Since I am not very good with the written word, I will borrow from a professional this morning to respond to this thread...

"The trouble with Obama is that he gets into the moment and means what he says for that moment only. He meant what he said when he called Afghanistan a "war of necessity" -- and now is not necessarily so sure. He meant what he said about the public option in his health care plan -- and then again maybe not. He would not prosecute CIA agents for getting rough with detainees -- and then again maybe he would.

Most tellingly, he gave Congress an August deadline for passage of health care legislation -- "Now, if there are no deadlines, nothing gets done in this town ..." -- and then let it pass. It seemed not to occur to Obama that a deadline comes with a consequence -- meet it or else"

This is why I held back in a thread recently to use the word "liar"......I dont like the word and dont use it and I believe at the moment the President believes what he is saying, but,,,,,well, I dont know why or pretend to know why he is like this.....this was also in the article and I think very much in play...

"Sooner or later it is going to occur to Barack Obama that he is the president of the United States. As of yet, though, he does not act that way, appearing promiscuously on television and granting interviews like the presidential candidate he no longer is. The election has been held, but the campaign goes on and on. The candidate has yet to become commander in chief."

Perhaps if he actually became our President, we can have something more than......"There is nothing he could do that would lose my confidence"
and some substance to grasp !
