Next he will say that he won't heal the oceans

The Obamamessiah, now that he isn't campaigning for the presidency, has started to backpedal from his earlier statements and is starting to tell the truth. The latest example of his cooling of expectations is about the economy. Instead of healing the economy and putting Americans back to work the minute he takes office, he now says that it will get worse before it gets better. As I recall, during the election, I don't remember him ever saying this. I only remember him saying how he was going to heal the oceans and the economy at the same time.

If you are wondering why he is doing this, it's to prepare everyone for the real world realities of being president. He must suddenly realize that the people who voted for him did so because of all the promises he made during the campaign, but like we all know, all his promises come with expiration dates. Welcome to the real world, Obama supporters. Your man isn't who you thought he was.

Welcome to the real world, Obama

Soon-to-be President Obama is suddenly finding out the difference between the world the presidential campaign and the world where we all live. Case in point, he is now starting to backpedal on his promise to shudown Gitmo within the first 100 days in office. Although he still says that closing the base in 100 days is his goal, he is now saying that "our legal teams are working in consultation with our national security apparatus as we speak to help design exactly what we need to do", which is "politicalspeak" for "Hey, I know I said 100 days, but now, reality is setting in and maybe I was a bit too quick to open my mouth". Welcome to the real world, Obama. If it had easy to shutdown the place, don't you think President Bush would have done it a long time ago?
