Well then you really should tell that guy at fivethirtyeight. com because he has been predicting things with incredible accuracy, based on polls. He predicted the electoral college results, among other things.

And I am not alone. Something tells me that for 20 years after he dies, Crawford will be famous for its green, healthy grass.
Dubya is moving to North Dallas, right by Perot and the other rich folk.

I have no idea what's to be done with the Crawford place. But feel free to send the fertilizer down this way.

I admit I wished many times that something would happen to get his ass out of office, or that someone would wipe that smirk off his face. I can't stand him either. Him or any of his little posse. And he is the one who polarized the country, by his egomaniacal attitude. Good fucking riddance.

That's certainly fair... as long as you're holding him the promises he made, and not your interpretation of what you think he meant.

I think Obama has been doing very well in keeping his promises so far. Hell, the man hasn't been in office for a month yet. Some of those promises will take time. But from the looks of it, he intends to keep as many of them as he can.

Hell it would be hard not to be doing ok since "the man hasn't been in office for a month yet." But he has broken two minor ones already. Like I said before, not a big deal but....

Who cares if he's been in office a year or a day? His cabinet picks alone condemn him. I mean, I understand Clinton, he had to keep a third of the Democratic Party happy, but DASCHLE? TOM FUCKING DASCHLE? What the hell is THAT?

And then this stimulus thing.

Nope. Obama is the same old face.

I said they were minor, but since you asked. He broke his "five-day pledge" twice with SCHIP and the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in the same week.

Quote:
Obama’s 5 p.m. signing came barely three hours after the House approved the bill, breaching Obama’s promise to have a five-day period of “sunlight before signing,” as he detailed on the campaign trail and on his website.

“The Obama-Biden campaign website states. “As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.
Quote:
Obama signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act only two days after it received final passage last week, and it wasn’t posted on the White House website until after it became law.

Politifact.com, a project of the St. Petersburg Times that tracks Obama’s campaign promises, says the five-day rule is the only pledge he has broken outright.

On the Ledbetter Act, the website wrote: “We recognize that Obama has been in office just a week, but he was very clear about his plan for a five-day comment period, and we can’t see why this one needed to be rushed. It is somewhat ironic that with the same action, Obama both keeps and breaks a campaign promise.”

A White House spokesman refused to comment on the matter.
