In Barack we trust?

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

    In Obama we Trust another Democrat

    Since the mid-1950s Democrats have ruled America. Yeah! For almost 8years the Republicans had a cup of coffee, but were lied about as having been in for years and years. Obama? Obama is a Democrat by proxy. Why should I trust him?

    Forget the racial thing. I'd have trouble figuring it out for myself. Democrats are beging to lose that argument. With Obama no one cares. Of Barry can get Mr. Bill and Hillary to keep the "Bimbo Eruptions" down ; He might make it through an 8 year term. (No I'm not accusing him of anything, but he's got a lid on the American Public and Chicago for some unhealthy reason.)

    Well, back toi the question do I trust Obama? Bo, I can't honestly can't say that I trust Obama. It's not because he's Black. It's not my fear of a Socialist takeover, his mention of a Civilian Security force which answers only to him (His SA and SS or so it looks) or even his inacurate reporting of his College days * Notice I did not say wrong or false I said inaccurte. The did npt say he was as good as he actually was. I can't trust him simply because he is a Democrat. And Democrats are taxation happy and will do anything to legally get your dollar or fifteen cents. If they can't do it onr way they'll lie.
