Maybe. Maybe not.
But I think some should focus on the more important issues, not petty crap like this.
"Petty crap"... like outright lies?
I like Obama so far. But it's been only 10 freaking days! :doh
This is petty, and I'm not going to get riled up by it.
If I were you, I'd focus on results. Let's see how he does. But give him at least 100 days, m'kay?
The problem is that OBAMA was the one that said that Lobbyists in government were an important issue when he made it a campaign issue AGAINST McCain.
I highly doubt it was an important issue amongst the voters. I think people were most concerned about the economy, taxes and change, I would think.
So first it was we couldn't critisize his decisions until jan 20th, now its "100 days", after "100 days" what will the next step in the left wing gag order on citisizing the Obama.
Name me a President that kept all of his campaign promises, and I'll sell you a bridge. :doh
Like Missypea wrote, we must look at the gray. These hires could turn out to be solid. So what is the big deal?
Now if Obama decided to poo-poo the more major promises from his campaign, then yeah, there better be some 'splaining. Till then, give him his 100 days.
You know, didn't Dubya promise in 2000 that he'd not start a war without exhausting diplomacy? LOL I'll have to find that video.
Oopsie!
You can go nuts on him all you want. But don't expect most to think your're being reasonable by bitching about each and every little thing.

Honesty is not an important issue among voters?
Now I'm hardly one that's been going "nuts" on him on every single little thing he does. There's been a number of things already I've said are rather none issues, but there are some I think are legitimate.
That said...
Doesn't it suck for the shoe to be on the other foot? Cause this **** was going on for 8 years now from the other side.
Funny, I don't remember you making urges to your fellow democrats to stop.
You know, didn't Democrats complain that Dubya didn't keep his 2000 promise not to nation build?
Wasn't it democrats on this forum that started up posts with the sole puprose to insult, degrade, and question the integrity of McCain based on NOTHING ELSE but him hiring Lobbyists onto his campaign team?
So if its McCain's campaign having lobbyists, then they're absolutely bad and that absolutely mean McCain's bad...but if its Obama with lobbyists "lets wait and see, they could be good! Don't make judgement! Its a none issue even though OBAMA HIMSELF made lobbyists an issue"
It's really early.
My initial assessment thinks he's being mostly honest, and trying hard to fulfill his promises.
1) He's reaching across the aisle and asking all sides for input. Wow, isn't that a huge change!
2) He's just not handing over the bailout money. It's coming with clauses. Amazing that he cared enough to actually call out the money grabbing banking pigs by shaming them on national TV. Go Barack!
3) It's seems he's hiring quality people for the right positions. As far as I know, none are buddy appointments. Cool.
There is more, but it's not necessary. So far, so good, IMO.
Chimp would immediately be considered racist by the left. You'll have to use the term, surrender-monkey. No that won't do either. It'll have to be socialist primate.And it is not the same. I have yet to call him the Socialist chimp, or other derogatory names. I am simply bringing up issues of his going back on his campaign promises, his picks, and his early policies.
And unlike left wingers over the last 8 years, when he does something right, like the recent EEO EO, and his slamming wall street bonuses, I applaud him....

. No one should be faulted for that.
Nor should anybody be faulted for scrutinizing and criticizing Obama.
If it's legit, you bet.
You're trying to misdirect the conversation.Name me a President that kept all of his campaign promises, and I'll sell you a bridge. :doh
The big deal is that Obama lied.Like Missypea wrote, we must look at the gray. These hires could turn out to be solid. So what is the big deal?
Oh, I see. Its OK that your guy lied, because the lie was 'small'.Now if Obama decided to poo-poo the more major promises...
More misdirection (never mind that W did exactly that).You know, didn't Dubya promise in 2000 that he'd not start a war without exhausting diplomacy?
Change?I highly doubt it was an important issue amongst the voters. I think people were most concerned about the economy, taxes and change, I would think.
And you've made the exact same statement to all the W haters that did the exact same thing -- right?You can go nuts on him all you want. But don't expect most to think your're being reasonable by bitching about each and every little thing.
If it's legit, you bet.
This is "debatepolitics", I am discussing the POTUS. I am sorry you want to do the liberal "Lets attack the Good Reverend" for daring to discuss dear leader.
And it is not the same. I have yet to call him the Socialist chimp, or other derogatory names. I am simply bringing up issues of his going back on his campaign promises, his picks, and his early policies.

A black person referring to GWB as a "chimp" isn't racist.Chimp would immediately be considered racist by the left.
