I'm disappointed, but not disgusted. No, what the Bush administration did to America was patently disgusting and unamerican. The bulk of what we are seeing now is a direct result of his administration's mishandling, and people like you are

1) ignoring this (though kudos to you for actually admitting that he wasn't a very good president here and there, in this posts and others)

2) expecting 8 years of mishandling to be undone in the two years he's been in office now irregardless of other issues that are coming up as time goes on (such as BP), and having written him off as a total failure as soon as he won, rather than hoping for the best.

I don't think that he can undo it in one term, and I don't really think that he's the right man for the job, though he is a massively better choice than McCain/Palin would have been.

Furthermore, I don't think you have any real idea of the sort of outrage that half this nation had over Bush.

Barack is our enemy by the facts of his policies and actions/inactions. He is damaging the United States and we should consider impeachment before it's too late.

The "negative attitude" Obama has towards the US is not a creation of the RW. He is ruining this country.
That is your opinion. Mine is that he is cleaning up the mess that dubya let and he seems to being doing every thing that he said he was going to do to get elected unlike dubya. As you all know it is going to take years to clean up 8 years of the worse president to date.

What next?

In this country today, the problem IS Obama.

I can't see how Democrats can think that Obama's policies are good for us.

If what we are seeing in America is what Progressives envision as progress, then we're all in big trouble. To adhere to this kind of fundamental change is just stupid.

Throw the bums out in November. And vote out Barack in 2012. He is a bad President. We need a President who is on the side of Americans.

You NEED to get your head out of the black abyss that is Rush Limbaugh and Glen Becks REAR and find some source of creditible News .. PLEASE.

The majority? The majority of what? Loud mouth neocons. Maybe the majority of Repubs but no where near the majority of Americans.

Show me the proof of the majority of Americans. I bet you can't?

there is no majority, 27 percent strongly favor, 44 percent strongly oppose according to rasmussen, which means 19 percent are indifferent.

The right wing and people like Congressman Barton have been more critical of Obama than BP. Its going to be an interesting mid-term election especially since BP was instrumental in getting the release of the terrorist that was part of the Pan Am 103 murders in return for oil rights in Libya.

Drill Baby Drill, Shakedown; the republicans just keep creating democratic election slogans.
