55. TV SHOW (fictional drama category)
""WRONG - Obama stated that he would let tax cuts for the rich expire. That's what he doing. period.""

Obama said he was going to rescind the cuts in his first year. As soon as he got in office he said, "we can't do it in this recession" BS, it would help get us out of recession.

""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.""

It's a closed door deal, just like his one with big pharma, we have yet to see what's going to happen.

"WRONG - Pres. Obama is doing exactly what he'd say he would do, period."

he said he was going to get out of Iraq, he hasn't. He's escalated Afghanistan. There's no reason to be there, I don't care what he said, it's wrong. Killing civilians is not going to stop terror, it's going to escalate it, of course that's what the warmongers that own Obama want.

"CORRECT Congress refused to fund its closure (gitmo), and Obama is still working for a way to get it done,"

patriot act "it passed both houses of Congress by a majority that would overturn a veto"

funny how when it's something good like meaningful health care reform or closing Gitmo Obama is meek as a church mouse. And when it's defense appropriations suddenly he's strong arming dems and getting his bill rammed through. When it comes to something good for the working class or rights, OBAMA SUDDENLY DOESN'T TRY VERY HARD.

""And there is a very significant difference with the Bush signing statements and the few that this President has done, ""

Obama said there was going to be NO MORE signing statements.

republicans insiders appointed to banking positions

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

Geitner and Bernanke are REPUBLICANS, the criminal banking sector is still in place, none of the bad rules that allowed the biggest theft in history have been changed, it's business as usual. In addition they are both total insiders which Obama promised not to appoint. Gates at defense is also a republican appointed by a republican.

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

"WRONG That statement is not true,"

Gates at defense, was originally appointed by bush, Gitmo unchanged, protection for wiretappers unchanged, tax cuts for the rich unchanged, criminal banking unchanged. Hey Obama got $700 BILLION for a few hundred of his criminal banker friends and is now offering a whopping $1.5 Billion for the millions of foreclosed homeowners. Goldman Sachs was Obama's 2nd largest contributor at $996,000. It paid off in the $BILLIONS.

""WRONG NO, they don't expect the same results, and they are not getting the same results.""

they are getting the exact results that the corporations want. In the run-up to the final Senate health care "reform" bill, big insurance lobbied like never before. Near the end the lobbying suddenly stopped because the corporations had the bill they wanted. They even sent a message to the press, "we win". Then Obama said, "this is the bill we need to pass", the one that the corps had just successfully lobbied for.

""We all don't live in that world.""

You mean the one where you think the ObamaRahma "We Are Change" (corporate sponsored) TV show is real? No some of us recognize it as FICTION.
