    Any thoughts about Obama's back-pedaling on any bills to bring back American jobs?

      The people are beginning to see who the real Obama is and where he is taking our country.
      Obama believes that he is the CEO of the world , forgetting that the people elected him president of the US.
      His inexperience radical actions become more and more in the open.Without a teleprompter he does stutter a lot.
      Where are the jobs he and this congress promised?
      Wake up America we are heading for a disaster.

        We been heading for a disaster since 1980's. Obama ain't the scapegoat here. He do what he is told to do. Did you not see who elected him for Nobel Peace Prize. Look behind the scene, dude. Thats right America wake up!

    I really wish people would stop using phrases like "wake up" or "open your eyes!" when they really mean "AGREE WITH ME!"

      If that phrase offends you, for a time being I will avoid using it.

      When i write a hub,I am not looking for anyone to agree with me.
      Just trying to let my hair down and tell it the way it is as i know  it.
      If I'm wrong or err in my hub, please feel free to correct me at anytime.

      Keep hubbing, enjoy the spirit of the freedom of speech.

    Hi Jon This one is just for you. Sorry it's so long.  It's a list of Barack Obamas' accomplishments since becoming President. A reply on the accuracy of this list would be greatly appreciated.

    Robert P. Watson, Ph.D. Coordinator of American Studies

    I am always being asked to grade Obama's presidency. In place of offering him a grade, I put together a list of his accomplishments thus far. I think you would agree that it is very impressive. His first six months have been even more active than FDRs or LBJs the two standards for such assessments. Yet, there is little media attention given to much of what he has done. Of late, the media is focusing almost exclusively on Obama's critics, without holding them responsible for the uncivil, unconstructive tone of their disagreements or without holding the previous administration responsible for getting us in such a deep hole. The misinformation and venom that now passes for political reporting and civic debate is beyond description.

    As such, there is a need to set the record straight. What most impresses me is the fact that Obama has accomplished so much not from a heavy-handed or top-down approach but from a style that has institutionalized efforts to reach across the aisle, encourage vigorous debate, and utilize town halls and panels of experts in the policy-making process. Beyond the accomplishments, the process is good for democracy and our democratic processes have been battered and bruised in recent years.

    Let me know if I missed anything in the list (surely I did).

    LOL @ "announced intention" & "ordered review"



    Oh, and did he actually build a swing set with his own two hands? I'm sure the White House would have some PR shots of that.

    I do not believe in a 'new world order', I believe in a 'forever changing world order'. Of the various conspiracy theories presented to me thus far, many of them actually appeal to me.

    To me, 'New World Order', means extremely wealthy people being worried about losing their wealth. It could also mean 'religions worrying about not retaining their power'. I have no wealth, and no religion, bring it on I say.

    It all boils down to the greedy. People protecting their interests. Oil could have been made redundant by now if the world wasn't full of rich and powerful people with vested interests.
