And I think he and his supporters understand how hard that may be...the ship of state that has been on a terribly wrong course for eight years cannot be turned around overnight.
So you're saying if the country is worse it won't be Obama's fault? Thatwe are already headed there and Obama may work hard but we still maybe headed there.

Kinda goes against what he is telling everyone doesn't it?

People vote because they (the vast majority) believe the person they are voting for will better even a little their lives and the country, yet you are saying, "well he'll try."

Hmmmmm.

Just like getting out of Iraq overnight, I truly think it's a wrong move and if he does he is foolish to and it'll end up political suicide for him and the party.... but if he stays, he lied and that will be political suicide. He painted himself into a very very bad corner with this issue. One that can very well destroy the whole party.
