    How many radical nuts can this president nominate for important posts and surround himself with? What does that say about his true nature?

    Obama said that if you want to know who he is you should look at with whom he surrounds himself

    Is Obama as bad as you are all saying in the forums. I think most of us in the UK have no idea about all of this.

    It is daily becoming harder to avoid that conclusion.

    Helen, he scares me worse than any politician I've known about in my 65 years--in the United States, at least.  And this has been true since long, long before he was elected President.

    Wow this surprises me, because over here he was said to be the best president the US will ever have. He comes across so nice and cosy with his wife and kids. I think I must read up a little on him, as you guys have given me more insight than anything in the news over here. Maybe there is a cover up going on so as not to scare us all. Things looked so good, and I am sad to see so many Americans feeling this way about the person who is running their country.

    I disagree, people will be sad. The fall out from such an event would be huge! Mass civil unrest, riots, etc. Its the worse thing that can happen!

    If you haven't noticed, about half of the American population always hates the current guy in office. The politics forums here is just dominated by a lot of people from that group right now.

    Brenda, that is something that we would not want to happen. It would be the worst thing that could happen right now.  Not only would that idiot Biden be President but it would cause a lot of upheaval.

    People feel free to criticize Obama and that's normal. It doesn't mean that people who criticize him want him assasinated.

    Take your own advice and do some reading from legitimate news sources if you want to form an objective opinion about Obama.  Internet forums in general, and this one in particular are attractive to fringe elements who are not representative of our society in general and present a point of view that is far outside of the mainstream.  In fact if you'd like to skip a step to speed things up so you can move on to actual research, just watch the opening 10 minutes of the Glen Beck program on the Fox network to see where these parrots get their squaking points. After your nausea passes you can move on in your quest to form a rational, non-polemical opinion of our president.

    Yeah, for rational, non-polemical opinion, you can flush the major american news networks and major american newspapers down the drain and look at your own newspapers.

    Helen - the forums here are an excellent sampling of how a LOT of Americans feel about Obama. I'd suggest looking around at a few more American political sites too, for a more rounded picture. Try freerepublic.com for one.

    The main reason so many are upset is because he doesn't respect our constitution and therefore our freedoms. People really wanted change, but not the change he's giving us.

    You are only hearing from sore loosers, the ones that voted against Obama. I voted for him and he is the best thing since slice bread.  So all of you can go and F*** your selves.

    The fact is Obama is a democrat and he has spoken in the past about redistributive change. Democrats in general believe in a bigger role for government in society, at least they do now a days. Kennedy when he was president believed in the free market system. He was a tax cutter and believed government should have a smaller footprint in society.

    Obama seems like a nice man, and I'm sure he believes that his policies will be good for America. The left though, should not deny that Obama wants government to take a greater role. That Obama wants to redistribute wealth from corporations and the wealthy to the poor and even from the USA to poorer countries.

    Many of us did not vote for him, nor do we share his views. Many of us that did vote for him did so because the republicans who were supposed to be fiscally responsible and for smaller government strayed from this philosophy.

    Personally, I believe Obama's policies will be a catastrophe for America. I doubt he will be reelected, but he does have a nice smile.

    Would you feel different if you found out many of the posters against Obama voted for the last George bush TWICE!
