Original article: In Barack we trust?

Now I'm not sure

I voted for the man. Thought, Brother King's dream has come. We have made it. Now, I'm not sure. He keeps putting in Clinton excabinet members. I don't know about others but I paid out the nose while Clinton was President with his marrage penalty tax, tax on this, tax on that. I am just getting back on track and it is looking like it is all going to be ripped out again. What was I thinking? I know what, I was thinking he is black and that was it. He doesn't even have foregion affairs experience or even any progressive national experience or military experience. I know what I was thinking, the same as ever other person that voted for Obama and is black, he is one of our own. I didn't care if all his brothers birth cirtificates listed them as Arab, he was black and that was all that mattered. I hope I live to regret this blunder.

Original article: In Barack we trust?

he isn't beholden to anyone

If you think that statement is true, think again. His campaign had over $500m left over when he was elected. That kind of money, plus the money spent like 24/7 commercials about him on DISH network, is not money donated by Joe Blow or even Joe The Plummer. That's big time, possibly even foregion donations not listed (Illegal). Nope, big money was paid and big money will collect. Could even be the reason Clinton people are going back into office. We will get pulled out of Iraq and go back to thumping terrorist on the head, like in Bosina (we are still in Bosnia? YES) just as the Clinton bunglers did. Maybe even blow up another asprin plant or two. I am begining to think that this is going to be a big hands off certain groups not to be mention. Amy idiot that cannot see that is an idiot indeed. Big money gets what it wants when it has beeen paid for.

What's Obama hiding? ALOT

I think Obama knows more than he is lyinig about. He stutters too much to be straight up. Probably why the justice dept. isn't going after the guy untill after the swearing in. By the way, are they going to use a bible or karan for that?

I think my wife likes her male friend better

Mine is about the same. I notice she sends him alot of email and is constantly including him in conversations. When I went to her office a few days ago, I noticed she had a picture of him and her at some restaurant. This are of pics is supposedly used for pics of the kids. Went I went there I noticed it had been removed. Probably because I had called first this time. And yes, they do work in the same dept but in different areas.
