Back to article

Another softball fawning article by yet another gushing viewer. Strictly a PR piece. NO VALUE AT ALL. Obamamnia is so false, so disgusting its hard to stomach.
His first lady is just a radical as he is and frankly, this type of piece is simple created to get people to gush too!!!
Perhaps you ought to actually dig into this woman's real agenda and stay away from here decorating nonsense!!!

To the haters:
GET A GRIP - YOU LOST and for good reason - your republican gods drove this country to the brink of ruin - name ONE good thing that happened in the 8 years that bush was president??? was it the war? the financial ruin? the loss of jobs? the loss of freedoms? the loss of respect from other nations and the world? was it the destruction of our planet? was it the living in fear for 8 years? the uncertainty of everyday life and if it was going to get bad or worse?
Its funny that most republicans tried to fashion themselves as OBAMA like ( I mean a team playing, aisle crossing, bipartisan) during the election season to GET ELECTED and now that those Republicans that have made it to another term through their lies and deceit - they are bowing to their delusional base AGAIN!! If your poor and an over zealous religious nut republican then your self destructive - BUSH and his kind do not have your best interests at heart and they never have - they just use your religion to control you and get what they want. Think about it - its true.
For once I feel secure, and at ease with our President - I know that he wants the best for me and people like me ( a majority of America ) and the country - quit resisting and get on board - or be left behind. CHANGE was not just a campaign slogan it was a mandate and hes living up to his word unlike most past presidents.

Obama and his bolshevik cabinet are disastrous. They are stealing yes I said it stealing money to buy votes. This should be illegal and they need to be tried in a court of law and imprisoned. They are liars, thiefs, and racists. Their administration is a pathetic excuse for humanity. I'm embarassed at what they are able to get away with. But bolsheviks run our media and our executive branch and much else. I see great signs that people are rising and marching against them. This is so so good to see!!!

I love my country and have always stayed in prayer for each leader in my lifetime even if I did not agree with decisions that affected all of us and the world. We now have a young wise family and it looks and feel real good.
So what if the President and his wife is a millionaire. That's great. They did not take it through misappropration of government funds but through their hard work. I never heard anyone complain this excessively about past Presidents millions, clothing, food being served at the WH etc. This is THE most watched President in history and yet this country has been heading in the direction of each citizen being either rich or poor for years without past MILLIONAIRE leader giving a good hoot. Pres. Obama cares about each of us. He is everyones President. Get over it and help with this mess he was left with by a past MILLIONAIRE Presient and his millionaire croonies who left the WH with more millions than they came with and cared less about the little folk.
Thumbs up for President and First Lady Obama and all the strong, bright young people surrounding him. He Is doing real good and WILL succeed.
Finally, we all have lost more than we can afford. There IS method to all madness.
Good Luck and stay mindful that if President Obama succeeds, we all succeed.

Your comments are confusing...what is it that you know and can prove that the rest of the country and a working judiciary don't. The real answer is nothing. Please upgrade your thinking by just listening and learn.

God, can't you people just let Obama be? Don't listen to all the lies of Limbo what's his name and other idiots. Get a life !

Old white person hater Michelle never warmed my heart. This American hating woman shouldn't be in the WH, her husband was born in Kenya and is an illegal president. His dad was Kenyan, he was born in Kenya, that makes him Kenyan. No different then his mom being Am, him being born in Am would have made him Am,. but that didn't happen to the Kenyan boy Obama. As a Black American, my Constitutional rights are being violated as I and put under an illegal president. And worse, the illegal president doesn't love the country that gave my family freedom, something Africa has never given to their own black people. America, this great country has given me everything but a legal president at this current time. When will the party of Martin Luther King Jr, the Republican Party, my party, do something about this? That WH has been hijacked by criminals. "This is the first time in my adult life" that I can not support a president.

I think its interesting watching the very liberal minority in this country that salivated to have Barack Obama in office now scratching their heads in confusion. Wondering...what happened?
Here's the bottom line. While he may be a rookie to national politics and certainly has a lot of growing to do in DC, he's a phenominal processor of information and he's very articulate. These are a couple things that at the end of the day will get ANYONE pretty far in life. One will allow you to "get the big picture" the other will allow your intent to be heard and understood so those subordinate to you can actually function as a team and staff.
The interesting thing is he is genuinly interested in doing the right thing for the country, and this seems to concern the far left liberals as much as any die hard conservative! Its entertaining really. Gitmo for example... of course he's not going to just close down GITMO and put them in U.S. prisons. How would you prosecute them? what happens when defense asks for disclosure? To face the accuser. Are you kidding? and to release the photo's of alleged abuse?? seriously? the single most damaging incident that cost us our credibility in the arab world was abu graihb. BAR NONE. So...what idiot would want to have our credibility smashed all over again?? Its the common sense stuff like this that he gets...and thank god we got one that will no just capitulate to either side. Are we spending a lot? yeah. is it anywhere near our GNP...or potential. NO. so yeah the dems and reps have fundamental differences in spending. BOTH are capable of access and have the track records to prove it.

Rebecca, I can't let this go. "Obama has the most challenging job in the world and he has been doing a phenomenal job".
Where's the proof that he's doing a "phenomenal job"? The media fawning over him and overlooking his mistakes doesn't count as proof, hon.
Obama lied to democrat voters about Gitmo, now he's keeping it open after he said he would close it, he is going ahead with military tribunals after he said on the campaign trail he wouldn't. Obama, along with Democrats in Congress, has quadrupled our national debt. So far, he's cozied up to Hugo Chavez, but insulted America's biggest ally, Great Britain.
This is a HUGE "break". Michelle Obama had a 300K job a year invented for her while her husband was a state senator.
I'm sorry, but telling blue collar workers not to try to achieve, and to stay in their depressed hometown (when Michelle and Barack are both millionaires) isn't "the best this country has to offer". All people should be encouraged to succeed, black, white, rich or poor.
