I just don't understand how Obama can be SO wrong, SO often, and have a shred of credibility left. I mean, no one is right 100% of the time, and these are some tough issues. But the guy just stinks at this.

In the Senate, he said the Surge would not work in Iraq, he denied that it did work when everyone knew it did, and when even he couldn't deny it any longer, he said the surge exceeded everyone's expectations. Wrong. He got it wrong. But others, like McCain and Bush, correctly predicted what the Surge would do.

When Russia invaded South Ossetia in 2008, the citizens were fighting back against the Russians, and Obama said "both sides need to show restraint." Ths is a guy who cannot even tell the difference between the lion and the lamb, how stinking hard is that? You can't tell someone who is fighting back against an attacker to show restraint, it's the aggressor that needs to show restraint. When asked how he would handle things if he was President, Senator Obama said he'd appeal the UN for sanctions against Russia. One small problem, Russia is a member of the Security Council, and can therefore unilaterally veto anything, so Obama assumed he'd convince Russia to agree to sanction themselves? That was when he lost me for good, that was when I knew he was in way over his head.

He goes somewhere to convince the Olympic Committee to give Chicago a summer Olympics, and we are the first country eliminated (I'm pretty sure).

The stimulus. Obama said it would keep unemployment below 8%. Unemoloyment went above 10%, meaning he was off by millions and millions of jobs.

Obamacare. He said we would see an average savings of $2500 per year, and that we could keep our plans and doctors if we wanted.

He added trillions to the debt, yet median wages are down significntly during his presidency. So how can you say that money was spent wisely?

How do you defend that track record? How?! I've never seen anyone who was so wrong, so often.
