if obama, a highly intelligent -and on the campaign trail a very perspicacious- man, can be shamed into honouring the promises he consciously made...
He can't or won't consider that the analysis of the economic situation on which his administration has been proceeding is seriously lacking and that the current situation is unsustainable. Denial is a powerful defense for the psyche. It works perfectly right up until it fails catastrophically. As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
... I do recall Gibbs telling a reporter that Obama sleeps well at night and had no problems with his decisions.
Finally an honest statement! My view? Obama is as much a self-centered SOB as Bush. He sleeps well at night because the only people he TRULY cares about are hinself, his wife, his kids, maybe his extended family. Beyond that ... forget it, wishful thinking. Is he ever going to be out of work? Hungry? Homeless? What about his children? How's poor Chelsea Clinton doing?
You people who want to think the best about Obama are deluding yourself in order to justify your 2008 vote. Wake the fuck up! In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
