What do you think of Barak Obama?

as an American i really like Obama as a president. hes trying to lower the national debt instead of adding to it like bush did,and hes endorsing green and renewable energy which will pay for it self over time unlike bush who was an oil person way before he came into office. he even helped pass healthcare reform which should lower the national deficit in the coming years. Obamas got alot to deal with though. he inherited the problems of the Bush administration which hes being blamed for such as the high unemployment. the economic problems hes taking the blame for isn't going to go away any time soon. it will take years to recover from. alot of the economic problems that are going on currently actually started under the Clinton administration when congress did away with the Glass-Steagall Act which was made into law during the Great Depression. the Glass-Steagall Act was enacted to protect against additional risks associated with security transactions by prohibiting commercial banks from collaborating with full-service brokerage firms or participating in investment banking activities. as far as i know congress still hasn't reinstated the Glass-Steagall Act or something just like it but it could of helped prevent all the economic mess that the country has went through over the past 3 years. bush didn't help the economic stability either when he came into office. Bush made the economic situation worse by decreasing taxes for everyone including the most wealthy of Americans during a time when 2 wars were going on. you can't expect not to add alot on to the national deficit when you decrease taxes for everyone during a time of war(especially 2 wars). more debt added to the deficit would of occurred anyway but bush didn't have to lower taxes for everybody. also what the 2 Iraq's said about Bush doesn't surprise considering all the suffering Iraq went through during the Iraq war.

Barrack Obama made a huge difference in this world and we should all be thank full of what he done to the world.

after 9-11, iraq and much more, i don't think anyone could be a likeable president after cleaning up this. I don't think that mccain would have been America's most beloved president by the republican party either. As far as Obama goes, he has not wasted that much money, war costs more than a medical plan for low income families which is basically sobra or medicaid.

This may be an interesting discussion.... I am looking forward to following this I am holding my peace for now.... ;)

One thing for sure about Mr. President Obama is that he seems to be the one who is against the war. Again, U.S has the habit of surprising anyone in the entire world. So, It will actually be American people who would be able to judge him. I like his way of working though!!!

There is a lot of bad things being aid about Barrack Obama. Some people say that hes muslim and that the world will end because of him. I think only racist people say this. But in my opinion as a Canadian, I think hes an honest man trying to change the world for the better. I hope he does but I know hes working his best.

I support him completely ! Yes, he is trying to make a difference but he has a very tough job. He was left with way too many problems and cant possible solve them all but some ppl expect that he should. I think, in my opinion anyway, he is the best president of my lifetime and I hope and pray that he gets re elected again in 2012, and I pray even harder that the republicans DO NOT get back in. God, that would be awful, terrible! Just imagine waking up the day after the election and seeing John Beahaer is the houses peaker??? OMG!!! That cant happen!!!! People get out there and vote, and of course vote democratic.
