I hope that you didn't really have an expectation that Obama wouldn't let Lobbyists serve in his administration.

Lowering expectations, 1 at a time!

but but but people wanted change! ... I wonder if they wanted him to change so soon...?

What's your point? Do you really plan to get a righty circle jerk going every time Obama doesn't conform 100% to his campaigning? Here's a clue: Change doesn't mean change everything and it doesn't have to happen right now. The country and most of the world is in a bad situation. It's not going to turn around overnight. Speaking of change, you known the change I liked? The rest of the fucking world celebrating the election of Obama instead of burning our flag. How many days until 1/20/09 when we through the worst administration in history out of power?

Radical flag burning jihadists are celebrating Obama's victory?

You would have a point if it was just radical jihadists that burned our flag.

Edit: You ignored my point about much of the world celebrating Obama's election too. How many foreign countries were celebrating Bush's victory in 2004?

I have no idea. I presume it was a fair number in 2000, and I know he's pretty popular in India for promoting free trade. Just went there recently.

So who else burns our flag? Do you think they're America's allies?

48% of Europeans viewed America negatively even in 2000.

If you support the GOP there is absolutely no way you can criticize Obama for not holding up to all his promises.

Where the fuck were you the last 8 years? Your party damn near destroyed the fabric of this nation. May you never gain power again, never again.

You don't have to support the GOP to criticize Obama for not holding up his promises.

This thread delivers.

Obama is the man for change vote for him. Now that he cant deliver nor is willing to make that change he is a man of pragmatism so we should vote for him.

Can do no wrong!

He never said he cannot deliver the goals he has set forth. All that he is trying to do here is the same thing that both him and McCain have been trying to do over the past few months. That is, convince the people that this shit takes time and that's the bottom line. Where is the problem?

A reporter straight up told obama he won't be able to deliver on the majority of his campaign promises, and obama took his rhetoric up a notch by saying we will see "progress" on education, health care, taxes, and the war by the end of his first term. You really can't get much more vague then that. this gives obama an out when the most minuscule gains are seen in those areas.
