When Obama won the historic election in the US and everyone was excited and awed by the man, Dick Cheny was the only whohad balls to describe Obama as the bigest deception in human history. One year down the line, has this come to pas?Picture this;


1.Healhtcare reform not attracting as much support as it was one year ago
2.The latest elections for senator showed a huge shift in popularity in favour of republicans
3.His International, multiracial popularity has somewhat dissipated
4.The war in Afghanistan is getting messier and forcing him to adopt hawkish approach not different from his predecessor
5.From events in recent weeks, his adminstration appears to be preparing for a major confrontation with China on issues from Internet censorship, trade, Dalai Lama, arms sale to Taiwan, therefore removing the pacifist tag from him
6.Muslim Western relations appeared to improve following his Cairo speach but have since hot a low
7.No developments towards peace in the middle east, with Isreal seemingly defying Obama
8.Here at home, a sad realisation that the man may not change the political situation significantly

No, he is not.

You are.

drastic calling him a deception...

Only 2-3 challenges out of the 8 you have mentioned are really of substance and matter to him. He will overcome some to varying degrees of success in the fullness of time. Nobody told him his presidency will be devoid of challenges.

Obama couldnt be a deception.

Most of the time the general public have some unrealistic expectations.

Obama is quite on course to deliver on the issues he campained on.

He is more diplomatic in dealing with other nations.

The economy in US has improved since he took over.

Heaalth care reform is on course albeit a few challenges.

All else not with standing, he is not to stand and do nothing when a situation calls for action, e.g increasing troops in Afghanstan or
telling China the plain truth about censorship.
Obama is on course.
And by the way NSE is up.
If the economy in the US was still in the thick, NSE would still be in acute diarrhoea

Truth is, the weight of expectations on him puts him in a tough spot. He is unlikely to really hit the mark with people, because based on the expectations, he's fighting a losing battle.

@Muganda & Anasazi you are spot on. Its unlikely that Mr. Obama will meet these challenges to the expectation of his supporters. The most glaring are; The war in Afghanistan, Healthcare reform, The Economy and Middle East peace expectations.

@Intelli, Obama and his Handlers willfully misled the voters to believe that all that was needed to clean up the messes was a new broom (read him). Of course they swallowed hook and sinker. He pretended that he could bring peace to the middle East with only words.....whats a lie. He sugested, quite wrongly that he could come up with a timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan; Instead he has ordered a surge in the latter. On healthcare, he made it look like a foregone promise once he gets to office. Whats is now in the offing as a result of the haggling in the house and the senate is a significantly diluted version of the reform he promised at the campeigns

In his address to Muslims in Cairo, he signalled a change of US attitude towards the Muslim regimes. what we are now seeing is partisan support for the opposition in Iran, intended to topple an unfriendly regime. This has nothing to do with democracy for if it had, Obama should have served the same to the regimes in Egypt and Riyadh, which are much more oppresive than even Iran.

These are but a few examples of Obama willfully deceiving people whereas his intentions are diametically opposite to his pronouncements

The Middle East issue (Israel) is best left alone. I was recently schooled on the intricacies of the whole matter and the known but unsaid conclusion is that, there will be no Palestine in our lifetime. The district of Samaria (west bank)is inch by inch reverting to Israeli

No need to drag Obama's name in mud.
This guy is on top of things thus far.

Someone told me he's the antichrist!

Like I said, he is not. You are.

He is what your imagination wants him to be.

The world greatest deception.
The UntiChrist.
Too easy a win. (Tell that to Hillary Rodman Clinton)

So, tell us. What does your imagination want him to be?
