Which Is the True Obama?

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. i think whatever Obama has done so far is commendable. The way the elections were postponed looking at the Sandy is praiseworthy, he took a wise decision. For him attending a fund raising event is much more important than being at Libya. Fellow country men need to be taken care and addressed first and then other people should be given priority. Now lets see what he does in the coming days. What say?

These days all the major TV chanels have been reporting on the storm in U.S..In a country where the established ideology is quite different from that in U.S.,I see many Chinese pay great sympathy with the victimes.With the relaxation of the ideological control over the public by the government,this decade has seen a trend of the return to humanitarian concerns from some -ism.In fact,there have happened many manmade disasters in China,and more terrible,details about these incidents are often kept to the official only.But these years,with the development of the Internet media which serve as a relatively more transparent chanel for people to get information,manmade disasters can be discussed by ordinary people and once becoming a nationwide sensation on the Internet,some of these disasters can lead to some real changes in policy.In fact,there are more man-made disasters in China than in US,but I also see that with the development of a transparent system,China have made progress in precaution measures and some relief measures.I think a transparent political system is much more important for a country than a man.The true Obama is impossible to be known to us all,but what's more important,in my opinion,is the existence of a transparent machanism.I don't know if I have my thought expressed in correct English.In fact,political themes are kind of hard for me..Finally,hope all peoples will be free from disasters.

I heard before the superstorm hit, the president asked folks to please hurry to the early voting booths! But I don't know if that is true or just a rumor!

There are some things that can be done before hand in both cases. With the natural disaster, there were predictions and some preparations were made mostly by the individual states and cities. For Benghazi not only had increased security been asked for for several months before the killing of the four Americans on Sept. 11, but just because the anniversary of 9/11 was approaching, security should have been increased at all the embassies and other places. Obama completely ignored the pleas from Libya for increased security and totally ignored the approaching 9/11 anniversary as far as security any where in the world was concerned. The U. S. is just lucky that other terrorist's attacks didn't happen in many places on the 9/11 anniversary.

I'm pretty sure that if the election wasn't so close Obama would have still been out campaigning and wouldn't have acted so fast to the storm. Everything he does is to help himself get re-elected.
