Re: Minnesotas own wingnut..... Originally Posted by tntrn There you go again. He is getting caught more at it, in part because of technology, which helped get him elected.

Can't have it both ways, although only yesterday he asked a group to not judge him on broken promises, but kept promises. I'm still trying to figure that one out....Hilarious...and I'll bet the spinners are in a whirlwind.
Of course, if he wasn't speaking from both sides, he couldn't get caught, now could he?
Love how the constant use of "getting caught" makes it sound sooo much more nefarious and scary.
Obama gets plenty of criticism from those on the left too, but the difference is, those on the other side blame him for everything, every time.

Really? Well, let's hear what your criticisms are...I have the time, and if I didn't, I'm MAKE the time.

* Single payer is off the table.
* increasing troops for Afghanistan.
* Not encouraging investigation of torture, spying on U.S. citizens, and other possible offenses of the previous administration. Put them under oath!
* Pushing for an inadequate enviornmental bill.
Just a start.
Still I am very glad Senator McCain and Governor Palin are not our President and Vice President.

Still I am very glad Senator McCain and Governor Palin are not our President and Vice President.  Also,
* Having too many Wall Street sympathziers like Geithner as financial advisors, and not being nearly hard enough on those responsible for the banking collapse.
* Signing the weaker-than-it-should-be Credit Card Accountability and Responsibility bill
* Being too hung up on bipartisanship and too cautious, especially considering his high approval ratings, and dismal approval ratings of the obstructionist Republicans. He needs to realize that it is okay to stop being "Mr. Nice Guy" sometimes when it comes to the Republicans, like on health care.
Yep, he's not left enough, but of course, a gazillion times of course, I'm glad he's President and not McCain. McCain would likely have gotten us to "bomb bomb bomb" Iran by now, to show our support of the protesters there.

I agree about Geithner, but for a different reason....Any of those people, regardless of political affiliation, who have had a tax "issue" should be out on their bums.
I fail to see how he's being Mr. Nice Guy to the R's on health care. His Democratically controlled Congress surely can and will pass anything he wants. Now real checks and balances now, unless some of the Dems actually start thinking and studying what's really going on.

Too many won't because they owe their big Pharma, insurance, and other healthcare contributors.
