Things That Bother Me About President Obama
Here is a list of things that bother me about President Obama. Can you add to the list?
1) Refusing to wear the Flag Pin
2) Refusing to honor the flag as others in the photo were doing
3) Not recognizing Christmas at the White House
4) Saying America is no longer a Christian Nation
5) Bowing to other foreign leaders
6) Refusing to participate in a prayer day that has gone on for years
7) Failing to keep his words on so many things
8) Refusing to present his birth certificate
9) Failing to listen to the voice of America and cramming a Health Bill down the throats of a majority of Americans that don't want it
10) Apologizing to foreign countries for America's actions
11) Jokes about the disabled on the Jay Leno show

1) Refusing to wear the Flag Pin Most pics/vids I've seen of the President show him wearing the pin
2) Refusing to honor the flag as others in the photo were doing One would expect the President, or person running for the office to do so.
3) Not recognizing Christmas at the White House This doesn't bother me. If this was done, then he'd have to honor Hannukah, Kwanzaa and other religious/secular holidays. The office of the President is not a religious office.
4) Saying America is no longer a Christian Nation He's right, America isn't a Christian nation. Sure, we were founded on certain principles, but we've long since left being a "Christian" nation.
5) Bowing to other foreign leaders I think he has a bad back or something
6) Refusing to participate in a prayer day that has gone on for years I was disappointed, but again, the office isn't a religious one so I'm not too bothered by it.
7) Failing to keep his words on so many things He's a politician - they're liars, doesn't matter the party.
8) Refusing to present his birth certificate Non-issue
9) Failing to listen to the voice of America and cramming a Health Bill down the throats of a majority of Americans that don't want it Unfortunately, certain polls do show a divided nation on this issue. There are millions who DO want this gov't entitlement, who believe it's an American "right."
10) Apologizing to foreign countries for America's actions I agree with this
11) Jokes about the disabled on the Jay Leno show To be fair, who hasn't in some way made a comment or joke like that. I'll be honest and say I've said things similar to BHO's comment, therefore I can't criticize him for a bad joke
|
12) picking a stupid fight with and trying to alienate an ally - Israel
13) not answering basic questions, instead relying on talking points
14) authorizing and making sleazy closed-door deals to get votes for healthcare
15) authorizing and advocating more spending in his short term in office than W did his entire two terms

Here is a list of things that bother me about President Obama. Can you add to the list?
1) Refusing to wear the Flag Pin Most pics/vids I've seen of the President show him wearing the pin ...... When the criticism got heavy he put it back on.
2) Refusing to honor the flag as others in the photo were doing One would expect the President, or person running for the office to do so.
3) Not recognizing Christmas at the White House This doesn't bother me. If this was done, then he'd have to honor Hannukah, Kwanzaa and other religious/secular holidays. The office of the President is not a religious office. ..... All previous President honored Christmas without having to do the other things you listed????
4) Saying America is no longer a Christian Nation He's right, America isn't a Christian nation. Sure, we were founded on certain principles, but we've long since left being a "Christian" nation. ...... Why do you suppose he thought it his place to make this announcement.. to gain favor with the Muslim?
5) Bowing to other foreign leaders I think he has a bad back or something
6) Refusing to participate in a prayer day that has gone on for years I was disappointed, but again, the office isn't a religious one so I'm not too bothered by it..... Again, why does he have to change it seems everything that has to do with religion and God?
7) Failing to keep his words on so many things He's a politician - they're liars, doesn't matter the party. ..... I totally agree with your statement but am appalled at the complacency of America to accept lying as normal!
8) Refusing to present his birth certificate Non-issue ..... Why not? Other candidates revealed this information, along with their college records and medical records when ask! Why is Obama given a pass?
9) Failing to listen to the voice of America and cramming a Health Bill down the throats of a majority of Americans that don't want it Unfortunately, certain polls do show a divided nation on this issue. There are millions who DO want this gov't entitlement, who believe it's an American "right." .... It may be divided but the polls show that the majority is against the taking over of America's health system and also loans for college (which has been tucked into the health bill ...why???)
10) Apologizing to foreign countries for America's actions I agree with this
11) Jokes about the disabled on the Jay Leno show To be fair, who hasn't in some way made a comment or joke like that. I'll be honest and say I've said things similar to BHO's comment, therefore I can't criticize him for a bad joke .....But he's the President of The United States!!!! I guess we just give him a pass! Bush wasn't given passes! He was called to task for everything he said and even things he didn't say.
n david's list....
12) picking a stupid fight with and trying to alienate an ally - Israel Agreed!!!
13) not answering basic questions, instead relying on talking points ... .....AGREED..AGREED!
14) authorizing and making sleazy closed-door deals to get votes for healthcare... YES, YES, YES! After saying he and his administration would be so transparent!!!
15) authorizing and advocating more spending in his short term in office than W did his entire two terms ...... He's spending America into oblivion!!! His actions come no where close to "basic good economics!" If they're not stopped America has had it!

Oh, he's black? I would have sworn that I heard that his mother was white and his daddy was black. Now I guess we could flip a coin to see whether he's black or white.
I don't care what color his skin is. I'm concerned about what's inside that skin. And I have come to the conclusion, (without the help of the mainstream media,) that he is an immoral, dishonest, conniving, lying individual that cannot be trusted.
He says what ever he wants to say whether it's the truth or not. I hope that America will wake up and put him out of office after only 1 term.

Isn't he as much white as he is black? Isn't one parent white and the other black? Is he considered black because of his African birth or so he can claim minority status?

Re: Things That Bother Me About President Obama
Someone has said that the goal of BHO and his socialist gang is to bring the United States to the place where we have:
the economy of Zimbabwe,
the freedom of the press of China,
the crime and violence of Mexico,
the tolerance for Christian people of Iran,
the freedom of speech of Venezuela.

Of course, you being the intelligent man that you are, simply reject this dribble as pure ignorance, right?
