America was built by people who solved problems. Not silly problems like what wine to order with cheeseburgers but real life and death issues such as those faced by the early colonists, the pioneers who opened the west or the soldiers who landed in places like Iwo Jima and Normandy.
So why the hell did we elect a petulant whiner to lead (?) a country like this?
Real Clear Politics has an excerpt of President Boo Hoo’s speech at a recent fundraiser (what else?):
“It’s been a long, tough journey. But we have made some incredible strides together. Yes, we have. But the thing that we all ought to remember is that as much as good as we have done, precisely because the challenges were so daunting, precisely because we we were inheriting so many challenges, that we’re not even halfway there yet. When I said ‘change we can believe in’ I didn’t say ‘change we can believe in tomorrow.’ Not change we can believe in next week. We knew this was going to take time because we’ve got this big, messy, tough democracy,” President Obama said at a campaign fundraiser in Chicago on Wednesday night.
Yes, it has been a tough journey, made even tougher by the presence of so-called leaders like Obama, Reid and Pelosi. And despite daunting “challenges” (like finding something new to blame for his messes) Obama has delivered change. Change for the worse.
He’s also right that we are a big, messy, tough democracy which hopefully still has enough gumption to admit its mistakes and correct them in 2012.

This could become big and Barack Obama and his henchmen will "bite the bullet" on this one also, along with Fast & Furious and Op. Gun Runner:

Here is some hope and change. If these figures are accurate that equal $54,000 for every American man, woman, and child. The fact that this comes from Bernie Sanders's website actually gives it more credibility.

Oh that Barry Hussein....so silly...
"We knew this was going to take time because we’ve got this big, messy, tough democracy,”
vs what, a big, ORDERly, tough dictatorship!
Just call him Chairman Obama doubling down like his mentor Chairman Mao did during the Cultural revolution! 1,000,000 dead from starvation in the first year? We only need to push the people harder! 2,000,000 dead in the 2nd year? Push them harder!

...just read along with the song.
I saw something pretty funny on O'Reilly the other day: His talking points included some journalist saying that Yes We Can! has turned into Maybe We Will, but actually that is even optimistic. I just shudder to think that we aren't even "half-way there." Just where does he intend to take us??? I mean, if he can look around at this ravaged land and claim satisfaction that his plan is working, that we are on the path he envisioned... HOLY COW!
Progressives agree that choosing which wine to consume with cheeseburgers is a silly problem; the much more significant problem is what kind of cheese to use.
Ha, ha, ha!
Was in the middle of a fit of bronchitis coughing when was reading your comment, laughing on top of bronchitis coughing will kill a person; will have to ratchet back on that multi-tasking.
Try running a Google search for the words Obama and blames. You get 456,000 hits and it's almost comedic.
obama blames bush
obama blames atms for the high unemployement
obama blames speculators
obama blames atm machines
obama blames technology
and on and on and on.......
obama blames congress
"we've got this big, messy, tough democracy"
I love how big and messy politians think things are when they are the ones making democracy tough. It'd be a whole lot easier if their special interest didnt get in the way of doing the job the people sent them there to do.
You also inherited:
AAA rating - Now AA+
5.7% unemployment - Now 9.1%
Media that is in your pocket (skipped a president)
An honorable office - Now looks like a circus of apology
What's changed is you do have a new blame game you like to play to excuse your failure.
"What's all this talk about change," the President asked
People always talk about what their financial situation is! You promised us change, and that's what we have in our pockets!
