Obama before and after..

Obama before Reality Strikes

“ “Senator Barack Obama says he would “engage in aggressive personal diplomacy” with Iran if elected president and would offer economic inducements and a possible promise not to seek “regime change” if Iran stopped meddling in Iraq and cooperated on terrorism and nuclear issues.”

Obama after Reality bites him in the BUTT..

“ “President Barack Obama said Tuesday that Iran remains on an "unacceptable" path to nuclear weapons, despite its denials, and that the U.S. and like-minded countries will soon produce a set of punishing sanctions against the Islamic republic.”

Obama before Reality Strikes

“ “President Barack Obama will sign three executive orders Thursday, to close the detainee camp at the Guantanamo Bay military facility within a year and to establish new rules and guidelines on interrogation methods and the treatment of detainees, sources who have seen a draft of the orders tell ABC News.”

Obama after Reality bites him in the BUTT..

“ “Friday marks the one-year anniversary of President Obama's pledge to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay within the year. And, as anyone who has paid any attention to national security matters knows, the deadline will not be meant.
In fact, on Thursday the White House announced that they did not have a time frame for shutting Gitmo down.”

Obama before Reality Strikes

“ “President Obama was expected to “formally approve additional deployments” to Afghanistan last week. But on Friday, ABC News reported that Defense Secretary Robert Gates was deferring a decision on whether to send more more troops “until President Obama decides what force levels he wants.”

Obama after Reality bites him in the BUTT..

“ “The expediency of his decision was transparent. Satisfy the generals by sending 30,000 more troops. Satisfy the public and peace movement with a timeline for beginning withdrawals of those same troops, with no timeline for completing a withdrawal”

When you sit down and go back over the Candidate Obama’s statements and promises and then place them in context with the Elected Obama.. some things become glaringly obvious.

This President is way over his head. His approval is down to 44% in just ONE year..

He has WASTED the entire year on HEALTHCARE when EVERY poll told him.. HANDS OFF OUR HEALTHCARE..

Everyone told him “It’s the ECONOMY” and jobs.. but he was determined to get his agenda done.

What happened to AMERICA’s agenda? He was elected not crowned to be the CEO of America.

Now a YEAR later after he presided over the loss of the most liberally held seat in AMERICA he finally ditches Cap and Trade and decides it is the Economy.

But has he finally got it through his thick skull what America wants..

“President Obama on Friday pledged not to "walk away" from health care reform, telling a crowd in the Cleveland suburbs that he's still committed to driving down health care costs despite the crippling effect his party's loss in the Massachusetts Senate election had on the Democrats' bill.”

Nope…

S. "sour grapes " L. You are chasing your tail on this one.

But I think I know why. Let's just take your first bullet gleaned from the internets.

Obama before Reality Strikes

“ “Senator Barack Obama says he would “engage in aggressive personal diplomacy” with Iran if elected president and would offer economic inducements and a possible promise not to seek “regime change” if Iran stopped meddling in Iraq and cooperated on terrorism and nuclear issues.”

Obama after Reality bites him in the BUTT..

“ “President Barack Obama said Tuesday that Iran remains on an "unacceptable" path to nuclear weapons, despite its denials, and that the U.S. and like-minded countries will soon produce a set of punishing sanctions against the Islamic republic.”

I take it your thesis here is that there is an ocean of difference between, "aggressive personal diplomacy with Iran" , your "before,"

and " a set of punishing sanctions," your "after."

I can't see how sanctions are inconsistent with aggressive diplomacy. Sanctions aren't a declaration of war. Or "nuking" as Sarah would put it, but I'm sure you know that.

More importantly, why are you not using a sliver of your time to share the Tea Party ideas from Nashville with us? You guys are going to clean up in 2010 and 2012 right? so don't you want to let us in on some of the nifty IDEAS your side has, Steve? Ideas like these:

A civics literacy test before you are allowed to vote.

"It is based on Judeo-Christian principles. If you don't like it, don't come here. And if you're here, and you don't like it, go home. Go somewhere else."

That flag that you see.....the flag that the president won't even put his hand on his heart (wiping tears)." Ironically, the Tea Partiers didn't even have a flag the first day. And they tried to blame the venue .

"If McCain had been elected, Sarah Palin would not be free to tell it like it is." (I think she probably would have quit by now, personally)

Sarah gets a hand on her notes.

There also seems to be a Tea Party circular firing squad forming.

And law suits flying.

Now I must say that I like the Tea Party Nation's claim that they are "pro military." It's right in their charter.

I wonder if the Tea Party will offer an opinion to Ms Malkin on their view of urinating on the grave of a war veteran 4 days after his death.

Here are her greatest hits:

"No tears for the wreckage, poison, and damage to the public trust he left behind."

"John “Jack” Murtha was an unrepentant smear merchant and corruptocrat to the bitter end."

"The ego-bloated, big-mouthed lawmaker treated his own constituents with trademark contempt."

"Jack Murtha embodied everything that is wrong with Washington. If only the culture of corruption he serviced could be buried six feet under with him."

I am willing to bet her "complaints from Tea Partiers" file is empty.

What do you think?

The point of which you obviously missed.. was Candidate Obama made a series of Statements and Promises.. Many of which he has had to "ADMEND" to the REALITIES of Governing..

It is easy to promise a chicken in every pot and get the masses to vote for you, but actually providing that chicken and that pot is something else..

You can throw in as many links to obfuscate that issue.. But the Realities of this post and this President is he is way over his head.

Can he recover..? YES..

Will he..? I doubt it.. He is too stuck on himself.
