Default This is kind of funny, well, not really.

Did you miss that?
evidently.


I'm sure President Obama will deliver on many of his promises, make
progress on many others, and some will fall by the wayside for
various reasons. If you think it should be otherwise, you're not
being realistic.


Problem is, here's what many people heard:

"I won't have to worry about gas prices, or paying my mortgage".

To the best of my recollection, Obama never said anything that would
lead anyone to those conclusions. On the other hand, Bush said he would
catch those responsible for plotting 9-11. When is that going to happen?
On Obama's watch?


A lot of folks came to those conclusions because of Obama's promises of
a chicken in every pot and his promise to re distribute wealth and
provide free this and that to everyone. His speeches were carefully
crafted to suck in the barely literate and give them hope and promises
of a carefree prosperous, and happy future. What amazes me is that he
sucked in so many supposedly bright people like yourself as well. You
better hope and pray that congress starts taking a daily dose of smart
pills and begins to do the job we are paying them to do.
