Again you're sharper than this. Partisanship will never end . . . ever. Clearly what he is saying is party domination and bull headedness. This will prove to be tough in a Dem House and Senate but . . . .

It's like the slow kids in dodge ball . . . you feel sorry for them . . . they want to be good and they want to get picked on your team . . . you give them some confidence and they shine a little bit for you . . .

Prior to 2006 the Reps ran Congress and conducted themselves as a secret society working deals in back rooms and steamrolling the Dems. Now the Dems have done it . . . . Now Obama wants everyone to work for the common good and end their far left OR right party agendas.

I believe the word is compromise . . . .

What are you the guy at the carnvial? I don't presume to infer what people mean - I go by what they say. Considering this (and the Embassy comment; as well as two new bases by 2012 which is information anyone can look up and has been presented in the news so the United States will be in Iraq for some time despite what our President said during his campaign) very clear and direct comment was not phrased in any way metaphorical but designed to gain votes I call it a lie. Or an exaggeration. Obama is pretty good speaker - he should've and could've been more clear. I know he never thought he would end partisanship or leave Iraq - but he said it. In fact: if you have a minute go to youtube and type in Obama voters and you will see what people believe from he said during his campaign if you don't believe me. It is quite scary how easily people can be manipulated.

No question he said it clearly but those of us with an Edumacashion know what he meant. You're painting those of us that did vote for him as though we hung on every word . . . most of us didn't an knew what he meant.

Listen I know politicians can not and will not deliver on a lot they say they will . . . My wife duped me . . . I thought marriage was going to take the hunt out of getting laid . . . no dice . . . Look for my wife to run in 2012 she's got bait and switch down

Anyway . . . Not All of us drank the Kool-Aid

If you want, start a "What McCain Said While My Wife Is Not Screwing Me" thread and I will be sure to pop on in and comment . . . but as far as what Mr. Obama said in the most expensive campaign in United States history, yeah - I am holding him to it. And everyone should . . . for every politician elected to any office. I'll be fair, what specifically did he promise in his campaign that you think he will deliver on? Not "try" to deliver on. Not "well, I can't do it now but, by golly, I really wanted to at the time" deliver on . . . give me something. Anything. Please.

I think I am alone here when I say that this country does not need to be "healed" every four years. All this "change" promised might sound great but in all honesty I think the United States does not need to be changed or fixed. People love to hear it, though. "Hope" for what? Every time Obama said we ran a campaign on "hope" I wondered what he meant. Am I going to get a big basket of Obama Brand "Hope" delivered to my front porch . . . while our President is out healing things? Explain it
to me.

C'mon I give you credit for being smarter than this statement. We all can safely understand he meant MILITARY presence. Troops on every corner - tanks making wide rights when the signs clearly say no right hand camel turns on red . . . . We'll never physically leave Iraq . . . We've got embassies everywhere it does not mean we occupy a country . . .

Chris, one thing I've seen in the political threads this year is that to a lot of the liberals here, not all of them but a lot, the idea of political give and take means "We give, you take." And that's BS. If you gonna dish it out you gotta expect people to fire back.

That's why I think it's time to see Political Threads banned on BN....the election is over, neither side can play by the rules of being fair to opposing views....they're divisive and in no way close to Buffetty. Their negativity seeps into other threads,
and ruin the vibe of the entire Forum.
Just my 2 cents
