Who else is upset about Obama's previous comments....?

Question

When Obama was running for the Senate in Illinois (where I am from), he told everyone time and time that he had no intentions of running for the Presidency. Yet, now here we are. He hasn't even had time to do anything for Illinois and he is running.

Answer 1

obama needs to go home, I would say to Hawaii but they don't want him either.

Answer 2

Although I am not a Obama supporter, I will say that as a Senator of Illinois, he HAS done much for your state.

Didn't he get you tax credits?

Reformed laws about police interrogations?

I don't agree with his backing of wanting the Govmnt to back churches, but whatever.

Answer 3

Well now he can do for the whole country as president.What's wrong with changing ones mind?

Answer 4

Why upset???? Most politicians don't have there eyes set on the Presidency initially.........stuff happens you get the $$$$$$ and the support and you make a go of it.....  

Answer 5

Well i'm pretty sure he's busy and dont you guys have a governor or something??!

I like everything Obama says.

Answer 7

well you had had him as a State Senator for 8 years and maybe before spouting do a bit of research.

He gave you a tax credit

he gave you better access to health care

he gave you less people on the tax rolls by promoting job re-training

In addition he had had no intention of running. It was another fellow IL Senator who convinced him to run. It took d**k Durbin 1/2 a year to convince him to run

Answer 8

Muslims will not stop until they dominate the world.

Answer 9

That was at least a few years ago.  Palin said just earlier this year that she didn't want to run as VP...but here she with all of her pregnant daughter, ethics investigation, and lets have Alaska recede from the U.S. baggage.  Nice pick McCain.

Answer 10

bla bla bla, nobody is upset about a politician saying one thing and doing another, it happens all the time

Answer 11

It's a little late for you to be venting your frustrations. Where have you been this past year?

Answer 12

Nothing to be upset about....... He has been elected to represent Democrats for the presidency. Be happy for him and proud he came from your state, and most importantly, don't be a lass.

Answer 13

He has nothing to show all he wants is to be the first black president.

The liberals will try and vote him in and he will do as much for this country as he has done for Illinois which is nothing McCain08'

Answer 14

Doesn't bother me, but what can i say?  People wanted him to run.  

Answer 15

People change their minds.
