    Since I don't like to waste too much time flaming (I've grown up!), I've spent the last 90 seconds trying to come up with a well-reasoned reply to your post. Unfortunately, you didn't really say anything. You mis-stated your OP's position, played the "you people" card without even saying who those people are, and implied that OP should grow up and learn to agree with your unstated position.

    Thanks for furthering the discussion.

    Let's quit pretending that Obama's the savior of the world. He is clearly just a puppet with his masters pulling the strings -- just the same as Bush was. These guys are nothing but front men speaking what their controllers tell them to speak (democrat and republican -- not a dime's worth of difference) and leading us all into the new world order or global government. Wake up and pay attention to what's really happening. By the way, let's give Obama the benefit of the doubt -- he reads his lines well most of the time.

    I thought everything he was saying on this issue sounded too good to be true and expected him to possibly pull something like this, but given his numerous statements about Bush's use of these sort of tactics I think he should be made to suffer in the same manner as Bush sr. was made to suffer with his "no new taxes" statement.

    The guy's actions are nothing like what comes out of his mouth - this does not portend freedom, limited excutive power, or any of the other stuff along those lines which he promised.

    He needs a new logo. Instead of "Obama, change we can believe in," it should be "Obama, the Janus president."
