Stop hate towards President Obama

":I have to say that people do not know how the whole economy works at all." Very true. For instance, Obama thinks you can keep spending money like a drunken sailor and borrowing more money from China when we are already broke and are already too deeply in debt. He's thinks you can spend your way out of debt. He certainly doesn't seem to know how the economy works. "One we did not need to be in Iraq any way" Obama has gone one better on this. Whereas Bush had congressional approval for Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama didn't get approval when he decided to bomb Libya. And yes, he did put troops on the ground. But even better, Obama is responsible for three wars of his own - the race war, the gender war and the class war. Divide and conquer, I guess, but used on his own country. BTW, are you sure he's not Jesus? Evan Thomas of Newsweek said Obama was "like God", he was floating "above it all". So, maybe the mistaken impression that Obama is the Messiah is one that the press gave purposely. Maybe you can't help but fail when people think they've elected God. But that was 2008. Now we all know better and there's no excuse for voting for Obama, we know he doesn't know how the economy works or how to pull anyone out of a mess.

The thing that angers me about politics, is that no matter what person is elected people expect an immediate change. The truth to this is that there is no way the economy is just going to suddenly turn around. If we want change in our country we need to have a president that is able to work efficiently with Congress. Even if we do accomplish in starting a change it will take many years of hard work to make a great impact. As for the whole Obama thing, I believe that people are angry that while he has been in office he hasn't really changed anything, but this really isn't his fault because when he does try to sign a new bill or something Congress just blocks it. If you ask me I believe that Obama should be reelected, and we should shift are focus to get some new Congress members that are willing to compromise for change. Even though lots of people may have a "Nobama" attitude I believe that if Obama had a Congress that would work with him, then he would be a very successful president.

Seems that no one looks at the fact that, no matter what he has done or hasn't done, he made history, first Black president. As for whether Bush was a good or bad president, there is one thing no one has addressed, every President, good or bad, inherits the mistakes or accomplishments of the previous administration. As for 'we did not need to be in Iraq'....what should we have done, just waited for them to hit us again? As for Obama, I didn't vote for him the last time, I won't vote for him this time!

Because Canadians never owned black slaves, we have very little racial prejudice, and perhaps this is one reason Pres.Obama is so well liked in Canada. We see him as the only reasonable choice for President in November. Obama is faced with obstacles on every path, placed there by Republican millionaires who are willing to bring the country to its knees, and to ignore the poor, in order to placate their rich friends, and their own bank accounts. In their eyes President Obama is just another poor black man!

I think there's been a glitch at myLot. Something very strange has happened. A post from 2008, when Senator Barack Obama was running for President, has been lost in limbo only to return in 2012. I'm voting for Ross Perot.

No politician is perfect! But we humans need leaders so we choose people of who we think can do the job as good as possible! Sometimes we have good options but choose the wrong ones, while at other times we choose the right ones at the time! The truth is that politicians are human beings and that circumstances can change so they have to do their best to adapt to it and to work out the best option for everyone else. We humans have the tendency to blame outer circumstances instead of blaming ourselves if things don't go the way we wish or want them go. But we usually haven't gotten all the background knowledge of what's really going on as the media likes to keep us in the dark for various reasons... But however bad or good a politician might appear-always imagine a world without a leader and were everyone would do what he/she wants.... So stop blaming polticians...

Well, I know the fear I felt in my gut in 2008 when I knew we were close to meltdown and the FDIC was rushing in and trying to shore up failing banks. I think Barak Obama has done a very credible job of stabailzing things. I think he would have done a lot more if the Senate had not beaten down every good thing he proposed. At any rate, I am definitely willing to give him four more years.

Obama is just the same as Bush. Oh and speaking of someone who doesn't know the facts of this whole mess that Bush didn't put us in. This would be the work of Clinton and the Federal Reserve Chairman that he had Alan Greenspan. These are the people who carry far more of the blame than Bush ever could. It was the Federal Reserve that formed the Housing Bubble they created it through keeping the interest rates low which got people who don't understand the economy any more than they think they need to. The low interest rates got people to buy now and not save for the future. The low interest rate allowed the explosion in subprime loans. Then you have HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development) setting the goal of Freddie and Fannie to have a 57% loan level to low income to lower middle class. These people generally are in the Subprime loan range. So this mess was caused by the Government before Bush and a little bit during bush but this started in the clinton years. Obama is a failure in that he has killed a US Citizen without trial and thinks its constitutional to even kill US Citizens here within the United States. He believes it to be constitutional to at the will of the Executive Branch to detain anyone for any reason without having to ever have a trial. Obama is actually far worse than Bush in the regard for the disregard of Human Rights and heck even international law when it comes to war. Obama has Targeted civilians in a foreign Country for murder by US Forces. This would be the murder of 14 Women and Children in Yemen by US Forces. This attack yielded the killing of no terrorist just women and children. This was reported by a journalist in Yemen to which Obama pressured the Government to lock him up with out charge and then when the Yemen government was going to release him. Obama called the Yemen Government to threaten them as this journalist is helping terrorist even though our own Military Intelligence said he was a major asset to them on a number of occasions in finding out the structure of numerous terrorist cells.

Obama has been in office THREE YEARS, and can't even pass a budget. He has almost DOUBLED our national debt since he was elected. The price of gas has almost doubled since he took office. Unemployment is higher than it has been since the Great Depression!

Lucky 12 oh you will get some vile reponses but you pu t into words how I feel about this Obama thing and was afraid to write down,ONce I mentioned I was a democrat and this person insu lted me calling me a demonocrat and he was reported and his responsed was deleted too. I never go to politics as people do not know how to trea one other with civility there. You are right he is not Jesus and it will take time but the hating goes on. its so wrong and so stupid. I mean people here in my own country despise me because I voted for Obama. thats wrong completely wrong.Bush was a bad president and the Iraq mess did our economy in.

That is so correct! President Obama can't be blamed for all the stuff wrong with the US! He inherted alot form Bush Like you mentioned! That is so true! Obama also has to deal with the US senate and US congress! So as soon as something go wrong the President is blamed! With all the complainers out there I would like to see them be the president and see how hard it is! They would change their mind then!

I never expected him to snap his fingers and make everything ok. What I did expect him to do, was not make things worse. Everything Obama has done as made things worse. And no, he didn't pull us out of a mess Bush put us in. If anything, he dug the hole deeper. Now we have $17 Trillion in debt, our economy is still bad after all this debt we have, and *YOU* are going to pay the taxes to pay back all that debt. You don't have a problem with this? You're going to pay higher and higher taxes for the next 30 years of your life, to pay back what Obama has done in 3 years? That's not an issue for you? Why? How? If your parents got a bunch of Credit Card in YOUR NAME, and charged them all up so that now you have $50,000 dollars in debt you'll have to pay back for years, would you not have a problem with this? psst.... Obama did the same thing, and unlike a credit card where you can deny paying the debt as fraud... You *WILL* pay back the money Obama borrowed in your name. No issue with that at all huh?

Be careful of where the finger is pointing. I do not hate Obama, I totally disagree with his policies and what he has done. Is okay for other to hate Bush? How about hating Sarah Palin? I could keep the list going and going on this. Where is the difference?

why would people hate obama it makes no sense, sometimes people expect too much

Well, every country is the same. Every citizen has the same perception towards the government. We always look for the wrong in one person. Why not try to see what he has done in the country for a change. He won the election after all. Meaning, he won because people has seen something in him. Why doubt that now?

Hi! Thanks for saying so and I agree with you--this mess we are in won't be solved overnight and I do wish others would acknowledge it. Like the Great Depression, (it took us nearly 10 years to get out of that one) I expect its going to take us another term to get out of what we are in now.
