He let me and my parter down, we put him in office, he has dissed us and reminds of a taller Don Knotts, the change we need is not Obama but someone with some guts!
That's ridiculous and you know it. The President (any President) is an agent of change. It's a question of maneuvering things to get that change accomplished, and nobody does that in less than a year. We've become a nation of instant gratification, and we expect what would have been considered miracles in any other generation.
As for autopilot, that's exactly what we were doing for the eight years before Obama's election.
If by that last statement you mean 0bama wrested the controls away from the pilot and sent the plane crashing into the ground, I completely agree.

I agree. So far he is just a 3rd term of GW Bush. I am honestly wondering if we would not have done better with McCain. At least when your enemies *********, it hurts less than when your friends do it.

Obama is keeping to his promises but there are some who think he can reverse the mistakes of many years in one year. That attitude disappoints me more than anything Obama could ever do or not do.
No, no, no, no, no, no , no and no! The only thing he has accomplished was the huge bail out of Wall Street and the big banks.

No, seriously, Obama is too status quo and I am disappointed in that as well. Someone needs to tell him status quo is not change. He's done a little but not nearly enough. And the republicans are doing everything they can to keep him from making any changes at all.
He has not even done "a little". He has accomplished nothing, nada, zippo, zero.
Obama has done more positive things for this country than Bush did in 8. Bush ran us into war, alienated us from the world and caused the greatest recession since the great depression. Please...and you haters want to talk trash about Obama. Please...spare me.
Well, yeah. Except for reversing the Global Gag Rule, unsealing Uncle Ronnie's and Poppy's Presidential papers, banning torture, imposing ethics requirements, closing Guantanamo, not vetoing Ledbetter or S-CHIP, pulling out of Iraq to fight in Afghanistan, clamping down on abuse by credit card issuers, regulation of CO2, FDA regulation of tobacco, actually talking to foreign allies and enemies, fixing instead of creating major domestic and international financial crises, brokering support for the IMF, expanding and reinforcing hate crimes legislation, and going weeks at a time without visiting Crawford, Texas. Other than those few things and perhaps a couple of others, it's just been more of the same old same old. Living in the White House...flying around in Air Force One...all this sameness has been just sort of eerie...
