Annoy a Liberal, Read the Constitution

Now now ... you know it is Bush's fault that he did not fulfill his promises or it was the other party's fault for not allowing him to carry out his promises. However, it has been three years since the election and the congress was controlled by his own party when he took office, respectively. Naw ... still not his fault ... and , "let me be clear" is not so clear right now.

April 5, 2011 link? Somebody needs to catch up on their reading. ;D

Obamameter

Yes, lots of "broken" but the complete list has compromised and kept.

You mean he KEPT some? Larry won't know what to do with that news.

Oh wait, he'll just ignore it. Like many of us, he has Obama's accomplishments on ignore.

Yeah, the fundamental change one, comrade.

Oh well, one aims high and does the best they can. Of course, if only Obama was an honest man and kept his promises, we'd be on easy street. Nothing else can explain it.

How about this. Under promise and over deliver. My customers seem to like it. OTOH, when I over promise and under deliver, they seem upset.

Don't promise something you cannot or are not sure of delivering. Aim wherever you please but if you cannot deliver, don't promise. Assure me you are working towards a solution if you must. Don't promise me a solution by 1500 hrs when you are not sure of delivering it.

There is a difference between

I will achieve X by 1500 hrs

I will attempt to achieve X by 1500 but it might not work out that way.

Slipping off into the realm of fantasy, no? This is America and American political history, not some idealized make believe world. It also points out the difference between the world of politics and the world of business.

Therein lies the problem. When a politician of any stripe says "I will do X, Y, Z", we accept it as "par for the course" when they fail to deliver. So, tomorrow, if we run for office, we know that we have to "up the ante" and say "We will do W, X, Y, Z.". At the end of it, we just say "Mea Culpa. I didn't deliver.". So, what you have said is that I have to be a liar to run for politics. The truth won't work. So, in the end, whose fault is it that we get what we got? Hence, I don't care what a politician says. Either it is a blatant lie or it is a half truth and therefore a lie. So the LESS a politician promises, the less he can lie. Therefore, my vote goes to whomever promises the LEAST. Lower expectations = less disappointment

A politician, any politician, that kept all their campaign promises . . . why that would be historic.

Yep, it would be a different kind of politician. One that promises hope and change. Yes we can.

And Pegasus is a different type of horse.

Or maybe "morning in America." Or how about "a thousand points of light?" That's some catchy stuff right there.

I'm sorry comrade, have you not received the notice from your local re-education center yet?
