Obama's first year: Has he taken on too much?

On the first anniversary of his inauguration, US President Barack Obama faces criticism from all sides partially because of all the things he has tried but failed so far to do. Is there any way he can win back the trust of the American people? And what does his record mean for the upcoming midterm elections?

Obama is a SLUT to Big Pharma and the Military Industrial Complex.

Obama is bought and paid for.

[igorvasilevsky]

Why so serious?

Obama is a level of USA. Liar, hypocrit, puppet, murder.. Typical american president.

It's not Obama's place to flipping decide what state cultures should think about gay people above basic human rights. It is Barrack's role to up moral on the ship and balance load with things like health care. He's done his best to be a good president and at being a president is a damn sight better than the previously nearly dictator George W Bush. By the way you've got a problem with your military and you need more might than just Obama to get the record straight.

I'm sure you might not catch on to some of my words or understand what i'm saying.

We are always wanting that desire to understand the world around us.

Sometimes we have to grow past those egotistical mindset of selfeshness

and that is not easy for alot of people, even for myself.

Sorry for your misunderstanding, and your harsh words.

I know how it feels sometimes with the human race and seeing all the horrible nightmares we create in people's lives.

Apparently we have to look at the positives that come out of people, instead of all the bad. WE are always focused on all the bad stuff.

Evolution is already taking place, and Old behavior patterns will fade away.

People need comfort, love, security, abundance, family, support and Most important: Freedom

@bigsteelguy -- Labels are just that, labels. you logic reminds me of Charles Mnason!

Your rambling on WITHOUT a complete understnad of the pyscholocil knowledge of the human nature.

What do we need?

FOOD

SHELTER

FUCKING

FUN in that order, how do we obtain those things?

That 'primitive' brian we have will ALWAYS bring us back to those 4 fundemental desires.

Sorry but Star Trek trading will never come to pass.

Some people are not capable or ready yet to understand what i'm talking about.

But in time,with more understanding and more learning, we will alll get it sooner or later.

We've been enslaved for a very long time and we are only free from what our own purchasing power allows us to be free in our current monetary system.

All people want pretty much the same thing at the core of they're heart.

They want life to be simple, abundant, peaceful, fun, enjoying, and Most importantly FREE

Sometimes we have to be open to new and incredible information that changes our old belief structures or conditioning from our environment.

[bigsteelguy]

We are only advocating a new direction of living in a new world global community, without boundries, without money, without military, without laws, without ownership, without crime, without prisons, without politics, without government, and without borders and artificial lines and divisions.

The Whole idea of the Zeitgeist is just to educate and spread awareness of a Positive direction for humanity, not about having some world power controlling and enslaving everyone.

[bigsteelguy]

However you want to Label things that is fine, apparently we label too many kind of systems instead of actually looking into what these systems really are. IF you take away the Labels you still have people in a current monetary system of barter, trade, and porfit.

It's about looking at the root causes of our daily problems not by looking at some Label, Leader, or system to save any body.

People need to be they're own leaders, they're own teachers, they're own students.

@bigsteelguy -- NOW your talking about being a Confusist "kind old men doing good for the sake of doing good".

"Ideal Marxist" is an attempt to do this, BUT after you factor in the greedy nature of humans. "Republic" is the BEST solution to self governing.

HOWEVER, in the current republic, there is NO punishment for crooked politicians.

Ultimatly, what your eluding to (wether you know it or not) is indeed the second coming of christ - a "benevolent dictatorship".

[bigsteelguy]

It's About intelligently managing the earth's resources to balance them around the planet to all the people of the world.

The only reason we can't see this now is because our minds are stuck in the old pattern way of thinking, that we are all disconnected from one another and the planet.
