37. Bunch of bullshit you typed there......
"I don't think this country could survive more tax cuts for the rich,"
the bush tax cuts are still in place despite Obama's promise that getting rid of them was going to be the first thing he did.

WRONG - Obama stated that he would let tax cuts for the rich expire. That's what he doing. period.



"more cuts in government programs,"
Obama just did a closed door deal to cut medicare, medicaid and social security.

WRONG - Obama's budgets have increased most expenditures in many Government programs. As for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, there hasn't been any cuts made to any of them. If you are so uniformed as to what the Medicare cuts mean that Obama is discussing (they don't mean fewer benefits), then you need to stop typing and start reading information so you can learn what is actually going on. As for Medicare, the President wants to raise the taxable Cap on the richest among us. so there goes your doesn't want to tax the rich, and wants to "cut" medicare theory!



"more wars"
Obama has not taken us out of Iraq and he's escalated Afghanistan

WRONG - Pres. Obama is doing exactly what he'd say he would do, period. There are not "MORE" wars. There is the winding down of one, and an actual strategy in place for the other, neither are wars that he started, but they will be wars he ends.



"all of the other crap"
Gitmo still open for business -

CORRECT Congress refused to fund its closure, and Obama is still working for a way to get it done, IN SPITE of a Congress and scary Americans who are easily manipulated by the GOP and our Media.



Bush justice dept still in place

Don't know about that I don't personally think so, but that's up to opinion, and not enough time has elapse to make such a conclusion, unless you simply want to.




Telecoms not accountable for wiretap
- See below



Patriot Act re-upped

CORRECT - Re-upped for one year as it passed both houses of Congress by a majority that would overturn a veto, and would certainly do so in an election year, leaving the Patriot Act re-upped, no matter the President's actions.




Signing statements still in effect

you are out of date on this. And there is a very significant difference with the Bush signing statements and the few that this President has done, but you knew that....I would hope.



republicans insiders appointed to banking positions

This doesn't make any sense to me, so you will have to get more specific. thanks



"They seem to want to do the same things Bush did and expect different results."

WRONG That statement is not true, no matter how much you twist all that you twist in order to get there. You can be mad, disappointed, and not want to support this President, but that still wouldn't make that statement true.



No they expect the same results, they just tell you there's going to be different results and expect you to believe it.

WRONG NO, they don't expect the same results, and they are not getting the same results.....except to those who choose to believe this because in their world, unless is it as they have decided it should be, than it is all the same. We all don't live in that world....so you can say the things you say, but it doesn't make them true.
