I fart on the potus efficency

Obama's extreme militarism and efficient further degradation of civil liberties whilst waffling on the issues that his base elected him to focus on make him a fine successor to President Bush.

As this rate he might even end up killing more brown people than the neocons, yo! :)

He's pretty much performed as I expected him to. I was one of the few McCain supporters in the UK, not because I thought McCain would be a superior President (although in all honesty I didn't think there'd be much difference between them), but because I thought he'd be a better friend to Britain. Obama has predictably failed to live up to the high expectations he created for himself, and is being a very average President.

Obama is one of the few great presidents the USA has/had. He faces the big problems without fear and makes even bigger solutions. The economic crisis, health care reform, draw back from Iraque, pushing forward in Afghanistan, the present economic reform and putting BP into responsebility are wonderful examples for a strong will.

He learned from the fight about health care how to keep acting determined in face of lobbiest, right wing media and the strange "teabaggers". I am very impressed, but the nobel price came to easy to him, almost everybody would have done a better job than bush on foreign policies :-)

I never saw a more "independent" president since i guess Kennedy

Dramatically disappointing. I did not volunteer for Mr. Obama and donate to his campaign with the intention that a year and a half into his administration, we'd still have privatized bond rating services, theoretically infinite non-judicial detention of people merely because someone in the executive branch says they're bad people, a gigantic subsidy to AHIP members, or Larry Summers, Timothy Geithner, Ben fucking Bernanke, and other disciples of ur-moron Robert Rubin playing critical roles in the US economy.

Um all that's a matter of opinion miro for instance after everything you just said I think your a damn fool. :)

That counts for my opinion of you too :-)

I hope you realize I don't mean your a damn fool but I was saying our poliytics are different and that's why its so ridiculous to judge a president in office.

don´t understand that...

I whole heartedly agree with the cordial giant knife. I didn't expect much difference between Bush and Obama, and he delivered.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Obama is a puppet president just like his predecessor. Nothing's changed. From bailouts to wars int's the status quo. There's no such thing as change in American politics. It's not a real democracy anymore but a financial dictatorship. The rare earth minerals discovery in Afghanistan recently explain the truth about why Obama is pushing the Afghan war.

Actually ebay if you did further research you would know how overdone the nyt article was and its a load of bullshit.

Iraq was the more winnable of the two wars and quite frankly the more important. Obama was a fool for choosing afghanistan over iraq if in fact he had to *choose*

I was reading "Bartholomew and the Oobleck" by Dr. Seuss to my son last night and could not help laughing out loud as President Obama, BP, some members the Press, and the American Populace came into startling focus.

Lol iif you aren't disgusted with politicians your probably laughing at them

Is it possible to not be disgusted at politicians sense they hardly seem to care about what the people they represent think about a law?
