As several people pointed out, what Obama SAYS and what he DOES are frequently two different things. Let's look at NAFTA. He made a campaign promise to renegotiate NAFTA.
Until his completely pushes for either cancellation of NAFTA, or complete renegotiation, his words are as empty as his actions.
VERY GOOD!!!
This is the best and most legitimate criticism I have seen on this thread...
In fact I think trade is the ONE thing both persuasions can agree upon almost across the board - I think this
point is absolutely vital to the survival of America... Obama supporters need to find a way to hold his feet to the
fire on this one.
CONSERVATIVES - are there ANY of you who would oppose reassessing the notion of free international trade?
ANYONE???
Any LIBERALS???
If so why?

Obama inherited a country that was already in terminal decline, like the old British Empire, and that's not a lot that can be done about it.
Sadly people refuse to acknowledge this fact.
I can't tell if it is on purpose or they actually believe he caused this mess.
Either way, it is an error in the thinking process.

The REAL nightmare is Palin/Beck 2012. It could happen. The REALLY, REALLY scary version is that they have enough popular backing amongst far right Republicans and are big enough household names that they would probably win.

November 2012 - USA Election. December 2012 - Aztec "End of the World". Coincidence? I don't think so!

Please. America was so far in the crapper the 20 thousand leagues under the sea team could not dive that far down and pull us out. Obama is keeping our heads just above water. You want to see dreams dashed? Wait until the November election plays out.
Oh yes of course! It would have been MUCH better if Obama let the global economy completely tank! You conservatives all would have surely patted him on the back rather than criticized him endlessly like you are now.

In an interview with the New York Times, Ginsburg admitted that abortion is about getting rid of certain types of people that the elite do not want to have around:
"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we dont want to have too many of."

Billionaire club in bid to curb overpopulation
America's richest people meet to discuss ways of tackling a 'disastrous' environmental, social and industrial threat
John Harlow, Los Angeles
SOME of America’s leading billionaires have met secretly to consider how their wealth could be used to slow the growth of the world’s population and speed up improvements in health and education.
The philanthropists who attended a summit convened on the initiative of Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, discussed joining forces to overcome political and religious obstacles to change.
Described as the Good Club by one insider it included David Rockefeller Jr, the patriarch of America’s wealthiest dynasty, Warren Buffett and George Soros, the financiers, Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, and the media moguls Ted Turner and Oprah Winfrey.
Via Megan McArdle (HT - James Joyner), in this video we see President Obama telling a woman whose now-105-year-old mother got a pacemaker five years ago that, under Obamacare, we might just give old ladies a pain killer instead.
