why is this past tense? the guy isn't even president yet, but he's already failed to deliver?? how does this work exactly?

geez timmi, you sound just like some of the racist rednecks around here-they won't give him a chance either.

Obama's at least doing his part. He freed up two spots at the local DC public school by sending his two to a private one. He did get rid of his racist minister, explained he barely knew Ayers 'the terrorist' and Rezco 'the convict', had no 'personal' conversations with Blago. hid out his illegal auntie, missed his grandmother's who raised him funeral. He did return for the memorial service on a fuel efficient jet and will charge into DC on inauguration day on a train from Philly. Not clear yet whether he plans to walk or bike to Philly to catch the train but maybe someone will tell him he's already in Wasington before he departs. The carbon emitted from the train has to be like a 100 google searches LOL. Yep he's a real Green one.

He does have a Chief of Staff who is better than Burt Campbell at disappearing though.

Some of his Democrat collegues aren't happy with him either!
The media which anointed him has clamored for his action since day 1.
He gets the "real" scope of the job he needs to do and he starts to backtrack
He set the bar high to start with, and in the 1st month he said he was gonna need 2 terms...that was a clue! He's been the most visible President-Elect ever....so he's gotta step up! I'm not lowering my expectations...I'm holding him to what he said he could do,period!

[Danzig]

holding him to it? you're already complaining he hasn't met expectations, and he hasn't even taken office. yeah, i'm sure you'll be as patient with him as you would with mccain had he won.

NY Times article on the same issue:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/us...romises&st=cse

Although Mr. Obama has not publicly identified which priorities will have to wait, advisers and allies have signaled that they may put off renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, overhauling immigration laws, restricting carbon emissions, raising taxes on the wealthy and allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly in the military.

he said a few months ago that he would refrain from raising cap gains taxes for now, as he didn't want to adversely affect the economy-i am assuming that is what he meant about raising taxes on the wealthy...i thought it was interesting, since he had said it wouldn't affect the economy back when he was determined to raise them.


my biggest worry is this new package they (congress and the new pres) say they want to pass--it's a huge package, and will cause our debt to balloon tremendously...i just hate to see us try to get out of a crisis caused mainly from bad credit by using...credit.

Confronted by the worst financial crisis in generations, President-elect Barack Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress are preparing to delay some of the promises he made on the campaign trail to avoid political distractions and focus on reversing the economic slide.

Now, unless I can't read, Obama isn't saying what Dimmy was passing off as what he said, but no surprise there. Still waiting Dimmy.

and that makes sense-we all know that congress can get sidetracked as easily as a two year old on a playground.

What is so difficult to grasp here? Obama is saying some of the things he said he was going to do in his campaign are being pushed back because he is walking into a financial crisis. I'm not sure if you noticed the crisis, but it's bad Dimmy. So bad that it should be the number one focus of whatever President is taking office. Now, if McCain had won, and said the same thing Obama did, it's a non issue to you. Get over it already.

i think you're right on that.

McCain was trying to hold it all together
Obama promised a new beginning
I hope it works out OK for the country.
