Barack Hussein Obama is a liar! Somewhere in his life and presidential career he lied!

I'll admit I used to be a big Bush basher. Anymore I'm pretty much convinced both parties are worthless. I'm also convinced that too many people vote from ignorance, too many people from both parties. I honestly can't remember a candidate I really have liked. I liked Obama at first, long before I seen him running for president. I seen him on The Daily Show. I was excited when I heard he was running. I didn't end up voting though. I felt I was too ignorant on the issues. I don't know how most people can't honestly admit they are. I think that's cause the candidates either don't know or admit enough about their issues in the campaign. They never have much more to say about the issues than the propoganda they spout in their campaigns. It's kind of sad

President Obama is an American and is in prime position to lead in a way that GWB could only hope for-- but our President appears to be too much of a people-pleaser to realize the potential of his "would be" effective leadership.

Let me rephrase a little bit in bold letters. Now that sounds better and more likely how it really is.

To his credit, the recession is ending sooner than later. Sure his actions have been criticized, but his actions reflected LEADERSHIP!


Outside of that, I am not sure our President has accomplished much.


The Healthcare Reform could have been his chance to shine as a leader by coming out with a specific plan.


HIS SPECIFIC PLAN WOULD HAVE REFLECTED LEADERSHIP. The LACK of HIS SPECIFIC PLAN DEMONSTRATES A DISAPPOINTING LACK OF LEADERSHIP.


With 2 wars and the threat of a third one looming, healthcare reform in limbo, the lingering national unemployment problem and all other issues that have appeared, our President is not is not showing leadership.



He has recently stated that the Democrats are in trouble, in reference to the 2010 elections.


Well Mr. President, just like for the prior President, if your party is in trouble, it is YOUR fault.

GWB made VERY BAD DECISIONS. In fact, I AM STILL ANGRY about his bad decisions and the deception that he and his cronies fostered.





That being said, YOU, Mr. President are equally as maddening as GWB, but in a different way, as LATELY you seem to be utterly INCAPABLE of making a stand on anything and sticking to it.


AMERICA NEEDS LEADERSHIP!

OUR WORLD NEEDS LEADERSHIP!


BE THE LEADER THAT YOUR CHARISMA, MANNERISMS AND INFLUENCE PROMISES YOU TO BE...

OR GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!



Sadly, I too predict our beloved President to be a one-term President.

If his next three years are anything like the first one, there will simply be no justification for this Republican to cross party lines to vote for him.



I love our President. I support our President. I respect our President and my Commander In Chief. I pray for our President.


I suggest we all pray for him and not hope for his demise, for wherever he fails, America fails.

God bless America!

God bless President Obama.
I respect you JD for being an objective, honest citizen. Too many vote simply party line and do not intentionally educate themselves of the issues and candidates. I supported GWB both elections, primarily based on national defense which I believe was his greatest success. However I was very displeased with the lack of leadership on many fiscal issues and I blame his lack of leadership there for the current leadership of the Congress in Democrat hands. I sent a scathing letter to Ken Mehlman back in 2006 when he was the head of the RNC. I usually vote GOP but not always. I am a conservative Christian first and a registered Republican second.

Anyway I commend you for an honest assessment of the man you voted for for the Oval Office. I too believe we need to hope President Obama does what is right and beneficial for our nation and pray God grants him wisdom and integrity to lead. If he fails, America will speak in Nov 2010 and Nov 2012.
