Is it to early to say i told you so about Obama?

pjalive21

the wheels are already starting to fall off and we havent even hit inaugaration...way to do the research people before voting for him

Rahm Immanuel...enough said

Leon Panetta (CIA Chief of Staff)...Mr. CIA budget cuts that will do absolutely nothing to help prevent terrorism or gather information

Obama planning to end Bush defense techniques that have prevented a terror attack on our soil in 7 years just so he looks more favorable to other countries

Dems announcing today they are jumping ship from Obama's proposed tax cuts

Obama sending more troops instead of bringing them home

see the pattern..i could keep going but i dont want to put all the eggs in the basket before the man is actually president

if you want to add more...feel free

You do have some really good points, however just can't image what nonsense McCain would have done...

pjalive21

Yes - it is too early. But give it 90 days to 6 months and people will see all the hype was over the status quo.

he wants to print new money to dole it out to all of us in the hopes we'll go on spending sprees, and he thinks he is working for us? somehow I doubt putting us in deeper debt will do us any good. If he wants to do something right he would do a one time bailout....for the homeowners, not the banks. Pay off the homes that are behind and/or going into foreclosure. Not fair to those who have to continue paying their mortgages, but it's a means to an end. The banks get their money, we have extra money to start spending again, and even more bailouts in the future won't be necessary.

UPDATE::::

he just nominated Tim Geithner to be Secretary of the Treasury, who owes the IRS over a million dollars for not paying taxes two years in the early 2000's...he also has ties to Chiquita, yes the banana company that has be funding terrorism (AUC) with money and guns to protect its workers from being attacked while working...i guess this is the "change" B.O. was talking about

Is it too early to say "Give him a freaking chance before you jump down his throat, or at least give him a single solitary day in the oval office before assuming he's going to be a train wreck"?

vduboise

yes- it is too early. He hasn't done anything yet!!! He can't do anything until he is in office.

I agree- give it 90 days to see what steps/moves/decisions he's making- then give an opinion.

So once he is sworn in, is that when he is going to rip off the suit to reveal cleric robes and put a turban on his head?

Give the guy a chance to accomplish something. I'm sure all of Bush's appointments were squeaky clean back in 2000. :roll:

For real , He's coming in at an opportune time to get some things done. Allow him the space to do what he's going to do.

I just find it amusing that people are already ready for Obama to fail. Way to be an optimist. Do they just want to be able to say "I told you so"? Or is it just sour grapes because their boy and his she-devil sidekick, or their 3rd party candidate who didn't receive enough votes to win mayor in a town of 15 people didn't win?

Give the man 100 days.....I agree that some of the shine is rubbing off with losing picks....Hilldog....and the Treasury guy...which someone dropped the ball on during background checks.

WaveCameCrashin

if he fails we all fail

Wait... so, you lambast people who voted for Obama... because they 'didn't do their research' on him before the election... and you didn't and don't support McCain, right?
Who did you vote for... Ralph Nader or Stephen Colbert?

adropinthepark

I'm guessing it will always be too early.

Flutter Girl

bananas..yucky..too sweet and mushy.

Obama was already given a chance. He promised 'change we can believe in' (yea used the same slogan when running for senator)...namely he promised lowering taxes. Once in office, he never lowered them. He voted often to raise them, tho

It's not like he's coming from nowhere with no record to show us what kind of politician he is.

that's typical orwellian. remember george bush 1 saying "read my lips-no new taxes". yeah he raised them. all politicians do that shit.

what got so many people behind Obama is that he promised diplomacy insteded of bombs. he promised to work for main street instead of wall street. and on, he ran on a great platform/.


his picks in his cabinet have me worried, but to answer the op, YES it is too early to say I told you so. if he bombs Iran or signs another gazillion dollar bailout to wallstreet we can tell him to fuck off, but as it is, he isn't even prez yet.

I say give him a chance.
