what do you think about president obama?

[Shutmeup3030150]

I personally really like him. I don't understand whats NEGATIVE about his new health care bill; it helped my dad get health insurance. No one else would give it to him til this bill was passed.

I think we are letting the wool slip over our eyes, but hey that is with all politions, democrats, republicans, all of them are rich and we pay more taxes than we make, I figured, if we had what we paid in taxes alone, we would have a nicer place than we are living in now, the taxes they take could afford us a bigger place. I am tired of supporting everyone on a middle class income.

WHERE'S the insult?   Huh?   After ALL the insulting posts you have posted in responding to others....you are thanking ME  for an insult?  REALLY? I find that kind of hard to believe.  I didn't post anything intended to be insulting....but I guess sometimes the truth hurts.  Need a band-aid?

You're making this too personal. I apologize that you take the reality of things as insults. You can't have an argument-- forget I said anything.

I am tired of supporting everyone on a middle class income.

I'm glad we help people that are getting shafted (losing their jobs, lost insurance and kids are sick, can't find another job) The way I see it is the people taking advantage of our taxes (the low-lifes who refuse to even look for a job, etc.) are getting so little that they aren't amounting to anything. Even if they're using our cash, they're wasting their lives not trying to grow from it. They live in a land known for opportunity and they'd rather squander it leeching off of others. So screw 'em.

I mostly agree with your entire post. A big chunk of it goes into our defense and security though.

A lot of people are juding him negatively as if its his fault. Bush really screwed up so many things and hes doing his best to fix it. Being the president is the hardest job in the world. Do you know how much stress he has?

"I'M MAKING THIS TOO PERSONAL"?   dude, you're the one that started it!!  

You posted the article and amplified why we're not safe and stated no reasoning behind it. It's practically yellow journalism on a forum.

WHERE'S the insult?

"you little slow boiling frog". If you're referring to the tale, don't call me naive as to what's happening if you have nothing to back up your claim of how we're less safe.

I can't help it if you NEVER like any of my answers and feel a need to argue with me about them

If they made any sense, I wouldn't need to. Who knows? Other people who dislike Obama may just take your word on the article without even reading it and spread the misinformation around. It happens all the time. It needed to be corrected.

Geez.....maybe YOU need a nap & a juicebox!!!!

That'd be fantastic. I went to bed at 2 am last night.

2.) Super.....did you happen to catch the TITLE of the article?  It's titled "Obama LIMITS when we can use nuclear arms"....hello?  Does this say "MORE SAFE NOW" to YOU?  (He CHANGED the current policy, it WASN'T changed to be MORE safe---you need to read it really good.  Read it like you were reading the fine print on a contract and maybe you'll get it!  

First off, yes. Lessening the use of nuclear arms is a good idea. I do feel safer. Not necessarily for just the US, but the rest of the world. Why? I read more than just a title.

Obama described his policy as part of a broader effort to edge the world toward making nuclear weapons obsolete, and to create incentives for countries to give up any nuclear ambitions.
“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.”
“I’m going to preserve all the tools that are necessary in order to make sure that the American people are safe and secure,” he said in the interview in the Oval Office.

This means he does not want to add a apocalyptic scenario to an under-developed country due to terrorism. He wants to have our lesser-weapons ready to subdue any threat of that magnitude. This is the equivalent of stepping on a poisonous spider with a shoe rather than running a titan-tire over it-- who knows what else you may smash. Also understand that this review excludes Iran and North Korea for very good reasons (as I'm sure you can agree).

"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."
“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.”

So the option to use nukes is pretty much still there though.

Maybe if you got MORE sleep....everyone else would make more sense to you and you might make some too!!

Well no plan is existence is 100% perfect. But I'm the one not making sense? Maybe you should start by actually stating why I'm wrong for thinking this.

[brendy1990]

i am very optimistic, and i think he is doing good all things considered, he did something about health care ,good or bad at least he is trying, and the greedy heatlh insurance companys dont like it
you should watch Michael Moores movie Capitalism a love story... the movie really makes you think.

[Falconer02]

When the water gets too warm for you, maybe you'll come to your senses.

Alright so keep your nose up and arms folded hoping that I'll be wrong so you can have moral superiority once the nukes drop. If you're going to go make a difference, just get the facts straight and don't jump into yellow journalism. That's all I'm saying.

he's aight. i didnt know he smoked. which is different for a figurehead

He is doing great, yeah he smokes and left handed, he also said that he had smoke marijuana before

[strumcat]

What do I think of President Obama...now that he is in office, I'd say that he has had a lot to contend with and yes, some are making things more difficult. I can't recall a President ever walking in and having an easy time of it though. It takes time for good change to occur, so I'd rather judge after he completes his term. Unemployment, 2 wars, health care, Supreme Court nominations... lots of irons in the fire.

Some people like him. Some people love him. Some people thinks that he is crazy.
