I don't like how he asks for change. He has plenty of money already. -snigger- I never really bother myself about politics, mostly because I don't understand any of it at all. But if McCain or however you spell it died then Sarah Palin would take over and she's insane! Also Obama looks cool, so I imagine he is cool.  |

Even though I'm not American I still like him. I hear he has been talking to Russia and the Middle East about peace and whatnot, and if that's big enough to be on the British news then it means he's actually doing something good.

Italian news too. But then again they always steal things from us so it's not much of a big deal..

The ideas and beliefs being forced upon the American people by Obama and his fellow left-wing croonies will inevitably (and quickly) turn America into a facist nation. That is, if the people of the nation don't fight back...

I really don't care if Obama does good or gets shot in the face.

I really don't care if Obama does good or gets shot in the face. Why post?
I think he's done some good, some bad. What many people don't understand is that being president isn't "Oh, everyone wants this so lets do it lol", there's a lot of decision making and planning going on. |

Actually decision making and planning is what makes a president really so I estimate that everyone knows that  |

That is, if the people of the nation don't fight back... I'm sorry, but what was THAT? Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Is that what he's doing? Trying to defeat the weak by giving them free healthcare, lowering their taxes, and helping the economy so they don't falter? Fascist INDEED. |

I support his idea of an American NHS for those who aren't insured. It does seem a bit cruel if you can't pay for life-saving surgery....In Britain, our NHS works (well.....ish) but at least we don't need to pay for 'insurance' and it's free (forgetting taxes).

I want to see ONE good republican president in the past 30 years.
Nixon? No. He quit. After pumping approximately one sh*tload of soldiers into Vietnam.
Ford? No. He didn't really do anything to help the economy or our stance on the Cold War.
Reagan? No. Never. He was the CAUSE of the economic crisis that was only delayed by Clinton.
Bush Sr.? No. New taxes? Yes. Economic fail? Yes. Complete *sshole? YES.
Bush Jr.? No. I don't even WANT to start with him.
Now democrats:
Carter? Certainly more active than Ford. He worked peacefully and quickly with the Middle East and the USSR, and concentrated on energy conservation, which few presidents saw to be a major threat in the near future.
Clinton? Yes. He spent practically all of his presidency fixing the mistakes of Reagan and Bush.
I see a pattern.

Well don't forget the certain bad things Clinton did....
Anyways I honestly detest how Obama uses the same "It's time for change" saying over and over. Well I was wondering, where's the change!? The economy is barely picking up again not really thanks to his doing, medicare is still pretty bad even though he plans on fixing it, and he's trying to do so much at once it's only making things worse.....

Look, the presidents' job is to try. Even if you are sucessful then some people would still hate you. If he doesn't do anything at all, then everyone would hate him. And a lot of people use that slogan. In Birtain, The Tories' (our version of democrats) slogan is 'Vote for change' because Labour (republicans) have been in a long time and now people are getting bored of them. It's a good tactic.

A good tactic that's starting to lose its overall strength.....either way he tried doing too much at one time, creating turmoil with his reputation viewed by the average American.....

How can anybody truthfully say that Obama is doing a good job so far as president of the US?
In less than a year in office he has:
*Destroyed the US economy with the help of his radically left-leaning Congress
*Gained control over much of the country's automobile companies and banks through rapid- fire bailouts passed by Congress
* Surrounded himself with self-proclaimed Marxists and Socialists (namely his 'czars')
*Pushed a massive healthcare reform bill upon the American public, whom the majority of clearly and undeniably DON'T WANT
*Sent tens of thousands of additional troops over to Afghanistan, despite promising to bring the troops home during his campaign
*Avoided conversation about a little organization that received large amounts of money during his campaign and administration called ACORN, who have recently been found to be promoting teenage prostitution and the breaking of law in order to avoid paying taxes
And the list just grows...
The morals and ethics that used to guide this great nation are beginning to fade into oblivion under Obama's administration. Those who dare criticize his decisions are instantly labled as racists, bigots, haters, angry mobs, Nazis, etc. All the while, Obama's starry-eyed supporters just keep on drinking the Kool-aid. Now some of these radical leftists have begun to to turn to the youth, teaching innocent-minded kindergarten students chants and songs that praise and glorify Obama (to recite in place of the Pledge of Allegiance).
TELL ME THERE ISN'T SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALL OF THIS!
I truly hope and pray that our country will eventually get back on track.
Our future depends on it...

Ye gods, this is just reps vs. democrats...
Mattoroni, the economy was already buggered long ago, before he took office. The reason people voted for him was to get you out of the mess.
About the idea of an American NHS, people say it would be socialist. The Brits, the French and many other countries have an NHS, but are we socialist? No.
Some people can never be satisfied....

How can anybody truthfully say that Obama is doing a good job so far as president of the US? In less than a year in office he has: *Destroyed the US economy with the help of his radically left-leaning Congress If you think the economy is "destroyed," try living from 1929 to 1938 in America. At that point, buying on credit nearly caused the economy to collapse.*Gained control over much of the country's automobile companies and banks through rapid- fire bailouts passed by Congress Here, I'm truly curious, not trying to make any point: how did his administration get control over those corporations after providing bail-outs?* Surrounded himself with self-proclaimed Marxists and Socialists (namely his 'czars') Why does it seem that everyone uses those terms with negative connotations? Economic and political equality, although hard to apply in the real world, are very good things.*Pushed a massive healthcare reform bill upon the American public, whom the majority of clearly and undeniably DON'T WANT I thought 80% of Americans DID want some health care reform while various congressmen and senators, who already have their own provided health care, didn't want to give others such care?*Sent tens of thousands of additional troops over to Afghanistan, despite promising to bring the troops home during his campaign Alright, when we first sent troops over to Afghanistan and other nations, we committed ourselves to an ethical obligation. If we were to pull out troops now, the nations we tried to better would encounter problems that could threaten its, and possibly the world's, safety (think of the domino effect during the Cold War...). Our ultimate purpose for sending troops over in the first place would be dashed to pieces. If we simply stop sending troops over and keep who we already have overseas there, they would eventually be killed off unless there is (approximately) a 3:2 or better ratio of troops to aggressors. Our goal would likely not be met. If we send more troops over until the conflict ends, then we might be able to reach our original goal, although with significant loss. Either way, there will be dire consequences no matter how it ends up, so we may as well meet our goal.*Avoided conversation about a little organization that received large amounts of money during his campaign and administration called ACORN, who have recently been found to be promoting teenage prostitution and the breaking of law in order to avoid paying taxes And Ulysses S. Grant gets away with all the scandals that took place during his term in office with nothing more than being considered oblivious to his cabinet? Even Abraham Lincoln did various unconstitutional activities such as limiting what newspapers could print about the Civil War (Amendment I) and raising a standing army of several thousand Union soldiers without approval from Congress (Article I, Section VIII). "Honest Abe" gets considered a hero by the Union and everyone in a matter of years after his death.
Even taking our "heroic" presidents out of the picture, why would you criticize Obama for not commenting on such an issue? Would you really talk about it if you were President and some administration affiliated with you promoted illegal activity?And the list just grows... The morals and ethics that used to guide this great nation are beginning to fade into oblivion under Obama's administration. Those who dare criticize his decisions are instantly labled as racists, bigots, haters, angry mobs, Nazis, etc. When has anyone who went against Obama been considered a National Socialist? All the while, Obama's starry-eyed supporters just keep on drinking the Kool-aid. Now some of these radical leftists have begun to to turn to the youth, teaching innocent-minded kindergarten students chants and songs that praise and glorify Obama (to recite in place of the Pledge of Allegiance). When and where has this occurred, might I ask? Aside from having chants replace the Pledge of Allegiance, hasn't Ronald Reagan done something similar in asking American children to "do their part" in advancing the cause of his administration?TELL ME THERE ISN'T SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALL OF THIS! I truly hope and pray that our country will eventually get back on track. I do so too, except by "country" I mean its citizens, not the President and his administration. Alexander Hamilton warned about this...Our future depends on it... |
