There's nothing wrong with the world, but your way of looking at it is seriously dysfunctional.

Yes. Bush's daughters were very cute, and his wife was a nice looking woman.

Because at the heart of of conservative is to "conserve" "preserve" "maintain the status quo". I'm conservative on some issues, so I think in some ways we were better off in the past.

I don't like Obama because he hasn't done anything for this country. Maybe killing terrorists and funding for job creation, paid by tax payers. We still have millions unemployed and hasn't done anything to our country's debt problem.

I dont hate Obama, and in general I dont like politicians. Today, every presidential candidate is pretty much filled with bull**** about what they're going to do when they're elected. The US has become so big it is impossible to fix all of its problems. I was out of the country for the elections but i would have voted for him since he seemed to have some good solutions. For the first part of his term he was a breath of fresh air from bush, but now he's not making as many good decisions and getting things done. He's definitely not a bad president though, a hell of a lot better than Mcain and Palin would've been. During the race he kept promising change, and he hasnt made all of it happen but the presidential race is so damn competitive everyone's going to do some **** to make you vote for them. He's the best president we've had in a long time, and the only candidates i would consider trading him for of the GOP would be huntsman or Paul. I think obama could learn from his mistakes and be a better president next term, but id also like to see what Ron Paul would do, he seems more of an activist, but again, pre-nominated candidates are usually pretty deceiving....

I like huntsman, but i dont think he could get elected. I think Obama is better than all the GOP except for maybe Ron Paul, though he has a better head and is more attractive as a person. So i dont hate Obama, and if he gets re-elected and gets re-organized, i think he would be a better president.

As far as Obama , He is a racial divider, a party divider and a class divider.Obama put his agenda first instead of the economy. He didn't solve anything so he is not the brain that so many thought he would be.. Foreclosures are continuing . Then as if we have no debt, Obama pushes through a bill with his arrogance and strong arm politics to get Obamacare passed and he didn't even know what was in it. No one knew what was in it.. how stupid is that!!

We had a degrading of our financial status from AAA. Obama never addresses our huge debt. He is too busy fund raising .. that is his most important thing on his agenda.. not the economy, not unemployment, not the foreclosures.. He blew it!!

Obama never went in and did a thing for the first few years other than cash for clunkers... how was that going to help?? Even the senators were getting a new car from the cash for clunkers deal and stated so... a big giveaway and a bigger debt.

I have seen stupid and this is even more stupid.. how this guy runs the country is like a man who hires clowns spending our money on garbage programs that waste .. while he plays golf and flies around in airforce one and gives 35,000 dollar a plate dinners to his elite crowd and cries that the Republicans are for the rich.. the rich are for Obama.. wake up and see Obama loves to spend our money and give us the bill... and the class war fare and race card is getting me sick of it.. it doesn't make me like the blacks when msnbc keeps putting blacks on to whine about what they don't have all the time.. as if every white person is rich..I have seen alot of poor in all colors!! give me a break!!!!!!! Some blacks think nothing of calling a poor white person, white trash or hillbilly or red neck as Obama called the people of Pennsyvania , ones who clings to their guns and religion and jobs for fear an illegal with take their job.. ---well the illegals do , and thanks to Obama!!! Who sues the states such as Arizona to enforce the laws against illegals.. I see a lot of wrong with this president and the racial divide is huge since Obama got in. He said he would bring people together.. ha!! Obama never tried to work with the republicans on anything!! He divides us by race,class, and party! Obama will destroy us and he pushes his socialist agenda and many Americans don't even know what communism is.

I agree with Taratova......
But, I also wondered why he took off after Inauguration to Chicago for two weeks. He was caught saying that on a video on Airforce One.

I was also very surprised that he didn't spend his first Christmas at the White House. He was also in Chicago.
I wonder of being President, and awaking on Christmas morning at the White House, would to me be so heartwarming. The history of it all. The beauty in the decorations......The country waiting for your
lights to turn on, on Christmas morning.
All so warm and inviting.
But, he took off........as if it just didn't mean a thing. It always makes me wonder........
