The healthcare bill has left alot of people pissed because of it's size and things like Pelosi saying we'll know whats in it after we pass it, a key thing that Obama said the US would be able to read it for 5 days on the Internet before they past a bill and that bills would pass on their own merits, we didn't get that either.
Then there is the crap with Fox news, Obama did his best to censor them. They are the number one news agency and Obama didn't want them around. Working in this industry, I have no room for censorship!
People had a lot of hope in him, with all his promises, the first black president, but he blew that with the beer summit and the way he treated Netanyahu showed me that Muslims come first. That made it look to the rest of the world that the US didn't have there back and problems started, now he's back peddling on that, that scares me because you know that they will be the ones that strike against Iran with Nukes!

Then there's the Nobel peace prize, wtf was that about?



Then there is the bank overhaul that just past
Did you know that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are exempt?
Yep, just read about the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae stuff. The whole wall street reform bill looks like a scam. He had such a wave of good feelings behind him and such a high approval rating when he went into office he should have used that to attack the problems in the economy and get things fixed. But instead he went off into a million directions. It was almost like he and the democrats knew that this was their chance to pass a lot of the pet projects that they had been wanting for the last 20 years so they quickly got them through while they controlled everything and then decided they might want to do something about the economy.
