give him a chance, he is only been president for a year and half, and he passed the Stimulus package without republican support, HealthCare reform, which every democract president tried but fail, and Financial Reform without republican support.

Republicans are trying every way to undermine his presidency, and blocking everything he tries to accomplish.

@lordcron yeah great turn it into a race discussion. jesus you people are inner racists

[70srock70]

He has got to be the biggest liar that has ever held the office. Remember can't afford 2 wars, we now are in 3! Days not weeks,now months, Green and new innovation and technology, now drill and burn just to name a few lies. If you look at all his campaign promises it is as Benjamin Franklin said,, often a half truth is a great lie. He has expanded our budget more then any president in 30 years when we are in more debt then we can pay. He hasn't changed with power,,,he just lied his way to it!

@5thElementArts Yeah, it's absurd. Same pattern with each new president. We're always making criticisms and comparisons with the old, sorta like romantic new partners. In general older ppl resist change whereas younger ones embrace it. Seems like the same human impulse that drives ppl towards religious hysteria makes some people feel strong affiliation with a specific political party. IMO, it's all entertainment and distraction, similar to films, music, sex, etc

This video does make a point. Obama is letting his political goals be watered down by the opposition, but at least this is a step in the right direction.

@5thElementArts really all I herd when he was running is how great he is and he is the one. Do not pin your hopes on one Man since the congress are the one's who controls the house and the corporations control them.

Politicians aren't much different from one another, they promise the world and deliver nothing. Rep or Dem, all the same. It's always been the world before our own country, before our own citizens. We're too sensitive about our image for the rest of world that we've overlooked the fundamental elements of what holds the United States together. The people. And that sums up the US Government in my mind. I do love my country, we've just gone a little off track.

@5thElementArts I know right- They expect everything to be instantly fixed, but people should know nothing can be fixed instantly with a push of a button, but nope.

[manvvv1234]

[RuneofWarcraft]

Betcha million bucks they're just looking for reasons to get Obama outta the white house.
