Is President Obama a leader?
« on: August 14, 2010, 08:19:32 am »
I have a hard time believing that our President is a leader.  I really truly believe he is more of a follower than a leader.  Who else out there agrees with me?  If there is one place in this country that needs a leader, it's our Commander-in- Chief.  What do you all think?

I'm sick of Obama. He hasn't done anything to help our country. If he gets reelected I'm moving to Canada.

It's hard for me to keep my faith in this man...
So far what I have seen is he is really good at spending money and taking trips.
I think it's funny people use to complain about Bush, but Bush's Vacays were at his own ranches. lol
Sure it still cost money to get him there but not as much as Obama's taking friends and family out of Country.
I think Obama skipping out on a Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington Cemetery because he wanted to go to Chicago on " vacation" kinda made me cringe.
He's been acting like more of a celebrity in my opinion.
Seeing that his wife spend money on trips, expensive sneakers, outfits ( she still looks sloppy), and taking her grieving friends out of country.

I'm crossing my fingers that maybe just maybe all this spending might produce a positive outcome.
I highly doubt it, but am trying to keep a positive outlook. Maybe spending money might earn money?
 Lets hope he is applying it correctly.
Call me crazy but I don't care if it's a right wing or left wing president as long as they do something positive that reflects a good standing or better standing with the economy.

I think that all Obama wants out of his presidency is to be remembered...he's taking on too much and it's getting ridiculous! This economy is bleeding and he isn't doing anything helpful. He's like the Oprah of the Whitehouse---You get a bailout! You get a bailout! You get a bailout! :bs:

I think that they dont hire people who are leaders to be the president for a reason. He is not the leader and does not have the power, so his job is to be able to rally people, turn the left and right against each other to keep the divide between the people. Talk a whole lot of nothing that just leaves you with more questions than you started with, and never any answers. Tell you what you want to hear, and if your a good actor sounding sincere than all the better.. but its only second, after all your emotion doesnt stay on the record, your speeches do.

I do wonder if Obama was white would all these negative comments be made.  The man is trying to help the country from going down a hole, the same thing Bush should have been doing before he left office.  Bush left this mess for Obama to clean up.  You all are always comlaining about the amount of vacations he and his family take , well he didn't take as many as Bush and for all your complaining and bitching you really don't know where Bush was really taking all his vacations.

Why don't all you nay sayers take a real look at Bush's record before continuing to blame Obama for everthing to include your chipped nails.  Bush cheated his way into the white house and lied at each step, why didn't you complain then?  Enough of trying to blame Obama for all the financial misery out there.  The funny thing about all this is with all the billions given to the banks and car dealers, the exectuives were still giving themselves million dollar bonuses and taking vacations on their yachts and guess what they were all white.

I agree in that he seems to be more of a celebrity than a leader of our Country.  He is self serving and a money waster.  I see no "leading" to this point except leading us down the path of destruction.

Why don't all you nay sayers take a real look at Bush's record before continuing to blame Obama for everthing to include your chipped nails.  Bush cheated his way into the white house and lied at each step, why didn't you complain then?  Enough of trying to blame Obama for all the financial misery out there.  The funny thing about all this is with all the billions given to the banks and car dealers, the exectuives were still giving themselves million dollar bonuses and taking vacations on their yachts and guess what they were all white.

If Im not mistaken it was the Obama policy that allowed these white people to give themselves these bonus's and bailed out these billionaires when they made bad decisions that effected the majority of America.

As for messes to clean up, that is Obama's job, and why he was hired.. its not an excuse for failure. Bush had a mess to clean up, every president has a mess to clean up.. Bush was terrible, so is Obama.. Easy way to judge? Compare what they do, how is the economy? What did Bush do to help? bailouts... well whats this CHANGE Obama does? bailouts... wait... change?? Then there is the wars... failing miserably and he promises to bring the troops home.. in no time, he sends even more troops to war... Thats the opposite of bringing them home BTW.  Its funny how people use Bush as a judge of character, why not just compare Obama to hitler? At least Obama isnt gassing the jew's! So he is a good guy!  Doesnt make sense does it? Same as it doesnt make sense to compare him to a horrible man like Bush. The main thing is they both run the same policy, war and bailouts...

Obama is almost as bad as Bush in some ways, and worse in others. He is just a much better speaker, and sells dopes "hope on a rope" haha. meanwhile war continues, and he wont even do something as simple as abolish the Military Commissions act or Patriot ACT which is clearly against the Constitution! He wont even condemn torture, instead he will promise to close a single place where it is carried out... as if the place itself is the criminal, not the acts done there and many other places.. Its just a sick joke to think that any President has your best interest at heart, you dont pay his bills! Your not the one who got him in office! It was the big budgets of the big business, and he must do his job working for them.
