I am middle class America. We just roll with the punches and sometimes do a little punch back of our own. Everybody get your fists up, it is time to let those who think they are running things know that this is still a land that is self governed. So, one, two, three--P-U-N-C-H.

He's doing way to much to continue Bush's policies: the bailout, the war in Afghainstan, the War in Iraq, keeping people in Guantanamo without charging them with anything, government secrecy. I'd give him a 6 on a scale of 1-10 so far. he's doing much better than Bush, but hasn't given American the clean break from Bush, and his neo-con politics that drove this country into the ground, that it needs. If he cleaned out shareholders and CEO's at banks that can't survive on their own, be more transparent, charge every detenee at Guantanamo with something or let them go, start withdrawling the troops from Afghanistan and commit to having all troops (no residual forces) out of Iraq by the end of the year, I'd give him an 8 or a 9.

I think anyone who believes Obama is doing great MUST want more government in their lives because that is the direction we are going. Does the majority of America really want this or are we just too lazy to make independant decisions? Do you really want government telling you what or if you can get medical treatment? Do you really want the government preventing you selling your home because it doesn't meet certain "standards"? Is more government really going to improve your lives????

Change for the worse you mean?

Why are we going backwards instead forwards under Obama.

Guess his voters voted for the wrong kind of change or Obama did not mean change for the good and needed to change the words so others can understand what he REALLY MEANT.

Hope and Change

Hope Obama does not take the last bit of change you have in your pocket.

I tend to agree. Though on a side note I would give him a credit for the appointment of Sotomayor and his dealing with the medical marijuana DEA issue. I think he has done an excellent job in these areas.

Bush was doing a wonderful job and the destruction of the country started the day Obama was elected. Everything was fine before Obama was elected and Bush was doing a great job. A very smart, intellectual man who had a deep understanding of the Constitution, a very kind and spiritual man who even said that God told him to start the Iraq War.
I am sure if McCain had been elected he would have continued the great work of the Bush administration.
