In Barack we trust?

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

    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.
