In Barack we trust?

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

    Barack lied? Nooooooo!!!

    Barack Obama is just a good ol' politician, the sort that will say anything to get elected (a fact elaborated on in detail by the New Yorker, precisely on the issue with the "controversial" cover that some many Obama worshippers were contorting themselves about).

    I, however, feel glad because as a Clinton fan I can now say that we won anyway.

    And without making a single "CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN" donation!!!

    BTW, was Obama's aunt (the really elderly and infirm one, the super-poor one, the one that was on public assistance and that nonetheless donated like 2000+ to his campaign) deported back to Kenya or not?
