About Obama...you are kidding, right?

Mr. Obama has created a new catchphrase "...I inherited...". Just pick from any subject, policy, or negative situation and attach it to the new excuse for failure. Obama is still acting like a boy. Maybe he'll grow up and take responsibility someday....responsibility that has consequences other than just walking from one TV camera to another at your expense.

Why does it seem like Liberals are spending more time and energy explaining why Obama is justified in failing

instead of making even a small admission that their Super Hero can't leap the buildings he promised to

leap in a single bound during his campaign.....?

I would think by now a majority of those that fell for American Idol Washington DC last November and voted for Obama

are silently regretting having done so. But I guess we'd need a major time out, a white room, and sodium pentothal to prove it....

Just read Obama's two books and then see if you're still a follower. This is more trunnk to tail political commentary, it reminds me of the elephants in the circus, the leader turns and they all follow, perhaps lennings would be a more appropriate animal to compare them with.

To quote the French President, "President Obama is a naive egomaniac" Obama lacks the gravitas to be President. He is the first person to hold the office with zero executive experience. Every problem he has tried to solve in the last year has gotten worse.

If memory serves me correctly, everytime a Democrat gets into office there are a lot of regrets by voters afterwards. LBJ who was the one that escalated the Viet Nam war, lost favor in his own party real quick. Jimmy Carter who gave away the Panama Canal who became popular amongst Latin Americans but lost favor here at home. Bill "I'll screw anything that moves" Clinton, who was a proven liar and moral degenerate by his involvement with Monica Lewinsky.

There have been some real winners from the Democratic party. As a matter of fact Websters should change the definition of "Democrat" to "Demolition", demolition of personal morals and responsibilities, demolition of personal wealth, demolition of a strong military, Demolition of jobs, demolition of family values. I could go on but whats the point.

In recent years our Democrat and Republican parties have started to look like the same one. If we just read the policies and take out the years we can't tell who is conservative and who is liberal. For me I think it is time for REAL change. . . .no not the Obama "change" but a different voice, one of responability both from our elected leaders and ourselves.

Jon Green - I have searched and have found no such direct quote from French President Sarkozy...what is your source?

I have never witnessed a President that bashed his predecessor more than Obama has. This letter is a joke.

Associated Press. It was made after the UN meeting where Obama failed to join the French, Germans, and the UK in supporting sanctions on Iran. Lant, I believe you have the correct quote.

Jon - simple request...point me to the direct quote...I bet you can't.

Ah, all the "Venom connection" is well represented today. All of the usual suspects.

As usual as well, is that absolute denial of the past ?

Your HERO, Ronnie Regaan, milked the "inheritance line" for years after Carter left office.

If you were consistent in your perspectives you would be viewing Reagon as a wimp.

However, honesty and reality, never seem to be present in your respective arguments.

Obama has been in office, what 10 months? Yes, Obama now owns the problems present when he came into Office. He is not shirking responsibility for them. It comes with the territory.

I find it hilarious jongreen is giving any credence all at to the French President. Looking up to the Frenchie's? Hilarious!!!

chris - jon and lant can't even prove that Sarkozy said what they claim he said. Why is that?

Oh brother.... I was fully expecting to read a Clinton did ___ in the Oval Office reference. How long did George W blame the previous administration for his short fallings? I believe it was well into his second term.

This is what politicians do!

When the small minded populace wake up from their FAUX News induced coma of finger pointing and blind rage maybe they will realize this means absolutely nothing. Its one pee brained partisan hack espousing their ignorance. I'll talk slowly for some of you.

Bastiat: Here's the "Sarkozy quote" in context.

The quote comes from former Deputy Press Secretary for the Republican National Committee, Jack Kelly.

Kelly, appearing on Fox News, alleged that two of his "friends" said they think that "Sarkozy thinks that President Obama is incredibly naive and grossly egotistical, so egotistical that no one can dent his naïveté."

So a Republican propagandist on Fox News said that two of his anonymous friends said that President Sarkozy said that he thought that our Democratic president is egotistical.

I see.

Skeptic - I really appreciate your lucid explanation of the factual circumstances surrounding this "Fox Exclusive" Breaking News story. On another thread one of the more conservative posters (but not one of the bright ones) claimed he had seen a clip of Sarkozy making these statements on utube but that it had been pulled. He then suggested there was a Democratic conspiracy to hide this "proof" that Sarkozy said these things. Yeah....right....

I have no problem with folks having any opinion that suits them. I have a real problem with folks manufacturing "direct quotes" and stating factually incorrect information to support their opinion.

If you have to lie to make your opinion seem plausible perhaps you should re-evaluate your opinion.

chrishamm, who is "Reagon" the wimp? Or even "Ronnie Regaan", you seem to have a real problem with your hatred. You have denial of the past, it is part of your affliction.

Explain: Obama "He is not shirking responsibility for them". So far he has only made things worse.

Actions speak louder then words, Obama is great with words.

We have a bunch of elected officials on both sides that are paid by lobby money and they represent those lobbies, not the American taxpayer. Get over the divisiveness and figure it out that we don't have any reason to keep digging a deeper chasm between people.

Basitiat & Skeptic

Bravo. Keep up the good work against the FAUX News rage and vitriol.

banker - 11/19 at 9:18am - AGREED!!!!

Bastiat & Skeptic - is the supposed quote another example of the "people say" method of reporting? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYA9ufivbDw

Bastiat -

Conspiracy? I don't think so. It's still up:

"Sarkozy Says Obama Is Very Naive and Conceited" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwGCTvpOi1I&feature=player_embedded

kittyv - Good one. Nice example.

The "some people say" (or "they say," or "everyone knows," etc.) statement is doubly insincere. First, opinions can be pawned off as facts attributed only to some unnamed, anonymous third party, absolving the speaker of any responsibility for repeating them.

Second, the validity of the statement cannot be directly challenged because there is no identified source to challenge. It's a sneaky way to insert speculation or unsupported opinion into a presumably factual report.

Always ask, "who said?" or "where can I find it for myself?"
