With unemployment hitting a 25 year high with no end in sight, the Obama masses will eventually come to their senses when they hit the bottom of the barrel. Temporary Summer jobs for teenagers will not bail this country out.

Obama is a one man wrecking machine. One industry and one law at a time. Nationalized healthcare will destroy the private insurance industry and will inevitably put multitudes out of work and people into graves because of bureaucratic red tape.

Time to wise up folks. The only campaign promise Obama intended to keep was jetting Michelle around on date nights at our expense. He just snubbed Sarkozy and his wife so he and Mike could go out on the town.

Barry, you are POTUS not a %^$# tourist.

I live in Europ and we can see what the Bush neocons ( with those Cheeney + Rove + Rumsfeld malware spirits ) did to USA and its people : all the power to the rich and famous in USA, the rest all over the world can die !!!!
now that you have OBAMA ( and we also have him for OUR world ) we see a real difference in attitude to the human values that count in this life !!! so if you only think about your own money making welfare : PLEASE shed up because now is another period for this world !! some more human values, some less egoist attitude ! See how Cheeney now is trying to justify his behaviour !!! oh he is so nice now !!!! he never did this or that, he likes homos now, he is so kind to the world ..... poor neocon cancerlike satanic influence !!
poor USA if you do not understand the change, but if you try to kill this president ( in real or in intention ) then you'll show your thrue face = EGOIST - NEOCON - STUPID - CAPITALIST FRAUD - SATANIC - MALWARE - MADOFF - ENRON - FRAUD - SICKENING - STINCKING SYSTEM supporter - brainsick old fashion machos !

So much for the glimmer of hope.

Yeah, and the one thing that could have helped despite this administration's disastrous spending plans was the relatively low price of oil.

All of this time has passed and NOTHING has been done to decrease our dependence on foreign oil, in fact because of new restrictions on drilling and exploration there is more dependence on foreign oil.

Have you seen how the price of gas is going back up?

Any recovery this administration had hoped would come from their insane spending and bailouts will be dashed by higher oil costs.

They have no idea how bad it will get, as these costs continue to rise and their new plans actually have helped cause that.

This belief they have that less dependence on oil without any rise in domestic production through restrictions, is only going to make it worse, and cause prices to continue to rise.

No matter how much money they throw at the the economy, they can't hope for better days when they are seeking to crush the ability to produce the life blood of this economy.

It will be too late when their fantasy green technologies arrive, they should have thought this through more.

Unless they actually want to destroy this country and economy to achieve some other goals and/or objectives.

When gas prices rise back to and above the $4 per gallon range you will see more clearly what I am talking about... Prices are already back above $2.60 per gallon in many places now and still rising.

Shipping costs will now go up sharply along with fuel surcharges, eventually causing a rise in everything in the stores. More lay-offs and unemployment will result and the downward cycle will gain momentum.

Either this administration and congress are completely stupid, or brilliant if their goal is to destroy capitalism and restructure the nation into some new twisted version of socialism then they are getting it done brilliantly!

Text who is responsible for the problems today ?? 8 years BUSH or just the beginning Obama ??? who did permit the capitalists to fraud on all levels of the system ?? Bush or Obama ?? so lett this new president try to change something, he is not responsible for the situation we got into !!!!

I do not know if you know but your president is also the most important president in the world for us !!! USA is still the greatest democracy in the world with very much influence in it. Do you agree ? the power of USA is very great, so of course I have to say that your president is in positiv or in negativ very very important for the evolution of this - our - world. So in some way your president is also our president - sorry for you if you do not undrstand this.

If your from "europ" how can you be in a situation like we here in the NAU are?

Answer: your not. You just adoring the latest Political pop star exported from the US... WooHoo its obama big deal.

The bailouts started under bush and are continued under obama and when the next man comes into power Obama will of done his part to set him up too...

I sincerely hope that my fellow citizen understand that key point. The president in power sets things up for the incoming president. They power the legislate themselves is not used by them but by the people that follow them...

You thought bush was bad for the wire taps and arrest and detainment without charges... You can look to Obama to use that legislation en mass..

In fact it has already begun with the new Cyber security Czar... It will be that Czars job to ensure that we can all be monitored, watched , and if need be, detained without warrant because we may represent a threat.

Just like those fellow in gitmo that get to plead guilty without a trial so that they can be put to death...

Can Obama be stopped? No not really, because he only has limited authority. The ones that give him his marching orders are the ones that need to be stopped.

" spreading democracy " ????? are you kidding ??? looking for oil yes !!! democracy can not being brought by war, democracy has to come from the inside of the people's countries !! you are just like missionars in Africa wanting to bring the catholicism to the " poor " lost africans !!! you did have a big macho attitude : I'll bring you the best ! I know what you need !!! but meanwhile I bomb your house and your family ???
you can bring democracy by your personnal exemple, not by your bombers !
where is the democracy in USA when you have so much fraud ??? when so much people are poor and loosing their houses ?? when you have so much violence and murdering ??? your country is SICKENING MAD and neocons are just fighting for their own profit making it more difficult ! let us give all possible power ot your president to TRY to bring some quiet and some new values to this world !

What country did you say you were from again? Poland? No I must inform you that the US president is only the president of the USA and not your nation or the entire world or even the UN.

Maybe if you feel so passionately about politics you should try to do more for your own nation and pay less attention to ours as what happens here barely affects you in an indirect manner.

simple answer.

no

and in consideration of the alternative...

Gobama 2012! :-)


besides, who do you want in there...Jeb? pfft
