Even after his first day as the president of USA, Obama looked bizarre and deceiving to me. After just one month, I realized why I felt like that. Obama lied during his campaign. I am going to give you a list, and you'll be the judge. He has done the total opposite of what he said that he would do.

1. He said that after he'd won the elections, he would bring home the troops in Iraq in 6 months. Now, the term is set at 26 months. There are already 5000 American soldiers dead and almost 1.000.000 Iraqis! Now ask yourself, why is he doing this?

2. Immediately after the elections he sent 30,000 soldiers to Afghanistan. Is this a man who wants a change? And he is going to do it, again, with guns?

3. He said that he will close the Guantanamo prison. Now there are reports that prisoners are taken into other foreign countries and tortured. Obama is making the dictatorial regime of secret arrest, secret prisons and detention without trial. Obama is not only endorsing Bush's crimes, but continuing them.

4. Did you check out his staff? 90% are Wall-Street men. Those who made this crisis are now in the government! This is the first time when we don't have any engineers, social advisers in president's staff. Instead, we have doctors in economy who seem to have no clue about the real events around the world. Only lobbyist there!

5. Obama said he was upset with the bailout. How, in God's name he could when the bailout was engineered by Rahm Emanuel, an American born in Israel, chief of his staff.

6. Global warming. After feeling the president's chair underneath him, Obama issued over 100 new taxes for green purposes. But wait a minute, who said that man is the real cause of global warming? Gore has built a "green money making machine". Remember, it's not the global warming but the THEORY of it. There is nothing sure yet...

7. Here is one sentence from a directive of the Ministry of Defence: "Civilian Expeditionary force shall deploy in support of combat operations by the military." He is building a separate army outside the government that will follow only Obama's orders. If you have over 18, you MUST make 3 months of military training.

8. Forget about the Free Speech! There are going to be laws for controlling the news and Internet sites so that you won't be able to "plot" against Obama!

9. The National Coordinator of Health is going to tell you what treatments are good for you or what medicines ar bad. Those who use alternative medicine, be aware, you're going to be outlaws!

10. Obama is encircling China, Iran and Russia. He is also setting bases in Africa, he is going to dominate Africa, throw Africa Command. His cousin, Odinga, is a dictator in Kenya and has Obama's full support...

He is not the president you voted for. In fact, he is one of the best actors in the world. They must give him an Oscar for how well he played his role. The question now is - Is there one good thing that Obama did or is going to do?
