Can Obama turn all this around and make good on his promises?

I think he can. However, will hell freeze over by the time that happens? Will America let another democrat super majority in by the time that happens? I don’t know but I will let you decide. From the facts below, I will derive my opinion as it should yours. That’s if you can take your party politics out of it. Will see.

The first issue is Obama’s many campaign lies. Nobody trusts a lying president except those that drank the Kool Aid. That was so so evident from the trouncing of democrats in the most democratic states. As reported in today’s Wall Street Journal, President Obama carried Massachusetts by 26 points on Nov. 4, 2008. Fifteen months later, on Jan. 19, 2010, the eve of the first anniversary of his inauguration, his party's candidate lost Massachusetts by five points. That's a 31-point shift. Mr. Obama won Virginia by six points in 2008. A year later, on Nov. 2, 2009, his party's candidate for governor lost by 18 points—a 25 point shift. Mr. Obama won New Jersey in 2008 by 16 points. In 2009 his party's incumbent governor lost re-election by four points—a 20-point shift. In each race, the president's party lost independent voters, who in 2008 voted like Democrats and in 2010 voted like Republicans.

In watching the exit poll (only one) in Massachusetts, a group of independent voters said they lost trust in Obama and the lies are what hurt him. Obama can win the hearts of all by admitting his lies (just say “mistakes”) and give us a new plan to back his promises. Like President Bush, his ideas may not suit everyone, but at least he would be honest and have conviction like Bush.

The next move is to remove the corruption in his office, in Congress, and in the Senate. Pronto! Here are just a few examples: Congress rushed to confirm Attorney General, Eric Holder, whose law firm we later find out represents seventeen Gitmo Terrorists. That not good and only shows Chicago style good ole boy corruption. Remove Hillary since it’s no secret we have one of the most corrupt American woman as Secretary of State. We’ve got a Tax cheat for Treasury Secretary who did not properly file his own taxes and a Tax cheat nominee for Chief Performance Officer who withdrew under those charges. We have a Commerce Secretary nominee who also withdrew due to corruption charges and then a Labor Secretary nominee who withdrew under charges of unethical conduct. I can go on and on. But you get the idea.

After all that, go on prime-time TV and give another speech (I know, Obama gave158 interviews and 411 speeches in his first year according to CBS News' Mark Knoller. That's most likely more than any previous president — and maybe more than all of them put together.) but tell us that Obamacare is scrubbed for now with an emphasis on the fact it will come up later. But this time any bill will only come from the entire House and Senate and not from the democrats behind closed door, corrupt secret deals and will never be written again by lobbyists or special interest groups. Then, tell us how our politicians will work day and night getting the US back on track economically (jobs first) and how we will put forth a full court press on fighting terrorism.

Start with admitting your lies and mistakes, Mr. Obama, and then follow the above and you will win my approval and millions more.

Can Obama do all this and make good on his campaign promise for “hope and change?” You tell me!
