what do u think of president oboma?

okay what do u all think about our current president oboma do u think hes doing a good job or a bad one whats ur opinion?

The economy is in worse shape than when he took office.......the unemployment rate is higher.......we're still in Iraq and Afghanistan, we just had over a dozen servicemen killed in Afghanistan.......there is no measure I can think of by which the country is in better shape now than when he took office......so, all in all, i'd say he's a failure as a president.

Of course there are many of his supporters who will blame Bush for the economy.......but that only works for about the first six months to a year after you take office........after that, if things are getting WORSE (which they have) you can't really blame the last guy.

I think his name is Obama

Hopefully his name will soon start with 'Former President'.

My opinion is that you can't spell, and that your teachers in school didn't do their jobs.

Mr. Dawkins is correct, the unemployment rate is higher now than it was back in 2007. That being said however, it has gone down every year so far that Obama has been in office. 2009 was the highest, it decreased in 2010 and even more-so in 2011. Problem is, it is slow. What needs to be understood however is the role Congress and ultimately the American people play in the economy, as well as the viewpoints that one will have on the President. My theory is, people forget all too quickly how the President was before the current. We are so fixated on the "now", that we forget the problems and issues of the formers. There are a ton of factors that go into making a president look good, or bad, but people get so wrapped up in thinking that one person is the culprit of every choice and happening that occurs. The are highly criticized as they should be, but that criticism should be looked at closely and logic exercised. Do I think Obama is a wonderful president? No, I don't. However, but I remember others as well. Many people put Bill Clinton on this pedestal now, but back in the 90's, impeachment was on the forefront of many people's minds.

One last thing. Of the 44 presidents. Obama ranks in the 14th-15th range so far in his tenure. George W. Bush ranks and average of 32. These polls are done by political scholars and historians. A 2010 Sienna poll ranks Obama 15th and George W. 39th. Oh, and as far as troops go. I don't know the figure of troops dying whilst on the search for WMD's.

I'm not necessarily pro-Obama. But we need to look at things carefully, and from a historic position.

Is this what you really think or did your nose grow?
I personally think it may be starting to sprout leaves, for you cannot clearly see the path Obama is dragging us down.
According to reaserch I've done GW's overall month average for his 8 yrs in office is 5.3%. while it begain to spike in the last year of his presidency, after the notion of Barack Obama becoming the democratic nominee for president.
The unemployeement rate for Jan of 2009 was 7.5%. So may I ask HOW it has dropped every month since Obama has taken office.
Oh and as far as the war goes I find it funny that a few years after the war was started no one can remember the reason we went to war. My recollection was that in the few weeks after 9/11 there was OVERWHELMING support not only in both bodies of the legislature, but by the american public as well.
I do not know about WMD,,,, if they were there or not. I personally did not care if Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction or one lone bullet. I had over 3000 reasons to support such a war, and I believe we should not leave until the job is finished.
I hear people talk about the U.S. not being the country we once were. And to a certain extent I believe that this is true. Most have become a people of political correctness, and we should get back to somewhat of a FU attitude. We can be your best friend or your worst enemy, you decide.
RANT OVER.

Isn't there a bigger issue than spelling here. Get over it and make a real comment! Obama is terrible, but the choices were slim. We need a real candidate!

I think very little of him. And not too often

Oh please, if you can't even spell the President of the United States' name properly, then there is something wrong. I have a sneaking suspicion that if I posted something about President "Boosh" then you would correct my spelling too!

I try not to think of him as MY president, I didn't vote him in, and have no use for him. He can be your president for one more year, then maybe we can get a real one.

hes worthless

If you're not Pro-Obama, you shouldn't be playing the Pro-Obama fallacy of making everything about Bush.......Bush isn't running against Obama, Obama is running against his own record.......he spend billions of dollars to create jobs at to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars per job, and his economy is still hemorraging jobs......the unemployment rate has not fallen, that's a lie from the administration.......the number of folks active applying for unemployment has fallen, because people who have continued to be unemployed have reach the end of their ability to apply for unemployment........and the so-called stimulus is alleged to have'created' or 'saved' 2.4 million jobs......at a cost of $666 Billion dollars........that equates to approximately $278,000.00 per job........Obama has been playing smoke and mirrors, because I guarantee most of those jobs created were not $278,000.00 a year jobs......so he spent more tax payer money 'creating' or 'saving' those jobs than those jobs even PAY! That's not progress, that's stupidity.......and THAT is assuming you believe the numbers the Obama administration provides, by their own estimate it's a colossal boondoggle, designed only to boost their shortterm unemployment rates.

If you posted something about 'Boosh' nobody would correct your spelling, because we'd know you were being sarcastic......more importantly, you should probably learn the fact that not everything is your bipolar black and white world of 'Boosh' versus 'Oboma'.........both those presidents have done their best to damage this country.....saying you don't like Boosh isn't really much of an argument for me.......I don't see things as 'Boosh' versus 'Oboma'.

I wasn't saying anything was about "Bush vs Obama". That is clearly not the case. I was simply stating that the vast majority of people on the anti-Obama bandwagon were also supporters of Bush, and chances are the person I directed my statement at was too. True, it is possible this is not the case... However, unlikely. Assumptions are being made about me too, seeing as I have not declared myself a supporter of either the current or past president. I was simply pointing out the fact that it is difficult to take the opinion of someone who cannot even spell the President's name very seriously.

Since you were responding to my post you assumed wrong!

The fact is that theres very little difference between Bush and Obama in reality despite their rhetoric.......Bush was big government and Obama is colossal government.

Bush and Obama are distant cousins....ahhh...it's all beginning to make sense now! Since JFK every president has sold us out little by little. Time for revolution!

I don't disagree with you. I will say, prior to the last election I really wanted to love Obama. I voted for him. Would I have been disappointed if McCain took the win? No. The song that Obama was singing was sweeter to my ears, however, so I (along with the vast majority if the country) voted for the man who moved me with his words. I am not saying he lied about anything, but I along with the rest of those who voted for him, are still waiting to see the actions behind those words. Only time will tell, assuming he is reelected.
