All that "stuff" is someone else's fault. Besides people don't need jobs when we have "STIMULUS."

VISIONARY??? I guess you could call it that if you have a vision of breaking the United States up into pieces and bankrupting our country. REMEMBER THIS...OBAMA IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR THE UNITED STATES. You won't remember who I am, or even where you heard this, but remember, within 20 years, we will no longer be the country we have been. 20 years from now, you will know that I was proven right. Our country is done, thanks to Obama and the Liberals. Its over.

Obama is a forward-looking President; a visionary. He sees America as it should be. Obama has the drive to fix some of the foundation problems that this country has in order to move us into a more powerful position in the decades to come....starting with healthcare.

People keep screaming about Obama's healthcare reform but it is really on the order of FDR's Social Security Administration.

A lot of the people who are against healthcare reform benefit greatly from Social Security and Medicare. Somehow these same people have no problem with passing on the financial burdens of "Socialism" Security to the younger generations (when it benefits themselves directly, of course)

He would only spend, spend, spend. And here you are - whining about Obama! You just don't want a black man as a president. That's the truth.

Obama is in the landslide effect of G W Bush's disasters. It will take several years to stop completely and get on the upstream, but a good indication is that it hasn't gotten far worse. This means the enormous landslide caused by Bush is slowing down.

Since you believe Obama is so great would you care to comment on his budget?

All voters need to do is suspend disbelief for another nine months. And ignore the first four years.

The real news in Mr. Obama's budget proposal is the story of those four years, and what a tale they tell.

Obama sees America as Europe. If you think that's how it should be that's really sad. I don't think too many people are against healthcare reform. I do think many people are against the disaster that Obama passed against the will of Congress and the American people.

Not even reflective of reality....

the previous post was on target. Bush started a landslide and Obama has in fact stopped the US from a horrid depression. his tactics have worked.

The spending you want to attribute to him falls squarely on W. The reality is W took us from 3.5T to 10.5T then as he left office he had a 1-2T give away to his Wall street supporters(TARP). which Obama reeled in.
He signed the unfunded Medicare Part D 1/2 T
Need I point out the war was all his? 1.5T So you have W responsible for around $14T. We are at 15.5T and the spending has slowed. The wars are being scaled back, his stimulus packages have cost under 100Million each in general and have saved the auto industry and countless jobs Cash for clunkers was only about 20 million, what a great buy. old inefficient cars off the road. We have 1% of our cars as hybrids now. reducing the demand on oil and our dependence on the middle east...

The spending you want to blame Obama for has mostly been a reaction from what he inherited from W. With some well placed stimulus to keep your family working.

Anyone thinking that Barry is going to have the same effect on Democrats?
I don't think you can compare Bush to any other recent president because he was in his own league of "bad". No one else comes close.
