Where is he?? He’s in other countries boasting of his muslim roots, and calling America “shameful” and “arrogant”! He’s creating a government controlled U.S.A. from car makers, to banks, to guns, and guess what healthcare is next!! In case you Oblama sheep aren’t aware (or even though you obviously don’t care) that is called SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, -total government control!!!

He’s telling people to “cut back” watch spending, making promises he continues break! And NOTHING interferes with his spending habits— he’s taking lavish trips, has lavish dates, and is purely enjoying spending taxpayer money with his unending blank checks on the peoples money!! The MEDIA coverage (although bias and always flattering to him) is just icing on the cake for this arrogant ego-maniac!!

How DO you promise to “save” or “create” thousands of jobs with TAXPAYER money, and the UNEMPPLOYMENT be the HIGHEST IT’S EVER BEEN???

How DO you tell America that “bankruptcy is not an option” when it comes to our car makers, then it suddenly becomes the only option, but that’s ok because it’s a “government controlled” bankruptcy??

Since when does the President have control over a CEO’s JOB at a CAR COMPANY??

This IS what it IS people… a man with many debts of thanks and monatary reimbursements to those big money corporations that have put him where he is today! Even ACORN received STIMULUS MONEY (our money)? Any flags going up yet? Any gut instincts about this man and his agenda? Do you honestly feel safer? Do you feel America is “stronger”? What has he done FOR America, vs. what he’s done FOR HIMSELF? Think about it.

Funny how NObama has spent most of his Presidency in other countries…kinda like his childhood. I’m glad he has time to travel with world with his family while the country is in a recession and we are at war. Change starts from the top. This a going to be 4 years of ridiculous behavior. He is no leader.


- Change?

I hope President Obama and Queen Elizabeth along with countless other heads of state actually do invite Susan Boyle to sing at some special event in each of their respective countries! She is an awesome talent and deserves to be given the chance to shine on the world stage!! So…..IS ANYONE LISTENING?! I sincerely hope so!

I wonder if Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain attended? Because unlike all of the other heads of state SHE actually served during World War Two in the Women’s Auxiliary Territorial Service. So SHE belongs there more then anyone else attending! I only bring this point up because she was initially excluded from the ceremony! The French can remember some our hotshot president but not a head of state who actually served! That just goes to show what the French’s priorities are! Style over substance!!!
