our new president

[RnsCash]

what does everyone think of our president? i think he is far better than bush ever was or ever would have been

[mc1962]

I also think Obama is doing well, considering the mess that was left to him........Now, if we could just get California back in financial shape 

[Rayshipooki]

  O yes i think he is heaven sent just because he comes in such a unexpected and surprising package at such a hard time.

He hasn't done half of what he SAID he was going to do. Most of the things he said he was going to do he went and did the opposite. Mostly, he has just blamed everything on Bush. He may have been left with a mess, but he knew what he was getting into. It's been 5 months he needs to quit whining about the last term, and focus on what he can do to change it. Also, maybe he should quit worrying about everyone else in the world, and focus on what he should be looking after, AMERICA.

Our President is doing the best he an with what he has been givin . Don't Forget it took George Bush 8 yrs. to ruin our economy and all around safe structure. It is a mess he was givin and it wont be to soon before it is all fixed surley not within 5 months . Give the man a year or two or three and then we all will be able to see if President Barack Obama is turely at fault for our state

I personally really liked George Bush the first and the second.  They were both really good people and did a lot of good for our country.  I think Obama follows some of the best presidents we have had in a long time.  I didn't support him in the vote in, but we will see if he will be as good as the Bush's, he needs to start doing the things he promised he would do, then again he hasn't been in that long really...we'll see.

Bush was just god awful.  I do not know how Obama will fair over the next 3 and half years, but he has done better than Bush already in my opinion

Obama is a great president and, I think he doing a good job the best that he can because he is human and, we all make mistakes.

i pretty much agree with this.

only time will tell just what kind of president obama is going to be in the long run. hopefully he'll do some great things for our country. and i plan on giving him the respect that most people didn't bother with giving bush.

Mr. Obama (given the economy he has inherited), Thanks to GW Bush, is doing a fine job.  At least he is educated and can form more than two sentences without "stumbling" on his own words.  He is certainly articulate and apparently feels comfortable with world leaders, with whom he communicates with ease.  It is a test of time, however, how this man will perform in his role of President.  He has reached a STATUS of almost a rock star personality, which, although understandable, is a deterrent from the task which is at hand.  His focus should be (and I believe is), on improving  the perception of the U.S. both abroad and domestically.  Time will tell, as it did with our last President--need I say mopre!!

Yes he was given a bad deal with the economy, but he knew what he was getting into. Quit blaming someone else and move on. Also Obama is on track to double the debt the George Bush made in 8 years, think about that.

Most of the reason this economy thing happened was all these bank loans that when Bill Clinton was president told the banks to give to these families that can't afford to make the payments on them. So in a way Bush inherited the crap and got all the blame, but Bush is the easy scapegoat so let's just jump on the bandwagon.

omggg.
well said, my friend!

[sgluckadoo]

I think he ir pretty awful. I also think Bush was pretty bad. I think there is so much wrong with our country at this point, that no man can pull it together.

[theycallmehit]

i like him a lot! and he's much better than bush. i hope he doesn't do anything stupid, but i don't know why he would.

This new president is an absolute JOKE!!!  Bush had his problems, but at least he had a backbone.  Jokebama is going to every country and apologizing for America.  He can't say anything good about this country.  He could care less if North Korea or Iran get nukes.  Most of his cabinet members are tax cheats.  His vice president can't keep his foot out of his mouth.  He is spending our tax payer money like there is no tomorrow.  This country will be in debt so far, we will never get out of it.  He blames Bush for spending alot, and turns around and spends in 4 months, over 10 times what Bush ever spent.  He's taking over every business he can, such as GM.  He is trying to see how big he can get the government before he gets kicked out in 2012.  Anyone that is in favor of this madman we have in the White House needs to go live in Iraq for a year.  He loves to steal money from people that create jobs, and give to lazy good for nothing people that wont get off their tale and get a job.  What kind of president goes around apologizing for Amercia.  This country has done so much for the rest of the world, they are all in debted to us.  This countries only hope is that he gets impeached.  God help us if he is president until 2012.  You think this guy is better than Bush, you are as intelligent as a rock.  Look at the people who are in favor of Obama.  About 80% of them are uneducated losers that want the government to give them everything, because they are too lazy to do things on their own.  Quit drinking Obama koolaid before you drop dead of the poison.  This country will survive despite of this loser in the White House.
