Obama - What is your opinion so far on his Presidency

[YukonJack]

"By the way, an Eagle is an opportunist and a scavenger. It steals its meals from other birds of prey, eats carrion and rarely hunts and kills its own food. A very fitting emblem for the United States of Aggression."

What utter bunk!

And you consider yourself a nature boy!

Dear Employees:
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our insurance costs, taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead.

This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change...... I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

THE BOSS

Obama is the CEO.

There is no question in my mind about the learning curve for a rookie. Obama barely had two years in the Senate when he became a presidential candidate. I see him as still trying to wade his way through a bloated beauocracy. Some of his trusted advisors also brought down some criticism on him that wasn't necessary. I'm disappointed in the fact that to date he hasn't launched an in depth investigation into what happened to cause the US to fall into the state of fiscal failure it did. I still think that was a skillfully engineered event overseen by Arnie Paulson and friends from both sides of the aisle. That was the biggest swindle to US taxpayers have suffered.

Jimmy Carter must be real pissed off. The only thing that he was the "BEST" at was being the worst president ever.

Now this upstart denies him even that glory!

Hey Y.J. Do some reading on Warren G. Harding. (Let me know if your opinion changes)

 

[CurioToo]

Affirms to me a candidate must win honors on his/her past performance in similar high offices, taken a graduate course in political fair play and a deep abiding concern for those who are his constituents.

Obama has none of the qualities a president of any nation should have - perhaps in twenty years of learning but I believe the USA is not a legitimate college for political knowledge while service in a presidential capacity. One must come to that office fully vested in a program for all the people regardless of party affiliation, with an aim to practice that fairness throughout the years in office, both
national and international.

Ir would seem he has confused President with CEO of a large corporation or financial institution concentrating solely on money raising for favored groups and supporters and foreign nations.

Unfortunately the current president is a fine example of the "hen" guarding the "fox den".

I did, and it does not. You missed the mark by pointing out Harding, while you forgot about James Buchanan. (For those who care, he was also the only BATCHELOR president, with strong implications as to why). Statistically, there were other presidents considered worse than Carter, but their tenures were at a more innocent times, and none of them behaved post-presidentially as a total jackass, like Jimmy Carter. Proven by the fact that he was a Nobel Piss Prize recipient. And, by God, so was Obama!!

Yep, I'm aware of the insinuations about Buchanan, BUT he lacked the corruption that was rife with Harding. :smile:

Oddly enough, a large number of voters disagreed with you.
And in the US, the voters get the say. That's the whole point, isn't it?

Agreed - I wouldn't have it any other way - election by the majority - however many of those who saw eloquence and international flavor
in Obama now realize he has the vocabulary and none of the get down and dirty it takes to make things work in Washington. The
President can't be all things expected of him/her and still get issues pushed through.

The code of that last sentence would be: "Will they benefit the nation and its people?"

He has disappointed many in the nation who thought he was to be an answer - but there have been worse elected before him.

Oddly enough, TenPenny, I am sure you never referred to the fact that in America the voters have their say when G.W. Bush was elected to a second term. But that is your whole point, isn't it?

You also forgot to mention the "buyer's remorse" that even the most rabid liberals (with the exception of the mos rabid African-American liberals) feel after seeing the hope and change guy perform.

Good question to many of these ignorant isolationists just take the easy way out and blame Bush or some other President/Presidents. Wonder what a real investigation would turn up, bet no one would recognize the name of the people really responsible. (no not the Illuminati or any other rumored organization)

Obama is the CEO.

Perhaps too many people thought that Obama was going to "fix" things. There is no one man who has that power. For one thing I doubt if his knowledge of financial management is much greater than yours or mine. However I think his job is more to ferrot out the experts, get the right people together and create an amicable atmosphere for trade and commerce to work and I also hoped he could use his amicable nature to have enough influence on other world leaders so we can co exist to mutual benefit. I think Obama still deserves a chance, after all it took several decades for things to reach the state they are.

Wonder why he needed the Republicans to get anything done, as I have said before it takes two to get something done. I have no objection to what he signed this past week. I am though against the 'Dream Act" as it was written though glad it was defeated.

If he's pissing everyone off he must be doing something right.
