His choices have not been surprising.

It was becoming increasingly clear, as we learned who he really was over the last couple of years, that while the press focused on his charisma, they were ignoring the important character flaws.

His duplicity in his rhetoric did not match his record.

The media downplayed or rationalized his radical positions, yet, so far he has wasted little time in implementing them.

While three of his major nominees are now history, three that were confirmed look equally bad.

Giethner is a joke in his own Treasury department.
The tax cheat charged with enforcing the tax collection system!

Holder as Attorney General, a man who was instrumental in pardoning criminals with political friends, and terrorists for graft!

Hillary "the rotten" Clinton involved in scandal after scandal and beholden to the countries she must confront to represent our interests!

We have had weak presidents before, but this is the first that gave me the feeling he was lying when he swore to uphold the Constitution.

This man is still a stranger, even among his supporters, and though I think we know what he wants to do (impose government control wherever he can and funnel money to his support networks in the name of helping people- but really for his own ulterior motives) we have no real feeling on what he is capable of doing in a pressing crisis.

Our countries strength gives us a buffer of sorts, but in an age of instantaneous world-wide technology and rouge nations threats of using WMD preemptively to destroy foes, we cannot feel too secure.

History shows how minor incidents can escalate quickly into major crisis and the president-in-training relies on an Ivy League professors socialistic views of world reality.

This all leaves one wondering if Obama is the epitome of the Peter Principle, or even if his loyalty is truly to this country at all!

We are only entering week three and already India has warned us,Iran has warned us ,the Eu has warned us, Russia has warned us, and Al-queda has warned us, all for their various reasons.

He has weakened our war on terror with some stubborn moves aimed at constituents rather than protecting the country, and he has attacked some public American celebrities but he sure hasn't done anything dazzling or great.

Oh yea, his least popular move of all his culture of death on the "non-entities" carried in wombs!
Catholics who voted for him overwhelmingly are now feeling duped!

The war on fetuses is of utmost importance, while KSM in gitmo laughs in our faces!

How 75% of Jews could vote for Israels destruction is beyond me, and he will be no friend of theirs and hasten their demise.

To sum it all up our enemies are laughing,the press is still stoned, his own party is cringing and the normal Americans and freedom loving people the world over are holding on, waiting for the other shoe to drop, and all hell to break loose!

Hi,Lib. I'm guessing, although I don't know, that you are not Jewish. Doesn't mean you can't speak about issues that concern Jews, of course. However, to say that voting for Obama was voting for the "destruction of Israel" is preposterous. Like Trotsky, I am Jewish. However, I am not sanguine about a theocratic state that brutally discriminates against a large portion of its population in the name of some kind of "divine right" to the land.

So I guess you and Seth see clearly while everyone else (except the folks at Fox and Rush Limbaugh) are deluded.

Actually, Obama really can't do much to fix the messes that he has been bequeathed. It would require changing the system and that, he is not about to do. You right wing guys are just soooo pissed off that he is popular, and able to string a couple of sentences together coherently without a teleprompter and without wetting himself (unlike W.).

The idea that Obama is more corrupt, bankrupt, beholden to special interests, etc., than W. is preposterous -- and you guys must know that on some level.

***I'm guessing, although I don't know, that you are not Jewish.
No, I am not,(though my name and circumcision status might provide cover, LOL) however, I have never understood the anti-Semitic attitude one iota.
Judaism is just like any other religion, the members run the gambit from Orthodox, to non-practicing. Members are good and bad, tall and short, old and young, rich and poor, educated and not. To hate them- or love them, as a group is non-nonsensical.

***"You right wing guys are just soooo pissed off that he is popular,"

Not true in my case at all. I am worried not angry.
His popularity though is dropping fast, by the way.

***"Actually, Obama really can't do much to fix the messes that he has been bequeathed."

This is exactly the type of problem that you socialists dream of, as it provides the excuse to implement the changes you wish to effect, changes that the people do not normally accept.
They do not seem to be accepting them now either!

Lev, I think you should have a revolution with yourself.... and become a freedom loving capitalist-
it doesn't hurt at all!

As a proud and unapologetic liberal, though no left-wing extremist,I find your comments about the allegedly poor choices of Obama to be the sheerest hypocrisy.
And George W Buch's choices were better,free from scandal and paragons of virtue? What a laugh ! Bush basically chose cronies for important posts, not people with REAL qualifications. No wonder his presidency was such a catastrophe for this country and the world.
I'm not sayingt that Obama and his cabinet choices are perfect,but they're certainly a vast improvement over the previous administration.

As a proud and unapologetic liberal,though anything but a left-wing extremist, I find your claims the height of hypocrisy. Bush's choices for key posts were better? Come on. His choices were based on cronyism and not REAL qualifications. And they were guilty of rampant corruption,too. No wonder the previous administration was such a disaster for America and the world.
Obama's choices may not be perfect, but they're infinitely preferable to the previous administration. Enough demonization of Obama.Give the poor man a chance to do his job.

"As a proud and unapologetic liberal, though no left-wing extremist,I find your comments about the allegedly poor choices of Obama to be the sheerest hypocrisy."

I see liberals who are ignorant and are only Democrats because the family has "always been", or left-wing extremists who usually have one burning issue and a selfish reason for deciding they are liberals.

The left has become decidedly anti-American from A-Z on the issues.

You should read about just how wonderful they are at this site and than decide if you are proud to be a liberal!

This section of DiscoverTheNetworks examines Barack Obama's connections to a number of key individuals and organizations. In some cases, these affiliates are notable for the leftist views and objectives they share with Obama. In other cases, they are notable for their collaboration with Obama in controversial or unethical activities. In all cases, they offer a window into Barack Obama's values and priorities. Taken as a whole, they verify Thomas Sowell's observation that Obama has "spent decades aiding and abetting people who hate America."
