  Try the government website that tracks where the stimulus money is going. There were 405 districts that received stimulus money that don't exist, wow.
  
  $ 787 BILLION IS NOW UP TO $825 BILLION and still we have over 9.7% out of work, what happened to those shovel ready jobs ? I wasn't aware that policeman, fireman, teachers and other public servants need shovels to perform.
  
  I AM SURE YOU WILL NEVER SEE THAT REPORT ON ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,MSNBC OR PBS
  Wake up America , the Obama administration isn't telling the American people the truth.

2. he campaigned as a liberal and rules like a moderate
3. he promised he would be different, and he's not
4. Americans feel like government is getting WAY too big
5. people like Pelosi and Soros make him look bad
6. he's too thin skinned
7. he's black - sorry, but it's true. Some people simply don't like him just because he's black

The people live in an era of uncertainty just look at the depression and the rise of Nazism. There are similar twists to then and now. The most notable of these is the uncertain economic future for the working people. This coupled with the fact that people have to deal with the fact at the most powerful man in the world today is a african american, something the world hasn't experienced in modern times. Once the dust settles and jobs and hope emerges on the horizon things will be different.

A part of it is that he won and that is the price of victory.

But in Obama's case, the opposition started the moment he was elected. I believe some of it is racial, and some of it is that Republicans can't stand losing. They did the same thing to Clinton.

  I'm a Black Gay Man. The first thing President Obama did to upset me was allowing a homophobic preacher to get up their on the inauguration stage with him. Then under his watch; Gay men and women are still being thrown out of the military. He fell into a coma right in the middle of the health care debate. And he came to New York and interfered with our elections. So I dont always agree with the man.
  But I know he saved my Country from a depression. I know he tries to do the right thing as much as politically possible. I know he wants to make this a better Country for all of us. Most of all; he's just a good man that does not deserve the level of hatred he endured since announcing his plans to run for president.
  Now you explain the insane hatred of the man with clear, sane, truthful examples of why he deserves so much hatred. And explain how it could be anything but insane racial hatred. And lets have none of what you might consider to be cute little one liners. Their old and tired.

  I'd say an argument can be made that Clinton underwent a similar level of hostility. (I'd add Reagan to that also, but frankly I was too young at the time to be sure about that). Sorry it's a one-liner, but I mean Clinton underwent a fair ordeal on a number of fronts (not saying I'm a fan of the man, just saying, well, he wasn't black).
  
  ...Although I did hear a black (female) comic once say that the only white men that black people like are Bill Clinton and Bob Barker..., so maybe he was an honorary Black person?
  
  Anyway, yes, some of it is racism, for sure. But not all of it. I don't think that's right...
  
  ...And don't forget that some people just don't like his POLICIES. Or his CABINET PICKS...

  His policies? That doesn't explain the tea-bagging (haha) at the very beginning of his term....before he even did anything.
  And there were no anti-Bush/Cheney signs at those baggings....none.

  The reason there has been so much negativity directed at President Obama is because people are afraid of change especially when it is more than one thing at a time. He has shown that he can make tough decisions even when the decision is not so popular or what everyone wants. With all the nasty hateful talk swirling around the country and all the misinformation spread by FOX NEWS and right wing radio talk shows like Limbaugh, Glen Beck, and others along with Liz Cheney, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Bachman spouting terms like socialist...marxist...nazi...radical...racist...etc.
  There isn't any civility anymore, just hateful partisan rhetoric attacking Obama in an attempt to destroy him. I feel race plays into a lot of the so called grass roots Tea Party hate speech and cowardly violence we've seen recently after the passage of healthcare reform. Come on all you right wing conservatives tell the truth, you don't like Obama because he is not white.

This is not a republican vs. democrat issue. Its not even really an Obama issue. Its a country of people angry and disappointed with our government in general.

Our constitution which Obama at one time called "an out dated document which needs to be revised states that "WE THE PEOPLE" shall decide what is best for our country! Obama, members of the house and senate are mere servants of the people. It is very obvious that the above mentioned do not view themselves in this manner and have failed to serve!
They have set themselves up as in manner to suggest that we are on the brink of a kind of dictatorship.
Not that it should have been any great shock to the masses as it has been.

And now we are where we are with our government out of control driven mad with power over us and people are scared, disillusioned, and rather pissed off about it!
So they spout off about Obama regardless of their political party because he is the figure head to point blame. And part of that is justified yet so many forget about the powers that be in the house and senate!

We were all standing there at the polls with this delicious looking carrot dangling before our noses and chose to bite. Bad, impulsive decision! The real "change" everyone was and is looking for does not come from some arrogant, over zealous liberal spouting "Yes we can!" It comes from US!!!

I am planning on July 4th our nations independence day, to change my w2 form to 10 dependents. This way I can hurt them where it hurts most: IN THERE POCKET BOOK! lol

I presume it's 'dictatorship' in your mind when elected officials vote in a way you disagree with. When that happened under Bush on matters I disagreed with, it was still democracy to me and liberals in general. (Can you find evidence of liberal militias forming inthe Bush years?)

  Aside form the usual silliness of the post i.e. Socialist, Tyrants etc. etc., an individual cannot change their own W-2. The W-2 is a form that the employer uses to report wages of the individual to the IRS. The ranter probablty meant a W-4 (it's easy to get confused in the middle of a tantrum) I don't believe there's any penalty for claiming more dependants on this form than you have, because it doesn't actually affect your taxes owed, only your amount withheld from each paycheck. The problem will come when the annual taxes are due. If you have had substantially less withheld than you owe, there are penalties to pay in addition to the taxes.

  Fox will show past clips of what he says compared to what he says today or yesterday.
  Example about the healthcare bill. He says children with pre existing conditions will be insured with the passed bill, fact is that what he just said don't happen until 2014.
  I seen his interview on Fox with Brett Bair, truly he couldn't give a straight answer. He filibustered and tried to get his propaganda message about another subject. Mr.Bair didn't allow him to use up the time with BS.

The thing is, people expected milk and honey. Especially after the dry run of George Bush. No one could deliver milk and honey but in their desperation, people believed Obama could. When he could not, as he would not, people got disheartened and soon came to dislike themselves for believing so easily. In a way, instead of deriding themselves, they had latched on to Obama.
