Obama could never live up to the expectations people had of him.

Yeah but hes came in at a hard time , he cant be expected to work miracles overnight hes still clearing up the mess that GB and his cronies left , I think people are too quick to judge & he needs more time. For anyone to come into office at the time he has come in , it would be a struggle for anyone

I agree. But people won't give him any slack. He was getting bitched about 2 months into his term. People (including some on this board) need to relax.

This is the last post I ever make regarding politics. :crash:

obama hasnt even been in office for 9 months yet it takes nine months for a human baby to be born. Cut the Obama bashing. It only took ten months before we we were bowing down to king george saying "hit 'em back Georgy Boy hit 'em back" Who knew that al quida would give us one black eye and Bush would destroy our dignity and our economy. Remember he didnt ruin america in 9 months it took him 8 years to fuck us up this bad. itll take at least that to fix it. Obama might fix up a good chunk but there is no way he will repair all the damage the last retard left.

Obama's doing fine. It's only American right-winger's who are wanting to pull him down at every opportunity - but you'd expect that so there's no need to worry. He's doing well from where I'm standing.

Exactly! He was seen as the man to turn around not only the US but the entire free world!!
& of course his detractors can't help themselves in highlighting every single thing he does which they percieve as some great mistake, or confirms their suspicions of him!
Whatever he does he can't be worse than Bush!

I'm tired of being left out and blinded by these "smokescreens". Since you have the apparently rare ability to see through them...tell us what we're missing or have missed as a result.

I think GB fucked up well before his 8 years where up , he started fucking up in his gung-ho reaction to Sept 11 , misleading the world on WMDs , when all the western counties have the worst WMDs known to man , letting banks get away with there suicidal morgages , GB is the worlds worst statesman ever , yz may as well have had big bird in office for all the good he done :hatsoff:

I think your scottish view is pretty accurate.:thumbsup:

Let me add his religious idiocy that he brought to the white house.In a PBS documentary here on a case in Dover PA where religious types were trying to introduce "creationism" as an altenative theory to evolution under the new name "intelligent design" it was noted that Bush had said both should be taught as the jury was out on which was correct.Thats total nonsense and the creationists lost their case badly even before a republican appointed federal judge.

No matter what you can say about Obama he won't be going against proven science I bet like Bush did.Presidents have a lot of power with the bully pulpit and for Bush to say something like that was seen as lending credibilty to "intelligent design".He was one of the most unelightened backward thinking presidents ever,certainly the worst in my experience.

Race and Religion seem to have always been extremely divisive in the US. I'm not so sure it matter which president you have, those two issues will always pop up.

I remember that creationism thing & I can remember laughing my head off & wondering "how can president of the United States , say what he was saying with a straight face" , it was just the most wacky & ridiculous thing I had ever heard. I mean you have fossils millions of years old , yet this people are trying to say these things happened in the last 2000 years , its like all religion.......... its mad.......

There is no place for these wacky religious nutters in world politics & just to think this man was the most powerful man on earth once , is it really any wonder the worlds in the state it is in? :dunno:
