Are you happy with President Obama?
 

I didn't vote for him so my expectations were low and so far he hasn't disappointed..

What you prefer Bush? :1orglaugh

I see that you are from Canada,so you might not realize that President Bush served 8 years and was not in the last election.

Obama is a tyrant.

hes a puppet

minte, i am disappointed in your choice of thread topics.

Tired of car threads.. And it was a question to the board. I recall last fall that Obama fever ran high here on GFY and now that it's been nearly a year it's time to really begin to evaluate the man. Has he delivered?

He seems like a cool cat,although I'm in Canada and our Prime minister is a clown

Not happy, he talks in circles and makes everything sound so great. He keeps saying the recession is over...not sure what the fuck country he is living in?

Well duh, sad too as he did a bang up job huh :uhoh
And McCain would have been almost as good :1orglaugh

OK ill give you that Obama has been tame, rather that then a destroyer of worlds wouldn?t you say.....lets see what the future brings though shall we.

And btw, the average Canadian knows more about US politics then US citizens

Not even close....anyone will say that so far he has more or less only disapointed :2 cents:

It is the future. It's been a year.
He has done things,he has tried to do things. Are those things what people expected? Are the people that voted for him still enthused about him?

is it snowing in wisconsin? you must be bored. why not go for a drive in one of your supercars? or maybe hop in your airplane and go for a nice cruise. or give away packers season tickets for the next game to a nice soul. you could even buy a new piece of art, have the garage remodeled.

or perhaps call your partners across the pacific and talk shop, maybe even fire a VP or buy one a corvette and come here and tell us about any of the above

but threads like this are for the gfy sohpmores, of which you are not.

either way, i still like ya.

he put my kids that are not born yet in dept, and a national health care system will never work in this country unless it is slowly put in place. People see free healthcare and they will bleed the system for every last penny. :2 cents:

As usual middle class = screwed in America

1 year is nothing at all with what has to battle with "you know that Minte" :)

But as i said i doubt anyone anywhere have their ponpons out anymore.
People thought he would be aggressive and well he has shown the opposite....

The biggest thing the guy has done was get elected, its stopped people and made them think.....

At the end of the day though its politics, puppets, mayority rule from within, curroption etc etc

We know you are all worried about it :)
While the rest of the modern world is having a glass of wine not thinking or worrying about it as they made the move decades ago.....

I voted for him, and I supported his campaign. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I'm not happy about how he's handled a few things so far, but compared to the asswipes that were at the helm for the past 8 years, he's a breath of fresh air!

your kids were already in debt and the middle class was destoyed a long time ago, certainly you can figure that out on your own.

jesus, thanks minte for giving guys like this a thread to voice their ignorance and bias.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

seriously i don't like his administration.

What did they repeat over and over with Bush??

Oh ya "Mission Accomplished!!!" :winkwink:

http://www.ObamaIsGay.com/missionaccomplished.jpg

the longer a president stays in office the slower he got things done thus the more time he needed to get them done.

Even if Obama does NOTHING he's going to be better than the retard we had for the last 8 years.

yeah, mission accomplished wasting billions of dollars and american lives..

i voted for obama, first time since i voted for ross perot.. last time i will ever vote...

the govt is so corrupt now as a whole it doesnt matter republican or democrat..

mark my words, you aint seen nothin yet..

and for the last time.. national healthcare is about funding a bankrupt medicare and medicaid system, it has nothing to do with providing health care to everyone..

i wish the govt would just come out and say it..

I expected him to be a disaster but I could not have imagined how frighteningly incompetent he has turned out to be. An unmitigated catastrophe. :disgust

Considering the choice we had. I am very happy to have him as President.

totally true. it stopped being about republicans and demos a long time ago.

i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed and even i can see that.

sorry, if you don't understand the significance of the difference between a 1 and 9 trillion dollar deficit, you shouldn't be commenting on who Jesus is thanking.

yawn. same old recording.

He hasn't let an attack happen on US soil that's killed around 3000 people yet. He's kept us safer than Bush and Cheney. :upsidedow

He's made steps to do things he promised in the election. He's reevaluated some of his older positions, he's opened up diplomatic channels where none or small ones existed before. Change takes time and he's careful and well reasoned about what he does and why.

Me and most people I know are still very enthusiastic about him and what he has already and intends to accomplish in the future. Despite what Limbaugh would have you believe no one thought he would wave a magic change wand and everything would be different overnight. I'm very confident in his approach to things and his ability to learn from history and his predecessors' mistakes.

It'll be a while till he can dig us out from the shitstorm he was left with, but he's off to a good start. One of the ways you can gauge his efficacy is by the irrational venom the fringe right wing(mainstream america according to fox news) spews at him for every tiny thing he does.

It's a shock, isn't it?

Worthless.... The only dam thing he has done is pacify the pussies in europe and uber left and create a hollywood image of america abroad. But just like most hollywood stars they are worthless when it comes to reality.

The world wants everyone to come together and work on issues together but when it comes to actually doing something they don't do shit.

crazy talk

indeed. you'd think someone who thinks so highly of himself could come up with some new material to rabble the less than's, but nooooooooooooo, same ole same ole.

He hasn't had new material in at least the past 10 years. I see no reason for him to change now.

yeah, i overlooked that with my hopeful enthusiasm that he'd have something original by now.

sad, really.

Tough dodging the truth, eh monkey?

Truth is in the eye of the beholder.

You know what. I really am :)

Why do rabble like yourself think they deserve something new?
I've been watching your kind come home from the day job and expose their lack of knowledge about the world around them for 12yrs now.
Your kind doesn't change, why should I?:1orglaugh

oh noes, 12 clicks called me a monkey. come on, you have GOT to have some new material, right? holding back for the big internet kill?

The intelligent behold how much worse off we are with a 9 trillion dollar debt than a debt under 1 trillion. The rabble railed at bush for his 1 trillion but applaud obama's 9.
Idiocy

i get it now. you are playing a game of chess, enjoying a glass of penfolds and a cohiba whilst you toy with me, only to dazzle all the lurkers with a *checkmate*

i hope that's the case because anything less will reveal you to be washed-up and persona non grata.

I hate to break this to you, but the REAL truth is... OBAMA WON! Now it's your turn to be pissed off for 4 to 8 years. Get used to it :winkwink:

I was not an Obama fanatic, just given the choices he is whom I backed.
I have my issues with him and some things he either has not done or has not started yet.

I am not an Obama basher like many who hated him before he was even a contender and were already going to hate anyone on that side who won either way. Plus everything that Obama in this instance inherited would of course be his issue, his fault, etc. This includes clean up costs.

I do see that he does take his time when he can on many issues and does not rush in to tackle many of the short fuse issues who's time is just not ready yet for where he is at. So I get why he is not hitting a few of the smaller issues, they would go crazy and consume his time as president if he touched them right now.

He also seems to like to get as much information and research as possible before doing anything drastic such as putting troops into harms way. I am also OK with a president who can and does change their minds. One that does not change their minds scare me.

He tried to rush health care and that backfired like it should have. He already knows slow and steady wins the race. He was just amped and listened to the wrong people about hitting while the proverbial iron was hot - was the wrong info.

The money spent does not super bother me. Well I am a little bitchy about the corporate welfare that he had to finish or at least add to.

Just looking at his list of shit to deal with, not even including any future shit and holy fuck. Who in their right mind would even want to tackle that as a job? Then if they did, does anyone really think they could handle it all and not make mistakes?
Shit that job already age's the fuck out of people. Look at the pictures of assorted presidents from when they take office until they leave. Even the 4 year ones.

Exactly. Like I said, Lesson learned from Clinton and how bogged down he got with his charge through approach to health care and the DADT bullshit.

me thinks that's why 12clicks is really mad. he never cut the mustard to make it to wall street, where the big bucks are.

Well... My unemployment is still going on after a year...

Have you looked outside your comfort zone?

is this why michelle is no longer with you? did obamas taxes force you into downsizing?

oh wait, obama only taxes the rich and you aint one of those anymore...

i heard your business isnt doing so well 12 ticks... is this true?

you, talk a lot about people and their day jobs here, but funny thing is, i havent seen you around much 9-5 these days..

if you are not already wearing a blue vest with a smiley face button on it, i see it in your future very soon my son, very soon.. :thumbsup
