I never thought I would be saying this but I do believe our current President is doing a even worse job at running the country than Bush did.Much like Bush he seems like he is in complete denial and totally oblivious to what is going on in the world.I see many extremely important issues that Obama is ignoring including....

Not holding a press conference or so much issuing a statement over the recent foiled terrorist plot that nearly happened.

Blowing off the high unemployment which is near 10% and in some states 15% and not coming up with any solutions or ideas to fix it.

American dollar sinking like the Titanic and other countries talking about taking off their reserves.

The obvious fact that Iran is preparing for a major war and is in the final stages of preparation.

The economy is still in a mess and he doesn't have any clue how to fix it.


Obama needs to get off this stupid health care debate which nobody seems to care about and get back into some of the serious issues concerning this country before we end up turning into Mexico.


I'm not entirely sure that Obama's goal isn't to worsen the problems we are facing. Printing money in a time of recession and inflation. Offending one ally after the next. Cap and Trade. Socialized Medicine. Social Security cuts. Tattle tale websites. Demonizing anyone who disagrees with his policies. Cash for clunkers. It's just one really bad idea after another.


Considering the the money printing was to help the recession which came from the Bush administration. He has not offended any allies to this point. I guess the accuracy of the information needs to be addressed here.

Obama doesn't demonize anyone. He is trying like hell to bring the parties together on issues. When he doesn't have to, with the majority he has.

I keep saying he needs to just bulldoze the stuff into effect that he wants but he is too good to do it.

That's inteligent push more through that no one has read.
Then why doesn't he do it? He can't it's congress that can and to many people are against it and poloticians don't want to loose in the 2010 elections so it wont go to a vote before then.

Dow Jones?

Can we look to the very last month of the Presidency for some reality check about how good their economic plan was for the country?

On December 1st, 2008, the Dow closed at 8,149. Just a few months ago, unemployment here in Detroit, Michigan hit 21% (same Bureau of Labor statistics...)

The 14,000 Dow Jones mark was most likely a couple months into the Bush administration (while he was flying the country's tax dollars to some (cough-cough) well deserved vacation time...again...), right after Clinton allowed the country to scream its way through Y2K and ultra-everything buying. People bought everything from spaghetti to electric generators... and old Wild Bill gloated and claimed it was his genius that boosted the American economy... NOT.

In my lifetime, I don't think we have ever had a true LEADER in the White House.

"We the People..." don't mean anything to those in Congress anymore... the day after election day. We are simply an enslaved people to the tax burden of the bourgeoise elitists in charge.

How many more Harvard and Yale graduates shall we see in Congress and on Capitol Hill before we figure out the ultra-rich are in charge (both Republicans AND Democrats)... and we are but mice in a field of nuclear weapons and "smart" bombs.

Forget the revolution... if they ever point the weapons they have at us, none will survive.

Meanwhile, I'll keep stockpiling ammo when I can get it... and keep buying those USGS Topo maps of the back country.

America, as with all forms of man-made government, will eventually pass away.

We may even see it happen in our lifetime.

He doesn't because he ran on the premise of bringing the division of this country together. He has the backing in congress to do the things he wants to do.

He is too good to do it. I know if I were him I would be so damn tired of the out and out lies and misinformation being slung around for no other reason than to be hateful.

Considering the the money printing was to help the recession which came from the Bush administration.


Printing money makes existing money worth less. It can't help a recession, I'm not sure where you got that idea. What the Obama administration did was lower the value of the dollar, which has cause much of the world to consider leaving the dollar standard, which will be devastating to our economy.


He has not offended any allies to this point.


1. Toys from the White house gift show were given to Prime minister Brown's children.
2. Prime minister Brown was given a DVD boxed set of movies in NTSC when he needs PAL to watch them.
3. The Queen was given an iPod filled with Obama speeches as a gift.
4. Obama didn't invite the Queen to the D-Day memorial in France.
5. Obama made a deal with a Bermuda to take several terrorists. This deal was made behind the UKs back, but they are in charge of protecting Bermuda. China warned of violence if any country accepted the Uighurs.
6. Obama canceled the planned missile shield for Poland on the 70th anniversary of the USSR's invasion of Poland.
7. Obama told the Israelis to stop building homes in their own land and that they should divide Jerusalem up and give some of it to Arabs.
8. Obama's Administration printed more money, pushed for socialized medicine, cap and trade, bailouts, Stimulus even though the world at large begged us not to. (they are on the dollar standard too. Us printing money is actually us stealing money from them)

Oh, I'm sure there more more incidents, but it's late.


I guess the accuracy of the information needs to be addressed here.


No offense, but it would help if you would keep up with current events.


Obama doesn't demonize anyone. He is trying like hell to bring the parties together on issues. When he doesn't have to, with the majority he has.

I keep saying he needs to just bulldoze the stuff into effect that he wants but he is too good to do it.


He said that a cop doing his job acted "stupidly".

He said "I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence", Dr Tiller's killer was mentally ill. Demonizing pro-lifers.

Obama said "You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid’s tonsils out." demonizing doctors and accusing them of performing unnecessary amputations.

Obama said "If there’s a blue pill and a red pill and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half the price for the thing that’s going to make you well?" again demonizing doctors by suggesting that either a) they are stupid or b) they are working for the pharmaceutical companies.

I wouldn't say the "Doom Daily" would be my choice for quote-able credible news agencies... sort of like quoting the Urban Legends found in our e-mail Inboxes... XP

... looks more like a one-sided conspiracy theorist venture to me. Basically a "news joke" Internet web site. Sort of like "The Onion" except the Doomers seem to be taking this stuff way to serious.

When quoting references, consider what would qualify for a college research paper.

Doom Daily would NOT be it...

...and unless you are too ******** to realize... the hyperlink you provided is to an editorial... NOT a news story...

...YIKES !!!!

What an insult to my intelligence. I feel like my brain has been prodded by a hungry hyena.

Thanks for the "before bed" laugh. The bottom part are entirely quotes from Obama saying negative thing about people, in one case accusing doctors of malpractice, in another accusing them of sadism and then accusing those who support lower taxes of being terrorists.

Problem is... I could make of list of bad Communist-like qualities for every President for the last 30+ years, both Republican and Democrat...

... the truth is... we have NO leadership in Congress or anywhere else on Capitol Hill... they are all corrupt, and the country is sliding fast down into an un-returnable extinction.

BOTH parties are eltist ultra-rich snobs, and no one that reaches that power level has any way to be "in touch" with their constituencies... the squeaky wheel gets the oil these days, and it is the lobbyists with millions to squeak with that get heard well in advance of "We the People"...

Vote for me, I would be a hell of a lot better President then any of them...

No matter his thoughts, what he thinks is right, it's going to go the way "they" want it too. They being the government. America doesn't need a president anymore, the government took over that job years ago. Say Kennedy?

We survived Bush. The way this presidency is going, it looks like we are going to be a part of a socialistic muslim radical society within the next 4 years. He closed Quantanimo, released terrorists,appologized to arabic countries, negotiated with terrorists, and flew a plane over NYC so his daughter could take pictures. Oh, and he also took back everything he said during his campaign, and did the opposite. I'm a soldier, and I can honestly say, I felt better serving this country under Bush.



No truer words spoken! And thanks for your service to our country!
