLY becomes BULLS_ _T. If law is law for instance, all criminals should go to the same type of prison. Not one prison for a gun toter and another type for Ivan Bosky (?) .
There should be no "hand slap" on an official who appears to commit a crime (Larry craig). I look forward to a change, and if that change has to come in the face of someone who is deemed lacking in expertise? I would say look at Bush, three failed companies, uncharted military service, poor grades. I mean, how bad could Barack Obama be??

The folks who claim to know what "the truth" is are the ones who're delusional. Think about it.
