A couple of Obama campaign commercials from 2008:

Barry's first campaign commercial of 2012 providing a cavalcade of his administration's successes: ha

Can America survive four more years of Obama?

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

There are still plenty of gullible sheep...it doesn't really matter what Obama says or does anymore, they have too much invested in hope.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Yes, I remember speeches about someone being "a uniter--not a divider"; and "compassionate conservatism"; and the fact that there "were WMD's in Iraq...and that's why we went to war---No, wait, it was to remove a tyrant---No wait, it was because the generals on the ground said so...No, wait..." And how the "Tax Cuts would create jobs... (Yeah...3million in 8 years...)

Oh, gee, I could just go on and on.... :lol:

Barry has been at the helm for three plus years, he going to fix all that remember? Energy prices have not gone down, more people are unemployed than there were in 2008, we still have troops in Afghanistan, the current Iraqi government is about to collapse on itself, the economy is in the toilet, and there are no signs of any of those issues getting resolved any time soon.

If you drank the Kool Aide back in 2008 and believed the promises you got fooled.

BTW - Club GITMO is still open...

And he's created more private-sector jobs than Bush did in 3 years...(and that's AFTER Bush's recession was losing them at the rate of 750,000/month.

Troops in Afghanistan? You mean the ones Bush put there to fight one of two unnecessary wars? THOSE troops?

I love how you guys still think you can blame him for not cleaning up the GOP piles of doo-doo fast enough... :lol:

So which is it?

I guess three years is as close to "the first thing I will do..." as Barry could get in Iraq, never mind the largest US diplomatic mission in any country and the military "advisers" who are still in Iraq. Troops in Afghanistan? 2024?

You keep saying that but why is the unemployment worse now than it was under "w"? And Bush isn't running.

That's right - the ones that are there fighting Obama's "War of Necessity" until the day he has already announced they will be leaving the theater. The ones that are being shot in the head, even after numerous apologies from Obama and his generals, and having hand grenades tossed at them while they are sitting inside the bases waiting for the next decision from the folks running the Oval Office to be announced by the person who is sitting behind the desk that is located there.

Indeed - pretty unreasonable to think that he can do in 3 years what FDR couldn't do following the same playbook in 12.

How exactly did Obama "create" jobs in the private sector? Do you really believe the private sector needed Obama's brilliance in order to recover? I suppose the streets would be on fire if not for all those shovel ready jobs that didn't quite materialize.

Hang on now... Solyndra did create private sector jobs, for a little while... and it was a good investment of Federal money too! Someone has to be enjoying the free electricity from the solar panels that Solyndra makes... What? Solyndra is out of business?! Well, I'm sure that investigation will keep plenty of Gubment employees busy for years to come (not exactly private sector jobs are they?). Yet another success in the long parade of Obama's success.
