It's very interesting to witness the illogical, unreasonableness of it all.

Barack Obama has never once sided with "RADICAL MUSLIMS". He's about to increase the number of troops fighting AGAINST "radical muslims" in Afghanistan and yet you've convinced yourself of this conspiracy. It's really time you step away and try to discern reality from this flawed perception of reality you've invented.

I have wanted desperatly to find common ground with BO. I thought Afghanistan was the one issue we agreed on.

then he blatantly disrespects the General he picked to run that war, and waits to agree to the troop surge until after the elections here in America so as not to anger his base.

His playing politics with this war really makes me angry and now i trust him about as far as I can toss a cow....

at best he is a knuclehead that ought to be organizing street protests. At worst he is a subversive seeking the distruction of the America we have now so it can be rebuilt into the marxist image he and his ilk desire.

I wish utter failure on him. His failure is Americas only salvation.

I'm curious Mike how do you see Obama? Do you think he is doing a good job for America? If so, how?

I have heard quite a few of late say they think the election was rigged. That there is no way an unknown man was elected to be the President of the USA.

Who one gets advice from and what they believe goes a long way to showing their character.

A man is know by the company he keeps.

He keeps company with those that despise capitalism and espouse radical left wing agenda's. As the saying goes follow the money. Who's money supports the agenda of this Presidency? George Soros for one. Go research what he believes. Look into the statements of his Cabinet members. One said he is a communist. One said Mao was a favorite. One stated that capitalism needs to be dismantled brick by brick. Obama himself said that wealth needs to be spread.....by taxation.

The MSM refuses to look into any of this much less report on it objectively.

Go read Saul Alinsky, a hero to these folks. Look into what Claward-Piven devised as a strategy to bring the this Country to it's knees.

Then you come back a declare how great Obama is.

Stating how bad Bush/Chaney were is no argument to protect what is going on right now!

Your exactly right! If folks would open their eyes to the Czars he is appointing, because they couldn't pass being elected, they would see the real O.

I do not trust him at all...(enough said)

Not only could they not pass being elected, they couldn't get confirmed by Congress, which is why he appoints them to special created positions: czars.

Esther, that is just loonacy. BO may be a first rate idiot commie freak, but he was elected by the American voter. No funny business.

the dems only had to find a warm body. They actually did exactly that. an unqualified warm body.

but that is all they needed to do. This election was over 3 years ago.

I'm still on the fence to be honest. Looking back over the past year, I will say it's gone about how I thought the first year would go. He's made his share of first year blunders both with appointments and with some of the decisions he's made.

The financial bailout of banks was a must when GWB and it was necessary when the Obama continued it. On September 15, 2008 $550 billion left the money markets in two hours. Our modern economic system would have been bankrupt by 5 p.m. that day and the world economy by 5 p.m. the next day.

From a crisis that severe, the Obama administration, rightly IMO, decided one tool was to pass the Stimulus plan early in 2009. The parts of it that were quick starters in communities across the country(school updates, ect...) I agree with. It boosted local economies and helped small businesses. I didn't support the infastructure portions that will be 2 or 3 years affecting the economy(roads, bridges).

On foreign policy, he made the exactly right and LONG overdue decision to withdraw troops from Iraq this upcoming Summer. I also agree with him that Guantanamo Bay is a blight on this nation's record and it's time to bring those incarcerated to justice. America doesn't deny people(even terrorists) a lawyer, trial and verdict. The Bush administration bungled it, the crimes weren't investigated throughly and now it's a debacle.

On the subject of Afghanistan, I appreciate BO's attempt to be thorough and not repeat the mistakes of his predecessor, but it's time for a decision. The President has to make sound decisions in a timely manner. That decision is beginnig to wear on to long. I think it's a mistake to allow it to play on much longer.

On healthcare, the jury is still out. Let's get a final bill and then I'll have an opinion. I don't have a major issue with a public option and have no issue with privately owned Co-ops. It's time that insurance companies are made to insure pre-existing conditions and not ration care. I think the Senate will pull out some of the more controversial parts( like abortion coverage) and I think we'll get a bill around the first of the year that will improve the broken healthcare system in this country.

l I will say that inaction is intolerable and that's exactly what Republican administrations and Congress's had brought for the past 30 years on the subject of healthcare. Nothing. They showed no leadership and are now in the process of being lead.

I'd say given the volatility and amount of trouble he's had on his plate this first year, he's done a passing job.
