Title: Does everyone think Barack Obama is going to "save the world" OVERNIGHT!!!
Post by: tzs on March 31, 2010, 09:26:40 pm
I've got a bad feeling about this one, too much negative press going around, he hasn't had a chance to breathe yet, and its going down...... :sad1:

I do not think that anyone would think that somebody could save the world overnight.  I do not get the feeling that Obama is going down at all.  So far, he is doing a good job.  Of course I do not agree with everything he had stood for and I think that some of his priorities are out of order as far as importance goes, but all in all, no major complaints here.

Of course he's not going to.  He's better than the previous idiot in some ways, but he's not what I was hoping for.  He's continuing Bush's illegal, destructive "anti-terror" policies, is blocking all investigations into Bush-era law-breaking, and isn't doing a damn thing about Wall Street.  The healthcare bill is a start at reform, but it was put together with sleazy backroom deals that Candidate Obama swore he would oppose.

On the other hand, I don't see him invading any countries *bleep*-nilly, so that's a plus.

There are very many impatient people across America and in the government that have wanted things to pass for so long that they have become impatient. Unfortunately, the process takes so long, people automatically assume that he is not doing his job correcty,  or fast enough, which really isn't fair to him at all. All of the negative press that I have seen lately have been from politicians trying to capitalize on every little negative situation in the system that he has been apart of, cutting him off before he even gets started with his term of office.

Unfortunately, he took office during the Swine Flu epidemic, and the Hatian and Cuban earthquakes, and that is alot of crap to deal with, especially when he is trying to keep his own country behind him on improving the safety of our nation, healthcare and the economy.

I'm sure it is not an easy job, I just hope that people give him a chance to come into his own while he is in office....... :heart:

I think it's just a common maturity factor to believe that patience is key to success. Unless you're superman, you can't 'save the world' overnight. I have a couple difficulties with Obama as well, but he is doing a decent job thus far. I just think the people who believe things should be fixed right now are just impatient gullibles who followed his campaign like fanatics therefore having no grasp on politics. Or reality for that matter.

The man still has 2 years.  A lot can happen in that time.  Although I always had the feeling Obama would be a one term president.

In the early 1900's Dr. Johnson said, "The last bastion of the scoundrel is patriotism."  This was during the term of Teddy Roosevelt and the king of chicany and political games, Senator Lodge.  Sounds like a re-run to me.

I had saved this quote from an article. Just wanted to throw it into the mix-

"As a country, we have become accustomed to using fear and hate in the service of hyper-partisanship. We need to wake up to the fact that demonizing people we disagree with, and indulging in attempts to delegitimize a properly elected president from Day One, hurts us all as a nation. We can do better -- and we deserve better, especially from people who want to lead the nation themselves."

Though it's just a mere opinion, I guess it's a good point. Here's the original source.

No, but a lot of people think he is trying to control it. We don't need behaviour modification in the schools, oversight of all our profitable business stratems, and a lot of other costly government intervetion in areas where they have no business being.  Read history, this is pretty scary stuff he's putting out there.

A lot of people is giving him hell about any thing he do. I say it is just prejudice flowing , and no one wants to admit that is what happening.  PRESIDENT OBOMA that is his name, and he cannot change the world, the world wants a change from all the old fuddy duddies that wants to stay in charge, the cotton tops (people with white hair) needs to go.  :peace:

No one will be able to save the world. I do applaud Obama for what he has all ready. It will take a lot of work to continue on in America even longer after he is out of office.

Obama is just picking up where bush left off. "he can't save the world overnight". it's been almost 2 years! he hasn't kept one promise he's made. he brought SOME troops home, then talks about sending like 60,000 more? WTF. you all think obama is a "good president". we haven't had a good president since JFK.

No he can't solve the problems overnight because unfortunately he has a lot on his plate. He has to deal with each issue one by one. I feel bad for him, I swear he's got so much to do that he can't even multi-task. It's such a shame what this world is coming to. He's just a human like the rest of us, if he had super powers that would be awesome but he doesn't. Just flesh and bones like the rest of us. Just like we get stressed out, he may get stressed out. He's not a machine.

Only Jesus can save the world....  :notworthy:

'Jesus' isn't sitting in the Oval Office, he isn't paying for food and medicine that people need, he's not creating jobs, he is not straightening out the bank and housing debacle, or any other problems that are running this country into the ground. Guess what, Obama isn't either. So what's your point? I hate idiotic remarks like that when they are brought up in a discussion like this, they serve NO point whatsoever.

Oh, gee! I think only Lassie can save the world! :notworthy: He'll be back long before jesus anyway. ::)

You can try to save the world or heal the world but it is impossible, no person could save the world, our only hope is Jesus.

Obama is the most useless and dangerous president this country has ever seen. His beliefs are rooted in the socialization of a nation. Not only has he not kept a single promise he made, he has created the biggest deficit in the history of this country. A deficit that our children and their children will have to pay back. He has pushed socialized medicine and passed it as law. Sure everybody wanted health care change, but who wants to be punished for not wanting to buy health insurance, why should someone be forced to pay for something they don't want? Some people still can't afford to buy health insurance and because they can't afford it, Obama's law fines them. I call that unconstitutional as it takes away people's right and freedom to choose.
Obama has taken 6 vacations this year and its only September. He didn't have the respect for the thousands of people that lost their lives in the twin towers on 9/11, deciding that it wasn't worth his time to visit ground zero on the 9th anniversary. Sure, he went to the Pentagon, I guess they were more worthy of his time.
The country can't afford another Obama term. One term under Obama's rule and regime is one term too many.

Would you do any better as the president?  Why does everyone think that they know everything, and have the solution to every problem in this world?? Saying that he is useless and dangerous makes NO SENSE, and it's a very selfish remark. If you really knew how indepth the office of the presidency is, you wouldn't be saying these thgings. How does this make things better for you by saying negativity? No one will ever get everything that they want, no matter who or what promises it, so why don't you give it a try-you seem to know everything that a president has to do.......

And lets not forget all the White House parties he and Michelle are constantly having.  Here in this type of economy right now when your average citizens are working hard to just maintain or survive.  And, not to mention the fact he nor anyone else up there will have to be a part of the new healthcare program......

I'm with you guys on this one ^

....and I don't think I know everything, or that I can do a better job, or that Obama can change anything overnight either. No matter who is president, there's always going to be people who oppose them and dont agree with them, that doesn't mean that they think they know everything or can do better, its just the way it is.

Obviously you have no clue what you are talking about. Your lack of intelligence and knowledge of how government works makes me laugh. Your an idiot, maybe if you went back to school and paid attention you could back up your statement with facts instead of idiotic nonsense.
