Ok I don’t actually live in the US but the attitude of the people towards their most recent president is shocking. Its all well and good to be remembered as a great president during boom times because nothing goes wrong but Obama was given a steaming pile of …..lets say socks for censorships sake. What did the people really expect? That he would somehow pull the country out of the toilet when he has only been in power for a year? Even though the minimum to take a country out of a recession is 3 for most developed countries.
And the there are people calling him a socialist, and how bad that is. One of the strongest countries in the world, Germany, has adopted many of the traits of a socialist country. Socialism isn’t bad. Its just different. Is it ignorance of the American people that leads them to believe its the Apocalypse?
And on a forum recently there were several HUNDRED comments on how Obama is a dumbass etc for not using The US’ oil reserves. I was truely astonished that people can be that short sighted. In the short run the oil may be cheaper but when it runs out other countries will have the US by the balls. Which is why it is being done the other way around at the moment. And then a few comments even suggested that Palin should be the next President…..my god. She is a fine politician yes but she talks big and gives Obama a slating but that means jack until she is in his position. Politics 101 people.
As for the Guantanamo Bay issue, well at least he is TRYING to keep to his word. Most politicians are all talk but once they get power they just say "Oh I can’t do that,sorry". Yes his administration has missed the deadline but they have made progress towards its eventual closure.
My final gripe is that of the war in the Middle East. I do not agree with this war at all but I can understand that from an economic point of view it would cripple the US economy if he withdrew all the troops.
People it is easy to pin the blame on one man when he is looking after 300 million others, cleaning up the mess of the single most under qualified President of the US ever and trying to juggle these with the everyday issues that arise.
Open your minds.
You said it pal, you don’t live here. We don’t like socialism, big government, arrogant leaders or people that don’t understand limited Constitutional Republics. You may think a "little socialism" isn’t bad, but it never ends there and keeps growing. It’s like a little bit pregnant. No one is blaming Obama for everything, it’s just that he has pushed us pass the tolerant level. He and people like him have finally awakened enough Americans and we want our country back..period. Arm chair liberals (assuming you are that flavor) never get it, America was founded on principles not loved by the left such as our bill of rights. When you mess with our country, people, liberties or attack us (9-11) you personally mess with each one of us and that’s when you get hurt. With all due respect to your beliefs, don’t bash us for your lack of understanding of ours. Have a nice day.

Because He is a Socialist/Fascist.
And He just can’t handle the job.
Corruption is the only thing He is good at.
(You’ve never worked and held a job, have you?)
What 3rd World Country do you live in, eh?

See now you and Obama have something in common, both of you were not born in the US and both of you think you could run the US better than anyone else. That’s why he is getting so much criticism because of his narcissistic personality. The man promises, pledges to do one thing and never actually does it and when you call him out on it he reverts back to the blame game, nothing is ever his responsibility.

You are living on another planet if you can’t see what this man is about and what a total failure he is as a leader. Excuses, excuses that is all we get and more government spending on programs that put us deeper and deeper into debt. The man is an elitist and a class warfare specialist along with being a superb liar.

He desperately wants to be bipartisan and get the republicans involved in his presidency. And in the process of doing that, since the republicans are acting like 2 year olds (no, no no, to every question asked) he’s not getting any of his good ideas passed through the senate. Reasoning with them is a waste of time, he should’ve just ran through his proposals with the support of the senate majority that he had. Oh well, he’s still the best candidate from the 2008 elections.
