Don't discount it because it is Fox News...I can see the steel curtain falling already...lol. It is actually a Times of London story that Fox picked up.
Interesting.

Wanna talk about lowering the bar?
just take a look at the kinds of posts this board has displayed over the weekend. You want to turn it into a sandbox for 2nd graders, be my guest, but you only end up exposing your own appalling ignorance.
expectations
I don't really expect any president to be able to do all the things they promise in their campaigns. I just hope that things don't turn out as bad as we think. I hope that we who did not support O are wrong for the sake of our country.
Oh please. Even HE has no expectations of himself.

He keeps lowering the bar on expections, in hopes that people won't
He started the weekend before the election was held, so people wouldn't expect as much as he promised.
And he keeps doing it, doesn't he.
When will the left make an outcry, for this oh so different scenario, than the one he painted for them, when he bought their votes for hope and change?
Thing is, the change is still coming, that's for sure. He's not too hopeful anymore, though, is he.
And, I don't try to live up to any expectations of anyone on this board.
I'll admit I put my 2 cents in, but I just thought Brunson ought to know a little history, and I don't back off of what I said - it's my observation. I have had my fair share being personally attacked just for posting liberally, so spare me the high road pep talk.
I don't get into name calling and don't agree with anyone wishing death or harm to anyone. That's just not me and if I open a post like that GUESS WHAT? I don't continue to read the string if it's that bad or bothers me.
I come here for political debate not "he said she said."
Stop you evil propaganda, you're just lowering yourself to all those hypocritical evangelicals!
It's obvious your mind is already made up, so please do not force yours on us who do not agree with you one bit. If you're trying to make the rest of us swing in your direction by writing this litany of pettyness and sillyness, you're wrong. John McCain is passé...gone, okay? If I hear him talk about his military service and his tortures one more time, I'm going to puke! This is 2008, the war in Vietnam is long over and the U.S. had to get out. The Russians were in Aghanistan for ten years and had to get out with millions of their soldiers dead. This is an unwinnable war, why smarty pants can't you understand that? And Palin....oh please! She's a controller freak, she'll be running McCain if he's elected! We don't want neither one of them and you will see why come November 4th. We will not put up with four more years of aq Bush.......he's screwed up the country so bad in every way possible! Now everyone hates americans thanks to your current president. He's a Clint Eastwood in disguise. The axis of evil is America, and not the countries Bush loves to denigrade. So stop your propaganda against Barack, he's a breath of fresh air which we all long for. Biden did a lot more than McCain did in Congress. We don't need a novice from Alaska that's for sure. I'm Canadian and up here, it's democrat all the way. I suppose Palin can see the Yukon from her bedroom now? Bush will go down as the worst President the U.S. has ever had. No wonder you're all so scared and nervous about terrorists....he dared them and challendged and now they hate his guts. Let's get Barack in there and start negotiating, communicating and get the world on you side once again, like it used to be. So don't give me your crap about Barack or Joe. Bet you don't even know where Khandahar is! So stop your propaganda and keep your hateful thoughts to yourself!

High expectations for leaders...nah, Clinton pretty much blew that. No pun intended. nm
