Killa P sums up about how I feel about Obama's performance so far in a nutshell, (tried to rep, but couldn't).....Obama needs to wake the hell up and start to pay attention more to the people who loved and elected him, progressives.....
as opposed to trying to play middle man and even please those that hate him, no matter what he does, since he's a democrat......the hard and far right.

I key in on the rush to judgement because this passive weakness seems to be Obama's calling card

I thought that as well. I was watching O'Reilly (sp) last night and he made a big deal out of the other major networks not covering the Sherrod story but never once (not while I was watching) did he acknowledge the tape was edited, even though the male guest on his show said it several times. I thought that was the first rule of journalism: verify your facts before you publish them. It's kinda scary that the media can just run a story without finding out if it's true or not; especially a story that impacts lives of others.

Why does he work so hard to knee jerk and try to appease a demographic of people who no matter what are not going to vote for him.

The most racist thing going on now is Obama's disservice to the intelligence of white people. They are not all so stupid as to not understand context they are not so stupid as he should step and fetch like he does. Those who dont like him for his race are never going to change and he is losing the respect of those who are open minded.

So Afraid of being painted a particular way by the right that he is weak and ineffective as a leader.

His example is not one I would ever want my children to follow. Be a man say what you mean and mean what you say.

That woman needs to be compensated immediatley.
This is one of the things I hate about him. He's so eager to please everybody that he ends up pissing off everybody. I keep hoping at some point he'll stand his ground and get a little Samuel L Jackson in him

Now darn you, you failed to see my thread about Beck doing what you want done last night. Maybe you better watch the Beck show , at least once to see what is going on.

It was one year ago tomorrow that The One stood up there and said that that police department had screwed up arresting one of his good friends. The Beer Summit followed.

Did the owners of the whole video offer it up to anyone until that clip was played and used by, supposedly Tom Vilsack, to fire the woman? Nope, I think the NAACP held on to it too long and then they caused the real problem.

Has he backed off on Obamacare, Stimulus, buyouts or any of his other big deals? I wish he would because I want to see if Obamacare is constitutiional.

Third time. He fired the general in Afghanistan based on a magazine article.
