In Barack we trust?

Obama campaigned on his personality and judgment and won. Now, like it or not, he isn't beholden to anyone.

    @ rambling rose

    Again, with the "Obama hasn't done anything much his entire life" crock of bullshit.

    You are plainly just lazy and uninformed. You have the time to sit at a keyboard and tap out this bullshit drivel but not the time to do a Google search and read about his pre politics years -- the dreaded 'community organizing' years.

    Ironically, I bet you're one of these people who likes to think of themselves as an intelligent and informed citizen. Or, "smart".

    To me, you just seem like a bitter idiot with an axe to grind - but I'm not going to bother to speculate on which axe.

    (Okay, fuck it, I will: you can spend your adult life helping the poor and black and the disenfranchised, but to some, I guess that really does translate into "doing nothing".)
