15. And DADT was never going to be over turned ... and Obama was never going to

get us out of Iraq.

And after DADT was overturned, the DU prediction was that Obama would slow walk and delay it so that it never really happened.

When did Obama promise to jail Bush and Cheney? I don't recall him promising that. I also don't recall him promising to jail Wall St.

And the PO was never going to pass, the votes on the Democratic side did not exist.

Again ... the prediction that Obama is going to gut Social Security and Medicare have sounded over and over and over here on DU. Your claim that its about to happen is just the latest in a long string.

It was going to be announced in the state of the Union in 2010. Was going to be in his 2010 budget. It was going to happen as part of the 2010 lame duck. Was going to be in his 2011 budget. Was going to happen during the Debt ceiling last summer.

And now, the same predictions are happening again. And when it doesn't happen. The predictors will go quiet for a while. And then pop back up in a few months with the same amorphous predictions.
