Is President Obama a leader?

[wuxbustah8]

Leader in Spending... Haha, I like it.

To bad it's true.

[mangomiata]

I do not feel that he is a leader.  He is more a political spender that cannot see that his reforms are hurting the very people that he thinks he is helping.  I don't want to journey into this discussion since my blood pressure is stable at the moment.

i am sorry i can not believe president obama  is a leader.i think he is a joke. i did not vote for him the first time and i will definately vote for him the next time.

People, let's be reasonable. He's gotta be the President for some reason. From where this country was, I would think that it would take some time to get eveything back right- ROME wasn't built in a day!

[mstout1221]

I do not agree but he is doing as best he can. I dont believe even though he is the president that he really controls things

[girlswin2]

LOL....   A leader thats a joke.  He is not a leader except in spending money.  All he wants to to be walking around with his bird chest sticking out like he is someone.  His wife is a leader but not him. 

[sflynt]

Nope... He's spender thats for sure. I hope and pray he's not re-elected

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.

It's funny how so many use the race card still. Who cares if the man is blue, green, or orange? Yes, he got into a mess after Bush left but does it mean he has to add full to the fire?  Everyone complained about Bush!
He was one of the most made fun of presidents for a lot of the choices he made and hated for a lot of other things he did.  It's ridiculous that anyone would sit here and say oh it's cuz they are white boo hoo they are picking on the non-white president. Not all successful people are white and that is really ridiculous you see things that way.  FYI I am multi- racial so don't pull the but your a white girl saying this bs.

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.

Bravo!! You stated everything I thought with such eloquence! 

[Mickey001]

Thanks everyone for their input.  It seems that 90% of you think he is "leading" us down the wrong path.  I totally agree!

[eSineM]

Thanks.

[sigmapi1501]

There isn't many things more entertaining and frustrating than debating politics with people that do not know what they are talking about. It's adorable.  Go ahead, spout off your little catch phrases and talking points.  He's gonna win by a LANDSLIDE in 2012.  Oh.. oh,,, Maybe that's when the world will end.  Where's his birth certificate.  Blah. You're all idiots.

let em do his job

[lynnc35]

Well I could write a book on this one. I am very disappointed in him. I voted for him and I am a Christian. I voted for him, because I really did not have a choice, I was not voting for mccain, I am tired of seeing the poor man defeated, the middle man giving to the rich, it is this system, when middle class people do have good jobs, they take all your living expense money out for taxes, it is rediculous, me and my husband were figuring that they take out enough money, that would afford us a whole other place, bigger and nicer than the dump we got to live in, another words whoever we are supporting with our money, can afford more than we can with our money. Obama was supposed to change this, he hasn't done squat besides, say he is a Christian then ruin our ties with Israel, and want to build a mosque on ground that they killed over 3000 americans, saying it in the name of a muslim faith. gimme a break and get him out of there, get the money greed, infestoring polititians out of their, that will take the crumbs off your table before they will let you feed them to your own children, this beauracratic disgusting system is making me vomit.

I seriously agree with this comment...if Obama was white this would have been a totaly different question. The real internal issue americans have is that this man is black but instead they externalize the wrong problems. untill someone comes out to talk about the real problem, there will be nothing he'll do right by americans.

Most of the problems this nation is currently experiencing were caused by Bush, it took him 8yrs to distroy what Bill Clinton had built in 8yrs, so u cannot expect obama to rebuild it in 2yrs. He is trying is best to clean up the mess George W Bush left behind. So please I am sick and tired of all this crazy accusations agains the poor man, one of you ppl can go n take his place for a day or two n see what its like to deal with y'all.
