President Obama

[kamikazewave]

I've yet to see how Obama is better than Bush, or a good president at all yet.

1) The economy is worse than under Bush. I can tell even where I live in Alabama. Its hard to even get a minimum wage job and companies are still making cuts. Prices on everything are still increasing as well. I understand the economy won't fix itself in a day, but it is still continuing to decline despite all the money he has allocated as relief. Regardless if things are better in your area, the economy is still worsening for my area so therefore it isn't better for me.

2) He wants to prosecute those who "tortured" the supposed terrorists after 9/11. If he wants to prosecute them so badly, release the memo's that Cheney and others have called for him to. If they say nothing was found during the interrogations and torture, then fine, prosecute them. But if the information they received saved American lives, there shouldn't be a second thought as to whether what they did was in the best interest of America.

3) This isn't as much directed at him, more than it is at the Democrats who are calling the conservative right 'threats'. That's a brilliant strategy, call half of America terrorists and a threat to national security.

Those are just a few of the things that haven't settled well with me.

He's not too far into his presidency, so I'll give him a chance. I just hope that that chance isn't a turn for the worst.

You have to be joking me.

1. He inherited the economy from push, and is trying to correct it. What, do you expect instant results? Microwavable economy?

2. Obama stated clearly he didn't intend to prosecute intelligence agents. In fact, he got a lot of flak for it. Learn whatever it is you're talking about before saying anything.

3. What are you talking about again? It's just normal political demagoguery. For instance, conservatives have been calling liberals unAmerican, unPatriotic, communist, and traitors for how long now? Give me a break.

He doesn't need you to give him a chance, he needs you to read the damn news, and actually know what you're talking about. How can you interpret "does not intend to prosecute" for "intends to prosecute?" Wherever you're getting your news, just stop it.

And Cullain, there was someone who stated Obama was in a cabal to rule the world or something. That's what a nutjob is. I'm sorry if you agree with his sentiments.
