Read my fucking lips...oh I'm sure you've heard broken promises before. Anything to win an election. At least Obama is giving a shot to his promises.

You would be happy if you were right, which means your guns and ideals and water supply will be in great peril.

I don't care, because I'm not afraid of the world. But you will view any views outside of yours as counter to what you are used to, and therefore evil. You might want to get used to being nice. It might just save you someday.

Ummmm.... yea, fuck that. I have tried that in the past. It fails as a useful tool to get things done.

7 Broken Promises in Record Time
1. Make government open and transparent.

2. Make it "impossible" for Congressmen to slip in pork barrel projects.

3. Meetings where laws are written will be more open to the public. (Even Congressional Republicans shut out.)

4. No more secrecy.

5. Public will have 5 days to look at a bill.

6. You’ll know what’s in it.

7. We will put every pork barrel project online.

Oh then, Merc...what are YOU doing to change things, besides posting articles all the time?

Are you happy and comfortable with yourself? Are you true to YOU every day? I don't think so, but I could be wrong. What are you doing to get things done?

This has nothing to do with me. This has everything to do with Obama and what he promised the American public.

Read my lips, no new Gitmo.

It's a far sight better at attempting to live up to campaign promises than I've seen in my lifetime...there are obstacles. You seriously don't see that?

I see that he promised to close it by Dec. And I fully support it. If he does not he fails.

"there are obstacles"? No shit? So you are willing to give him a pass but not Bush? Fuck that, if it is not closed by Dec, as he promised, all the blame rests on him. Completely.

You never address anything that doesn't jibe with your viewpoint. I don't have to say it again, you'll just ignore it anyway.

I don't read dana'a question as pertaining to a particular president. I understood "(regardless of who is in power), how far can you go when mocking the president? At what point will you get thrown in jail?"

but maybe i'm nuts

Well yeah.

But I'm guessing dana likes the political discourse she has prompted.

I agree. I don't think this thread was meant to discuss individuals, but more a comentary about the office of pres.

Over here you can pretty much say anything you like about the PM, but then, we have a very similar set up as the UK atm.

Fail. He can't do it.
