How are you in the position to criticize a president when you don't even live in America? And people need to stop acting like everything is the president's fault. It's Congress who makes the decisions to pass bills, etc. and with the Republicans aiming to shoot everything down, it's not easy.

It's so easy to blame Obama, but Bush made an absolute mess of things and the Republicans are still busy blocking new legislation as much as possible, even if it's good legislation. Their "well if the Democrats are for it, we must be against it" attitude without actually thinking about the issue at hand is one of the biggest problems in the country right now. Obama's failure lies in the fact that he still wants to play nice with them.

It's blatant hypocrisy, too. The Republicans here make a big fuss about how the Democrats are ruining the country, causing faction, etc. yet their entire platform is bent on causing faction against the Democratic party. It's a vicious cycle and it's really annoying.

It's sad that people actually worship Obama. Your opinions are so different from what I've heard from people today, and these were people who were once believers.

And it's sad to for people to say it's impossible to create jobs when Obama spent more money in his first months in office over any President during their entire terms. We need JOBS. So many people are being layed off and it is affecting the economy.

What I like about Obama is that he's a good speaker, effectively builds up a national optimism. As for accomplishments, we'll see.

He may be good, but he uses a teleprompter thingy or whatever that tells him what he needs to say so he won't freeze up in the crowd

I was sooo happy I didn't have to look at Nanci Pelosi's face for 1.5 hours.

TBH, I am getting really tired of his speaking technique. I mean, even though I don't like him, I Was able to appreciate his speeches early on. But now they're just too bleh.
