Obama is a figurehead, he is a puppet just like every other president. Look beyond the teleprompter man to the guys behind the curtain.

Just point out some good things Obama has done.
I don't understand why people ask other ATS members for the good (or bad) things Obama has done when they're easily accessible on the Internet. If you're really curious, FIND OUT! Don't ask other ATS members to do your work for you.
1. Obama Signs Law Ending Budget Delays for Veterans Care
Here are 48 more
If he is just the man in front of the curtain,isn't it time for him to"fess up"?
Let the people know the truth,about who actually runs the country. The office of President is as much an office of trust as it is an executive endeavor. The people deserve the truth!!

I agree, we have every right to criticize, "The One."
Why not call him out on his policies with FACTS
"There's always going to be an asymmetry of information between patient and provider," he said. "And part of what I think government can do effectively is to be an honest broker in assessing and evaluating treatment options."
In his book, Mr. Daschle proposes a National Health Board to regulate the way health care is provided. This board would have vast powers in regulating the massive federal health-care system -- a system that includes Medicare, Medicaid, and other programs. Under Mr. Obama, it is likely that that system will be expanded and that new government insurance for the nonelderly, nonpoor will be created.
Given the opportunity, Mr. Daschle would likely charge the board with determining which treatments and drugs are cost effective and therefore permissible to use for patients covered by the government. And because the government is such a big player in the health-care market (46% of health-care spending comes from the government), the board would effectively set parameters for private insurers.
It is nearly certain that the process of determining which drugs and which treatments would be approved for use would be quickly politicized. The details of health-care policy may not be kitchen table conversation, but the fact that a Washington committee can deny grandma a hip replacement due to her age, or your sister a new and expensive drug, is. Health care is personal and voters will pressure lawmakers on access to care.
Liberal experts, Mr. Daschle included, believe that America needs to ration new technology and drugs. In his book, Mr. Daschle complains about overuse of new technology and praises the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), a rationing system that controls government costs. NICE's denial of care is legendary -- from the arthritis drug Abatacept to the lung cancer drug Tarceva. These drugs are effective. It's just that the bureaucrats don't consider them cost effective.
The result will be that virtually every piece of advanced surgical equipment will be subject to a price increase to meet the levy from Washington. No matter that these devices often make the difference between life and death and that, in effect, taxing them raises the cost of vital treatments. The vengeful White House will have its pound of flesh from the medical device industry for daring to be independent and to refuse to knuckle down to administration pressure.
This tax, imposed in a spirit of haughty arrogance, falls on totally inappropriate objects. Valves, prosthetic limbs, pacemakers, hearing aids and such are essential therapies that make life longer, better and less painful. To tax them makes no sense. Except in the world of sharp elbows and interest group politics that grips this take-no-prisoners and show-no-mercy White House.
President Obama's "science czar," John Holdren, once floated the idea of forced abortions, "compulsory sterilization," and the creation of a "Planetary Regime" that would oversee human population levels and control all natural resources as a means of protecting the planet -- controversial ideas his critics say should have been brought up in his Senate confirmation hearings.

I am an American, there are no sides to that. The only thing that concerns me is what is best for America. The only reason they have the Left and Right is to keep us in a continuous battle between ourselves. This keeps our eyes and ears from seeing and hearing what they are actually saying and doing.
America, please put all this behind you. Stand up for each other as Americans. The puppets and their masters are winning. We are on the verge of losing what little we have left of our great nation.
Does it really surprise you that Obama lied, come on all of them lie. The only difference is this time around they have a young, articulate, educated and charismatic man hypnotising the people.
Along with the Bill being drawn up about the Birth Certificate, a Bill stating if the candidate lies to get into office, he/she will be thrown out on the a$$e$, period no exceptions.
Or better yet, while campaigning they have to be hook up to a lie detector, with a giant screen behind them displaying the words, TRUTH & LIE. Maybe that would keep the Liars from ever reaching DC.
Come Together America, UNITED WE WILL WIN, DIVIDED WE WILL FALL.
