I live in Illinois, we have not elected an honest politician in 150 years. The rule
in Illinois is that you buy your position from your predecessor or the governor.
Obama came up through this ‘Chicago style’ politics and rose quickly, a sure
sign that he was bought and paid for. Obama is just Bush Lite.

President Obama is dellusional, a full of hot air fool or just a disgusting hypocrite.
Disect his speech at the UN, unless you live in a cave, who is going to believe anything that comes out of his mouth?. Isn’t he embarrased to appear as a charlatan?
The US has a history of challenging international law and the UN resolutions. The US is a rogue state that bullies others and resorts to naked aggression. What is the purpose of the 700+ military posts around the world mr.Obama?
The US has rejected the Kyoto Protocol. Anywhere that there is turmoil this is instigated by the dirty paws of the US.
Cuba, Iran, N. Korea continue to be bullied and harrased by the US.
Is Obama that ignorant that he does not recognize the role US plays destabilizing the world or he is just another dummy like his predecessor?
Do not whine mr. Obama that the world is not doing its share. It is the US that has poisoned the hearts and minds of billions around the world with its arrogance, psychopathy, boorishness and lack of class.
You would do much better mr. Obama showing humility and respect for teh nations of the world ( I know, that does not come with mother’s milk in the US) and exacting the change you promised. So far, you have failed miserably !!!!
The world is quite rapidly getting sick of you as well. Another USan president great about generalities and rethoric and very short on specifics.

Our ‘green’ president could have built a million windmills with the bailout
money, maybe he thought it would help the environment more if he gave it to
the bankers instead.
