In the midst of the worst ecoomic crisis. He is doing a better then expected job. Change is here!
Finally a REAL President who is all about the people of USA and not warming up the seat out there.
Apparently you haven't left your home or read a newspaper in the last seven months if you think Obama has done even one thing good for the country..!
You are the kind of unknowledgeable people who put this loser in office, and refuse to see the light, even as he leads the country to it's demise.
If his programs get passed, which now seem unlikely as people are wising up, this country will no longer exist. If you like what he is doing, move to Cuba and enjoy yourself...!
He is worse than Jimmy Carter. Carter tried to do the right thing, he just wasn't smart enough. This guy is intentionally leading us to socialism. He wants to be king of the world..!
Why are there only two candidates listed on this poll? Last time I checked, there were atleast 6 candidates running for president in the last election. One of which was the Libertarian candidate, Bob Barr, whom I voted for. I know it is the agenda of our bi partisan system to keep people in the dark about the fact that there are other choices out there. But please, don't help them by not acknowledging all candidates.

Because they are statistically irrelevant. 3rd party candidates never come close to the other 2 parties.
Their party is always an offshoot of either the Democrats or the Republicans' platforms. So, instead of throwing their votes away, people vote for whichever party more closely reperesents their 3rd party's views.

You're so right. I mean I understand that the two party system is whats killing America, but theres no point in denying that our next president is either going to be Republican or Democrat. Its almost like people who vote 3rd party think they're smarter than everyone else or more knowledgeable, when really they're just idealists. If you want to make any kind of impression at all on the election, just pick the lesser of two evils. Sounds bad, but its just how it is for the realists in America.

3rd party never comes close because of the near media blackout concerning third party candidates. The only thing stopping a 3rd party from being a statistical probability is the system itself. We have been blinded into thinking the 2 party deal is the only way, so we vote that way. We've been trained, and your statement is all the evidence needed to see that. Vote 3rd party next time and maybe help change things. It isn't a wasted vote is you vote for what you believe. However, it is a wasted vote to vote for someone just because you want someone you voted for to win. The point of the vote is to vote for who you think is the best suited for the job, not for which team you think will win.

Your lack of knowledge of economics is surpassed by your failure to read. Had McCain been elected we would now be experiencing 30% unemployment and the housing/real estate/mortgage industry would be non-existent.
I voted for McCain and so glad I did, he would have been a great president.
