Have you talked to the heads of states in Europe? I doubt it, as an individual you might be happy, but he is not respected by leaders..OF course I have noticed you are one person who doesn't like challenges and rarely if ever has an answer to a question asked of you. Is this typical of those in Demark, I don't think so, I hope not. I think it must be very hard for you to understand, the small country of Denmark does not represent the views of all of Europe.

Truth is, Obama's grandmother stated early in the campaign he was born in Kenya. She was quickly shut up.

Calling O "untouchable" is wishful thinking.... the man has been exposed as a Marxist and a disaster for America who will surely LOSE in 2012. ACORN can't help him cheat his way into the WH this time around.

Nice try though.
1. Most liberals did not believe 9/11 was a govt plot.

2 Obama's step grandmother never said that, it was an edited transcript of a translation error that the birthers ran with. The full transcript shows she said Hawaii. He released his state certified and official Hawaii birth certificate three years ago. He has also released the long form.

3. Thanks for proving you have NO idea WHATSOEVER what Marxism is....

Just like 1991.

All the "big" democrats - Cuomo, etc. - did'nt think Bush 42 could lose after Desert Storm. So they stood down. A little known Govenor from Arkansas saw an opening because of this and went after the Democratic nomination. Look what happended then....

You can't prove this any more than you can prove all Tea Party Patriots are birthers.

The point is BHO shows himself to be a master liar and a chameleon ... changing his views and sympathies to suit the audience at hand. Sorry, but he is indeed a neo Marxist. Because you have a different definition of Marxism doesn't obscure this fact to thinking individuals.

Again, nice try.

No, defining someone using a false definition based on ignorance does not fool knowledgeable people.

"This guy has done more in 2.5 years than Bush did in 8?" Maybe but not all of it was good! He is overspending more than Bush did.
Little of the spending had anything to do with him. The bailouts were done under Bush. He did push the stimulus plan, but the bulk of the deficits are due to more people being unemployed and using government services. There are also a lot less revenues coming in. Those things happen in a recession.

Contrary to what you neophyte pink commies might think, the President doesn't have direct control over the economy. You could put Warren Buffet in office right now and the country would still be running massive deficits.

Untouchable? Do any older members remember Bush Sr? He had a very high approval rating after Desert Storm, but when taxes went up and the economy slumped, he got owned by Bill Clinton. Obama could very well find himself in the same scenario.

Kind of reminds me of Bush's seniors positio after the gulf war;can't be beat.National pride restored after the vietnam war with a great victory. It will fade long before the npovember eelctions and we will be back on the ecomomy and the deficit. The american attention spna is very short and there is always the news story and old news.

What???? Are you KIDDING? The only thing he did and it was completely unconsitutional was to have Nancy Pelosi RAM THROUGH Obamacare which this country can never in a million years afford.

Our Deficit is at an ALL TIME HIGH. Personal Liberties are at an ALL TIME LOW. He not only did not bring the troops home like he promised but he sent MORE TROOPS abroad; STARTED ANOTHER WAR.

I would agree he has done more to HARM THE COUNTRY in 2.5 years than Bush did in 8.

Let me also state that I voted for a third party in the last election.

Yet we can afford to let those who have to face lifes unfortunate brutality just suffer and die, even if it's not their fault!? Yet we can somehow afford billion dollar oil tax cuts, to oil companies that make billions...? Am I missing something!?

Note that taxes are at an all time low and spending is at an all time high, we all know WAR IS NOT FREE G.W.B!

You can think our lack of liberties to those idiot teabagging conservatives.

I highly doubt anyone has messed this country up like G.W.B did, I'll cut him slack for everything he had to deal with and juggle, but Obama deals with and juggles 10x what Bush did, and do you see him breaking a sweat? Or just letting it run its course? Even if that course just runs us into the ground.

On a side note, it's sad that the republican candidates who could and would actually do something good for this country will never even make it to your favorite news channel.

And on an extra side not, to those of you who say the health care REFORM is unconstitutional, if that's the case so is car insurance and taxes. The government can require you to do something if it's in the best interest of the individual and the country for the most part.
