Obama = Epic Failure - Updated Daily for your convenience!

first this guy blows the budget with a worthless stimulus bill. then he throws
more borrowed money at home owners who were irresponsible. he expands the schip program even though the federal government is broke. now he
wants to talk about getting rid of deficit spending! could this piss poor
schizophrenic attorney from Chicago be anymore moronic? oh...i forgot...he still wants
to have universal health care. and he believes by raising taxes on the so called rich
and punishing US corporations with higher tax rates(now that
will create more jobs) is the way to do it. i want to call him something
nasty but this will suffice.......OBAMA=EPIC FAILURE

Uh, these are all the things he campaigned on. And he won. Can't see how doing them is his epic failure. I would say the epic failure is the right's for not convincing the rest of us that cutting taxes just one more time will fix it all.

The problem with your statement is that out of the 54% of those who voted for him, a good number of those HAVE NO CLUE and did not care what he stood for. All they wanted was a vote AGAINST the Republican party.

Tax cuts are always needed until all taxes are abolished.

Everything else is fluff.

I love the cry of the Republican in denial. "Stay the course" is a fine Republican strategy as far as I'm concerned. And Steele's hip-hop initiative. A little gangsta anti-tax rap is brilliant. It's the medium, not the message. Right.

Judging by our current President I would say clearly yes.

it's amazing to read about all these HUGE ponzi scams getting caught w/ madoff and recently allen stanford. has anyone thot about the BIGGEST PONZI scam of all that's in front of our very eyes - aka current social security system.
Take money from new people to pay the prior guys...the money was never invested top get what it deserved, the balances were not real, and the future guys will likely not get paid what they were promised?
p.s. As for Obama, don't believe what he says and just watch what he does. His policies, appointments, and decisions have been far, far left. Not defending Bush/past, but i do believe in Republican philosophy of smaller government.

well he campaigned on no lobbyist, more open government, and zero earmarks. so far he failed on the small things as well. if he had an
ounce of understanding of who creates jobs and longterm growth
he would have never signed that fraud of a stimulus bill.

the sad part about convincing people that tax cuts for business are the way
is this.....it is a lot easier to hand people some borrowed money and lie
to them and say everything is going to be alright.

here is list of failures to date.....

appointing tax cheats.....and then saying they did it by mistake.
appointing lobbyist after saying he would not.
appointing a person with zero intelligence experience to run the CIA.
allowing ear marks in his fraudulent stimulus bill.
saying he is going to close Guantanamo without a place to put those nice terrorist.
expanding schip to include people with incomes of 61k+.
his fraudulent stimulus bill. pork pork and more pork.
a trillion dollars with...trust me a trillion more to come.
now saying he is going to cut deficit spending while at the same
time predicting trillion dollar deficits for years to come!
oh yeah...he is going to give all of us government run healthcare....
...great. so the 85% of us who have better private care are
now going to be forced into an f'ed up government program.
oh.....how about the market...down 2000 points. do you still
think his economic policies are being well received?

so yes...what we have is EPIC FAILURE. while our under qualified
President is busy destroying our economy and the future for
millions of Americans under the age of 10(robbing their piggy bank)
our enemies are still out there.....plotting to destroy us. but.....maybe
he will be successful at one thing....destroying us before they get
their chance.

Great points on the other things, but I figured I would add to this one.

He recently stated that he agrees with lawyers from the Bush Administration on prisoners held in Afghanistan and that they have no Constitutional rights there, but yet they do somehow in Guantanamo?

true. amazingly he has backed off of some of his crazy left wing rhetoric when it comes to dealing with the real world. funny.....how different a
persons perspective becomes when the buck stops with them
i wonder what the far left
thinks of some of these positions.....because all they did was attack Bush
for the same positions for 7 years.

lets see if Obama allows crazy nancy and her ilk to attack the people who
designed some of these policies? he will find his hands are truly tied then.

And , meanwhile, the liberal fanatics look the other way when their guy does the same thing they criticized Bush and his bunch for. I'll never forget all those hypocrites at the other forum who b^tched and griped for 8 years what a failure Bush was, how he spent our great-grandchildren into debt. Now that Obama, aka Nickoli Carpathia, has taken over, he brings his orgasmic religious experience to the motivationally starved Democratic Party by spending even more money than his predecessor. But, that's okay because the new Messiah has ordered it and he says it will work. Forget about the times spending our way out of recession has been tried and it failed, miserably.
How many campaign promises has he broken already?

Agreed. He must have had his fingers slightly crossed during the oath.

Exactly!

Let's do a quick summary:

1) Phony swear-in.
2) 4 Tainted nominations endorsed by him
3) First TV interview was done on Arab TV

...and of course, that nagging phake birth certificate, when he was really born in Indonesia and not "Hawaii". LOL

That's what happens when Liberals vote on skin color and not proven abilities

You're truly clueless if you think this can be blamed on Bush.

Because Justice Roberts ****ed up the NATIONAL swearing in. In an abundence of caution, the Messiah had the sense to be re-sworn so that the flakes and whack jobs of MBWorld would not be able to challenge his constitutionl authority.

If Obama is an epic failure having attained the presidency, what does that make some punk from Scranton PA? A quadruple epic failure?
When you have something to add that is not counter-productive, I believe that ppl wil listen to what you have to say. But not until then.

George Bush? no no no. The American people created the problem along with poor banking system, Fannie and Freddy.
People need to know their kown how much they can and can't afford. If they dont and they go to bank looking for a loan when they dont make much as is then the banks should tell them they are not qualified.
