Obama acts like a 16yr old

What is more embarrassing is he hasn't a clue that he is WAY out of sync with the American people and with basic normalcy. Really sad in a way. I think he lives in a state of perpetual confusion.

Bush isnt President anymore.
deal with it. Obama is.
Bush acted with way more class than Obama has. Obama is an embarassment and a disgrace. He is without a doubt the biggest mistake the American voters have ever made.
We're about to deal with it.

Sad sad sad.
He gets up on his podium and makes one juvenile comment after another.
Bashing, degrading, making fun of-just like a little kid would do towards
another that he 'didn't like'.
Unbelievable.
And to tell you the truth, I feel embarrassed 'for' him.

Watching the news and they just showed a blurb of his recent speech this weekend, here he is:
"THEY TALK ABOUT ME LIKE A DOG!"

I'm sure your right-winger talk show radio hosts / soon-to-be-elected politicians are much less degrading of the people they "don't like".

Obama has several factors occurring.
1) A HUGE recession that he inherited. Sorry, but the truth of the matter is that the problems we see today are a result of the laissez faire regulations under the Bush admin. Even if we had a Republican in office, we would see high unemployment rates. We would see government spending (since recessions are prolonged by a lack of spending). This isn't his fault.

2) A congress that is consistently blocked by filibuster after filibuster. The Republicans in office are playing politics. They even oppose their own suggestions once Democrats agree (the healthcare mandate and cap and trade are two glaring examples). Those were proposed by Republicans. Once agreed upon by Democrats, the Republicans did a 180. I don't agree with those policies, but to place the blame squarely on Democrats is being ignorant of the history of those policies.

3) There is a weird culture war in our nation. The extreme right is paranoid of Muslims. They're paranoid to such an extent that they believe that Obama is a Muslim trying to turn America into an Islamic Republic. It's absurd. The attacks on Obama are more vitriolic in nature than the attacks on Bush. You've not seen nearly as many protests during Bush as we do under Obama. There is a large political movement motivated by a nostalgic and false notion of what it means to be American. This is energizing the right's base. Unfortunately, moderates are not feeling the love of the Republican party.

Obama is being put through the ringer on issues that he didn't cause. He has been blamed for things that he has no control over. It's sad when a nation is so polarized and so lacking of short term historical perspective.

Not only does he act like a 16 year old, but he also likes 16 year old jailbait. The guy has no shame.
