Obama=Disaster

I agree with this article. It is unconscionable that Obama would attend a Beverly Hills fundraiser and not address the budget crisis in CA. This man cares for nobody but himself, and for some reason the media continues to give him a pass. I voted for him and I regret it.

President Obama

Obviously Mary Kate Cary is a chip off the old Rush Limburger, Carl Rodent block.The republicans and biased media are showing the world how selfish and truly un-American they really are. To make a idiotic and self serving statement saying " he hopes the President fails" shows how much he and his fellow republicans really care about this country. If the President fails so does our country. All these hypocrits care about is money and power. Oh, and maybe a doctor who doesn't mind writing prescriptions for them. Mary K. not only shows her bias toward the President, she shows a pettiness and penchant for making a mountain out of a mole hill. So what if he made a short speech. I haven't heard or read about anyone who attended either one of these affairs complaining. Where were you Mary K. the past 8 years while Bush and company were catering to the conservative hypocrits and rich WASPS? I bet a lot of them wished George Bush had made shorter speeches. Then he wouldn't have murdered the english language so much. So many journalists, republican politicians and ignorant racists who have been relatively quiet the past 8 years while the country was being torn apart and ravished by special interests have all of a sudden become so vocal and so caring about the average American. California has a republican governor who is dealing with his states finacial crisis by making cuts to education, healthcare to low income families and probably a lot of other cutbacks affecting the non-rich citizens. The country would be a lot better off if the rupublican party, already morally bankrupt would follow GM and Chrysler and fully declare bankruptcy.

Caring for the "regular"folks? Are you serious?

He sure cared for the "regular" folks when he took School vouchers away. Now that's really looking out for the little guy, isn't it? Are people STILL living in the Obama haze......wake up and smell the coffee. He's a disaster. And wait and see how much your taxes will go up. That is, if you are among the percentage who pay them. Somehow the bill needs to be paid.

Of course Obama looks like a genuis...because most of the people who still think he's on the right track are idiots

The President's fundraising visit

Mary Kate: President Obama has already showed us, the "regular" folks, his caring for us by pushing to pass the stimulus package. His 1st hundred days has been all about us. He continues each day of his presidency to keep working to attack all of our problems, health ins. reform, the environment, the two wars we have going on and a plethera of problems created by Bush/Cheney including the Wall St. fiascos that really hurt us all. He DOES care about us - we who love and support him know it, including most of the intelligent media; he doesn't need the photo ops that Bush needed - he's genuine unlike his predessessor. Why else do you think he's so popular? He hasn't forgotten where he comes from and I for one trust him to always care for the working people & the struggling among us. God bless him & help him succeed!

Many of you must be smiling

because no one can say with a straight face that Obama needs to take on yet another problem that someone else created.

Trying to clean up from one failed administration is quite enough.

load of crock

Well I sure hope the COP takes back at least half the House and Senate! I've been a reg. Democratic for 30 years but I can see through the mud. Obama only understands what the DMC tells him to understand !

Don't Blame Me.... I Voted For RON PAUL

Ron Paul is MY President !

Load of crock

What an odd article, grasping at nothing to try to make the President look bad. George Bush was a complete joke and so is the GOP, especially Sarah Palin. I am an Independent and I can be objective of both parties. President Obama is intelligent and understands the complex issues facing us today, unlike people like Governor Palin who babbles and spews personal issues to rile people.

I couldn't have said it better. Palin-Bachmann 2012!!
