He could be our greatest president ever, if he would just stand up to the right-wing lunatics.

I do not get involved with most of the whole political issues that most people care about but I am very disapointed that Obama cancelled the NASA return to the moon program. I was hoping to get involved with the Space program but now I guess I'll be giving tours of what was the space program.

Every President  Inherits proplems, every President has right wing lunatics to deal with,and every president has oposition.Maybe im getting older and understand more about politics. These people in office today cant agree on anything. It just dosnt seem to be as hard to come up with a plan to get this country back to where it should be. There are all kinds of ways to make money, Marijuana, Prostitution, Lower the drinking age, lower the age for cigarettes It dosnt matter underage use is rampant anyway, you cant stop it, But it all comes down to the yahoos we vote for.

IS IT OUR OWN FAULT?  I VOTE

One thing is for sure every President leaves office looking so much older than they really are.

"Break a few eggs" You are funny ... I will see how you feel when the one thing he has actually done while in office takes affect and manages to be the one thing that not only breaks health insurance companies but also puts people on the streets at the same time... Please tell me how the f%^& he thinks he will get homeless people to pay for health care coverage or taxes or medical bills .... The country is cracked and he is making it worse. Force is the only way anything will ever change. It will take the breaking point of the majority of CITIZENS before anything will ever change. As long as we continue to sit back and give them power over us nothing will ever change. The government will grow larger and larger and never doubt they only care about themselves.
     We're with Cuppycake on this one... (unfortunately the majority of citizens still have their heads in the sand thinking everything is going to be just great!)

...and there are those that think they know, only know one side or are so blindly against someone/something they can't understand what is happening....sheep!

What good is going to the moon when we have so many problems here on earth?  Seriously.  You want to see them spend billions more dollars for the moon when we could use that money to pay down the debt, feed the hungry, get the homeless shelter, provide more jobs, better education, the list goes on and on.

IMHO I think the moon landing was fake.  You think they really had that kind of technology back then?  They didn't even have the know how to make a cell phone let along send someone to the moon.

I think that Obama is not helping his country. My husbands in the Military (active duty) He poles majority of his ship mates think Obama is not getting voted second term. I dont support him or his views on this country. PRO-LIFE SOUTHER BAPTIST CHRISTIAN.-Hes ruining this Country founded on GOD. :angel11:
Lol so how many people are on these ships? Is it more then 63+ million? 63+ million being the number of people who voted for him. PRO-CHOICE ATHEIST! If this country was founded on God, he probably should have stepped in and not let him get elected. But he didn't do that did he?

I think he's doing what he can with what he has. And people need to stop being so crabby about it. You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

Don't ask me. That's why I didn't run for president. But I'm getting tired of people who get mad because he DOESN'T do something. Then start complaining when he finally DOES. The day when he does something you all actually approve of, I look forward to your new reactions. If you have a better idea, just run for president next time. I look forward to also defending your actions, if I decide to vote for you.

Thank you!  :notworthy: You know just because things aren't going the way you expect them to, doesn't mean you should lose all hope and expect everyone else to do the same. Because that's not going to happen.

I have freedom and I feel my rights are being violated with his healthcare program.

I agree. But on the other side, insurance companies are horrid businesses and only help the rich and the healthy. This seems like a lose-lose situation. I'm just crossing my fingers that they aren't going to make it mandatory with high premiums coming out of my pay.

This pretty much sums up everything I could type about Obama.

He and the senate have been. Not as tall as I'd like them to, but they have.

It wasn't fake. And they did have the tech back then. I was a huge space-race junkie growing up. You can't put a present cell-phone on the same mantle as the tech they had 40 years ago.

Seeing as how Obama now says its ok for the government to go and murder an American citizen in cold blood, I think he's getting worse with each passing day.  Even Bush and Darth Cheney didn't give themselves that power.

I'm very disappointed with Obama.  He had a chance to really lead, but he isn't.

If anyone needed proof of how much he cares for the US, it's citizens or even his own family....well, there it is.

Did you even read the entire article?

White House officials said the new strategy would include the option of reconsidering the use of nuclear retaliation against a biological attack, if the development of such weapons reached a level that made the United States vulnerable to a devastating strike.

Mr. Obama argued for a slower course, saying, “We are going to want to make sure that we can continue to move towards less emphasis on nuclear weapons,” and, he added, to “make sure that our conventional weapons capability is an effective deterrent in all but the most extreme circumstances.”

Mr. Obama said he wanted a new United Nations sanctions resolution against Iran “that has bite,” but he would not embrace the phrase “crippling sanctions” once used by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. And he acknowledged the limitations of United Nations action. “We’re not naïve that any single set of sanctions automatically is going to change Iranian behavior,”

The document to be released Tuesday after months of study led by the Defense Department will declare that “the fundamental role” of nuclear weapons is to deter nuclear attacks on the United States, allies or partners, a narrower presumption than the past. But Mr. Obama rejected the formulation sought by arms control advocates to declare that the “sole role” of nuclear weapons is to deter a nuclear attack.

“I don’t think countries around the world are interested in testing our credibility when it comes to these issues,” he said. He said such activity would leave a country vulnerable to a nuclear strike, and added, “We take that very seriously because we think that set of threats present the most serious security challenge to the United States.

The summit meeting that opens next week in Washington will bring together nearly four dozen world leaders, the largest such gathering by an American president since the founding of the United Nations 65 years ago. Mr. Obama said he hoped to use the session to lay down tangible commitments by individual countries toward his goal of securing the world’s nuclear material so it does not fall into the hands of terrorists or dangerous states.

His emphasis is just on teaching 'self-control' over supposed trigger-happy and loose-cannon countries that are developing nuclear weapons. It's an extremely justified cause to stand by in this developing world. And why does he do this? Because he cares about his family and the US. And apparently the state of the world.

If you have this insight as to what precisely is going down in politics, what are you going to do about it? Start a resistance? Or just vent on a random forum with average arguments?

if you can read that and feel all loved, warm & fuzzy inside and feel your family, kids and relatives are all ALOT safer now

I'm sure they're just as safe as they were yesterday. Maybe you could explain what's wrong with the current strategy? He's just less trigger-happy with nukes. He wants an effective strategy that won't turn a developing country into a radioactive wasteland (think of the families, kids, and relatives in those countries). This is a good thing.

Politics have always stunk in one way or another.

Perhaps my nose is a little more sensitive than yours.

Your failure to explain your reasoning makes me question this. First, you're taking this article way too personally. Second, you obviously didn't read the article very well if you're taking a highly-opinionated approach over something that's being discussed on a worldly-scale. Third, if you post something, you're going to have to back up your claims as to why we aren't safe despite everything said in the article with something other than "THIS IS BS WE'RE NOT SAFE HE'S TOO PACIFIST AND WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY KILLED!".

This is current news. Nuclear energy is an extremely powerful and scary thing. Given the worlds current state on handling nuclear-power and keeping it as a non-aggressive tool, this sounds like a legitimate plan. Call it warm and fuzzy, but I don't want anything bad to come of this plan. Please explain why I should invest in hazmat suits until he's out of office.

you should REALLY go get a job with the media, you little slow boiling frog you

Looks like someone needs a nap and a juicebox. Well thanks for the insult through my little joke. And for the extremely-detailed explanation of your reasoning of it being a bad plan. I just wanted to correct your obvious misinterpretation of the article you posted so you wouldn't sway minds who would rather just read your quote instead of the whole article.

Good idea I suppose. Keep a view of the present though!

I am not really a big fan of his, but considering what he was left with from the previous leaders messes I think he's doing what he can to try and fix things. Who knows, maybe this will all work out in the future. Only time will tell.
