But he continues to support both taht he said he would get out of6 Months and he has left a increqasing successful iraq war satrt to go worse and he has expanded the most difficult i afganistan. Other than that he has spent the second half of TARP same as Bush did withoutt eh polanned houisng crisi being addressed. Stil not eve a plan witht eh money spent. He has set alot of goal but nothign else. He has paln a buget wish like all presidents is a wish list.He has spent 758 billion on a stimulus that has little stimulus bot rewrds for specail interest grops with litle for real jobs investment. Green jobs in any real qaunilyt are decades offf because they can't tuen a profit on their own.He ask asked the saudi to promise not to stop drilling while being against drillingher;so we will be buying saudi oil and keep donating cash tot ehm inwhellbarrow loads.He has no plan but a gaol for nationa;l heathcare but no money to fund it unless he raises taxes and fees which will filter down.He has spent over 100 billion in rescuihng the big three to payback the Unions for support as seen by teh chrysler deal and in the deal losss all faith i a priavte/governamnt partnership for the toxci assets . It was already in trouble from the chnging of the terms of the bank loans after the fact.Basically no priavte meny will want to get mixed in with government unless the deal is so sweet and guaranteed. basically he gavce nothing to the middle calss in the stimulus other than a cut in payroll that many will have to payback at the end of years;fi they haven't spent it all.Heck of a mess is what I see.

These are the 2 main ones that come to mind for me.

Obama admin takes first leap into roadless brawl - NYTimes.com

Obama Overturns 'Mexico City Policy' Implemented by Reagan - ABC News

I forgot this http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog_post/AWonderfulDay/

And this http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124186580127503661.html
Oh, & I agree w/trying for diplomacy...how naive of me.

not really. the president really has no power over my life. the crappy governor of my state is more of a concern.

I am just curious to see how much his supporters are liking him. I don't have a problem with those who like him. I liked obama better than mccain myself. but that isn't saying much.

Right. And this is why I won't take you seriously. You start a thread that from the onset is innocent enough, and then you reply negatively to other posters opinions. Yeah, maybe you can either A. not start threads that ask for other posters opinions but then make fun of them when they reply or B. just refrain from starting threads unless you want specific posters to answer. Simple as that.
