Considering that the Elephants created this mess we are in.
I think Obama is doing an average job!
1. Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction
2. Clinton had a surplus- key word had a surplus before the Shrub, I mean Bush became Pres.
3.More hypocrits are coming out of the closet. (Sandford, Mark Foley, Larry Craig and probably more will be announced soon.)
4. Went into Iraq without an exit strategy. (Over 4000 U. S men and women killed for nothing!)
5. Started this Stimulus before Obama.
6. Allowed the Banks to continue to do the very thing that created our financial promblems.
7. China continues to own America's debt. (Guess who started that?)
8. Tax breaks for the rich. ( Never understood that one. )
9. Allowing the dollar to lose it's strength.
10. Pandering to Big Oil ( Guess who owned a huge stake on Oil?)
I have more, but I'm going to wait it out!
I disagree with Obama's spending.
So I'll give him a C - and I'll give the Republican Party an F.

Oh great, Europeans like us more now!! Great...The startling proposed tax increases, expanded government bureaucracy, and generations of public debt will be worth it for a little less anti-Americanism in the parlors of Paris!
Our differences from the Europeans are exactly why the U.S. is became by far the strongest economy on earth.
I give him a C+
No one can accuse me of being an Obama fanboy but come on give him a chance he didn't inherit utopia.
But come on I have a feeling that if it was McCain in office and did everything Obama did some of you would be whistling a different tune, that goes to both Obama lovers and haters.
I would have to say that he is a failure so far. Everything that the lefties say Bush failed at, Obama has made worse. We are headed for rampant recession, hyper-inflation and the stimulus bill is anything but stimulating. He has made our country weaker both fiscally and by apologizing and cow-towing to foreign governments. I love how some folks think it will take years to clean up the Bush mess, what about the Obama mess? It will take generations upon generations to clear this red tape and pork up.
My only hope is that future administrations realize "Here is what not to do" when taking over. Then again, they did not learn from the Carter disaster obviously.
Amazing.
No facts at all.
But lots of predictions.
I just hope that everyone on here who is horrified by what is going on in Washington actually DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT instead of just blowing off steam here. Remember, it is not just Obama who is playing with your future, it is the liberals in Washington who actually write and pass the bills into law. If you don't get involved actively and make the "change" that we all can believe in during the upcoming elections, then all of your complaints will mean nothing. It is time to act and let your voice be heard loud and clear !!
You are right - Bush left one horrendous mess - if you read about his life - it's a recurring theme with the man...
And you are right - no matter who took office - the economic near-depression he left us with would be playing out for over a year no matter who was in the Oval Office.
I think he's doing a good job - and that it will take time for his policies to turn things around...
In the meantime - expect a lot of negative posts from the Obama Haters - the Ditto Heads of the world...
Good thing is the country has come to ignore them and the GOP - they've witnessed first hand what a mess their ilk has left this country in - and I doubt they will trust them for another generation to lead this nation...
Obama will get us back on the road to recovery - but it will take time - 2 years in my opinion...
His premise, as I understood it, was this hopenchange was immediate, not two freaking years down the road. The hate continues...
