I started this discussion to here you thoughts on the US president Barack Obama, he seems to be a really nice guy he is charismatic, and he also seems to be going a lot of good things for the country like the free health care for everyone, but apparently there are still Obama Haters out there and i was wondering why, how do you feel about him? Do you hate him? if so, why? Or do you think he id doing a great job?

I have good and bad thoughts on Barack obama because he is the person who took back the so many bpo industries from India but i will agree that he made that to improve his own country but he should think what will happen to the others means the neighbor country which is running the bpo industries. And in the starting moment he is too familiar but when he started his career as President then i think he lost his familiarness.

I have mixed feelings about president Barack Obama. Yes, there's no question he "seems to be a really nice guy", or that he is charismatic. I'm glad that his election shows that it's possible for a person to be elected president, regardless of his race. But on the other hand, I disagree with some of his beliefs, policies, and decisions. For example, while I don't oppose the idea of making health care accessible to people, I don't agree with all the things they wanted to do to accomplish this. I wouldn't say that I hate him. But I also do disagree with some of his stand on issues I feel strongly about. I think I would have to wait till after 4 years to be able to evaluate if he did "a great job." But my impression of his handling of things right now, it doesn't look good- whether it's the war on terror, the economy, or the Gulf Coast spill.

I think next to being a Mom, the president has a very tough job! As citizens of the United States, we see very little of what the president actually does. I do believe Barack has very likeable characteristics, but as far as his "job performance" as a president, that will remain to be seen, afterall he came into his presidency at the worst time in United States history...I hope he can continue to perform and make the changes he spoke of at his inauguaral speech.

I dont like him as a president. I would like him as a tv or movie character being president since hes a good actor. But so far he hasnt kept any of his promises and seems to be worse now then ever. Thats why is approval rating has drooped so much. If he keeps it up he wont win the 2012 election so he needs to do something to help his rating if he wants to win in 2012.
