Exactly. Obama campaigned that his would be the most transparent presidency ever, and bring us together.

Instead, the court today dismissed his refusal to release documents relative to the fast and furious gun running deal, brushing aside his request for executive privilege.

Every class of American has been distanced from the next, by his campaign to "redistribute wealth".

I expect demonstrators to use the simple connection of tea bag with teabaggers, but I don't expect my Congress man, let alone the President to act that way.

Being good at calling others names isn't a legacy fit for any President.

It's really scary you actually believe the shit you spew.

Looking at what shuts down and what doesn't gives me a sense of how skewed our priorities have become. Let's see, Vet call centers close, WIC shuts down, small number of Head Start programs close, NIH research disrupted, CDC outbreak tracking hampered, but at least Homeland Security keeps chugging along.

Look it up Bruce. It's in Obama's speeches. Of course, when Bush raised the debt ceiling, Senator Obama called it "a failure of leadership", etc.

When he continues to raise the debt ceiling, it's perfectly fine. When he can't get his way on any matter, he blames it on Republican leaders, the Tea Party, the House, ultra conservatives, hard line conservatives, etc. Everybody but him.

What's he doing? Running guns into Mexico - saying he had nothing to do with it, but claims executive privilege when data on the program is subpoenaed. Huh?

Our consulate in Benghazi is attacked with explosives, mortars, squad level machine guns, and fire bombs. He goes to bed, knowing that the military can't approve any rescue, without his direct approval.

Then he has his flunky Susan Rice on FOUR major news shows, telling how it was a video demonstration. That's not what the CIA reported to him.

Time after time, speech after speech, he has slurred the character of those who have money. He doesn't call them bastards or anything, but he slurs them, nonetheless, repeatedly. That justifies his efforts to steal from them, and give it to someone else.

He tells us on the Tonight Show, that the feds don't spy on us. A few days later, the next leak comes out, proving that yes, the Feds are spying on us, and they're spying on us both overseas (which we knew), but also inside the US., and on a massive scale never seen before.

Aren't you weary of all his lies? I sure am. I expected a lot better than this, out of Obama. I expect politicians to lie - it goes with the job, from time to time, but he's really carried it far beyond what I was hoping for.

I know that, and I'm not happy that he's followed the same path as previous presidents, but the half-truths and flat out bullshit you repeat from talk radio has no bearing on anything that's going on in congress.
