Why am I a fan of Pres. Obama? Because he's not an embarrassment to the world the way his predecessor was.
I think Bush did a bad job no argument there but Obama has been protected by the media, look at what Obama has done, he is doing the exact same things.
Because I do feel hope when he speaks of this country. Because of his determination to do what he thinks is best for everyone in this country whether you like his policies or not.
What gives you hope? He is a much better speaker, well teleprompter reader than Bush but he is failing in many aspects.
Because he won't be swayed by a poll on whether he can be re-elected or not to make the decisions that have to be made. I personally think nationwide health care is what this country needs.
The statement about not being swayed really isn't true though.
If other countries can do it, why not us?
Yes other countries are doing it but their system is failing and the medical system is as well.
I believe he's right when the rich should pay more in taxes than they do. Truck drivers are far from being rich, and your personal income is FAR less than would be taxed. I believe you would reap the benefit of the burden being lifted a little more from your shoulders.
Just because the rich can pay more doesn't mean they should be forced to though. It may not impact my taxes in the short term but when a business can be moved elsewhere to produce goods much cheaper, with less taxes, and now can be shipped in cheaper as well, it will impact your income taxes because they will be much less due to a decreased income or loss of income.
He said he would get Bin Laden and he did. He sent the NAVY SEALS in to kill the Somalian Pirates who kidnapped one of our U.S. captains.
Obama saying he would get bin Laden was nothing more than campaign rhetoric from a politician, he had no way of knowing. There are also a lot of questions being raised about him having to basically be forced to send the Seals in to get him.
He promised to pull troops out of two wars and he's doing just that. I could go on and on but I won't.
Yes he followed the withdrawal plan Bush had in place, he was in office when it happened but it really wasn't his planning. He also started another war for no reason.
You may not agree with everything or anything that he does, but you have to admit he's keeping the majority of his campaign promises.
He hasn't finished his term so you really can't be sure what will happen, but he has failed on many of his promises or bowed to pressure and not fulfilled what he promised including health care.
I find it more amazing that people elected this man on the basis of these promises-on the basis of change, and when change starts to come, they start complaining. We are a country of instant technology. The fact that you can blog like this is an example. We want everything RIGHT NOW!! If there's a problem you want it solved now. No one has any patience. With the opposition the Pres. is up against, it's amazing he can get anything accomplished. Pres. Obama? You're doing alright!!
There are 2 groups that don't like him, you have one group that never liked his policies and another that realize he is bowing to the pressure and not fulfilling his promises.
