He will never get the center vote...here is why

the center voter will not forget....Van Jones,Anita Dunn, man/boy love kevin jennings, axelrod, limp wristed Rahm Emanuel (by the way that dude needs to tone it way down),Rev. Wright, Doran, Ayers,ACORN,Flager,million dollar dates,Air Force 1 flyovers in New York, slammed by olympics,slammed by New Jersey,Slammed by Copenhagen,slammed by Mass.,largest deficit in world history, tax cheat Geitner,terrorist siding Eric Holder,refuses to release the white house guest list, blatently lied about transparency......NEED I GO ON.

His advisors are a disgusting gang of misfits but do not ever lose sight that obama hand picked every one of them, which further proves his ineptness and corruption as a leader. The center will never forget this, he is done.

As always I'm certain that during the State of the Union speech Obama will make one promise after another just as he had while campaigning and probably will FLIP FLOP on every promise just as he has done since becoming President. Now that the message of how discontented the people are with his Socialist / Commy programs he's beginning to realize that he's not invincible and that even those that were naive and dumb enough to believe him during his campaigning and his presidency are beginning like rats to jump ship and abandond him. Even his most loyal comrades like terrorist sympathizer Erick Holder, Nancy Polosi, Harry Reid and a large percentage of his own party are getting tired of Obamas superiority complex and of not listening to their advice, are beginning to contradict and second guess his decisions. The State of the Union address will only be another one of Obamas ( I'll fool the people ) speeches in order to get the people to believe that he really has their interests in mind and that America is doing just fine. But ... it's all a scam! Just as he had promised before he's trying to divide the people by promising what he should have concerned himself with after being elected, jobs, home financing, taxes, and going after terrorists. Now he's putting on a show that he's going after the banks, large corporations, and the unions. After he personally blessed the bailing out of these corporations with billions of taxpayer money and the acceptance of lobbying of the large unions. DON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN!!! This man dousn't care about you or the American people, he is a self centered egomaniac and his only interests is how he can control large corporations, banks, and the American system all in the name of social engineering and equalization of the people in the name of the poor. So in a sense he's really trying to lower American standards down to the level of a third world country. If you want your America back even if it's not perfect but at least you can stand up and fight for what you believe vote out the Dem Soc / Comm this year and especially in 2012. AND LET'S GET BACK TO WORK!!!

Where is that troll that keeps posting positive Obama letters in newspapers all over the country, he sure needs that scumbag now. Advisors are not the problem. Lets not forget....Van Jones,Anita Dunn, man/boy love kevin jennings, axelrod, limp wristed Rahm Emanuel (by the way that dude needs to tone it way down),Rev. Wright, Doran, Ayers,ACORN,Flager,million dollar dates,Air Force 1 flyovers in New York, slammed by olympics,slammed by New Jersey,Slammed by Copenhagen,slammed by Mass.,largest deficit in world history, tax cheat Geitner,terrorist siding Eric Holder...NEED I GO ON.

After THE State of the Union Wednesday night the sitting president may be on the right track in changing the subject. Taxes and our financial picture should take the thrust of his message and he is going to take a shot. Reducing financial help on several items will be a shot at recognizing this emphasis if he will also PLEDGE to veto biils with PORK in them. I mean PLEDGE AND FOLLOW UP WITH HIS CONCERN over these special interests with his playmate congress people.

i think u have the same mind as me man. I think Californian should look at the case of the 2 Senators by the mid term election and say no more too them they over spend budged blocking project that provide job that also bring green energy to CA. We need to step up to and let our vote be hurt since Boxer and Feinstein ain't doing good job at it and always send job away to third world and comi countries like India, China, Vietnam soon there would be nothing own by american, since they took over your bank since idiot bank invest in those country and lost, your bank become their bank by their earning share stock holder account going up, they took over your home, bank got your home because u got no job to pay for your morgate on time just like your car, think of it as this way u don't act now it will be too late, let bring fresh face into leadership like Mass state, I'm tired of these bunch of BS california Democrat control leadership we should be abble to recall their as if they mess up like that case of Governor Gray Davis. Onces again i urged we fellow from Californian stop vote for those who doesn't served our state with dignity on our behalf of tax payer citizen doesn't perform and cary out their public servant duty correctly, and in the future if Nancy Pelosi and Obama keep continue to do thing wrong like those 2 senators in CA when we get our change to make our vote count to as a national level.

those bs corupted politican drive this country to the ground of CA 4:04PM January 26, 2010

Bush was in way over his head, a bumbler who lacked historical perspective and creativity. Generally, I think he had good intentions and tried to protect the country as best he knew how. That said, I recall the paving material used on the road to hell.

Now Obama is, without any doubt, an egotist and definitely suffers from a "messiah complex". However, like all messiahs, from Ceasar to Mao, he believes that his ideas and methods will actually turn out best for the people in the long run - if only people wouldn't be people and just simply follow him.

Seems to me the nation could do better - though we haven't in a long time.
