What a wretched proof of post election hypocrisy!!Absolutely nothing he said here compares with what he did during his eight year administration that followed his election (and I still believe Gore really won in spite of the Florida recount.) God Bless America, indeed!! I am anxiously awaiting Obama's administration and the changes that must take place before the U.S. sinks lower into a depression... Reply to this

I would call him a" wolf in sheep's clothing" seeing that video... and it makes me shudder to hear other politician when they make similar promises... Makes me not know who to believe... he looked very calm and convincing in that video... that's scary... It means you can be coached to lie convincingly.
The mantel of the Presidency can certainly change people.. they say power corrupts.. I've never fully believed that but maybe I'm wrong to ignore that observation... it's been show to be true in many instances in history...
I'm hoping to maybe throw a party in honor of he no longer being in office.. it really is a noteworthy event... I'm glad he'll be gone.
