It was extremely interesting for me to read this post. Thank you for it. I like such themes and everything connected to them. I would like to read a bit more soon. BTW, rather good design you have at this blog, but don’t you think it should be changed once in a few months?

Are we really surprised here? Obama is continuing the same liquidation of America to the highest bidder that has been going on since Clinton. The only difference between Obama and Bush is that he is owned by some interests that Bush was not. However, McCain is an even bigger treasonist than Bush, and Palin is an air head and as corrupt as they come. As for who would do a better job, there are many, and they are almost all republicans. However, they have been forced to the fringes because they stand up for Americans rather than the current corporate interests that are in control. One of the best key indicators for who would make a good president would be anyone serious about drastically reducing legal immigration as well as ending illegal immigration. That is the single largest issue that the corporate corrupt are concerned with, because the cheap labor it brings means much bigger profit margin for them. Anyone supporting amnesty is obviously corporate owned or motivated by a racial agenda. If Obama were to become a strong closed border advocate, he could go from the least popular to most popular president in history. If it wasn't for the fact that it means taxpayers funding healthcare for illegals and legal immigrants, people would be far less incensed about Obamacare Which is not to say it is a good idea at all, but rather just to show that Americans already know that immigration is the sole cause of our population growth, and so is it makes every aspect of American life far worse than it would be otherwise. Obama only won because he faced another neo-con. If he had faced a core values conservative, he would have lost. And honestly people, Sarah Palin? She is a disgrace to the party.

Obama is no leader. He is a puppet.

If the public saw the true intent of the left they would not vote for it. Obama spent 750 million - 1 billion (est) on the presidential election to McCains 250 million (est).

Huh, I wonder why there is so much negativity around conservatism. Perhaps because there 3 times as much air time against it.

It's simple math really... Money = Power and Power = Money. Obama's puppeteers spent the money to gain the power, now they have the power to take your money.

Reverse what damage, what the self-centered Obama has done. It also would be great to see all the 60 Senators who voted for the Obama Healthcare Plan be voted out of office. In the House elections, it is the time for the voters to clean House and get rid of those Democrats that voted for the Obama Plan. Also it would be nice to see the AARP get their just treatment for selling out their membership.

The government runs lotteries and the numbers game but if a group or person runs the same, they go to jail. Madoff did the same thing that Obama is doing but Madoff goes to jail and Obama lives high on the Hog. VERY INTERESTING BUT STUPID! Evidently, Politicians are allowed to break the law, it seems.

The dem put a rookie for prez in one of the most high profile jobs in the United States and they did it with lies,lies and lies and the ordinary man was duped to believe otherwise.They should be charged with gross negligent and FRAUD.Let us prayed Bo is one term prez or America sinks in its folly.

I couldnt agree more Claire, these are hard times. I also agree that things wont get better overnight. I even agree he is actually not in fact the messiah (as many of you loons on the left seem to believe).

On the other hand, just because it wont be fixed overnight, does not mean he should make things worse. With Obama spending my money, your money, and our grandchildrens money, its hard to see things getting better anytime soon.

Our only hope is that he is a one term president. With his approval ratings in the tank, I think the one time Obama voters are starting to wake up. Sarah Palin 2012 (or anybody else not named Obama)

That plastic shield of sincerety is melting from his smug face. This is like watching a villian being exposed at the end of a slick Hollywood production... and unfortunately this is real, and it's only the beginning...

james of NY 5:45AM December 20, 2009

Stephen's got it right. I mean these are hard times and some of you expect everything to be fixed at once without taking into consideration that he can only put things in motion - he's not a king or messiah. And what you call hubris - I call determined coolness. He was like this on the campaign trail not letting critics and such get to him or get him off focus. Do I agree with his policies - not most. But through all the crap he's got to deal with right now, he's doing a pretty good job better than I think anyone else would do while still playing the necessary game of politics.

Talk about hubris, that's all you conservatives seem to be able to do. And to say that he wasn't right for the job. Then who is? Sarah Palin, giving dictation to her facebook ghostwriter while she's out touting her tell-all histrionic rag piece book? John McCain, who continues his weekly angry-old-man rants on the Senate floor? I won't say that I agree with everything that the Obama administration has done or is planning to do, but he's proving to be far more qualified as a leader than any of the politicians on the right.
