What don't you understand about every word written by and out of Obama's own mouth? Campaign rhetoric?

"Oh, well ...", is the hope we have for the President of the United States? The leader of one of the most powerful nations on earth is one we just shrug our shoulders over and say "give him the benefit of the doubt"?

Ah, sure, what the heck. The man doesn't know himself whether he is a Christian or Muslim from one minute to the next. He can't keep his own "story" straight even to himself. He starts campaigning from day one every word out of his mouth contradicting half to three quarters what he has previously written, stated, and believed in for most of his life.

I'll give him the "benefit of the doubt", when I have doubts. He's already backed off half the goals he stridently promised, and he isn't in office yet. He appoints one of the greatest commonly known liars in politics as Secretary of State.

Yeah, I guess we"ll just have to "hope" for best. I know where I have planted my hopes and beliefs, and it ain't O'.
