GIVE OBABA A HAND

[stephen75]

 :icon_rr:LETS STAND WITH OBAMA! HE  DID NOT START ALL OF WHATS WRONG NOW HIS NAME WAS MR. BUSH AND NO THINGS ARE LOOKING A BIT BETTER!    LETS JUST NOT FORGET WHAT WAS ON HIS PLATE WHEN HE TOOK OVER. I SAY HE IS DOING A HELL OF A JOB

[Eclipse98RS]

obama is doing a great job? you make me laugh. obama=fail

[rcbrad]

I agree that Obama is doing a good job.  Some of the priorities may be out of whack, but overall I am satisfied.

[jordandog]

Having just read the subject of this topic here's my take on it. I WILL give ObaBa a hand, but I won't give ObaMa one. Who is this Obaba guy anyway? I'd like to meet him.

[Graeth]

I'll give him a hand.
Five across the face.

He'd be able to clean up more of the mess that Bush and his corporate friends handed him if there weren't so many greedy, ignorant ideological nut cases in our government and corporations. That and the fact that many Americans are so pissed off about having a black President that in their view, Obama can't do anything right, no matter what he does.

[jordandog]

I am SO tired of the same old excuse that it is Bush's fault! Every single president who comes into office has his predecessor's 'mess' to clean up! The funny thing is, Obama is not doing things much differently at all than Bush did before him. He has yet to step up and do all the things he touted, other than slamming the ridicululous Healthcare Reform bill through in a way that bordered on illegal, and if you do some checking, his policies as far as the war, economics, and many other things are running the same way they were BEFORE he came in. As far as "Bush and his corporate friends", give me a break. The Democrats were largely behing the bailout, FannieMae/FreddieMac debacles, ACORN funding, and an entire host of other things that aided greatly in 'putting the mess on the table' we have now.

It has nothing to do with the color of his skin and that argument has fully run it's course also. How can you even say that when going into this, the entire premise of his campaign, the people backing him, and a large part of why he won was finally having a person of color sitting in The Oval Office?    No, I do not happen to be a right-wing Republican, but I am damn angry.
Edited to add: If the color of his skin is causing people to have the view "he can't do anything right", why are so many people who aren't caucasian that voted for him now coming out against him and saying they wish they would NOT have voted for him? That point/argument makes no sense to me.

Obama=socialism

That's exactly why things will never change, because everyone has a preconcieved notion of how "the president" should do for them As individuals, not as a nation. President Obama tries to handle things diversly, and more people these days just wake up on the negative side of the bed and jump on the "i dislike Obama" bandwagon, because everyonelse is doing it.

You know what, why dont all of you that dislike him try putting yourself in his shoes, and see how fast you get things done in the white house. You try waking up in the morning to hear of another oil spill in the gulf, along with many lengthy lists of situations to take care of, and see how quickly YOU handle it, and satisfy everyone. I don't care who is president, that crap ain't easy to deal with.  But apparently there are several politicians and comentators out there that just think they could do better.  I guarantee you, any of those folks would crack undere the pressure, and as far as I am concerned the president hasn't cracked yet! I know some people outhere are just waiting for something to take him out of office, and thats f-ing sad man!

 He has nothing against anyone, yet he is blamed for everything. Sucess will not happen overnight, folks. You have to ask yourself this...Do I have a legitimate reason why I don't like Pres. Obama, or am I just going off of what others think about him? I guess my point is that way too many people are setting themselves up to fail in this country by not being open minded for change. And if you are closed minded to begin with, then what's the point?  If you can't come together and agree on plans that will benefit everyone, WHATS THE POINT?
Notice that I didnt use the words Republican or Democrat, or Liberal, ect, because the truth is that from the begining of his presidency, all sides had preconcieved notions of what would happen if he was elected, and even today, they can't wait to jump on the bad press band wagon!!  You know what-WE as a nation conjoured up this "lets blame President Bush" bullcrap, WE DID!!! President Obama has NOT done anything to push this Issue. Now other members of congress, those happy little politicians out there, the media, talk shows, ect- You cant tell me that hasn't shaped your opinion about what's going on these days.

I'm sick of it, its stupid and petty and nothing gets done this way.  I guess what I am trying to say is Grow UP people!!! What exactly is everyone  affraid of???  No one has let him breathe since he took office, let alone even just be a family man-that is criticized too!! Bull##%%$%!!!! I just don't understand how people can be so closed minded about our new president. Maybe that's something personal that each of you have to deal with inside yourself, is it really your dislike for him, or something more??

So i guess America is just going to stay in a sesspool of the negative, because certain folks don't agree with what the  President has done so far?? If people keep acting this way, we might as well just all give up, OR people could just shut up and  honestly put themselfes into getting over creative differences in this country and make things happen for the better.

Give him a freakin chance people, and I'm not begging you to do this- OH NO, I don't beg, you can do whatever you want-after all, we all have freedom of choice and speech-don't we?

Thats all Ive got to say-go ahead and post the 1000000  negative political, social, governmental, millitary, ect lists  or reasons why you don't like the president. OH,  Its just going to make things SOO MUCH BETTER in AMERICA to do that.

Well said!  The system is broken, which in turn is making America broken.  Let's get things done for the people instead of being self serving.   This is true for Government and corporations/services.  There are so many people spreading around hatred, anger, nonsense, paranoid thoughts and so on and so on.

I think politics are funny. it cracks me up. honestly, no matter what promises ANY president makes BEFORE they are actually the president, almost always, doesnt pull through right away or if not, at all.... there's always gonna be someone out there who doesnt like the president or not happy with the government. but who is ever happy with the government...

It is very broken-the media and politicians make impossible standards to meet, and when they aren't met to their liking,which they never are-the trash talking begins. It truly is a downward spiral and a waste of space!!!!

I voted for Obama, in part because I was afraid that McCain would disintegrate during his term and Sarah Palin would become president.  That thought alone gives me nightmares.

Yep, Sarah Palin really needs to NOT be in politics, because she is a distraction!!
