why dont you go 'fly a kite' freedom of speech is still allowed!!!!
Worst President to date. His policies are amid at destroying the american way of life and to make sure that he leaves the office with a large amount of money. I see no change or hope with this guy. All I see is a man that states that we need to act responsible and in turn spends so much money on his useless programs and expensive life style all the back of the American tax payers. I feel he is the last that should make a speech referring to going into the reverse with voting for republicans when the democratic party have not accomplished one thing but put the economy in larger deficit. The man is just a community organizer that favors redistribution of wealth. But what else can we inspect from a party that feels that they want to tax the rich to death and the middle class to death while they grow the size of the government and use the poor to promote there own social wealth. We need a change that will promote allowing america to regain our values and job.
The WAR seriously! Maybe the new healthcare plan that cost just as much as the war.
When you guys are all poor and relying on the government you can think back to Obama. Me on the other hand MY future is in my hands not the governments. I know how to take care of myself.
Do you really think Obama cares about you? If you dont like big business build your own and compete against them. Stop being a little chicken #$%^. Change the way big business works by becoming one of them and showing how it should be done.
Where are you getting your numbers? Besides the bottom line is no matter who is doing it the spending has got to stop.
We are in this recession because people were spending more than they made because they were stupid, but its hard to tell people not to when there own government is doing it also. Would you rather pay interest to china and the middle east, or just keep the money that you earn.
Why should I pay for someones incompetence hmmm. Should I buy the 200000 house and the 50000 car or should I buy the 100000 house and the 10000 car. Which one would make more sense if you don't have health insurance but would like it. Now here is the tricky part your budget only allows for one or the other. Health Insurance or a nicer car and house.
So maybe we should educate people on what there prioities should be. Now there is an idea!!!
Maybe you should accept the facts. Lets do some math now…
We will use examples that may actually happen in your own little world.
You buy a house for 250000 with a 5% interest on a 30 year loan you will actually be spending 483,139.46. Now lets take those same numbers and figure them into the national debt. So why are you in favor of spending money that we dont have. Oh thats right you won't have to pay it. Oh but maybe you will because when businesses get taxed higher they raise prices, and who does that effect all the little peasants. The only way to Make it fair is to educate people on money and economics. The people that are to stupid to care well they can live in there crap holes that our esteemed government provides for them. Oh and anyone out there that truelly can't care for themselves I will help you out of the goodness of my heart.
We the People are the ones that need to dig ourselves out of this hole.
You are very long winded. But we have turned into a nation of everyone owes me I don't need to work cause the governement will take care of me. I don't need to spend money wisely cause the government will take care of me. We have so many able bodied people that milk the system that it drags us all down, and Yes I do have experience in this I own rental properties and see it all the time in peoples attitudes and its sickening.
OBAMA – YOU'RE THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER!
YOU ARE A PREJUDICE FOOL, ALL YOU WANT ARE WHITE RACISTS TO RUN THE COUNTRY AND PUT IT IN A WORSE SHAPE – AT LEAST PRESIDENT OBAMA IS TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT,
worst president I ever saw in my life that guy has to go!! by the way Im black!
George Bush has a 64% approval rating? As what? A former president? I approve of that!
He's doing the best he can do under awful circumstances. He inherited two wars ineptly engaged and fought with no clear military agenda. I get why he didn't just stop them both, but that, however hard the pill is to swallow for the military families, would have been the most intelligent thing to do. He needs to break with the past and get out of this deficit dug by the previous administration. It may already be too late for him to resolve this. I have never envied Barack Obama.
In spite of continual efforts by the Republicans in the Senate to block him, he has made major strides. And in the last couple of weeks of Session, he even managed to inject a spine into Harry Reid! He has the potential to be a truly great president, and his ability to out-maneuver the enemy party is his strong suit.
It will be harder now, with the foolish choices some voters made in November '010. But he is up to the task. I hope he can hold Harry Reid to a high enough standard in the Senate, and can find ways to outmaneuver the bad guys in the House. Time will tell.
…and I'm the King of Siam!
Obama and czars are destroying americas ability to protect ourselves against the other anti-american countries pretending to be our friends, while building massive military forces using our money they get from the myth of free trade. Its almost unbelievable the senate and house permit the vast criminality going on, electionfraud unprosecuted, instead awarded billions, privatizing lowearth orbit launches, to the draft dodger musk a common bankruptcy expert, who would not be in business were it not for obama, taking away lowearth orbit military platform launches from NASA, ending Shuttle 2, Constellation, Aries, etc etc, putting F-35 on hold, while china builds stealth mig’s and diesel electric subs, carrier killers, lowearth orbit domination, obama/gates/panetta/clinton,claims to support military while dismantling us, and START, which disarms us, commiting sodomy on the US Military, real attempts to disrupt and end us—this man, his laws, czars, appointments should all be recalled, and he should be impeached, before civil war erupts, or we become so weakened our enemies successfully end america
America is the world, people who discuss color are biggots, the color of a persons skin is insignifant in the USA, the affirmative action laws, NAACP, black panthers, black muslim soft cells awaiting their chance to end america, have spawned extremist because of their acceptance of racism. And a real gangland exists in all innercities, most city governments, in these realms are criminal and corrupt themselves, turning a blind eye to satins deciples, and a host of crack-heroin-pot-speed cultures gangland who openly steal poor families young girls, and as a result have caused a backlash, like latin kings, RU, arian brotherhood, and a host of anti-black gangland entieties just to protect their families against the maurading black inner city gangs, who treat prison as an opportunity to further their connections, while qualifing for welfare, early social security scams, enabled by affirmative action, the new face of government, which has become criminal, from the president, to city counselmen, even some police are moles, with access to files of undercover agents, and avoidance tactics. The government under affirmative action no longer serves america, a multinational country.
The world is strangled by your tactics. The world shall not be fooled by Ameirica and Britain forever. We understand white people have used you for their own good. We will read whatever you put on the web, but you should now that we do not believe you. The world knows what you are up to.

Obama is an intelligent charismatic law professor playing the role of commander in chief. I still believe his worst performance was the sppech he gave for the memorial service at the Fort Hood Army Base after the massacre in Nov 2009. A real commander in chief would have called the Army psychiatrist a terrorist and showed more emotion. Obama showed more emotion for a 98 yr old female civil right activist passing thatn the victims of the Ft Hood massacre.
I live in the state of Alabama and for many months we have contacted the President by e-mail never a return recognition of the e-mails. He has failed to appoint a new US District Attorney to replace the corrupt attorney appointed by the Bush administration. This appointment is very important and Obama has been very neglegent in his responsibility to the people of this state. Hopefully he will rethink his responsibility and do his job.
The state of the Union when Obama took office was the worst since the Great Depression. Two wars unfunded fell to his administration to fund. Finally an end to corporate welfare and a President for the people.

I think President Barak Obama is the best US President ever,
I wish him success, all the best, health and a long life.
You are an id iot. How long has it been since you have had a mental check up? Looks like there's a need for your services in Libya but I know you won't go there. Your people escaped from that situation and now you're here to soak us.
I believe!
“your people?” – douche fishwrap792000 – self evident douche
love hearing from people that declare themselves “true amercians” like everyone that isn't like you that lives in the US is faking it.
Also love the ones that focus on the individual who expect to be bailed out and milk the system – coz Wall Street nneeeeevvvvveeeeerrrrrr does that – ever. Does the word “bailout” mean anything to you?
Obama needs to stop shilly-shallying and make more concrete decisions in bombing Libya. This ‘limited’ attack to ‘protect’ the citizens is so luke warm; get to the problem as this is the only chance we have to take out this criminal/murderer Ghadafi out of Libya. What a weak excuse to go to Latin America at this time, always evading his responsibilities! Oh, I forgot his wfie and daughter needs a vacation and they must get away for spring break!
I hate socialism, public schools and roads are stupid.
If obumblers brain was converted to TNT he would not have enough power to bust a tooth pick. He is the worst president that we have ever had, he is so stupid that I can not believe that the state of Iowa got him started, Iows should add to their licencse plate we appologize for obama. We can not get him and the rest of the Dumbocrats out of office and when we elect good solid conservative politicians into office we need to make sure we hold them accountable.. We also need to make sure that the communists Soros and Moore are not allowed to pay obaumber for what they want at the cost of the American Taxpayers.

Unless we end free trade and restore americas manufacturing infrastructure, placing import taxation on imports,making in america, what america consumes, while exporting to the world, discouraging slavery, our fufture as a consuming nation will soon be left out of the loop of leading manufacturing and science, mostly. Our jobs, companies, small business community accrued taxation model, unable to support our infrastructure leaves a country divided, between the haves and the never will haves. Before reagan removed import taxation our jobs were 35 % work by contract, now near 6 %, 80 % of domestic jobs pay near minium wage or below, we have lost our independence, while the world class mafia realm of billionaires has increased—end free trade, restore american independence—along with our jibs, and a chance to succeed in life, now absent for most.
lawyers/judges/politicians/lobbies for criminality currently rule us, virtual nobility, uninformed, yet making all our decisions, enacting hundreds of thousands of new laws;city, county, state, federal etc etc each year, prey upon us, as the quaility of life descends, like the myth of free trade, no lawyer is willing to end. They are destroying the military—making decisions on subjects lawyers have no information. destroying our country—, End the charade of politics, remove the czars and selected lords from office DECLARE ” marshall law “, fbi, cia, military etc etc can follow the constitution untill responsibility is restored to government
He is by far the biggest liar and fraud we have had to date and we will take back America
THERE IS NO BC
I am truly disgusted at how the Republicans are treating OUR president! He is trying to help the American people. What’s wrong with that? Isn’t that what these politicians were voted for anyways, to help the people? what is so wrong with having corporations that make millions to billions of dollars pay taxes? It won’t hurt them! While everyone else pay taxes who can barely get by paycheck to paycheck.. that is just a** backwards! You politicians are for yourselves! This is just evil to have the poor get poorer and the rich get richer! They are already rich… come on now! I am embarrassed to be called an American! Who makes up this survey ratings? Apparently there is an error! I am very PROUD of our president and everyone I know is PROUD of him as well! A select few does not speak for an entire country! Obama keep up the good work!
Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant
and a fearful master. ~ George Washington
In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned
that way ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
The Method to Lead the People to War
“Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country
who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people
along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a
communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to
the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing
the country to greater danger.”
~ Hermann Göring, Nuremberg Trials 1946
None are more hopelessly enslaved
than those who falsely believe they are free.
~ Goethe

YOU CAN’T EXPECT HIM TO FIX THE COUNTRY WHEN ALL THIS COUNTRY DOES IS POINT FINGERS AND NOT WANTING TO TAKE THE BLAME FOR ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!! HE HAS NO HELP FROM ANYONE!!!!!!
President Obama is a historic leader, in the tradition of Lincoln, Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt. He is facing controversy, hatred, racism and a power elite that is intransigent. Yet, he continues to show good will, a desire for progress, and a willingness to be flexible. His ideas are both simple and revolutionary. His is truly the President of the entire world. There would be Arab Spring were it not for the inspiration and support of this remarkable President. Of coarse, wherever the sun shines brightest, shadows are darkest. The greater the hero, the greater the emerging villain. And it is so very true with Obama. He has drawn truly evil enemies, both domestic and foreign, who in their anger and hatred have harmed the American people. But our President is a tireless warrior, representing the very best of what America has done.

Worst President in the History of this Country!
Mr. Obama is a big spender and doesn’t care about the American people. He is arrogant and has a great tendancy to blame others. The media is equally as bad~~FOX news included. It is all about the money and who has the power. I am very disillusioned with the whole lot~~we’re doomed to be led by people who really do not care about the solutions for the land of the free, the home of the brave.
