He has spent the first half of his term criss crossing the country selling the agenda. He explained it extremely clearly, but it was a NO SALE.
I wonder if he really believes what he's saying or if he is delusional.

Constantly complaining that you ‘inherited this mess’ is not selling your product. Of course, once the folks saw that your product was sugar coated meadow muffins, that made your job even harder.

He’s as deranged as any dictator in history. At some point, an insider will spill the truth in order to save the country. God willing, early enough to get him impeached.

Well, I guess he would consider Jim Jones a successful leader.

***”Making an argument that people can understand,” Mr. Obama continued, “I think that we haven’t always been successful at that.***
Ah, but you have, Mr. Resident, and we understood you. That’s why we voted against your Deathcare and abortion and higher taxes.

I wonder if he really believes what he's saying or if he is delusional. The answer is: yes and yes. The two are not mutually exclusive. In fact, most delusional people deeply believe what they are saying.

We got the message, Barky, loud and clear.
To: randita
He's not a leader.
He's a dictator-wannabe.
And he's pissed.

Maybe if he would appear on TV six or seven times a day we would understand. One or two times a day aren’t doing it.
To: randita
I'm brilliant.
I'm articulate.
I constantly appear on TV, telling people about my policies.
But I guess that my message didn't get through.
I have no choice but to conclude that you people are clueless and unable to accept reality.
To: randita
When you vote on stuff that you haven't even read, it's pretty clear you have no idea what you are doing.
Just following the party marching orders isn't leadership either.
This is the most disgraceful, irresponsible congress ever!
Quote of the year: "Just pass it, then we'll find out what it's about"
No wonder they all got fired.

All of us who GOT the message, voted to reject it.
The ones who DID NOT get the message, elected O in the first place and STILL support him.

1. They didn't quite inherit it --they were the main cause --though Bush with his Compassionate Conservatism spending didn't help
2. Nobody forced him to spend $$$$$$$ to get elected If he wasn't up to the job he should have stayed in the senate

Leadership isn’t legislation,
and forcing unwanted garbage thru Congress against the will of the people isn’t even legislation.
Botox Nancy and Bammy tried to rule and reign.

To: randita
He really believes that Americans will buy anything as long as it’s packaged attractively and sold aggressively. After all, they bought HIM, didn’t they? What he doesn’t realize is that it only works with people who have no underlying principles to begin with. If your only priority is “get what you can” then sure, legislation is like any other product being sold on the shelves and if you can convince the consumer that they desperately need a cheese grater and some Ginsu knives for three easy payments, then great. But he doesn’t understand that many of us have underlying principles that preclude a simple get-what-you-can mentality. And you cannot sell a cheese grater to someone who knows they’ve poisoned all the cheese.
