    Obama in office 3 years - Did you get your hope and change?
    Has had 3 years to fix economy, nothing yet.

    Has had 3 years to close Guantanamo, he has not.

    Promised to withdraw from Iraq by 2009, he did not.

    Look all Presidents promise shit and don't follow through, but don't tell me Obama is special.

    No different than the 8 years under W., frankly.

    President is an irrelevant figurehead now. Banks and big business are in more control than ever.

            The fact that anyone believes real change can come with a new president is just a pipe dream these days. Do you think it would've been any different under McCain? These guys are all just delivery boys.

                How do we know Yu Darvish won't be Dice-K as well?

                          The Massuchusetts Moderate has a good chance to defeat him. I will say in comparison to George W. - Obama got Bin Laden-0 Americans dead, lttle money spent. George W got Hussein- 5000 Americans dead, 40,000 wounded, 1 trillion spent.

                                  Obama's supporters are quiet as church mice about it too

                                  Point one: (Superficially) Remember how the Left were OUTRAGED because Bush played golf while troops were fighting & dying overseas ?

                                  Point two: Civil liberties under Bush were being eroded (Remember how the Left were OUTRAGED) Obama strong arms NDAA through Congress then signs it

                                  Could go on & on & on...

                                    They're doing exactly what our government wants them to do -- fighting amongst each other over two horrific presidents instead of questioning them both. You're taking the bait -- finger pointing and defending "your guy" (D or R) -- when neither are worth defending.

                                        Yeah, good point. But it comes to trust and the old adage that you do not rat out your own.

                                            All empires fall, democracy just a little quicker than others. Corruption and greed the most obvious reasons. History doesnt lie.

                                            Only way to 'change' anything is to change the whole system which cant happen because it is now too late. Too much money controlling policy. Only change can come through a revolution which in these times would end in an annihilation scenario. Besides with such a spread out and confused population revolution isnt even a realistic option. Another reason why thngs are the way they are. The people arent in aposition to change anything, but eventually the powers that be will cannibalize themselves. Hasnt failed yet.

                                              Couldn't agree more. But that's how most people are these days. They'd rather be "right" than fix the problems.

                                                    I think what is the problem here is a two party system stinks. We need more parties that will be for the people but these two parties are bought out by big business and they control both of them.

                                                      Only way to 'change' anything is to change the whole system which cant happen because it is now too late. Too much money controlling policy. Only change can come through a revolution which in these times would end in an annihilation scenario. Besides with such a spread out and confused population revolution isnt even a realistic option. Another reason why thngs are the way they are. The people arent in aposition to change anything, but eventually the powers that be will cannibalize themselves. Hasnt failed yet.

                                                                Nixon started it when he took us off the gold standard. It made wealth a meaningless term. Nothing had any basis after that. People could claim they were 'worth' all sorts of numbers because the only thing that they had to compare it to was the 'value' of something that didnt have ay value anymore. Sort of like sports betting in a way.

                                                                But once the dollar was only backed by its own reputation and then its strength against other currencies (which didnt have any backing either) it stared the chain of events that got us to where we are now.

                                                                Add in electronic transfers, internet and intellectual properties that dont even exist and them being sold for money that may or may not exist and the system is completely out of control.

                                                                Now it is just way too late. You cant start over. Thats what capitalism and democracy in combination gets you. A seem closed system where the top minutest percent own or control nearly all the 'wealth'. The way the government ries to 'fix' it is to print more money (because they know money is meaningless) and just try to have more people at least see more money in their own hands, even though it isnt worth nearly what it should be or even was before the money was printed.

                                                                Thats why I always laugh when the solution is to just give people money. Or people that want a raised minimum wage or a higher wage for everyone. All that doesnt matter prices and indexes would rise in correlation. If a guy goes from 7 bux an hour to 14 bux an hour he will eventually see the stuff he used to pay 5 bucks for be priced at 10, maybe even more. So what has changed? He has more money but it cost the same or more in comparison. When currency hs no starting point where you can look at a bill or a coin and say that is worth X amount of this (and every other coin or bill of the same denomination is worth the same amount of that X) then currency is useless.

                                                                This doesnt have much to do with Obama he is at the whim of the people who control it as much as we are.
