Obama hasnt been a bad president so far

His bail out has be a little iffy but its still to early to tell if it will work or not yet or if it was a waste. Other than that hes been pretty good so far.

    While it's still early in his presidency, he certainly is dealing with more things than any president had to deal with at one time in decades. He's doing a pretty good balancing act for only being in office a few months.


    I'm really looking forward to how things look another two years from now when some of these other things have moved on, and things like real estate and stocks have come back a little more.

    Yeah, so far he's been mediocore if you ask me.

    Nothing has gone horribly wrong thus far, hopefully nothing ever will

    but he is a politician, and therefore, cannot be trusted, along with all the others :P

    So if Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, or Ghandi decided to run for president you wouldn't trust them one bit?  Because the second you decide to run, you become a politician.

     

    The whole "All politicians are evil" argument is lame and has no base.

    Indeed! Unlike his predecessor, he can read the teleprompter quite well.... well.. I guess being able to read makes him 100% better.

     

     

    This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.

    Got any specifics on how Obama is the worst president in history? As for what is "left of America", things change. The America that you're feeling overly nostalgic about is nothing like how the America of the 19th century or the 18th century was. I'm sure if Washington or Jefferson were transported to any time in the 20th century they wouldn't recogonize the country they started. My point is that over time everything changes eventually. Even America. You can either adapt to the changes or live in the past....your choice. Either way the change will come be it from Obama or someone else.

    QFT.

    I'm sure when they stopped making buggy wagons for horses as the primary mode of transportation, there were some old, clueless dodgers going "Cars? Bah. They'll never take off. You'll see.. they'll fade in a few years and I'll have the corner market on horses, you ninnies!" This reminds me of these people talking about fuel efficient cars vs gas-guzzling SUVs and trucks.


    There's always a few resistant to improvements and want to keep things like the "good ol' days". Just ask all the old timers about the 50s. To them, that was the bestest times evah! At least that's what they were saying now, but they forget they were building nuclear fallout shelters in their backyards.


    Good times, lol.

    Easily the worst president in my lifetime so far (it's early yet). He is making Bush look good. Heck, he is making CARTER look good.

    Precisely what im saying, I would not have any trust them unless they did something that could prove why I should. Along with many other officials I suppose I am prejudice against :P

    It has plenty of base, to many corrupt politicians in our past for my tastes, and I can't at the moment think of any name that I could say was "completely honest" in his work.

       You know the only one of those people that could actually run for president is Martin Luther King Jr., right?

     

       You know, assuming any of those people were still alive.

    Im pretty happy about the new credit card regulations that were signed into law.  Taking effect early next year.

    Hope you got your things together. Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks like we're in for nasty weather. ... There's a bad moon on the rise.

    Although they probably needed to do something about the intrests rate .I am what Credit card companies call deadbeat user.I have had a Visa grace card for 21 years and have never paid any interest on it,I always pay it off early(good habit is to not charge anything you cant pay cash for) they are going to start penalizing people like me who live withing their means.Another way to force control over people,I dont like where all this is heading.

       The requirement to be a United States President still requires one running to have been born in the United States. Doesn't matter where you grew up, your mama just had to have dropped your sorry ass out on American soil.

    You assume he was crapped out on American soil.

    Where's the Birth Certificate? Why has he spent over a $1 Million hiding it? Why did the Hawaii Gov. seal it? WHY is there a Bill being passed that protects all Executive Branch members from producing documents of this kind?

    What is there to hide?

    First, he wasn't a Muslim, now he is.

    Then he never went to school in Idoneasia as an Islamic, now he did.

    Whatelse are he going to find out about this guy?

  • Sneakers05Sneakers05 Member Posts: 316

    Pretty sure if he wasnt born in America he would of been disqualified a long time ago, seeing as he is black they would of found any thing to easily disqualify him.

    Why are courts instructed by the DoJ to throw out all cases in regards with this subject?

    What does being black have to do with the law? Is this your way of telling people like me with these questions to stop?

    Why is there so much involved with this issue if it's not true? Why not produce the Original Birth Certificate?

    The real question to be asked here is why some people insist on continually beating a dead horse? I know that everyone needs a hobby, but c'mon......

    Because some of us that have fought for this country and can trace all of their relatives back to fighting for this country, still believes in the Constitution.

    What is the point of the law if it is not upheld?

    Why are people silenced when they ask the real questions instead of being provided answers. But hey, we know what species of dog the President is going to get for the kids.

    YOU, me, and regular Joes with opinions mean nothing at all. That is why it MUST be settled in the courts. There has to be a rule of law and there has to be an official answer to these questions. These answers are being blocked.

    I understand that you love your President. I know this. You choose a side and your side won, yay! I also know what it would mean if the people won in court and found out if he was born in Kenya like his Grandmother and siblings have said on tv.

    The lawyer that has been pressing this the most is a DEM. It has NOTHING to do with political parties, it has EVERYTHING to do with the law of the land.

    I made the Kenya comment as a joke anyways, it wasn't a green light for us to derail the thread. So I appoligise to the OP.

    Perhaps this topic should be started in a new thread, but I'm sure it will be one-sided on this site.

    To address the topic, I don't know what to think right now about Obama, he hasn't done anything yet. Lots of speeches but none of his "plans" have been put into action yet. Nothing major that is. I can do the math and give a prediction though, but that is not the question I suppose.
