what do u think of oboma ? i DON'T THING HE IS DOING ANT GOOD FOR THE COUNTY.HIM AND ALL HID TAX AND SPEND BUDDY.ARE GOING TO BANKRUPT US ALL!
-
What's REALLY going to bankrupt us is continuing George Bush's expensive wars and Bush's economic policy of handing money to the superwealthy---who invest the money in foreign factories that take American jobs--- with no strings attached!!! How cab you expect even a brilliant man like Obama to clean up such a mess in 19 months??
-
he is a gud man
-
NO BOMA he promised so many things and i think he took on more then he can handle. If he focused on 1 or 2 main issues he would have a easier time. Look at how much he has aged since he took office. I dont agree with his methods but i do feel for the guy he has alot on his plate.
-
I don't think much of him. I don't think the president has much power, he is controlled by interests that have more power and control than him. IMo the position of "president" is something that verges on the lines of almost being ceremonial in purpose and is barely significant. The majority of people don't realize this so it gives those with power the opportunity to do their bad deeds behind closed doors.
-
It took years to get into this mess. He can't change it in two years.

I AGREE! How anyone can blame Obama for the mess W made is beyond me!!!!!!

First of all it is Obama. Secondly, every one wants to keep putting the blame on Bush. While I agree he also made mistakes one cannot keep placing blame on everything that is transpiring in our current government and ecomony. Obama has been in office nearing two years and he has not assisted in making anything better but rather followed in making things worse. Where are the jobs he promised? Where is the economy boost? Why are we bailing out companies that did not assist the citizens? I could go on and on.
I think people need to evaluate the situation and stop defending Obama. If people want to defend Obama rather than posting he has only been in office for 19 months then post what positive things he has done. At that point, maybe one would have a good discussion.
Thank you all for your consideration.

This. However, Obama has been a very big disappointment to me. We need bold leadership right now, but he's relying on the interests and thinking that's been destroying this country since Reagan began to seriously jack things up.
-
I'm really not sure about him yet. Only time will tell.
-
it is not a matter of what we think of him. I know he is a Marxist communist because he admitted it in his book. I know his healthcare bill is a socialist communist plan to force everyone to get health insurance, and thus control everyone's lives. I know he is forcing the country into bankruptcy to get the opportunity for total communist takeover. He made history not for being the first black president, but for being the first openly communist president. So what can I think of a person who finally has made the USA a communist country?
-
He's a one term President and he knows it. That is why he is introducing all of these bad and pricey policies. People must stop blaming Bush for all of the problems. Once he became President, he was in command. If Bush broke something, then Obama must fix it and stop blaming other people for the mess we are in. Great leaders don't blame others, they identify the problem and fix it. After 19 months in the job, it's time to admitt that things are not going right and that it will take more time. He must now accept the blame on the bad economy on himself.
-
If you can't spell the president's name then you shouldn't bother trying to talk about politics.

Obama has not done anything to better this country. IMO. He's filled the people's heads with empty promises. He has spent more money in the first 2yrs on vacations and nonsense. Obama has said his intentions were to redistribute wealth as a means to help the poor, the underprivileged, etc... but his unstated intentions are the same as all politicians of his ilk; "to reach into as much private wealth as possible as a means towards expanding State power and control." He's for the redistribution of wealth from the middle-class workers and producers to the already rich Wall Street bankers and financial executives. Whether Obama is intentionally implementing a communist America or whether he has a communist agenda, or whether Obama follows the teachings of radical community organizer Saul Alinsky, is actually not as important as Obama’s actual actions as president. He's shown us what he is capable of, and its not going to be good for this country.
-
Obama is president. He got elected in 2008.
-
Its funny when i talk to people who voted for him how much they have changed and feel about him. Complete 180
-
Obama is the president of the U.S. and he has a black father and a white mother.
-
Also he is a terrorist. He tried to blow up the white house, by making toast with a faulty toaster. ARAB!
</sarcasm>

I think he is doing the best he can do (the best ANYONE can do) right nw. People seem to blame Obama when we wouldn't even be in this situation if it wasn't for the Bush administration. Bush had EIGHT YEARS to turn this country around, but every year it just got worse. Obama became President at a very difficult time. BUT, he has only been the President for a year and a half. You cannot actually expect someone to change this country in that short amount of time. And in that short amount of time, he HAS done a lot. But, the media chooses not to focus on that. People seem to forget that the President really doesn't have that much power. If the congress doesn't want something done, it doesn't get done. No matter how much Obama wants it to happen. Give him more time. I know it's easy to judge, but you've got to give someone more time than a year and a half.
(And he hasn't made "empty promises". Everything he's said he would do, he's been trying to make happen. You have to be extremely naive to believe that everything he's promised would happen so quickly. He even said that it wouldn't be easy.)
-
I think he's great! why wouldn't i love a wall street boot-licking president? he puts wall street and big corporation's profits before the u.s. people. he lies, breaks the constitution, supported illegal spying on the american people (the "patriot" act), supported the banker's bailout, (which, by the way, ROBBED us of trillions of dollars.) Then sat by and let them loan OUR money BACK to us at interest, let them hoard the money and buy out other banks, insurance companies, media empires, etc., etc...Now why wouldn't i trust that he'll change america and support him?
-
what do u think of oboma ? i DON'T THING HE IS DOING ANT GOOD FOR THE COUNTY.HIM AND ALL HID TAX AND SPEND BUDDY.ARE GOING TO BANKRUPT US ALL!
I DON'T FEEL THE PRESIDENT IS WORKING HARD ENOUGH TO GET THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BACK TO WORK. I THINK THE AVERAGE AMERICAN JUST WANTS TO GO BACK TO WORK SO THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND GET THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF THEIR BUSINESS!!

Both of these posts are correct 100%. I couldn't have said it better.

HE sucks.. and the raise he gave the military sucks to.. kinda messed up people that refuse to get a job and stay on welfar get better money then the military...

The only thing that I can't stand is when people blame others for things that happen. "this is his fault" "I wouldn't have had this happen if THAT didn't happen first" "it's not MY fault"

I hear you on that. Seniors on SSI have been denied COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) for 2010, and just got word that it's going to be denied for 2011 again. These are people on fixed incomes already, and the price on food, medical, utilities, rent, etc. is still going up.

Thank you all for your consideration.
Let see, what has Obama done to fix things for the past 19 months that took bush 8 years to destroy. 1. Like it or not your getting health insurance, 2. We are now according to statics out of the recession, 3. are troops are leaving the middle east. 4. that oil spill was taking cared of pretty quickly even though people was bitching about it for months. What has bush done for the past 8 years to destroy this country & dumping it on Obama's watch. Let's see....1. started a war that we didn't need to be in. 2. It cost trillions to start a war. 3. Tax breaks for his rich buddies. 3. Dumping taxes to the middle & poor class. 4. Lied about cutting taxes in his election vows. 5. The rich, middle,poor class was suppose to be taxed according to their income status. That was a big laugh as a large chunk of my pay check was destroyed each month thanks to bush's lies. 6. Thank you bush for doing such a crappy job in aiding Katrina victims. As of today, they are still picking up the pieces. 7. Those banks that your bitching about now with Obama in office. You can thank Mr. X-pres. bush for that. Who do you think was his buddies; he was giving tax breaks to? It sure wasn't the middle & poor class. So, YES, PRESIDENT OBAMA is doing a great job for 19 months in office. With others contently blocking his efforts to help the country, I think he's the right man for the job. So, until you're in the president's seat & see how it's really like....SHUT - UP & SUPPORT YOUR PRESIDENT!!!!
-
i liked him to start with but he promises to many lies. like to help on health insurance. my dad lost his job.. we had to pay 1500 dollar just for a month and it took them 2 months to get it straight.... that did not help us in our time of need.

I DONT TAKE SIDES BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN SCREWED UP FINANCIAL FOR DECADES BUT YOU CANT EXPECT MIRACLES IN A DAY...BESIDES THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN IN DEBT SINCE THE FIRST WAR WITH THE BRITISH FOR OUR INDEPENDENCE..SO TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR A MARKER THAT HUGE GOOD LUCK

THANK YOU! You give me hope that there are some people in America in this thread that are not Judgmental IDIOTS!!!! It's easy to sit back & complain & *bleep* when you're not the one with the country on your shoulders. I should have known better then to respond this because I've seen way too many Idiots on this thread. It's really scaring me. Esp. the idiot that don't even know how to spell Obama' s name when posting this question. That should have been a sure sign that idiotic morons would respond. So far, I counted 5 idiots on this thread. Again, thank you for giving me hope from your response.

Nothing good. I can't wait until he's out of office.

i really do not know, that much, about him .i do not like us in the war, i do want health care to improve, better schools, more jobs ,and less debt.

And this is Obama's fault? The health care system in this country had been screwed up for decades. He finally got something passed that so many people were against and people want to call him a communist because he wanted a system that was better than what we have now? It just barely passed it's not going to be changed overnight.

I couldn't agree with this more.
The point you're trying to make is missed however; people have this blind support of him that he can do zero wrong.
The problem that a lot of people miss is, that in theroy this goes back way before Bush, the bubble however, burst while on his watch. Not saying he was a great president or anything. His unconstitutional wars, TARP, and other bailout programs have hurt the economy more than help, but Obama has done nothing more than continue these exact same things. He's no difference if you actually can look at it with an unbiased look.
He hasn't done anything different. He's still warmongering outside of the US, he's still bailing out companies that deserve and need to fail, he's still spending our childrens future at an unprecidented rate.
What gets me though is how people fail to see any difference. Most with this blind faith of him seem to think he can do nothing wrong, when in my opinion, this si exactly bush's third term. Nothing has changed except become much much worse. Unemployment is still at record highs and our taxes are still beyond control. We spend more money than we take in and yet they want to continue these failed policies. The lobbyists control us, and while people seem to think this healthcare boondoggle was a great idea; why are my rates going up if I take the letter I received from my provider stated. Why are companies going to stop allowing health care? Why are 1099's going to be required now of all transactions concerning gold? There's a lot more out there than what you can get through fox/msnbc/cnn and until people stop following him blindly we're exactly where we were 2 years ago which is where we were 2 years before that.
There is zero difference between him and the previous president.

I'm sorry, but is this snark? I really can't tell.
-
Um, well....I wouldn't call him a piece of (you know what), I do believe He is a closet Muslim, with Socialist tendencies, and I wholeheartedly believe he is running the country into the ground.
The argument that there is no difference between him and Bush is not correct. While every President inherits the problems of the previous country's President, to continuously blame the Bush administration shows a lack of insight and accountability. Some of the situations we are facing TODAY under our present President......Obama:
1. He's given the bailout money to banks and Wall Street to buy up other banks, financial institutions, and insurance companies. They have taken that money, and also lent it back to the public at eccentric interest rates, or hoarded it and not approved loans at all. Even to those who would qualify over the top, like small business's.
2. He made sure he got his Health Bill passed. What most American people don't realize, is that we are going to pay through the nose for it over time. If you don't "opt" for health insurance, you'll be fined. It will be Gov't. policy that everyone carry health insurance.....wether you want it or not, or pay a hefty fine.
3. He's slapped the Senior population in the face and denied COLA for them now for 2 years in a row (since he's been in office). First time in 37 years. These are people that can hardly pay for food, utilities, and medical, because their on a fixed income. During this time, He's made sure their Medicare/Medicaid premiums have been raised in spite of no increase in their incomes. That doesn't include the co-pays, meds., medical testings, etc. The Gov't has also raised those payments even though no COLA to help Seniors absorb the cost.
4. He's taken numerous vacations in the 18 months he's been in office, all on the taxpayers dime. A date night out with his wife, one night, cost the taxpayers $73,000.
5. The tax cuts that Bush put in place are in the process of being done away with. Obama is now rewriting the tax laws. Get ready, some will be implemented coming January 2011. Others over the next 2 years. They aren't pretty, and the taxes are hiked for the middle class. Anybody can research this on the web. A couple can only claim a single deduction. Also, they are talking of taking the Schedule A out of the mix all together. No more itemized items you can claim on your taxes. lowering the limits of what you can claim (a ceiling amount).
6. His promise of stopping our jobs going overseas is not happening. In fact, he's opening more trade and commerce with these countries that harbor massive US companies overseas, and protect them from paying American taxes.
7. He's had the Homeland Security Manual modified to where anyone can be brought up on terrorist charges....even Christian groups. He's waffling on the decision if the US should also join the World Court. As of yet, we are still independent of this, and you can thank Bush for keeping us independent. Research the World Court and what it implies and represents. If you have any problem with your rights being taken from you, you wouldn't want the US to endorse this at all.
He's been in office 19 months, and has accomplished nothing for the American Taxpayers, except bury them in debt.

Also, they are talking of taking the Schedule A out of the mix all together. No more itemized items you can claim on your taxes. lowering the limits of what you can claim (a ceiling amount).
6. His promise of stopping our jobs going overseas is not happening. In fact, he's opening more trade and commerce with these countries that harbor massive US companies overseas, and protect them from paying American taxes.
7. He's had the Homeland Security Manual modified to where anyone can be brought up on terrorist charges....even Christian groups. He's waffling on the decision if the US should also join the World Court. As of yet, we are still independent of this, and you can thank Bush for keeping us independent. Research the World Court and what it implies and represents. If you have any problem with your rights being taken from you, you wouldn't want the US to endorse this at all.
He's been in office 19 months, and has accomplished nothing for the American Taxpayers, except bury them in debt.
Are you sure the information you just spewed out is true?!!!! Just because you see it in the news doesn't mean it's true. Everybody, lies to get what they want. All of Obama's enemies love to twist everything around so that it makes him look bad. Just because he's president doesn't mean his power is absolute. He has to go through both the house & the senate to pass these laws. Many times the republicans are the reason why we are not getting what is promised. He is blocked by them at every turn. You can thank Bush for starting a war that we didn't need to be in, in the first place costing us trillions. In which was dumped on Obama's lap! The way I see it, Obama is mopping up the huge crap of diarrhea Bush had spewed out behind him! As for the monies spent on going out w/his wife....you need to check out how much the previous presidents' had spent while living in the white house b4 you judge. At least it was his wife he took out on dates. ;)

Once again, people always putting this on Bush. I didn't like Bush either, but this war was not his fault. That crap was gonna happen whether Bush was president or not. In fact, the troubles going on in the middle east have been going for way longer than people like to think, or know.... People need to wake up!

What's REALLY going to bankrupt us is continuing George Bush's expensive wars and Bush's economic policy of handing money to the superwealthy---who invest the money in foreign factories that take American jobs--- with no strings attached!!! How cab you expect even a brilliant man like Obama to clean up such a mess in 19 months??
I completely agree with this and he is a well educated man, and being good educated makes difference nothing changes in days or months and I don't agree with the one who said
"If Bush broke something, then Obama must fix it and stop blaming other people for the mess we are in"
what Bush broke and waste in complete 8 years no one can fix it in 19 months, It wasn't only wasting money and destroying economy it's far beyond that, the Number of people who became anti American in the whole world has increased dramatically in Bush time, the people who see he was lying about Iraq and the system in Iraq they don't differentiate between Bush and Americans. the Anti American doesn't exist only in Arab countries no in the whole world so Obama had to clear it out and try to eliminate those by stating that he will close Guantanamoo and he will leave Iraq but not Afghanistan because he is not in a war with Muslims he is in a war with Alqaeda no one can blame him to complete fighting with the people who attacked his country, This is the difference between having an educated president and another non educated one. And by the way I don’t believe he is a Muslim too. I think we should give him some time and not to expect it would return back in a few years it’s always take more time to fix than the time you spend in breaking anything

all obama knows how to do is blame everything on bush. sure, some of the problems are his fault, but not everything! obama needs to man up and take responsibility for his own actions and their consequences.

Mama raised me that if you can't say nuffin good about a man don't say nuffin at all. Nuff said.

I believe our country is at risk like it never have ben before. Right now our goverment is spending us into oblivion. Intelligent economist are saying we have already passed the point of no return; that is, the US will not be able to payd her debts. Our children and grand children are going to inherit a terrible legacy.
I believe the president is simply following the agenda given to him by new world order gurus who know they cannot take control as long as the US is strong economically.

Everyone wants to say that Obama messed up the country! He didn't it was already a disater when he got it and it is going to take more than 4 years to fix this mess!!!

You're right. This country's been messed up for a long time. I doubt it will ever change (for the better), Because the people in control, only have their best interests in mind. ...corruption, greed... :angry7:

If you think it's the past administration's fault and only that, you have some serious bandwagoning going on. This country has been on a severe downward spiral for quite some time and no, this administration is not going to fix any of it. His lobbyist friends are screwing us just as hard as the last one. Only way things will change is if a 3rd party or someone outside of typical politics gets elected, unfortunatly in our 1 party system with two sides, that doesn't look like it will happen unless by some miracle, Ron Paul wins the election and since he's polling higher than everyone right now, I don't see that as such a big miracle.
But hey you keep on your "I :heart: Obama" "He's the bestest evar!!!!!!!1111" bandwagon. Your blind faith is working out well for you. Did MSNBC tell you all of this amazing information?
-
I think that America is going to be unhappy with any president in office, because the opposing party will always find some way to slander the other one, to get their party elected back in office, this is pride, talken about someone else to elevate yourself. We do it in life, and we definitely do it in politics, this nation is full of immaturity.

I believe he has done a complete crappy job. First, the health care reform is rediculous. All it is doing is hurting the people who have health insurance. It might be helping the people without health care but, frankly, if our health insurance goes up any more then we'll be without health insurance too. Instead of jacking up taxes yet again to cover for the people who don't pay them, I think we should lower all health care costs. Secondly, yes the war is expensive and I still stand behind our veterans and I am still completely for this war. Obama has done nothing to hinder or encourage the war. Lastly, he needs to stop trying to take away our guns. All that is doing is making people mad, including myself, and if it succeeds it will leave us law abiding citizens helpless against criminals. Because obviously criminals don't follow the rules so they would be the ones with weapons and not us. Obviously, I don't like Obama at all. :angry7:

In 1935, farmers were going absolutely bankrupt. Reasoning behind it was the banks were forclosing on farms that they said they had rights to due to leins on the money. It was hurting more people than helping because without the farms opperating, other people went hungry. Fast forward to today, we currently have a mortgage meltdown and this is what pisses me off from people who have blind faith in current leadership; if he would say institute another absolute moratorium on forclosures (which previous administrations have done and set precedence from) we could have saved a ton of peoples houses and livelyhoods.
Obama has filled his cabinet with oneoffs from the wallstreet banks, it's absolutely filled with it. You can say what you want, I can however; back this up with facts. If Obama actually cared about the people as much as he says he does; he would put this moritorium into effect, it doesn't happen because of HIS wallstreet buddies would then go bankrupt.
Frazier-Lemke Moratorium Act of 1935, it stopped the the actual banks from kicking people out of their farms. You keep saying he's helping the economy and helping people... inacting something like this would actually do something instead of what he is currently doing... absolutely nothing.

Well, he could have easily fixed a ton of these problems almost immedietly if he actually cared.
He VOTED FOR the patriot act when he was in congress.
He as commander in chief could easily pull us out of these wars.
He could easily close GTMO.
Obviously you too have blind :heart: for him.
Keep being a sheeple of the state and you like Ben Franklin said "Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither".
Read for yourself and you'll see that this administration is zero differenent than the previous one.
I don't see why it's so difficult for people to look at the past transgressions of persons and equate that nothing more than failure will come. Look at how poorly ran Chicago is... DC is no different.
Also, Obama was in Congress while Bush was in office, which was controlled by democrats. They didn't do anything of note then, nor push back on any of these things. Sheeple... keep thinking big nanny government can take care of all of your problems. Or can you not have a thought process of your own not given to you spoon fed from Keith Olbermann? Which one is it?
-
I love Obama! I feel sorry for him. He has such a mess to clean up. Bush's policies are almost impossible for poor Obama to fix as fast as everyone wants him to. He's trying as hard as he can. Bush messed everything up too much for one president's term to fix.
-
I had my entire family vote for him, since I wasn't 18 at the time. I approve 110%. =]
-
oboma? Do you mean Obama?
-
Well, he could have easily fixed a ton of these problems almost immedietly if he actually cared.
How could he have done this when practically the entire congress is against him? He has to fight tooth and nail to get anything passed. He can't do it by himself especially when he has no support from the people who are supposed to help his legislation get passed.
-
Well the people didn't support most of his legislation especially if you look at polling data from most of his initiatives.
There were ways of fixing things without increasing burden on the taxpayer and both this and the previous administration are guilty in the whole "too big to fail" crap. If he would have let these idiots fail I think he would have had much more respect from people.
Why the hell did he bail out a failing auto company to pay overpriced pensions? Why if he really was against the big banks on wallstreet fill his cabinet with people from the banks that screwed us, and then bail them out even more. Why has inflation increased as well as price of goods with more funny money magically created by the federal reserve that won't allow for their books to be audited? How can the fed create 600 billion dollars out of thin air to provide more stimulus?
When people start reading more and more Mises and Hayek and Ron Paul; you'll see that as far as econmics go, we're in the middle of a crap sandwich and unfortunatley shows zero signs of real recovery. If real recovery was happening, you'd see more jobs being created and less people losing homes.
This has nothing to do with politics, but everything to do with macro econmic theroy.
