OBAMA NEEDS MORE TIME HOWEVER IS OBAMA NEED TO BE BLAMED ALONE OR HIS FELLOWERS OR THE WHOLE GOVERNMENT! I THINK HIS FELLOWERS

US enters Afghanistan - 2001
$700b government bailout - 2008
National Debt - $10.6 trillion the day Obama was sworn in.
I am not surprised at how stupid people can be. I am surprised at how people can give such an anti-American socialist so much credit. He was able to have this much impact on history in less than 1 year? Wow, he is even greater than I thought he was.

I agree with the writer of the article. Obama has greatly contributed to my distrust of big government. There is basically nothing that he does that represents my views as a small business owner.
I don't want the government to go more into debt.
I don't want to be taxed for national health care for employers who won't pay up -- I pay for my employees.
I don't want to be sending troops to Afghanistan.
I don't want to bail out Wall Street.
At first I disliked Obama because he is a socialist. Now, my dislike is more based on the fact that he is an elite egotist who thinks that "talking" is action. I have never seen another person who loves to hear himself talk as much as Obama.

I voted for Obama to be President and will be proud one day when he does what he said he would eventually do.
I think he will show all those dirty, greedy monsters
that are bankers and Wall Street brokers what is right.
He may not be able to punish them now, but he will.
Maybe in his second term. I think we should build
a framework now and in Obama's second term, we can build even more. Pass any bill for health care now and then in President Obama's second term, we can really have the reform and universal care and have the dirty capitalist pigs may for their greed! I can'r wait for those scumsuckers to be taxed like it should be. I say tax them 50-75% like how it once was.

Obama is wet behind the ears.
I wanted Romney, Hillary, or even Fred Thompson to be President.
I do not trust Obama one iota.
Obama may not be a Muslim, and he may have been born in Hawaii, but I do not think he views America the way proud patriotic Americans do. Obama is diffferent in his views. He likes
to apologize for America. His Chinese brother and his African brother and his Muslim brother scare me. Obama wants America to decline and he wants China to get more power. Obama does not love America! Obama may love the world more than he loves America and that is disgusting. Obama may not be a traitor in the way we think of traitors, but Obama is letting America become subservient to China.

First to Ted of Arizona. I'm sorry you think Georgians are ignorant, but regardless of what you have been told, we do not run around barefooted and a lot of us are college educated. That said, I didn't like Jimmy Carter either. I can't understand why people thought Obama would do great things. He told all of you that he was going to change the country and he has only done what he said he would. He said he would take from the rich and give it to the poor and people cheered when he said it. Now people are crying about it. So how do you like this wonderful president that you voted for??? I voted for Sarah Palin. In spite of the nasty way she's been treated, I believe she would make a good president. The first thing she would probably do is put Air Force One on Ebay.

Jimmy Carter surrounded himself with Georgians who did not know how to run a government, and Obama has surrounded himself with leftist socialists who want to turn the government socialist.
SAD, but Carter must be pleased; he will not be recalled as our worst president; Obama will take that honor.

Since he let the Congress go in August, Obama's presidency has been very disappointing. Though I voted for McCain, I expected Obama to stop "business as usual" in Congress, with the legislators listening to lobbyists, especially from the banking, insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyists. Especially, when he made a deal with Big Pharma not to import drugs from Canada and Europe.Right away Obama squandered, single payer, then the public option, and finally a bold move by the Senate to include people age 55 to 64 in madicare. The problem with Obama is that he's too politically correct, meaning, he doesn't want to offend Wall Street, Big Insurance and Big Pharma, and obstinate Republicans in Congress. He needs to be more of a risk taker and insist on the change he believes in. Moreover, Geitner has got to go. The only possibly decent person on his so-called Board of Economic Advisors is Voelker. Elizabeth Warren should be Secretary of the Treasury. Obama needs to exercise the bully pulpit with Congress. and make the insurance industry coform to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act like other industry, except baseball.

I feel sorry for Obama. As much as I would have liked to see him succeed in his ambitions,it just goes to show he is both naive and not realistic to the true state of affairs in America and the world.To add to his burden he has been given a Nobel peace award prematurely.Obama captured the world's attention for a while, although now the ground below him seems soon depleting. I wish he can stand up to what the US is required to do.Firstly Obama should truly start believing in himself and the power of his presidency. Hope, he'll realize the world for what it is and gradually take the world along with him instead of trying to do too much without understanding the reality.Hope he'd start believing that he has the power to act and not just be a powerful orator. Hope the president of the most powerful country will start looking inward and not focus as much on how the world perceives him to be.

To be a leaser you have to be able to walk the walk not just talk the talk. I lived in IL during Senator Obama's tenure there. Now all my family, friends and acquaintances are apologizing for not listening when I explained that a very charismatic man who accomplished nothing in the senate or Springfield and has no business or military experience does not belong in the white house. I admire his ideals but he nor his staff have any clue how to get these accomplished or deal with the present problems. Calvin Coolidge said 'the business of America is business. Until Mr Obama begins to understand that statement, he will continue to flounder at finding solutions to the financial and unemployment challenges facing the nation. Increasing the national debt weakens us fiscally, militarily, economically and will only prolong the status quo.
