Today,a question for whites about Obama.

Your questions are about race call them what they are. Hussein O's approval rating is 38% across the board isn't it? Not just amoung whites. The man is losing his ratings and it has nothing to do with race.

I tried to see what Obama's approval rating was by ethnicity. but could not find anything conclusive. Though from what I have heard he still has a high approval rating from blacks. Then the rest of the ethic groups are pretty much the same. As far as the job Obama is doing. I think if you took out the economy and negotiating (or some would say "standing up to the Republicans") with Republicans he is doing a good job. Right now most everyone in this country only cares about is improving the economy. The only people that seem not to care about the economy is many politicians that just want Obama to fail so their side will be back in power. I will say I voted for Obama and I am white. I personally think he is a good man but I have been very disappointed with the way he has handled the economy. He has seriously lacked leadership in that department and let the Republicans walk all over him on the issue. He has a little over a year to correct the issue. It is simple if he don't he will not get reelected. That being said he might as well come out some real bold new plans even if he can't get it to pass congress because what ever he comes up with it is not going to pass congress. Then he needs to get everyone in his party and and his base all fired up. Then he is going to have to fight tooth and nail every single day for his plan and every time congress rejects it add one minor thing and send it back to congress until they they cannot stand the word economy. Maybe people who consider themselves independents will start agreeing with his point of view and start backing him again. They will then know one side just cares about being back in power an not about getting the economy back on track. If that does not work then at least he went down swinging. I think most people would respect that. At the end of the day I think most people could careless that he is black. They just want him to start leading and show he has some fight in him.

I am sorry,I was really busy yesterday and missed your discussion.I wish I hadn't. I am white,a widow on social security and voted for Obama and will again too. At the begining of the campaign,I was not sure who I was going to vote for....wasn't paying good enough attention.Then,I really woke up and started paying attention when I got the newspaper one day and seen how McCain could not remember how many homes he had!Then I heard that Obama had 1 and he said that is all he needed. Then I watched the news and debates and seen how dingySarah Palin was then I just made up my mind there. Now,I see how there are things are not going right,but if WE would all work together we would do a lot better.But,there are people(in this case republicans) want to see Obama fail,so they can say ha ha we were right.And hopefully then only republicans would be voted in! Now,I am not a republican or a democrat.......I vote for who ever I think can do the job!But,right now most republicans are not impressing me.In my opinion the best president that the USA ever had was Ronald Reagan and I am sure he would very ashamed how the party that he was in is acting right now.He wanted people to work together and the republicans right now are sure not acting that way at all! I would not care if Obama was purple! If people would work with him then things would work out better.

I would say he is doing a terrible job, he is putting so many regulations on businesses, and I suppose going against lemonade stands is one of them, that I suspect that he will kill initiative. He is also turning America into a socialist country, increasing debt, wanting americans to be dividd by race or class. What bothers me is why so many blacks voted for him. I wondered whether they did because they approved of what he is going to do, or whether because of him being black. And the I started to wonder what would have happened if a blackcandidate appeared and said, "I am going to take away all your freedoms, I will tax you unmercifully, and not only that, you have to put my carving on Mount Rushmore and take away everyone else's." Would the blacks vote for him? You see, if a white candidate appeared and said the same thing, no one would vote for him unless they loved living in a dictatorship,"

Honestly I would not care if he were purple with pink spots, I simply don't like the way the nation is being steered. Our economy is in the tank, he forced a health care plan that most disapprove of upon us....whether we can afford it or not, his new jobs bill will do more harm than good in the long run. What can I say, we need change yes, but good and solid change, not things that will cause more problems for our already troubled nation.

I had high hopes for Obama. I was blown away by his speech at the Dem convention and saw him as a potential. I disagreed when he ran because I felt he didn't have the experience yet and should wait a few years.When he won I was happy we finally had a black President because I thought he was a good role model for the country. As time went by I think his inexperience is showing and he has made a lot of mistakes and shown poor judgment..I wish he had waited to run.
