    Thats what most people dont understand. He was elected by the power structure and he will subservient to the power structure. He is the same as the rest of the puppets before him.

    Precisely how else does one get elected?

    Is there some alternate election process we're unaware of?

    Anyone taking bets on how long it will be before someone tries to kill the man? I hope it doesn't happen, but I'm surprised it hasn't yet.

    Well they're already plotting and have hatched plans. I guess we should be concerned considering the Secret Service can't even stop the odd shoe these days.

    Thankfully the types of people who would commit such a stupid act aren't exactly top honors graduates.

    Please tell me georgeb, you are not typing someone so broadly like that. All classes of people have hate/racism. All it takes is one. And you really don't need to be a complete genius to do it. Just partially suicidal, and a good shot. Thank god most people are as accurate with a gun as that Iraqi was with shoes. But I can think of several different ways I could kill a president. Now, living and not getting caught, thats a whole new ball game. Thats the part that gets people, the drive for self preservation.

    He hasn't taken over the charge yet, Give the guy a chance then judge him.
    Obviously if we can give *Bush* 2 chances, Obama deserves a chance to prove himself.

    What power structure? What group? Which people do you claim to know control Obama?

    I am glad to say I did not vote for him. The promise of change meant only one thing. We will have a President that has almost no experience at all. The rest of his promises of change was clearly misstated by him. As we have seen, he is reassembling in part the former Clinton Administration.

    He is also backing off on many of his campaign promises of quick fixes. Now he is saying it will take years to fix the problems. Of course, in the mean time we need to spend trillions of dollars we do not have.

    Sounds like a change to me! :rolleyes:

    YES WE CAN! Go into a deeper recession and more and more debt! :eek:

    It's disingenuous at best. He took illegal campaign funds with no accountability (on purpose), bought his wife a 30k ring and spending millions on a party, and living high off the hog. This is the typical liberal politician. They are above the average American and while others are hitting hard times, they go right on telling the world "look at what we just bought!"

    I'm more interested in the fallout of the Blago scandal and Obama and Rahm's role in that. Such power corruption coming to the forefront and he hasn't event taken the oath yet. So much for that "transparency" he talked about.

    Good luck getting a straight answer on that one! Alex Jones doesn't even know who the puppets are, he just knows somewhere out there, there are some that control "strings."

    Well that last part of your statement is what I mean. Most people with average or above average intelligence may want to do it, and could probably figure out a good way to do it, but in the end would allow self preservation to prevail and use that intelligence to decide not do it.

    But you're right. It only takes one.

    Hopefully, but, it really only takes one lost job, or one death of a family member from an unconstitutional gun law to make someone snap, and when they snap they will not care about self preservation, only revenge.

    You will not know the involvement Obama played in the whole scandal. The media will do everything it can to keep Obama clean of any wrongdoing. This stuff has been going on in Chicago for years and you can not tell me that with all the ties back to these sleaze bags that Obama is not as dirty as the rest.

    I think the most important requirement for a President is backbone... something Obama does not have (never takes responsibility for anything!) and McCain gave his up when he submitted to far right and picked Palin.

    I know we all say it every election... but there really was not a good choice this year.

    It's good to see someone else can think here too, and yes, I'm still glad I voted :)

    give him a chance, we have at least 4 years to see how it goes
    the good news is, since he's following up Bush, he is bound to look like an all star..lol

    Loco -

    I liked what you had to say up until the Bush part... I think there is an absolute, not relative, scale when judging a presidents success.

    Like i said before Obama is doing the will of the people that got him into office. They will never let someone who cares for all of the american people slip through the cracks and even have a slight chance of becomeing president. Sorry folks but i see some people here are living in a dreamland if they think Obama will be much different than bush. Liek I have said for the 1 millionth time take a look at the special interest and big bank contributions to his campaign. That should tell you all that you need to know;).

    Gtech, Jessie ventura has a great video on the 2 party system control. Im not even talking about Alex Jones as i dont really know much about the guy. I do know about the league of women voters and the presidential debate comission and ross perot in 1992 and 1996;) and this has nothing to do with any cutcase conspiracies or aliens on earth. Just the rich and elite supressing the will of the american people;)

    Wow. You hit the nail on the head here. Perfect way of putting it. People think there are going to see this HUGE overhaul of government with Obama. I hope Obama can make some things better, but I agree that it seems OK to most that he screws them over, just as long as he does it with a bit of charm!
