Got anymore you would like to add???

See how far we can get concentrating on the positives of this administration thus far. He has done a really decent job, and I'm not sure how his ardent critics cannot admit that. How about that? Let's talk about that for a minute or two. Could it be the Obama is the right choice, and that you are just afraid to admit you were wrong?

  Sure it's good when people can buy homes, but lets not forget what caused this economic collapse to begin with, securitized mortgages from high risk borrowers! The jury is still out on the Obama administration, but I believe by the end of his term we will see economic armageddon unprecedented in our history!

  Sure. Obama has increased spending at an unsustainable rate. In spite of the CBO report on the health care bill claiming the deficit will be reduced, I can tell you unequivocably that will not be the case. The CBO bases their numbers on the assumptions proposed in the bill being accurate. When has the government EVER been accurtate reporting costs or revenues? NEVER! On it's face the cost as reported 1 trillion over ten years is a lie! The money is collected for ten years but the full benefits don't kick in for 5, so it will really cost 2.5 trillion at least but will likely cost much more!
  Then there is carbon cap and trade another huge tax on the middle class that this administration claims will have negligible effect. But even AEP has said their costs will double which is what they must then pass on to consumers. Obama himself in his campagin said that fuel costs must rise significantly in order to combat global warming. Then there is the bailouts and the stimulus. The good news is we spent 200 billion less then we expected, but instead of reducing the debt they are going to spend that again! Fiscal policy is in a shamble! The treasury has increased the money supply by 120% unprecedented in history! This doesn't bode well for future inflation. In addition the health care bill and carbon cap and trade are job killers. Less jobs means less tax revenue, means more borrowing from China to finance ever bigger government. There is already talk at Moody's about downgrading the credit rating of the USA leading to higher interest rates. All this uncertainty is also restricting hiring and spurring talk among nations holding our debt to consider scrapping our currency as the standard in trading things like oil. There is a real risk that Obama will bankrupt America, and that economic collapse will lead to social unrest.

  Don't mistake disagreement for hate. I don't hate Obama, in fact I'm sure he's a nice guy and really believes what he is doing is right However, I couldn't disagree more with him, or any of the democrats on what they are doing! Their policies have been proven wrong by history and we are all going to pay a price for their pig headed march towards socialism with the expansion of government and loss of freedom that accompanies it with the misconception that they are somehow "serving the betterment of society"! It's arrogant and an outrage that Obama should presume to know what is best for our country instead of leaving those decisions to be determined by individuals free to act on their own accord!

  I don't think Obama wants to destroy the country, I do believe that will be the effect of his policies! How is it that he criticizes Bush for the 400 billion dollar deficit but then expands that deficit to 1.8 trillion? Remember, Obama had NO executive EXPERIENCE when he was placed in this job, and his decisions show it. In addition he has surrounded himself with anti capitalists, radicals, and socialists, and is clearly catering to the unions that saw to his elections. His promises of transparency and bipartisanship and of doing things differently in Washington, have been nothing more than empty campaign slogans. The uncertainty he's created is frightening!

  Precisely! Obama and Clinton have done more to move America forward than has been achieve in many years. The economy had little to do with this admin with wars already costing billions a day. It will take America time to recover. With the loons attacking every single change made and then telling lies about outcomes, America has the most partisan opposition I know of, and that includes Australia's pathetic "liberal" party under the "leadership" of a guy known as "The mad monk" who wants compulsory bible lessons in schools and a "what climate change?" view of the world.

  Dumping Tax money into the private sector to finance growth isn't a positive, because it is not real growth. And the positive numbers being reported are still far below REAL numbers that occurred in the past.
  
  These false economies are a scam. When you throw $100 billion at a problem, then use only $60 Billion you were approved for you didn't save $40 Billion.
  
  Team Obama is nothing more than Spin Doctors.
  
  If a market is not surviving on it's own subsidizing it only delays the inevitable.
  
  There is an old episode of "Married with Children" where Peg Bundy starts selling cosmetics on commission. She starts making all kinds of money. How? By purchasing the cosmetics herself. She thought that was "profit".
  
  This is the current mode of operation of the Government.
  
  The Government produces no GDP.
  
  The Government is a tax on the people. All the funds thrown at the Housing Market will do nothing to fix the problem.
  
  This is nothing more than a distraction. The USA is Bankrupt.
  
  The Government is just trying to buy time while they work for the "Invisible Government" which is trampling the United States Constitution and working to devalue the dollar to the point they can make a plausible argument to the uneducated to get rid of it.
  
  Obama does not work for the People, Obama is the Bankers Puppet.
  
  The uneducated are quick to buy into the lies.
  
  Obama has kept none of his campaign promises.

Let me say first that I believe in dialogue. I think most Americans have good hearts whether they support Obama or not. And I'll admit to having said some pretty mean things about Bush a few years back.

But that said: It makes me angry and sick to hear people talk about Obama this way. Some of the things Sandra Rinck has written about him are just vile. She even used a faked video of Osama bin Laden in her most recent hub, to prove her point.

That's messed up!

All these people who claim to be patriots, who screamed at me for being a traitor when I didn't support Bush's war in Iraq, now they can't shut up about how horrible Obama is, how he's a closet muslim, how he wants to destroy America. You're talking about the President, people! Wake up! You are ridiculous!

You are afraid of anyone who's different. Because Obama has a nuanced, position on foreign policy you think he's a traitor? Because he shows respect to other religions and other heads of state you think he's a Muslim?

Obama not a stupid pretend cowboy like Bush was - thank god! So he can't sprinkle his magic fairy dust and fix all the problems Bush created - get over it! This country is F***d and it was long before Obama was elected. It's going to take a while to fix. Face it. Stop being crybabies because your guy didn't win.

  Sandra, you posted a video of Osama Bin Laden supposedly saying that he shares friends and supporters with Obama. You claimed that the video was factual. In fact you began your hub with it.
  
  So you are attacking the President of the United States based on the supposed words of Osama Bin Laden? Are you serious?
  
  You might have had some interesting points to make, but posting that video first just destroyed any credibility you might have had. Not only that but I find it disgusting that someone would take the words of Bin Laden and use them to attack the President.
  
  Here's what you wrote:
  
  "So... they "both have friends who blew up the pentagon". Interesting, very interesting. How is it that Bin Laden, the most wanted man in the world (or at least America) not only comes out of hiding and congratulates Obama on winning the election but also states that they have mutual friends who "blew up the Pentagon"?
  
  Wait a minute, I am not done. Bin Laden cannot wait to meet with Obama so he is willing to, um... so does that mean Obama knows where he is? Let's just think for a moment folks. They have mutual friends who blew up the Pentagon, Bin Laden, the man who cannot be found wants to meet with Obama.
  
  Wait, again... "I am looking forward to meeting with President Barrack Obama without preconditions to negotiate to our demands or submit or die. We have much in common, the same supporters, the same allies, and we both have friends who blew up the Pentagon. "
  
  So - you think that Obama and Osama are friends? On the basis of a faked video?
  
  Disgusting and ridiculous, simultaneously.

  Just because you started this thread it does not mean that everyone that posts in it have to agree with you. People have some legitimate concerns about what is happening these days. Including Sandra, here and in her hub that has been mentioned.

  How ever you are feeling about these things is something you need to work out in yourself because I don't see life like that. However our political views differ it has nothing to do with the color our our skin.

  You want to talk about him really caring for the poor? The poor are the ones being left out. It was supposed to help everyone but it doesn't.

I have read their books on forced abortions,appointing Lawyers for animals to sue in court,"nudging" people into nanny state government systems. I have seen hours of youtube footage of these people praising Mao, using "green" jobs and laws to push the Cloward and Piven theory ( which if you look into they are implementing it right now)proudly calling themselves socialist & progressives.

  D Camp, I think if you take a look at things from a liberal perspective you'd see that we have similar goals - equality, economic opportunity, and so forth.
  
  The difference is in how we hope to go about achieving these things. I could show you quite a bit of evidence that the free market way, which has been promoted by Republicans mainly but also by Clinton and other Dems, is destructive to these ends.
  
  A look at history shows that the richest 1% are not going to go away or get poorer. They never have. They will always have the resources to protect, maintain, and grow what they have.

Trusting the Constitution and hoping that politicians will do “the right thing” got America in trouble and the democratic system in jeopardy.

It is naivety or apathy? What about a little bit of both?

With little or no enough civic conscience America is still trusting the elected representatives, all of them carrier politicians; never mind we had more than enough proof of their corruption and their inefficiency. We are still hopping against hope!

The health bill is a perfect and painful example; motivated by the desire of being reelected for another term, Congressmen from most states played their card to ensure they are coming back to Washington; our health and the wellbeing of an entire nation took second seat.

The scare part is that most members of congress nonchalantly admitted not to have read the health bill; they voted blindly.

I know they have never heard about reading between the lines, but voting without reading it at all is criminal.

He's a one term president at best... if he makes it that far. That's a huge positive.

Obama is just a mouthpiece for the Bankers and Corporate Wealth... no different than any other President.

His shortfall is that he is President at a time when the Central Banks Fractional Reserve System has reached the Breaking Point.

And like all Presidents instead of "fixing" the problems he just lies to cover up Business as Usual.

Numbers have no Political Affiliation. Numbers can not lie.

The country and it's people are Bankrupt. The current Monetary System put into place by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 has collapsed on itself.

If you can not educate yourself as to the way the Federal Reserve System works... then you will just continue into the abyss.

So it really makes no difference if you like Obama or you don't like Obama.

Nothing he does will prevent the complete economic collapse unless he addresses the real issue - the Central Bank.

People don't want to understand what is going on... they want to put their trust in some guy who talks the talk... but couldn't walk the walk if he wanted too.

This isn't the case at all..the "government will take care of you" theme is a farce.

It has been the tool of government that has been able to try to counter (albeit very unsuccessfully) the individual and collective economic and social destruction of the majority of Americans by private interests, whether they be coal mine operators, bankers, and even politicians.

Remember, it was the Federalized National Guard who escorted African-American students into universities/schools in the 1960's. It was the government that had to go to war to end slavery (though its motives were actually true), its the Dream Act, Assembly Bill 540.

When slavery was legal, while Native Americans were forced to remain on reservations, or paying white men to bring in the scalps of "savages"...this is the government "taking care of people."

Government itself is a tool. How it is used is another matter. Can it be used wisely?...yes, and it is beneficial to have a balance between public and private authorities...but many, many Americans don't, in my opinion, have a very good perspective on what "government" and "private" really stand for or mean.

This government isn't truly "by the people" either, in my opinion.

In the mid-19th century the Ottoman Empire, besought by internal and external problems alike, initiated a period of civil reforms that enabled non-Muslims of the Empire to gain equal status with their Muslim counterparts. They were able to join the military, which was the beginning step into a larger civil service career, and were able to gain representation in the national assembly, which had never existed before. This is known as the Tanzimat period.

Now the Sultan/Grand Vizier power structure stood, somewhat, on the sidelines while the legislature played around. Yet, when all was said and done, it would be the power of the dominant foces in Ottoman society that would have the final say. Temporary civil rights would lead to a backlash of intolerance and government sponsored genocide against minority populations.

The government seen, or not, in "Celia; a Slave", or viewed through the testimony of former slaves in "My Folks Don't Want Me To Talk About Slavery" is closer to the true face or image of "America" in my view, and any inroads that reform have made can be eroded, and I believe that this is already occurring.

It was Civil Rights legislation that enabled minority populations to gain access to institutions opposed to their presence...now with the extent of fee increases (just looking at California schools alone) and enrollment cuts, it will be increasingly difficult for those kept in disadvantate to gain access.

Yes, kept in disadvantage....I went to a middle school that was treated by the district like trash and to a high school that the district prized. Just the difference between the teaching of Algebra alone is a testament to what I am saying....and the educational system that numerous politicians state was the "best in the world" at one point (uh-huh) has crumbled as "white" students have largely opted out via movement to other areas or transferring to private schools.

Long story short, these patterns are cyclical, but what does will the other side of the pendullum swing look like now? The ugly face of "America" hasn't been publicly viewed for over half a century....

Why does it matter if he's doing anything positive? He is a PUPPET of the New World Order. ONE WORLD currency, ONE WORLD Government, and ONE WORLD religion will be taken into effect SOON. Obama just cares about the MONEY and POWER. Understand that the ILLUMINATI pays him to do what THEY want him to do. He DOESN'T make any decisions for US to benefit off of. When will you people do research behind the TV and his "actions"? Maybe you won't believe me though, because your mind is being controlled by THEM. LOL you sheep are so funny. OOOBBBAAAMMMAAA!!! OOOBBBAAAMMMAAA!!! CHANGEEE!!! CHANGEEE!!! lol keep worshipping evil, and you will see what eventually happens. It's only a matter of time, and the revolution isn't looking very successful right now. Every second is one increment closer to NO FREEDOM. I'm not hating Obama, because he is being controlled too. Money can do powerful things haha. And I can't believe how many people have no clue.

  I honestly suggest that people open their mind to see the truth. If you already know the truth, then try to get the people to work together instead of bickering about religion, race, political parties, social status, etc. Those are all just titles that represents EGO. We're all part of ONE humanity, so we need to work together through love, peace, truth, and positivity to eliminate evil. Spiritual Enlightenment would be a great start to eliminate evil in your own universe or life. Thanks for asking.

  We are really close in our understandings of the issues and I have preached the same message over and over again that we should relate on our similarities and not our own wants and likes. The future holds a lot more for us if we relate to each other instead of finding faults and differences to divide us.
  
  I had to ask the question to see if you had some agenda you were married too and not some thumping crackpot trying to just stir things up.
  
  How do you open peoples eyes to see the corrupt nature of the government and its self serving agendas?

  Well, I would have to say the best way to do that would be to show them evidence. Give them facts about what the government is trying to do, and that there is a higher power behind them called the Bilderbergs that want to depopulate the world to 500,000,000 people in the next couple of decades so it would be harder for them to rise up and revolt. They have already started this process with fluoride, aspartame, food additives, tobacco products, caffeine, vaccines, etc. These are all poisonous. Soon the New World Order will be put into place and then another Holocaust, so to speak, will be in effect once mindful people all over the world start rejecting the evil authority. We need to stay healthy and prepared by eating organic food, saving up natural spring water (bottled), not giving up our weapon stash for self-defense against them, not accepting a "product chip" in our body for total control, stop accepting information from the television(and if possible stop watching the mind drainer), inform as many people as possible, and do your part by promoting peace,love, truth, and positivity. And truly when it comes to people accepting the truth, it could take forever. We were programed(Yes, like robots) to accept false lies and worship them through money. It might be too much for the normal, ignorant, brainwashed human to grasp or accept at first so give it time. You did your job by showing and telling them, now it's their job to figure it out on their own. Ok I hope you get the point, I will stop rambling on haha. Peace,Love,Truth,Positivity

  Yes, I am agree with you by and large. The capitalists, investors and business tycoons are trying to control us. We all are after freedom but where is the freedom. Our lives are controlled by the financial institutes. We are working hard to fill up their funds.
  Governments are helping them making policies in their favor. It is the right time to awake and be aware.
  Take control of your own life !
  Thanks,
