One year gone and he hasn't achieved a thing.  Nothing, nada.  We're two months into his 2nd year in office and he still hasn't achieved anything yet.  What's he waiting for? 

What are these "changes" anyway?  It was a cute phrase to talk up hope and change but as we now see, Obama, was also just a politician and was just saying what sounded impressive at the time.  It worked.  It got him elected.  But I'm still waiting to see what these "changes" are. 

Better healthcare?  Is that one?  Our healthcare system is much better right now compared to what he wants- nationalized health care delivered by the state.  I think that's called communism and it has never worked.

Transparency?  Is that one of his "changes?"  Then why are all his meetings and strategy sessions not open to the public, but held in secrecy? 

Close Guantanamo?  Is that one?  It's still open.

Get us out of Iraq?  We're still there.  And we are going even harder into Afghanistan?

Create jobs?  Unemployment is at an all-time high.  Where are these jobs?

Global warming?  That's been proven as silly as when our forefathers declared that our Earth was flat. 

Gain respect for our country throughout the world?  He apologized for us when that was unnecessary.  Now everyone thinks we are weak, which we are. 

Create bipartisan politics in Washington?  The two parties now are more polarized than ever.  If anything Dems and Repubs hate each other much more now than ever before.  Every state where Obama has gone to support a Dem in an election, they have lost. 

Protect us from terrorists?  Now terrorists have Miranda rights.  It is criminal how much in harm's way this man is putting each and everyone of us.  When innocent people get blown up, under Obama's watch, I know somehow that too, will be Bush's fault, but when this happens it will be the direct fault of Obama. 

So where are all these changes he talked about? 

I do see one- him, Obama.  He has changed.  He promised more than he could deliver.  He's not Superman.  But he sure  was quick to stop talking about hope and change.  That's because that was just a line to get elected.  It wasn't the truth.  I there's something he has changed what is it?

He's like all the others.  You can be a great speaker and still say nothing. He has mastered that.  You can play the race card and win just because everyone thought it was time to elect our first black president.  I actually agree with that.  Just not THIS  black man.  There were so many other black people who could have already been doing a better job that this newbie.  Martin Luther King would have been embarrassed by this guy.  Obama is all words and very little actions.  He gives lots of speeches then does nothing.  And with the terrorist situation this president is going to get some of us killed.
