Today's the Day Obama Swore Iraq Withdrawal Would Be Done Thu May 20, 2010 at 05:29:31 AM PDT

Candidate Obama said innumerable times that ending the war in Iraq would be the first thing he would do:

And he said many, many times that he would do so by beginning immediately to pull out one to two brigades per month and be done in 16 months, in other words: now:

When President Bush failed to pull out of Iraq, Senator Obama in 2007 said that Congress should overrule the president and end the war in order to represent the American people. Not a bad idea:

If we take what Obama said and put it in a row next to what really happened I think it will be very one sided except for CHANGE oh he has changed a whole lot ...

[mythunter]

Three promises Obama has kept:

1. increased spending

2. higher taxes

3. astronomically higher deficit

Obama has done plenty.

Who voted this moron in anyway? Oh yeah, it was us, the american people. What's wrong here?

I agree. It's just too bad.

Like I told my wife the night he was elected "America I hope you are happy with what you got". He and his wife are like a couple of kids with a big cookie jag. Only problem is, he is running out of cookies!!!!!!

Definition - political election campaign

The empty promises offered in semblance of patriotism ...

is merely a vessel to obtain desired personal political positioning.

Like we didn't see that one coming.

sorry, for the pessimism

Well lets see .. One you owould not be here on DINAR VETS if it were not for bush .... Two all the bad things that happend under his guide are over shaowing alll the good and thereare alot ... but when Obama is gone there will be NO good to be over shadowed

[vmike64048]

according to the AP, Americans paid fewer taxes in 2009 than anytime since the Truman administration. Where do you get the taxes are up thing?

[Dryden01]

He also promised to close Guantanamo. I guess the communo-socialist-Maoist-Guevara-progressives like to hear him talk the talk even if he doesn't walk the walk. The odd thing is that there is no need to close Guantanamo at all other than it serves as a reminder that the seditionists used it as a campaign gambit in the last presidential election. It is an ideal location to separate the Islamo-terrorists from the citizens. If there are allegations of abuse, then why not deal with them? We are supposed to believe that the administration can reform healthcare but not Guantanamo prison conditions?

[EmilyJJJ]

What has OBAMA accomplished? Really, everything he has said has not really been done. I did not care for him, I did not vote for him.

I cannot wait for the next election... however it is nice to see some being kicked out of office this year...

[quadraph0nic]

He made big promises that many knew would be way to hard to keep just to get elected.

Like a pied piper everyone followed him....

November get out there and vote!

Ahmen

[ROACH]

it was not all of us ...

AMEN!!!

[mjsnow79]

He did promise us change and that is exactly what we got...As a matter of fact that is all I have got....left in my pockets.

[Seabee]

I for one did not vote for Obama. Change? Ha

He is just one of many Presidents that continue to make this country look like a laughing stock

[Utard]

"CHANGE" is also what Germany was looking for in 1932...... enough said

If life was that easy, the gurus would have gotten the RV date right by now....I won't even say cut the guy some slack...it's more like wake up and grow up...things don't happen simply because someone says they will and leaving Iraq now, after more money, more lives and the country could fall apart and then we'd never get our precious RV would be STUPID....our President...good or bad, voted for or not, is not STUPID!!!! So, where's the rumor in this....SO B!&$# about him somewhere else....GO RV!!!!!!

[lechesuerte]

You said it pourit- it not only should be but it has to become AMERICANS v. GOVERNMENT

[tcjams]

Wow! It's amazing to me how instead of standing behind the President, who is attempting to fix what's broken, for quite some time the general sentiment is that he's the problem with America, he's the reason the real estate market crashed, he's the reason all the wall street pukes have been robbing investers, he's the one responsible for our jobs being shipped overseas etc... Everyone acts as if this mess started with the Obama administration and they're the reason we're in this situation AND WE WANT IT FIXED NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I get that you basically blame the guy that's there now, but with all the intelligent people on this forum, are you just complaining just to complain? I mean really, how can you expect this mess to be fixed in what 17months!?!?!?! I'm definately not trying to make excuses for the President, nor am I the black guy defending the other black guy, but what would any of you guys have done differently. Saying someone should do this or that and not fully realizing what the outcome would be and who it would truly afffect is emotional not logical. Everyone is entitled to there opinion and you really can say what you want to say, it's the American way right? Shhhhhhh don't say anything but I voted for Bush....TWICE!!!!!!! Yeah that's right and I voted for his daddy too. Mostly because I was in the military and traditionally the repub party took better care of the military, at least that was my experience. I digress.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, he is our President, like him or not, voted for him or not. He's here for the next 2 1/2 years. Vote against him in the next presidential election, get him out if you don't want him there, but at least give the man his shot. I mean really, what President have any of you NOT complained about. Do you guys like anyone??? Why don't you folks that got it all figured out run in the next election. I bet if President Obama waived all taxes on this dinar "investment" you guys would flip like pancakes at IHOP! JMHO. Bash away if you must.
