To a certain degree this was inevitable and AP and the rest of the media deserve a share of the blame. They so over hyped Obama during the campaign that even with the best of intentions he had no chance of living up to his hype. On top of that add that Obama clearly did not run with the best of intentions. All that talk about transforming politics and a post partisan era have been shown to be just so much noise. One year in and even his most ardent supporters can see that he embraces all the things he claimed to hate, partisanship, lobbyists, special interests, back room deals, secrecy. On the one hand a certain letdown was inevitable but Obama doubled down on that by showing everyone in fairly short order just what a lying SOB he truly is.

One year into his presidency, and here's what obama had to say today in Boston:

Scott Brown [Rep candidate for Mass "Kennedy senate seat"] is marching in "lockstep" with Washington Republicans who want to return to the failed policies of the Bush-Cheney administration.

Over the past year, we've learned that that phrase doesn't bring in new jobs, doesn't make us more secure, doesn't cause congress to reduce spending, and doesn't lower our taxes. The only thing it does is provide us with a reminder that this community organizer is on a permament campaign, and that his past "voting present" record is exactly the same way he governs.

"mmm, mmm, mm. Barrack-Hussain-Øbama↓." - The liberals coolaid drinking song

What more would you expect from the leader of the "douchebaggers"!!!!!

I think this is more of a CYA piece than an hit piece on Obama. They haven't changed their stripes. All it would take is for him to swerve into doing one thing right and they will be back on message and off and running. No time to let up or forget we have a long way to go. 

The thing about "hope" is its always in the future. Liberals love to live by platitudes and slogans. All big puffy white clouds without any rain. We need to take back our country and take back our government. Both Parties suck and have for some time. A third party is not a realistic alternative so conservatives need to take back the GOP.

Seriously, the AP printed that headline?  The honeymoon might finally be over..... 

Gotta hand it to Obama, he is still doing what he promised he would do ... change the USA for good.  He doesnt care if his polls drop or people hate him.  He might be looking at President Bush and the hatred on the left and the SRM campaign that drove his numbers down.  But President Bush for the most part believed and it worked because he was right.  Duh Vain One is wrong.

Americans have huge disdain for tyrants and tyranny.

There are few people that don't realize that Obama wouldn't have been elected without the press.  They never vetted him, they never looked into his background, they never questioned his lack of experience, they never sent reporters to look at his college transcripts, they just never.....

Now, after a year, we find out that it takes more to runa country than a community organizer and the words "hope and change". It takes more to run a country than the ability to read a teleprompter and give people a cute smile.

The question now is, will the press try and cover their tracks by actually reporting on Obama and the Democrats?  Somehow, I doubt it.  

Election 2008-God's way of showing us that elections count.  

Am I the only one who thinks the gray hair thing is deliberate...to give him a dignified,wise look?? It's not working.

...where you could find out just about anything you wanted to know about the former community agitator.

It really wasn't all that difficult.

I am full of hope. We who passionately object to Obama's policies, and have firmly and steadily opposed his plans see real progress in our efforts to stop and turn back his destructive administration.

Whatever it is that Obama actually believes, you can believe it doesn't promote America or American ideals. President Clinton once excused the Democrat Party's illegal activities by saying anything they did was ok because the Democrats had to stop the Republican juggernaut.

I don't advocate illegal activities, and Republicans and independents don't NEED illegal measures to beat the Democrats. We do have to fight for our very lives though, and never forget that the price of freedom is very high indeed. And freedom, once lost, is almost impossible to regain.

earthquake disaster, and the people of Haiti are still suffering.  FoxNews reporter Jonathan Hunt reported today on an orphanage he had located where the orphans had been left with no food or water, and have not seen anyone from the U.S. or the U.N since the earthquake.

President Bush was criticized enormously for the government's response to Hurricane Katrina and for his lack of leadership.

Where is the criticism and disappointment in President Obama's leadership in his response to the Haiti earthquake disaster? Where is Shepard Smith and Geraldo Rivera when we need them?

I’m speculating, but I believe that the reason for this delay in helping the Haitian people is that President Obama doesn’t care about Black people?

is that Mr. AA-CA even got elected to any state or federal office and the damage that he has already caused. He needs to sit down, shutup and get out of the way pronto so we can send  a real American up there to take a broom in and clean up the mess he has made.

When it became a race between McCain and Obama, I realized that we'd have to get Obama in office to really make any change to the way out government is run. McCain would have done just like he always has and pander to the Dems. Polosi would control him and he'd end up taking the blame for everything she did.  It happened to President Bush in 2006, and McCain isn't half the man Bush is.  With Obama as president, Polosi is still in charge of the country and able to push her agenda. Obama is just a child compared to her, and unable to stand up to her.  Polosi is the one running the country, and thankfully with a Dem as president, they have to take responsiblity for what they are doing. I realize they are still trying to blame President Bush for all their failures, but that's just making them look foolish. Obama is the best thing that could have happened to our country at this time. We have a cancer in Washington and until recently, nobody was willing to realize how bad it was.  Now it's coming to light that ther is a problem, and playing nice to the Libs is not the way to go.  What is truly shocking is how quickly America has noticed this and how many people now realize that the real problem is with the Libs and big governement.   It's too early to tell, but Obama sure looks like a lame duck, Reid is out of office and I'm really hoping that Polosi feels the backlash too.   Loss of the Speakership for sure, hopefully a serious challenger for her office steps up to challenge her in SF.

I wish to elaborate on a sentiment expressed a few posts ago. I too think that, in so many words, Obama, with Pelosi and Reid, is the best thing to happen to conservatism in a long time. The republicans made a mistake nominating McCain and, in so doing, lost the election. This is partly due to conceding to much to the far left during the Bush years. By failing to uphold fiscal and political conservative strongpoints (if they can just keep their religion out of it, too), they left independents without much to vote for. Along comes the trainwreck of the Obama admin, which serves as a wake-up call. That is, sometimes, the best way to show the faults of the far left dems is for them to get in power, once in a while. But therein lies the inherent danger of what they can accomplish while in power.
