Obama Inner Circle

The lack of good judgment from this group is shocking. Also, how can they expect the legislators to toss out a career for them. Voting in favor of these ill prepared and expensive bills is just that. Mny liberal legislators will be tossed out in 2010. Then we have two years of gridlock, again.

I would not be shocked if Obama is only a single term president, such as Carter was.

Too bad they don't at least try to become a little more like Reagan. That was a successful model of great leadership. Indisputably, that leadership model created some of the best prosperity of our times. .

Policies!

I think the decision to pursue the treatment of terrorists and the possible going after the agents and those in the Bush Administration as a defining but horrible indication of their jusgement.

The going against the lawful actions of the Honduran officials was so embarrasing and to be on the side of Chavez and Castro is unthinkable.

The hiring of Van Jones and other Marxist people is indicative of the thinking of the administratin.

His constant blaming Bush is a hge sign of weakness.

where's the job creation

With all the government spending stimulus and bailouts, NC lost over 1/2 million jobs. Admitted It is Change. Taxes have gone up the price of everything but my wages have gone up. This is change. Why are they so ignorant to understand that jobs supply health care. and industrial jobs such as textiles and furniture manufacturing and tax breaks to business means more workers and more tax base. These supposed inteligent non elected money sucking tzars need to go. get someone with business sense that will promote Jobs. Overtaxation only promotes non work ethics which leads to tax evasion and a lawless society. Get a Clue. put people to work make something with your own 2 hands. If you don't work you shouldn't eat. 80% of america works we are the majority lets get the other 20% that want jobs working. This instills pride through productivity something the nonworking administraation needs to CHANGE>
