Did I think that he was in 2008, do you mean? Not completely. My priority in the last election was to get someone in there who would get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan ASAP. I knew he was not the answer to that.
Domestically, the GOP model is a failed one. We needed to fix the problem that model created. Frankly, had Hillary gotten the nomination, I would have pulled the lever for her because her husband, who despite his personal flaws, is a task oriented pragmatist, would have been her closest advisor. As it was, I couldn't bring myself to vote for Obama and since McCain's first major decision as a candidate was to pick Palin he wasn't an option either.
Since then, I believe that Obama has done a good job repairing our alliance with the Europeans. I believe that he did a good job with the stim [most new businesses establish themselves as success or failure around 18-24 months from startup]. We are seeing our new business accelerate [although, it's bride oriented so June being nearby may have had something to do with it but its's mid-May and business is still growing.]
But how anyone can make an informed decision on the effectiveness of a presidency after less than a year as the Ditto-Bots did is somewhat antiphrastic to reality.

It's nonsense - especially coming on the heels of an adminstration (sic) which committed not only the worst foreign policy blunder in this nation ever committed but was absolutely derelict in its management of domestic fiscal and regulatory affairs as well.
So why doesn't you boy end it?
The fact is He expanded it, and now regularly bombs Pakistan. Please explain why?
BTW, when he was in the Senate he did what to stop Bush & war?
Every site that has banned or suspended me and at which I was an active member has suffered that fate.
The Curse o' WAR...BEWARE!!!

Take your reading comprehension issues and shove them up your cunt, Cunt. You're trying to pick a fight with me when we are 100% in agreement.

The two worst policy decisions were, in order 1) Korea and 2) Vietnam.
You're out of your mind. But thanks for once again confirming that you don't have me on filter.

There's been great advances made in opthamology. Avail yourself of them.

If you think Obama is the right choice for this nation, then you are among those who believe we should no longer be a Capitalist nation, but a socialist country led by dictators.
Milton Friedman and Pinochet proved that Capitalism (a word coined by Marx) is not synonymous with freedom for human beings, but can happily coexist with a dictator. Capitalism is an economic system, not a political system.
Its kind of ironic that Hong Kong and Singapore top the Heritage Foundation's list as the two freest economies in the world. Singapore has had one party rule since its inception and Hong Kong belongs to China.
Australia, number three on the list, has had universal health care since 1984. Canada ranks number seven; the United States, eight; and Denmark, nine.
He has weakened this nation, weakened our military, weakened our leadership by bowing down to our enemies all over the world.
Bush handed over a weakened nation to Obama.
Dwight Eisenhower said "Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it." With few exceptions, the world was on our side after 9/11; Bush took that good will, that "wants to do it" and threw it in the toilet believing that the world would accept the leadership of a strong bully. A bully can compel compliance, but not loyalty, and good will. It is the leadership style of the dictator.
No, Bush still looks like Bush. Nothing can ever change that.

Do you think we should do away with our capitalist system in favor of a socialist system?
Do you agree with the first wookie, we should 'share the pie'?

The numbers don't lie. From double digit unemployment, six figure per month foreclosures, tripling of the deficit (4 times over April of last year, btw) to our relationships with our allies.
The kool aid drinkers won't admit it.
Why are they are cowards about admitting they feel 0bama is doing a *snicker* a "great job"? Why won't they admit here that they believe he's doing right by America?
Because like all liberals and Commie-leaning hypocrites, they HIDE. OBFUSCATE. LIE.
Look no further than you who pulled the handle for that wholly incomptetent boob and his resume of failure for why we are where we are now.
Bill Oreilly will be proud of you. No president makes a country great it is the citizens that do that, stupid. So when does the that revolution I keep hearing is imminent from your aging bureacrat police friends, start?
An adminstration [Dubya's] which...was absolutely derelict in its management of domestic fiscal and regulatory affairs as well.
You mean 0bama and Geitner haven't been dictatorial, derelict, criminally negligent, and corrupt in their management of domestic and regulatory affairs?
Despite 0bama's $800 billion Stimulus bill, why is the economy still a trainwreck and getting worse? Why the rampant job loss and fudged 12% unemployment figures? Why the rampant foreclosures and business closings? Why the over-regulation of everything from Twinkies to suing states for enforcing federal law?
That must be some great blow you've been tootin' for the past year and a half.

WTF are you blathering on about you blithering, bungling bobblehead of bullsh*t?
Try paying attention to whom your posting to...Putting down the bottle of "breakfast" might help.
I don't think any 'bureacrat police friends' will start this revolution, but they will be among those who end it!
The 'Revolution' has begun, just not in your area yet!
I admit it's difficult to discern whether Mininggold is playing dumb.
She and her ilk of Hopey-Changey statist projectionists either can't wait for COMMIE USA, or are truly and hopelessly delusional and disengaged from reality.
