Note: Barack Obama has an IQ of 125. Are you smarter than him? Take this IQ test and find out!
I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the words “Obama” and “Messiah” used in the same sentence. To liberals, Barack Obama is a spotless god-like figure who will save America from the scourge of neo-conservatism. I’m totally sick of hearing and reading your hero-worshiping crap, folks. Let’s face reality: like so many other powerful politicians in this country, Barack Obama sucks:
1. The Race Card: Whether it be in suggesting that anyone who doesn’t vote for him because he is black is probably a republican, or in blaming Bush administration racism on a slow response to Hurricane Katrina, Obama is quite comfortable playing the race card.
2. Anti-Indian: After the Obama campaign released a paper disparaging other candidates for their ties to the Indian-American community, the chairman of the bipartisan US India Political Action Committee, Sanjay Puri, stated that the Obama Campaign was “engaging in the worst kind of anti-Indian American stereotyping.” Of course, Obama denied any hand in the racist document put out by his campaign.
3. Corrupt Buddies: Tony Rezko, a long time friend and fund-raiser for Obama, was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business. When asked about his friend, Obama said, “I’ve never done any favors for him.” This turned out to be a lie, as evidence turned up proving that Obama had written letters to city and state officials praising Rezko’s business practices.
4. Wal-Mart Ties: While bashing of Wal-Mart’s labor practices in public, Obama has been profiting from their business through the money his wife made as a member of the board of directors for a company that produces food for the mega-corporation.
5. Religious Ties: Is Obama a Muslim? Is he a Christian? Nobody is 100% sure, but it is true that Obama was raised in a Muslim family and at one time attended an Islamic school. He currently claims to be a convert to Christianity, but some are concerned about his Muslim upbringing.
6. Anti-Second Amendment: Obama is one of the most anti-Second Amendment legislators in the country. He supports a ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons.
7. Gas-guzzler: Obama might attack American automakers for not making enough environmental friendly automobiles, but when he goes home he drives a gas-guzzling V-8 hemi-powered Chrysler 300.
8. Obama Ringtones: The most annoying campaign tool ever.
9. Obama Girl: I take back what I said about the ringtones. This girl is far more annoying.
10. His Unelectable Name: Barack Hussein Obama, ’nuff said.

FUCK OBAMA AND BLACK PEOPLE WHO ACT LIKE NIGGERS!
yeah i totally agree with kkk not all black people are bad, just the nigger ones like that one that went off with his Bible…dude obama is AN antichrist, not THE antichrist…i hope you go down the shitter with him fudgepacker…judge me now bitches!
Should we all bow down to thy King Almighty Obama? I say no and for those who voted for this jerk I hope the next 4 years are pure Hell for you. What cause does he think he has to spend us into debt for the next 100 years and then punish the people who have worked hard all of there lives and now draw social security and now he wants to stop all pay raises to people who draw social security for being retired for the next 2 years? Wow guess he cant get a kick back on that. I think he is corupt and a cheat and a lier and should be impeached at the quickest moment. We dont need a non american like him running our country.
O-one
B-big
A-ass
M-mistake
A- America
He has and will continue to destroy this country untill we are all in the poor house while he is in the white house surprised he has not repainted it black lol
Ok so to those of you who think gun control means less crime… how on earth can you be so stupid. Lets look at the facts; who buys guns legally? Law abiding citizens. Who would not be able to arm themselves in order to protect themselves if gun sales are completely outlawed? Law abiding citizens. Who attains guns illegally? Criminals and criminal organizations. With these facts in hand we can deduce that if we stop the sale of guns the people who should have guns wont and those that shouldn’t will. Now I’m not a rocket scientist by any stretch but to me it seems a no brainier if you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns… Crime will not be reduced and my guess is you’ll see an increase in home invasions and car jackings as well as more muggings and robberies. Also another side point to the gun control issue… Why don’t foreign countries come here with their armies to attack us? We are armed(and guarded by the military) what military would come here and attack us when we have guns in most homes and aren’t afraid to protect our country. Please don’t buy into the idea that taking guns away from the good means the bad will somehow drop their guns and stop being criminals it just wont happen.
I hate Obama with a passion!!
He shouldn’t of ever became president! He does not deserve it when he can’t do one right thing for this country!!! He likes gays and KILLS BABYS!!!!! 
How would he like to be killed when he was a baby? I would of liked it cuz he wouldn’t be here today running our country!! Peace! 
OBAMA, YOU ARE THE ANTICRIST!!!! OUR WORLD IS GONNA COME TO AN END BECUZ OF YOU!!!!!
Name one good thing that he has done for this country?
Nothing!
The stimulus was supposed to create a better economy but the jobless rate has gone up to 14% or something like that. He has increased our national debt and plans to even more with the healthcare crap. Just look at Canada! My cousins live in Canada and they complain of having to wait just to get simple tests done! Imagine waiting for heart surgery or something! Look at who he surrounds himself with! Crooks, racists, and liars! Like 5 people already have been charged with cheating on their taxes!! Don’t forget ACORN who encouraged prostitution! And for the gun ban, ummm look at the drug control today! Cocaine and stuff are illegal but people still end up with them and overdose and become addicts and sell to others! Come on!
I’m only 16 and I know more than some stupid racist fags on here. I told my parents to consider moving to another country, lol.
All the people in Washington DC NEED to grow up! The liberals and socialists are ALL stupid and retarded. All they do is whine when they can’t get their own way. GROW UP, WASHINGTON DC! Leave the healthcare the way it is! You are a bunch of screwup politicians. I believe we have the anti-christ among us, which is Obama himself. Now the Obama administration wants to protect the fish, which means no more fishing! How retarded is that?
OBAMA SUCKS!! GO FALCONS!!
hi
ditto
WTG!!!!!
obama sucks like all the democraps!!!
America since Hussein moved in to DC:
***Where are we going?…and why am I in this hand basket?***
WTFU America! I’m glad it’s already happening. Great site.
barak, go suck a big fat one, obama will ruin america as we know it. most of what this article has said is true, but the racist aspects should be ignored. Hitler used the same methodology to slowly push jews into ovens 50 years ago, it’s only a matter of time before he makes internment camps for conservatives or rednecks. Obama is a douche/jigabo!!!!!!
I am stunned.
The best you can come up with can be condensed to the following:
1. He might not have identical religious beliefs to mine.
2. He’s not into guns.
3. He knew someone once who might be uncool.
4. He has a stoopid name lol.
You, sir, are an absolute fuckwit, a right wing brainwashed uneducated mouth breather, and a fantastic example of the kind of american who is responsible for the rest of the world hating your once admired country.
Oh yeah..should we assassinate him?.hahahahahah
Frankly, I think some people are mad the thing McCain didn’t win and frankly I think they didn’t want Obama because he was black… he’s only half black and race shouldn’t depend on weather or not he is good for running out country. Honestly I was thinking about voting for McCain but I went with Obama these are the reasons why MCCAIN SUCKS!
1. He isn’t active enough. He is disabled
2. He wants to put children in school longer??? WTF!!!
3. The guy didn’t get enough attention whatever
4. John doesn’t want immediate or ever troop removal
5.John McCain’s National Defense stance is no surprise. I cannot say anything bad about his career in the Navy. He is the ultimate bad ass. Getting the opportunity to leave early from prison but does not because he wanted to stay with his fellow soldiers. I am sure that he has some stories that cannot be printed or told on tv.
6.He does not want universal health care but wants a system that gives flexibility to each American citizen to decide what company they want to go with. I feel that this is not much different than right now because I currently buy my own health insurance. Its like $50 a month for catastrophic care.
7.ven his take on the Roe vs. Wade is not that bad but I do not totally agree with it. His site wants to get rid of the U.S Government from making any decision on the issue and give it back to the states. He then says he wants to end abortion. Well, you are giving up federal powers and giving it to the state powers. The states are still a government so its like nothing changed.
8.I just get the feeling that McCain has the opportunity to make some greater changes than what he wants to do. The issues he has that are important are things that should not be an issue. His take even on immigration brings up too many responses from me like,duh!
9.The sad thing is that I dislike John McCain less than I do Barack Obama. John McCain got all of the publicity because of his Naval career and American citizens relate to that because all of us know somebody who is in the military. Unfortunately this does not mean that your political policies are what’s best for the U.S. The issues I feel that are important, income taxes, economy, war in Iraq, less government, McCain misses out on.
10. He’s no different the George W. Bush.
Obama does not suck he is better than all you out there you are raises he is saving my hometown palistine .
gewish people are killing NEWBORN TO 6year old babies HE IS HELPING us so stop
i don’t want anybody to die anymore so please stop
PUT MY COMMENT NOW ITS INPORTAN
all of you republicans need to get off of obama. he has done better than george bush. it takes time to rebuild the U.S.A. you republicans just can’t stand to see a democrat in office.
Tell that to the millions of people in Huron, California that Obama put out of a job. They got the water supply to their crops shut off by him over the conservation of a stupid little fish called a Smelt. Now, he is sending more troops overseas to fight a prolonged and costly war when he said he would end the war and bring the troops home as soon as he took office. I think you Obama supporters are your own worst enemies; must be really pathetic to live in denial and not have the fortitude to take responsibility for your poor decisions (one of them having voted for Obama). You non Americans are just as bad and you believe all the Obama hype overseas; you’re all scum for not having the ability to think for yourselves and frankly you’re all wastes of sperm. You can use cliche and unintelligent monikers like “hater” and you can even create massive diatribes to describe those who are against Obama but that will never change the reality of the issue; the reality is is that all of you who made excuses to hide the truth of his poor decisions have already been doomed to failure and because of your idiocy others have suffered and the worst part is is that you haven’t a shred of decency to admit you failed in your decision to vote for this imbecile.
We had a stimulus package that didn’t stimulate. We attack our businessmen and force them to relocate. We want to take apart the greatest health care system in the world. ( where do people go to study to be doctors?) How nice would it be if illegal aliens actually paid for their visits to the hospital? We could use that money to support the few who can’t afford insurance. We treat terrorists like citizens. We put our own boys through more hell to join the marines than we do captured pieces of crap terrorists. Our president apologies for us being American. He surrounds himself with corrupt garbage. He wants to control health care, the car industry and the banks. Can you tell me what government agency runs in the black. (NONE) He ran on a platform of “YES we can” without any mention of what or how. We fight a war promising to withdraw by a certain date. No wonder the world loves him, America is weak now.
Oh Reagan if only you could see what this country has become… an asylum for socialists, communists, apologists, and red liberals!

This 4th grade teacher told Obama what she and what most of America are thinking but are too afraid to say about him and his administration in this mail; she is a true American, let us not turn a blind eye to true patriots by reading this:
“April 17, 2009
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington , DC 20500
Mr. Obama:
I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally. You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States. You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.
I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?
Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ? This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this?
Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You don’t show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia . How dare you, sir! How dare you! You can’t find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don’t want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey . You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What’s the matter with you?
I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you.
You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.
What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members – on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven’t said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn’t!
Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that’s $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million – not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven’t you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now.
I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you.
I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.
Sincerely,
Every real American

There you have it. All of you who blindly support this man are obviously in league with him and you are agreement with his stupidity. You are not true Americans (some of you are foreigners in fact that take pleasure in wearing the cloak of the internet to portray yourself as an American).
Obama Sucks Ass! Boy do i miss George W.
George W. and B. Obama can both get bent.
I think Barrack Obama has made alot of broken promises on health care, on our Troops and their safety, and I feel he is selling the U.S. down the river. Stay off the t.v. talk shows( Oprah, The ‘Today Show’ and get busy worrying about the U.S. citizens and the state OUR country is in.What about the City of Elkhart Ind? That’s where I’m from and our economy is just as bad as it was when you were elected and are not getting any better. I feel you are a smooth talking, silver tongued devil and full of hot air. I am a Democrat but not much longer.
what a waste-of-internet-space lolarcticle
pity 16000 people have been convinced by this article ^^, if you can call it an article anyway
You stupid ass white people are just made to see a black man as a leader!! Nothing was accomplished with the white man in the chair.. so let a black man finally have his chance as a leader. Grow up dummies…whether he is muslim, black, white, italian or whatever… Bush was is an american and look what happened…nothing but war! You people are just races as hell and it’s killing you to your soul to see him as president! I am glad he is my leader…and you should be to..that bush is not representung the United states anymore. Stop always judging someone just because of there different back ground cultures…we all are people..and deserves a chance! He is a man of god…which means..there is only one god!!! so he does not worship anyone that we don’t! So fuck all the gossip and get to the damn bottom of this!! I love Barack Obama as my president…whether he is black or white…but because he faught hard to make a change..and deserves it!! I love you President Obama….Fuck U Haters LOL1
Take some of the education funds and go back to school Angel.Obama is falling on his face and the truth is finally coming out.
BHO will go down in history as being an even worse President than Jimmy Carter,I never thought that possble!!!
Why does everybody say that Obama is Black? He is not! I am an 8th black myself,but don’t call myself “Black”.Maybe I should since I might get a little more “Guvment cheese”.

And this is the kind of racial bigotry we see everyday that scares the crap out of me. Honestly I wouldn’t care if Obama was pink, as long as he was a good leader, which he isn’t. We actually accomplished a lot while the ‘white man’ was president, more so than we have when BO has been in office. In fact, we still have a white man as president because naturally Obama is half white. But all that no longer matters because for some reason the black side becomes dominant. Bush protected our country unlike your asshole leader is doing right now. He is a weak president, as stated by many other countries, and he needs to get a sense of reality knocked into him. He has waisted MORE than ANY OTHER PRESIDENT in the history of the U.S. Even Bush didn’t spend that much while fighting a WAR! I am ashamed that I have a weak leader like BO. I do not judge people by the color of their skin but rather the content of their character. I have been raised better than you because I look at everyone with an equal eye. I treat others who have a different background than I do just the same as I treat someone who does. Everyone has a fair and equal opportunity in this country as they should. Obama is not a man of God. Jesus was a man of God. Barack Obama was a man of his parents. You are worshipping a false god. As a devout Christian I believe in one god and only one god – God. What is the ‘gossip’? Is it perhaps the truth about BO? Or something that you made up? Because BO will do nothing but hurt our country. He did not fight hard to make a change in this country. He fought hard to make this country go to shit and nothing more. Unlike many other presidents before, he has not even served in the military. He has not risked his life for his country and he will probably not ever. And FYI, I am not ‘races as hell’. In fact, I am not racist compared to your ideas. I am a ‘stupid ass white person’ and you are a ignorant, idiotic, racist, bigot. I don’t care if your black, your stupid. And maybe if you grew a brain you would see the true consequences of our idiotic president’s ideas.
P.S. Grow a pair and a brain, get those racist ideas out of your head, and see the honest truth about BO. The world is not generally a racist place. People like you make it one.
I dislike this man because he killed a fly. What did that fly ever do to you Obama? For shame.
GO VEGAN!

Obama’s first year has been marked by failures, gaffes, broken promises and other missteps, including:
* Within days of taking office, Obama broke his pledge not to raise any taxes on those making less than $250,000 a year by imposing a tax hike of 61 cents on a pack of cigarettes. According to Americans for Tax Reform, measures supported by the president would hike taxes by $2.1 trillion over 10 years.
* Just weeks after moving into the White House, Obama signed an executive order to shut down the detainee center at Guantanamo Bay and ordered it closed within a year. Nearly a year after he signed the order, the facility remains open.
* The administration decided to try Khalid Sheik Mohammed and other 9/11 terrorists in a civilian court in New York rather than in a military court, prompting critics to predict a “public show trial.”
* Obama traveled to Copenhagen, Denmark, in an effort to convince Olympics officials to stage the 2016 games in Chicago. They chose Rio de Janeiro instead.
* Obama also traveled to Copenhagen for the much-ballyhooed climate change conference, but the bid to forge a broad alliance against global warming fell short, and the Obama-favored cap-and-trade legislation appears to be dead in Congress.
* The president dithered for months before finally agreeing to send additional troops to Afghanistan, then drew criticism for setting a date for U.S. withdrawal. A recent Quinnipiac University poll found that less than half of respondents approve of Obama’s handling of the war overall.
* Obama said he would end the war in Iraq. In the year since he took office, 473 more soldiers have died there and elsewhere, and troops remain in Iraq.
* Obama’s efforts to seek a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear program have produced no results and the Islamic Republic appears more determined than ever to acquire nuclear weapons.
* Diplomacy has also failed to rein in North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile programs.
* When mass demonstrations against the Iranian government broke out in June, Obama angered and disappointed opponents of the regime by sidestepping any condemnation of Iran’s use of force against protesters, and said the Islamic Republic had time to regain “legitimacy” in the eyes of the Iranian people.
* Despite a campaign pledge to allow C-SPAN to televise congressional meetings, Obama and the Democrats have rebuffed a request from C-SPAN to air healthcare discussions and the final version of the healthcare bill will now be hammered out behind closed doors.
* Obama also pledged to usher in a new era of bipartisanship, then went more than six months without meeting with Republican leaders on healthcare.
* Obama stirred outrage when he appeared to bow to Saudi King Abdullah at a G-20 meeting in London, a move the Washington Times called an “extraordinary protocol violation.” Despite the criticism, the president also bowed to Japanese Emperor Akihito during a November visit trip to Tokyo.
* Candidate Obama vowed that no lobbyists would work in his White House. President Obama waived that rule in June for Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn, who was a registered lobbyist for a defense contractor. Other lobbyists serving in the Obama administration include Ron Kirk, U.S. Trade Representative, and Cecilia Munoz, Director of Intergovernmental Affairs at the White House.
* Obama angered ally Israel by calling for an end to new Jewish settlements in the West Bank, then backed down when Israel’s prime minister refused to halt new construction.
* The Obama White House launched an all-out attack on Fox News in an attempt to stifle opposition to its liberal policies, only to see ratings for the cable network soar.
* Obama had to accept ultimate responsibility when the so-called underwear bomber incident exposed serious gaps in the system for detecting and preventing terrorist plots.
* Security at the White House itself was shown to be porous when two uninvited guests crashed an event honoring the prime minister of India.
* Obama nominated former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to be Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Daschle withdrew his name amid a growing controversy over his failure to accurately report and pay income taxes.
* The confirmation of Hilda Solis as Secretary of Labor was stalled when it came to light that her husband had paid about $6,400 to settle numerous tax liens against his business dating to 1993.
* At his Senate confirmation hearings, it was revealed that Treasury Secretary nominee Timothy Geithner had not paid $35,000 in self-employment taxes for several years. He also deducted the cost of his children’s sleep-away camp as a dependent care expense, when only expenses for day care are eligible for the deduction.
* Annette Nazareth, who was nominated for Deputy Treasury Secretary to help Geithner, withdrew for undisclosed “personal reasons” following a month-long probe into her taxes and other matters.
* President-elect Obama designated New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson for appointment to the Commerce Secretary position. A month later, Richardson announced his decision to withdraw his nomination as a result of an investigation into improper business dealings in New Mexico.
* Obama appointed Van Jones to be the administration’s “green jobs” czar in March. But he became embroiled in controversy over his past political activities, including his 1990s association with a Marxist group and a public comment disparaging Congressional Republicans, and resigned in September.
* Nancy Killefer stepped down from consideration to become the government’s first chief performance officer when it was learned her past performance included failure to pay taxes for her household help.
* In July, Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., was arrested at his home by Cambridge, Mass., police officer Sgt. James Crowley, who was responding to a report of a break-in, and charged with disorderly conduct. Obama created a furor by commenting that the Cambridge police acted “stupidly” in arresting the African-American teacher. That led to the Obama-moderated “Beer Summit” between Gates and Crowley, which Townhall.com called “the most demeaning moment of any president in recent memory.”
* When the administration announced that the U.S. Census would be directed by the White House under the auspices of Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Republicans warned that will politicize apportionment of House seats, redistricting, and distribution of federal aid.
* Obama appointed as his Secretary of Commerce Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, who had voted in 1995 to abolish the Commerce Department. In the face of reports that the administration would move the Census, typically run by the Commerce Department, out of Gregg’s jurisdiction, he withdrew his name from consideration.
* When British Prime Minister Gordon Brown became the first head of government to visit the White House, Obama let word out that the bust of Churchill that Prime Minister Tony Blair had presented to the U.S. as a gift from the British people had been returned to the British Embassy.
* Obama also canceled a joint news conference with Brown and excluded British reporters from covering Obama’s press conference, an act the London Daily Telegraph called “rudeness personified towards Britain.”
* A month later he gave a gift to Queen Elizabeth: An iPod full of his own speeches.
* Obama eased travel and remittance restrictions on Cuba. But Fidel Castro later said Obama “misinterpreted” what his brother Raul had said. Cuba would not be willing to negotiate about human rights, Castro insisted.
* Obama and his staff vacillated on whether to prosecute those who carried out “enhanced interrogations,” first saying that CIA operatives carrying out orders were in the clear, then later saying it would be up to Attorney General Eric Holder to decide whether some officials should be prosecuted.
* The stock market hit a seven-year low, with the Dow dipping below 7,000, after Obama likened the market to political “tracking polls,” suggesting they’re unimportant.
* In the first appearance ever by a sitting president on late-night television, Obama remarked to Jay Leno that his bowling ability is “like Special Olympics, or something.” He soon issued an apology for his insensitive remark.
* Obama betrayed allies Poland and the Czech Republic by canceling plans to build a missile defense shield in those nations to guard against an attack from Iran. Obama reportedly wanted Russia’s help in resolving the nuclear weapons issue in Iran, but Russian President Dmitri Medvedev said he would not “haggle” over Iran and the missile shield.
* In his inaugural address, Obama called on Americans to adopt a spirit of sacrifice. But the $49 million cost of his swearing-in ceremony was triple the cost of Bush’s first inaugural.
* Obama said in February that approval of his $787 billion stimulus package was urgent. Congress got its work done on a Friday, but Obama and his wife Michelle flew off on Air Force One to Chicago for the Valentine’s Day weekend and dined at a romantic restaurant before flying back to Washington on Monday to sign the bill.
* Obama promised workers at Caterpillar Inc. that his stimulus bill would save their jobs. Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens later said there would be more layoffs at the company.
* Obama pledged during his campaign to slash earmarks to no greater than 1994 levels, which would be 1,318, according to the Washington Times. Then he signed into law some 9,000 earmarks, totaling about $5 billion.
* Obama promised in February to crack down on executive pay for companies that take “exceptional” amounts of bailout money. But he did nothing to stop 73 executives from AIG, which has received $170 in bailout funds, from taking home bonuses of up to $6.4 million.
* Obama’s promise of a public option in the healthcare reform plan — a government-run insurance plan that would compete with private insurers — has died in the Senate. His plan to allow lower-cost drug imports into the U.S. was also defeated.
Looking at the high and low points of Obama’s first year, it is no surprise that his job approval rating has plummeted from around 70 percent when he took office to below 50 percent today.
You’re So right. Nobama has done nothing for this country but sell us to China and weaken our defence. And to the Black person who claimed that white Presidents have not done anything positive for this country, you’re African Black Ass is free in America because of Whites so get off your poor black man syndrom you ignorant (and always will be) black (and always will be) asshole. By the way, Nobama is half white so you still haven’t seen a black president you stupid son of a bitch.
HEY! I HAVE AN IDEA! Let’s spend more taxpayer’s money dispatching troops, rescue teams and ships to Haiti just so we can save some mambo ass niggas so that once we help them rebuild they can continue to rape, murder and contribute nothing to our international markets but a hole in our pockets just like Africa. I swear, where were the resuce teams in Huron California when the millions of farmers lost their jobs because Obama shut off the water for their crops in order to protect a stupid fish called a ‘Smelt’? Where were those idiotic pretentious and specious movie star morons with their telethons and donations to help out then? Where was the help when all those people lost their jobs because
DHL went under? Where was the help for the families who are in soup lines now on a daily basis because of unemployment? Where was the help when small businesses went under? Where is OUR help? We’ll bail out private automobile companies and we’ll save and adopt mambo ass niggas overseas but we wont help out our own fellow Americans and adopt the children here? Wow, smart idea Obama. Haiti isn’t the country you work for. We come first.
P.S. You fake ass celebrities who use those Haitians as a means to bring attention to yourselves; you need to go get bent and you need to move to Africa; preferably Somalia because your movies are not all that great anymore anyway so go fuck yourselves.

Doesn’t suck that much at all, or we just don’t know enough about him yet. Either way, I agree, this list is rather contrived and petty compared to the Hillary and Romney lists.
HEY BRY! KNOW ENOUGH YET, MORON?!!
It’s really fun to see a thread that goes on for a-year-and-a-half. A chronological reference of an administration bent on self-destruction from day-one. Only 14 months later we can see what happens when idiots like Brian can’t see through a wet tissue like Obama until he destroys the country. Thanks, Bry! I hope you finally pulled your head out of your posterior.
Here’s ten more reasons, now that we have 20-20 hindsight”
“He-is-a-f***ing-liar; he-is-a-f***ing-Marksist”
‘Nuff said.
Some of you are having a hard time knowing if you can trust our nation’s leader, even after more than a year of watching him. Here are five things you can think about to help decide. So, do you trust this man?
1) After Obama’s forced retirement in 2012 you find him parking cars for a living in inner-city Philidelphia, would you give him the keys to your Mercedes?
2) Maybe he gets a job in one of the many financial firms he bailed out that would have failed due to corruption and poor administration, and, anyways, he’s your financial advisor and tells you if you give him everything you saved all your life (if you have anything left after his presidency) and if you spend most of what you make each week on whatever he tells you to spend it on (if you still have a job after his presidency) and then you cash in your kids college fund, then borrow as much money as you can until no one in his right mind would lend you any more and keep spending everything on whatever he tells you, this will actually lower your debt over the next 4 years and you will become rich beyond your dreams, would you do it?
3) OK, OK…so maybe he gets a job selling health insurance (assuming we have an operational health care system after his presidency) and he tells you he can REALLY lower your health insurance costs if you take some of the savings options like “if you are over 75 and you get sick–you gonna die!” option or “if you need a heart transplant and an illegal alien needs a heart transplant he gets the heart and your wait” option or the “if you get a job where your employer pays your health care you give up all rights to take advantage of your job’s health care” option and keep paying for your insurance from him forever, would you buy his policy?
4) OK, OK, so you are still having a hard time making up your mind if you trust the “Bomma, you find him selling home security plans after his forced retirement in 2012 and he explains it is revolutionary because they don’t actually install any equipment in your home as it might offend crooks and make them want to rob you even more so they have town hall meetings for crooks to attend voluntarily in your neighborhood and tell the crooks the home owners are sorry they have nice homes and crooks don’t and aplolgizes on behalf of the homeowners and assures the crooks even if they get caught robbing no charges will be pressed because he trusts the crooks will not rob anyways now that they see how apologetic and gentle the home owners are, would you buy his home security plan?
5) Well, Ok, so the ex-Obominator is polishing floors in a 20 story office building and you meet him in the elevator as he takes his buffer to the next floor and he says “nice day, huh” and similes at you with his big teeth and big ears sticking out waiting for a response–would you say “yes it is” or would you wait until you got to your floor and say “just a minute” and go to a window and look NOT just to see if the day is really nice but to make sure it isn’t actually night time, or do you trust him?
