    How many times does the boy have to cry wolf before people realize there is no wolf? This is more of that ‘on day one’ bullshit we heard from Obama, dangling carrots in front of voters to lure them to the poles only for them to backtrack the day after being sworn in.

      At least there’s a carrot now, before we were just getting the stick of “vote for me or the fascists will take over”

      There actually was a wolf in that analogy. Just cause the villagers decided to ignore the warnings didn’t make him not exist.

      Be specific. What exactly?

      Because Obama also got a lot done he promised

      In contrast, Trump clearly makes up things on the spot to impress whoever is in the room at the time
