Because he is a populist...

This Country needs direction and the population surely has no answer.

He can't think because he is and always has been an empty suit. A slick smile only carries you so far. The man hasn't had an original thought his whole life.

He like most politcain and alot of americans does not care as long as they get what they want. He wants to by viotes just like they where in the healthcare bills and like he did by promisng free stuff to teh voters. Its the same as those brkers who gave many the hoime they wanted until teh bill really came dur. They willingly signed their futures away in many cases for a dream promised bu brokers. many did the same by voting for promises tehy will neevr see and at a high price for all americans in te futureespecailly thier chilkdren. The gredy want somethig they experience shoudl tell tehm is too good to be true. But as we saw with Madoff;the right con can get most believeing becauewe of greed.

He cannot think for himself.

He has hired a bunch of people around him to do all his work and his thinking.

This is why he is going down so quickly. He does not have what it takes to do the job, hires others to do his dirty work and of course they as a team are destroying America.

Its all in the plan to control.

But, then along came the Tea Party members and people like Glen Beck and others who have exposed Obama for what he really is.

Obama is not so great now is he?

WE THE PEOPLE are going to take American back from this bum and his band of criminals.

Obama isn't great!!!111!!!!1!!!!!11!!!

Now excuse me while I become even more religious and join the army to shoot people and also complain about abortions even if a woman is raped by a family member and she and the baby could possibly die, but abortions are killing so I will let both die. And I complain Socialism even though I used socialized programs all the time. Then I go call Obama a Communist, Socialist, Fascist, Populist and more even though they are conflicting ideas.

I then will say that Obama isn't doing anything and then contradict myself by saying that he is doing everything wrong despite an overwhelming majority agreeing that health care needs to be changed.

I then say that he doesn't know what he is doing because he is inexperienced while lauding Scott Brown. I also say that Obama cannot think for himself (another contradiction to other things I've said) even though I loved Bush who got C's in college and coasted through. Then I yell at Democrats for bringing up Bush and the past while I talk about Reagan all the time, even though his policies failed.

I also enjoy watching Fox "news" which is "fair and balanced" even though it is all opinion and they sued for the right to lie and Fox and other Conservative radio shows are number one yet I complain about a Liberal media bias.

But the thing I love to do the most, is to point out how Obama is spending money, even though Bush spent more money in his time for a pointless war which I now blame Obama for not handling well. And Bushes failures, which are still being felt in Obama's presidency because it takes time to change things, I blame on Obama.

I am a Conservative and a Republican and I'm always right because I hate Liberals and Democrats.

Well it is hard for OBAMA to think, when he has no thought process going on. Hard to think when his memory fails you, because you have told lies, and don't remember to who.Hard for him to think, knowing that he has lost the support of so many who put their faith in him, and now have lost support. Hard for him to think, because he is constantly chaniging his stories. How can he keep up with the many stories he tells. It is hard for Obama to think, when he constantly distances himself from any muddy waters. Hard for him to think knowing there are video tapes and also transcripts out there, that catch his every move.

OK now that you went on that little rant, can you tell me what Obama has accomplished to help this country. I do not want to hear about what he plans to do but what has he actually accomplished that makes us better off. I do not consider myself the target of your post, but would like to hear from someone who must have all the answers. Thanks in advance.

-He signed the stimulus package, which really saved our economy from going down the tubes. The Dow has been over 10,000 for awhile. Is it costing us a lot? Yes. I still have yet to hear of a better option from conservatives they would confidently state would work.

-He nominated Sotomayor, thus making the Supreme Court even more balanced. Get used to 5-4 all the time.

-He got the ball rolling on health care. It has now become an issue that will have to be dealt with.

-He changed credit card rules. If I had a nickel for every college educated friend who ran up 5 to 10 grand on credit cards believing the interest rate would be 10 percent only to see it raise to near 30 I'd have a lot of nickels.

-He is offering states the opportunity to receive federal money to improve education. There are strings attached, however it is up to the states to take the money. 48 states thus far are on board.

-He reversed the abortion laws in regards to international funding. This to me is a big deal as abortion is a religious issue, not a political one.

Stimulus Package: there is no proof that it saved us. Especially since we're pretty much down the tubes right now anyway. The Dow is not the economy. A better option? How 'bout cutting taxes, loosening regulation, and shrinking government? Those really do work.

Sotomayer: really? Balanced? Unless you count leaning to the left, OK.

Healthcare: huge disaster. He completely misread the american people, and pushed something we don't want. Yes, we need reform. But the plan he and his cronies came up with is not it. Scott Brown was proof of that.

Credit card rules: have absolutely no sympathy for people that chose to go into debt, regardless of what they thought the interest rate would stay at. You have some pretty dumb friends.

Federal money for education: don't you mean bribes for adopting yet another utopian plan for the progressives to educate our children? How about we let states KEEP their money, and decide you best to educate their children?

Abortion: yes, he may have done that. But like just about every decision he's made in his first year, he lacks the wisdom to evaluate the direction he needs to take. Instead, he decides by agenda, then when the uproar ensues, he has to change his mind. Again.

So far, a solid F+
