how come no matter what the president does or don't do

I agree with you! but true is the saying No matter how hard you tried, you cannot please everyone...You cannot please all the people all the time, but you can please all the people some of the time. Why dont they give him a chance to prove his worth. It takes takes time to build ones name.

Being president is a very thankless job. You get blamed for many of the country's faults, but rarely of the country's victories. I think that when you begin to dislike a president's politics, you try to find fault in every other aspect of what he does. I admit I hated Bush, in my eyes, he tore this country apart by acting very rarely on things that needed to be done, and when he did act, it was the wrong thing to do. In our system, rarely do we see many outspoken moderates, we only hear of democrats or republicans, and this makes it extremely difficult to agree with what the other side does. My mother, a lifelong republican, admitted to me that one of the hardest things shes ever had to do was vote for Obama. The press doesnt help either, because when one outlet is controlled by a party, they spend all their efforts slamming the opposition in any way possible, and thats where the average american gets their news from

Leave him alone? Who are you....the Britney girl or something? No, I will NOT leave him alone. He was hired to do a job and more importantly, he was hired to do it in a specificly described manner with specific limitations and boundries. As long as he ignores those boundries, I will absolutely NOT leave him alone. It is my right and DUTY to not let him have a minute's rest as long as he is not doing this job with in those boundries. As it is with every other person we elect, I do this with everyone that falls with in my voting reach. Ask Senator Judd Greg if I have ever "left him alone", I am sure by now he cringes every time his phone rings with my number on his caller ID. Ask state represenatives Scott Merrick or Evylin Merrick, Bill Remick or Her Richardson, or state senator Thall, everytime I corner them in shaws parking lot or at go-go gas's lunch counter if I "leave them alone". Ask my spinless federal boot licking Governor if I "leave him alone". These people SERVE US, they do NOT RULE us. I will haunt these people endlessly when I do not feel they are doing what I hired them to do, they way I hired them to do it. I will stop them and thank them when they do, I will encourage them and publicly support them when they are acting as public servants and working to preserve our republic. But it is again, my right and responsability to not allow these people sleep as long as they are not. If you wish to be servile and blindly trust the people you elect, then that is your perogative. But you deserve what ever statist you vote in to office when you do this.

This is a very dangerous viewpoint. To believe that once a person has been elected we must never criticize or disagree. To have no opinion on what he is doing unless it is a good one and if we disagree we must never say so. Excuse me, but this is the United States of America where I am not only entitled to my free thought and opinion but also to express it freely. Just the fact that there are so many people on here telling us that we are wrong to take a critical and analytical look at the policies of the president or anyone else in office is an example of the cult of personality that seems to be replacing the free thinking and willingness to question that America was founded upon. It is my right and my duty as an American to examine the actions of our elected officials and if they do not truly represent my views and values to speak out. I cannot remember any other time in history when people were urged to forego their basic rights, to just be quiet and go along with it. Just worship him. No thanks.

The bottom line is no matter who you are or who you voted for, we all want what is best for the U.S. and for the people. All we want is for government to do the job we hired it to do. It's not unreasonable for Obama to take the time to see what works best instead of jumping in and signing bills that future generations will be paying. That's not too much to ask for.

I did not elect him. And the job he has set out to do...is to make my country a socialist state. I think it is very healthy and wise to question our 'leaders'. They are human just like us...and are not above the law of the land, which is The Constitution. If a person is elected saying one thing, and then once elected, does another...it is entirely proper to 'question' that person. That is the American way...and it is necessary to keep us from falling into tyranny. If you support the president's action thus far...post away! Tell us why. You have every right to do so. But be prepared to learn somethings about why others are complaining.

I presume you are talking only about Obama, that Americans have to keep giving him more chances then any other president before was given. Yet when Bush was president, the media was complaining about him when he was just getting started and no one wrote "why not give him a chance?" This is not about lets give any president a chance to ruin or save America it is about make sure no one opposes Obama's policies even if they will ruin America. I am sure that when Kennedy and Roosevelt were presidents - both Democrats, there were people who said "maybe America should not go to the Moon" and having lived at that time, there were lots of articles about the futility of going to the Moon when there were poor people in America, and with Roosevelt there was probably talk about not bombing Japan and just letting the soldiers fight and let the depression run its course. But now there is Obama, just let him do what he wants and do not say anything bad against his policies because he is savior, lord, demi-god Obama.

Totally in agreement on this one..The poor thing lost his privacy the day he got elected as a president. People do need to leave him alone but then if that were so, politics wouldn't be politics any longer...

You're perfectly welcome to post opposing viewpoints. You can post about the positive things he does. And no, I won't let him alone. He's a big boy and he can take it.

It isn't just Obama. Every president has had certain ones that love to just put down at every opportunity. No president is perfect and they all have done things that we don't approve. Some is worth discussing while other things are just so trivial that they are ridiculous.

No, we can not leave him alone. His policies have an effect on our lives, and if we think they will do us more harm than good, we'd be crazy to just sit idly by while he makes a mess of things. Because people have different views and opinions, there will always be complaints. It goes with the job.

I agree with you 100%. People just need to let the man do his job. Is the President perfect? No, but then again nobody is. But the reality of it is that no matter what the President does he can not please everyone and there will always be people that complain. Its a shame and that is one of the things that is tearing the country apart. If everyone tried to work together instead of treating each other like garbage it would be a little easier to get things done.

I know what you mean psychotaz. You just can't please somepeople no matter what you do. You could jump through hoops of fire and they would say there wasn't enough fire...lol I cannot remember one president that everyone was satisfied with as long as I have been living and can remember. Ther has alwasy been something that they haven't done right. This thing with Obamas birthday certificate is starting to get on my nerves. Why now after he has already been in office almost 8 months are they worriedd about a birth certificate now? That should have been something address before he was allowed to enter as a candidate. Besides he has shown a ligitimate birth certificate and people are still saying it is phony. I just don't know what some people want. I don't think giving them blood would even make them happy. flutterby

We could say the same thing about our last president. However, the people that are saying Obama should be left alone were very quick to down Bush at every turn. The big difference is the news media would lambast Bush at every turn. They are so in the pocket for Obama that they are not even reporting the horrible legislation that is being past. If you do not believe me or do not follow politics then please answer these questions. Do you want an electric bill that is at least $100 more a month? Do you think the government should check your medical background before you have a medical procedure to decide if you will get enough use out of the procedure to justify it? Do you think elderly people should have to have end of life counseling (basically how to die)? If you answer yes to all of these, then Obama is doing exactly what you want. If you say no to any of them, you need to follow politics more. By the way, the increased electric bills legislation already passed.
