Given the build up-great orator, one who will unite, change, etc.,- I expected a more statesman-like leader.
The rest of the world thinks he's doing a fine job. He is welcomed by cheering throngs almost everywhere he goes.
I don't remember ever seeing this country as divided and acrimonious. The tone is often set from the top down. His message of unity has dissolved into division.
Eight years is a long time for a nap. You do remember W, don't you?
He acts more like a D-list celebrity on American Idol than he does a respected, dignified President. He disgraces the White House and our former great leaders who behaved as a World Leader should. No wonder the US is fast losing respect not just at home but the world over. He clearly doesn't care that he's ruining the US's reputation. It's bad enough he's trying to turn us in a pansy, socialist, impotent European-like country.
I really miss my old, grand America.
Oh, but the libs say he has restored our respect?
Actually, he is the laughing stock of the World, and he doesn't even realize it.

Thats how he won in the first place, Charisma...simple as that, I have to give him credit, he is a great public speaker and can draw people in. Otherwise, Meh..I'm all about Ron Paul

The US lost the world's "respect" a long time ago, you can list any number of past presidents responsible but the most obvious and recent is george bush, the imbecile that couldn't pronounce half of the words his speech writers wrote.
i suppose whatever obama is doing now is worse than telling the country and the world that (in regards to terrorists) "we're gonna smoke 'em out" and saying if a country is "not with us" then they're with "them" and thus terrorist sympathizers..
or flying a "mission accomplished" banner after the initial invasion of the illegitimate war with iraq, where over 4,000 men and women of the armed forces died because of that piece of garbage's decision to invade iraq.. not to mention the many thousands more iraqi civilians that have died because they wanted to "spread democracy"
yes you're right though anything obama is doing now is worse than what that scumbag did in 8 years to the country and to its reputation around the world.
Typical republican.
Held in the tears during Bush's act of "Country torturing" for 8 years. Now you want to cry & place the blame on Obama.
Wasn't it during the Bush term that this country fell into the financial turmoil & also caused us to have gas prices spiral out of control? FINANCIAL CRISIS TIMELINE
You say you miss old, grand America. I guess you were one of the ones cheering when majority of this country's profit was based mainly on inflation.
I guess now the truth & reality hurts.
The U.S.A. become a third world country as soon as obama took over. that man has no charecter,deserves no respect from american.He wants to bring down this country to the level of the poorest country in the world. that is not where most american want to be. as far as the financial crisis dont you think [THINK] barny frank and chris dod had anything to do with that. both of them are democrats. those two deserve to be water boarded for falling asleep on the job.
