As if Obama did not know the circumstances of the economy, the various wars we're in, and the general idea of what is going on in the world before he was elected. Come on, his advisers told him exactly what he was getting into, so don't give me this crap. This has always been an excuse for incoming politicians.
What has changed in Afghanistan? It's the same Taliban, same roadside bombs, same generals, same hideouts, same territories, same fields being guarded, et cetera. The only difference is the names of the troops we expend through nonsense wars like these. And I'm not happy about it.
Folks can defend Obama all they want, THE candidate I voted for, but you cannot deny he lied about various matters in his campaign, including this one. "You can bank on it." This is not anything remotely close to said crisis that Kennedy had to endure, but folks will find anything they can to defend a President that is losing credibility, even under the noses of their own base.
Lies are lies and should be treated as such, not as mistakes or "oh, things have changed" when they have not whatsoever. Obama is a flop president who fooled even myself to get elected, one who is in the pockets of big corps, and the sooner we realize that, the better. If not, I'm a hypocrite for blasting Bush supporters all these years.
