Anketa pokazuje da Amerikanci gube veru u Obamu

I've never had faith in Obama.

I don't want to live in a Socialistic society.  I don't want the Government to have it's hands in EVERYTHING. 

Could say much more but will refrain.

I didn't answer your question, Lips.

Do I think the stress has taken it's toll?  Yes, of course.  Being President is the most stressful job I imagine.

Do I think he would run again had he forseen the present?  YES!  I think his ego is too big not to want to be President.

I've always thought I need to respect the President because of the position and he is my Leader and Chief.  I just can't get on board with him. 

Don't want to offend anyone... just my thoughts.

Mike, I'm going to copy your post to my dad.  My dad sent this to me.

it always amazes me that the head of the adminstrative branch is seen with more power than he may have in all cases other than in a state of war, i mean do people not realize the reasoning here attributing a president as much as a king with ultimate control over the entire government, we as americans need to get more local and down to our local roots more so i do think.. i personally am not political any longer because i feel it has spun out of control and will be further corrupted in trying to get it altogether , also i was a sign in to the Republican party from many years ago and have opted out not feeling connected at all with these newer party members gaining power, do i not have a voice because i will not vote for any party running any longer ? the answer is no , i still have a measure of voice comparative to my taxes paid.. don't be intimidated by the electorals that if you do not vote you do not have a voice taxes are your representation.. we actually can abstain these people out of office here , and end the "politic" which i might add has become a way of life thta much people have forgotten it's roots of the arguement do we live in a democracy or republic , that is when the many parties became the two major parties as we know today, the politic race, now as for Obama other than being one of the major party members ( and Democrat) and a citizen of my state of Illinois , i do not care for him, nor do i feel he represents that of my state .. but on the same note i do not feel any candidate of either party would represent me in my philosophy of a strong republic structure. anyhow that is my two cents heh . agree to disagree i wanted to share this with you my fellow forum members

one thing also i forgot to say that is actually more scary Gabby in reality is the very possible outcome to save our dollar .. more new taxes and cuts in programs .. now i don't think socialism sounds too bad considering now that 40% plus of our income at least on average now is paid out in taxes, then cuts in prgrams that are already getting slimmer ...

i feel this poll has been fair and every1 has such different opinions. From my experience whenever people get on politics they seem to get angry and border disrespect. I am so very proud of you guys for keeping this civil. I also am undecided but i cant help but weep tears of blood from the state of this world

You can not expect one person to clean up a pile a sh!t as high and wide as Mount Everest, all while having the people who are supposed to be supportive/respectable/appreciative of you, against you! And in some cases out to get you...

The new polls will most certainly show an increased popularity of the pres. Obama after the Bin Laden killing.

Well within the first 2 years of his presidency he has already been on TV more than any other president. I think he is all about liking the "fame". The problem with the country started long before him or even Bush....history is already starting to show that Clinton screwed alot of things up with his false sense of hope and everything came crashing down. Fact is until politicians go back to "by the people for the people" and not by the money for the money...the greed will continue and politicians will continue to get rich. Afterall our government is so worried about looking "Socialistic" that we are one of the only countries to have a healthcare system where the rich get treatment and the poor die!

I was not really an Obama supporter myself but i have to give credit where credit is due. Obama has worked his way into our hearts with this one.

I think so too Tommy. I think many feel the way you are about now.

I think this is my first post and an opinion on the subject regarding our current president.
I don't particularly agree or disagree in his presidency and his work.
So I guess I can be viewed as a neutral.
I do believe that he has been doing  a far better job than past presidents especially this new event and I think he deserves the credit but doing much worst in some areas especially his strong support in another bloody war...what happened to the man who shouted for being an antiwar before an election? He sure did not stop taking our young children to these endless wars...
To those who might think I am not a patriotic citizen from what I am about to say,I am just one of those many who believe in To Oppose War is Patriotic and I am in no way of trying to offend anyone but it's just my belief in certain things...

War can only gain nothing but a bloody disaster!!!
Remember the irony of how this evil Bin Laden was created and later was given the power in the first place...! What if we created another of him from these wars?
Our governments wants to protect Libya’s civilians and while doing so they can't avoid harming the civilians..., but It is as if other governments of their own are not killing civilians in the region and so many lives of our troops especially the youth...
From what I understand, this war is more about the control over oil and stopping the rebellion of workers and younger people in the region from being more radical and anti-systemic.
The governments launching the assault on Libya have been saying that they do not have money for our education and health care, etc.and we,citizens bound to suffer, but how are they finding the money to support another war now???
It seems to me this is just another war like the wars before in the past that it just signifies the fact that imperialists who arrogantly believe they are stronger and more powerful, can destroy any country they like in their own political and economic interests.
Once again, this is just my personal opinion and it will take no more war for me to be on his side!

i love reading your posts wnanhee like lipsand blue you put alot of thought behind them before you post them.YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME MODS AND TRULEY APPRECIATED

Nan and Lips,

Great posts by both of you!

I agree with both of your posts even though one strongly opposes war and the other see's the necessity. 

Our nation is the most hated and the most revered.  I understand why WE are called upon in time of need but often wonder why we keep helping everyone else when nobody seems to come to our aid. 

In the aftermath of 9/11, many countries offered a kind word but I don't recall any sending aid.  It seems when there is a disaster in other countries, we don't just offer words but so much more.

Following other countries natural disasters, we offer financial aid. How many telathons have there been for other countries?  Text a number to give $10. etc. etc.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall hearing about other countries setting up hotlines, fund raisers, etc. during the aftermath of Hurricaine Katrina, 9/11, the oil spill among others.

I have always been a supporter of President Obama, he was called a wimp, and a few other names, but he stood strong......and he gave America and the world a wakeup when it was announced that Bin Ladin was layed down......America wanted that, but we also want a better America and that is going to take some times...no matter what he was given a shaky American and he cant do it all by himself....there are just those folks that will never ever support him and thats okay.....that is why we have the tree bodies of government, the executive, the legistlative and the judicial.....so that no one would have absolute power....but there is evil in politicals, thats a fact.  He had to do what he had to do, and I am proud of President Obama, he is not the wimp, skimp, imp some folks thought he was, and more will be revealed, give it some time, he may be back for another term.....who knows what tomorrow will bring.....Bin Ladin is dead.  GOD BLESS AMERICA!

seems like we all agree that were glad Bin Ladins dead
