Well said! Needed to be said. Nothing at all in this that is in anyway ambiguous. Frankly, with the quote used, it wouldn't matter what context it was made. It's pretty damn clear what is being said and what it means.
During the first term I was disappointed. I was told repeatedly, "wait until his second term. Then he can accomplish what he promised." So, I did. Not that there was much of choice.
Well, here we are in the second term and I'm more disappointed than I was during the first.
Grow some balls and be the man we elected.
thanks for saying this, 20Score!

That Obama quote ProSense Jun 2013 #14
What you wrote and quoted doesn't address the post. 20score Jun 2013 #15
Yes, it does. The quote ProSense Jun 2013 #16
Not implying, I said it. 20score Jun 2013 #17
You used the quote out of context, and applied it to the current program. n/t ProSense Jun 2013 #18
No I didn't. It absolutely applies. Damn, you just don't give up no matter what the facts are. 20score Jun 2013 #19
The facts are that the quote isn't about the current program and it's used out of context. n/t ProSense Jun 2013 #20
What he said was unambiguous. He doesn't say or imply that he will spy on us 20score Jun 2013 #21
You have ProSense Jun 2013 #22
