18. Well I don't hold it personally against Obama

Because even if he was a saint much wold remain the same....the president does not have the power we think he does.
Jimmy Carter said as much in an interview where he was asked what surprised him most about the presidency and he said "how little power he had"...and you know Carter has an expressive face and you could see it in his eyes he meant it like that.

I think the presidency was captured long ago...when they shot JFK...that was a demonstration for all future presidents.
sometimes they need reminding like whey Jessy Helms said Clinton better not come down to any military base in NC...And I think Bill got the hint.
I am sure they laid it all plane for Obama if he is not "one of them" and I think he is not....let's face it...they have his whole family captured in the White House under govenrment control...and he don't control it.
