Obama the president is the incredible shrinking commander-in-chief, who has deferred to old-time politics (and politicos) and yielded to disproven big-government ideologies.
Obama the president doesn't seem to care about capitalism or small businesses at all. His vision of a renewed American marketplace seems to have a lot to do with the government running and regulating everything. Obama the president certainly doesn't seem to believe that it is the small business owner who is the backbone of the economy. He also doesn't seem to recognize that the American dream has a lot to do with the freedom to risk it all in the marketplace.
He is empty. He is an empty vessel.
The proof of his ideological emptiness is practically undeniable. He has been, over the short course of his political career, the great abandoner, ever-willing to denounce those ideals that were previously sold to his constituents as “his convictions.”
And his reaction to any kind of opposition – from the right, from the citizenry, from Fox News – is equally telling. If Obama’s agenda were based on conviction instead of political expedience and an unquenchable thirst for popularity, criticism would bounce right off him. Instead he seems frighteningly flappable. That’s because leadership without convictions is leadership of empty rhetoric. Convictions can be defended against criticism. Empty rhetoric cannot.
I don’t know if President Obama is a man of conviction, if he is a man of faith, or if he is the intellectual giant the left really wants him to be. He very well may be all of those things. But I haven’t seen proof of any of it yet, and neither have you, because there hasn’t been any.
The only thing we do know for sure, one year after anointing this relative unknown the forty-fourth president of the United States, is that he’s a politician, pure and simple. Calling him a radical gives him way too much credit.
Another loser. Seriously, where does America find it's presidential candidates? George W. Bush, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter have been some of the biggest jokes on the American political scene in the past 30 years. What exactly are the requirements to be a president in America?
Really great question. Where I'm from we're afraid hes going to screw USA over...but that's just where I'm from. I can't hear my own feelings over the holler of everyone else's...including the Obama fans.
I feel like Obama is a politician...which means I wish I knew what the hell was REALLY going on in Washington...but I guess unless we are a big shot, a REALLY big shot, we will never know....
So I guess that's my answer. I have no freaking clue.
He is not qualified for the Job of Senator let alone the presidency!
He is a big cry baby still blaming someone else.
He is vindictive !
He is eating colby beef while the rest of us are trying to pay our house payments.
He is corrupt just like ACORN!
He gives money to the thieves (banks) who put us all in trouble in the first place ... they pay each other bonuses with the usury money they charged for credit card debt.
He is going to put the US completely out of business.
He has never ran any kind of business of any kind not even a lemonade stand. He has never done anything of any importance.
The biggest insult is He is a Teacher ... to be a teacher means you cannot do it so you have pretend to teach it.
I think he is mostly sincere. He has good style. Good voice.
Really bad quality of appointees. Health care plan really bad. As far as substance. I think he is totally wrong on his radical pro abortion stance. I think most of his ideas about high government intervention are misguided. I think he is off base in saying creation science is bad science and inappropriate that he, Hillary and Biden all berated people who did not believe in evolution various ways in their campaign. It's a really bad sign the democratic party is getting really godless claiming to hold to a form of godliness.
I think he suffered by not having good Bible teaching for too long at really eccentric churches and by associations with the extreme radicle left.
I feel that he is in the position of power for a reason (Colossians 1:16-"For by Him all things were created...whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities..." even as a student in jr.high- many of us have been influenced by our parents,etc.that Obama was a mistake-but this verse made me change my mind)
I think he is spending far too much and trying to expand the government far too much. I think it is going to cause a lot more problems that are going to last a lot longer. I think it was unfortunate that he was elected.
I think he needs to stop being so nice, get a spine, and stop catering to nonsense. Get the things done that he promised to get done. He's not being tough *enough* against the right wing nutjobs who are devoting their lives to spreading lies and misinformation, and holding up progress at every turn.

I don't like him and I didn't vote for him. He's the same windbag as before the election.
He should have received and Oscar for his performance rather than the Nobel Peace Prize.
When will Obama ever become President?
