For the first time, I am actually listening to the President! I am tracking him daily. He is leading in a way that lets me feel informed, respected and considered. I actually trust what he says! It is wonderful to have a person like this represent us and apply himself to shifting the greed and dishonesty that has been business as usual for so many years. Thank you Barack for having the courage, stability and willingness to tackle this job!

People truly dont understand what Obama is up against. Our country is run by corporations, special interest groups, various agencies shrouded in secrecy. They truly dont know how far we really are from democracy right now.

This one man is single handedly battling those forces for you guys. One man pretty much. How receptive have the other leaders been to the people. This one guy is actually listening and trying to deliver FOR the people. Support the guy.

Sorry to bust your bubble Obamanaut but he's a liar and you're too punch drunk to admit it. Why is he doing a press conference? He has a 2-1 majority in Congress and 60 Dem Senators? It's because over 50 Democrats aren't supporthing this dumb plan. He's increased our defecit by trillions, offers terrorists Miranda rights, hasn't even read his own bill, lied about stabilizing unemployment, continuing his handout drive and for what? His approval has dropped over 15 points. He's lost in space.

if u think thats more than many presidents accomplish in their entire term you obviously dont know jack about past presidencies.. btw that socialist stimulus package is "a way to hell." See Czech prime minister and other European leaders.

"what has he done thus far to be deemed outstanding...? "

Off the top of my head:

The Stimulus package

Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

S-chip

Stopping routine torture by US officals

Slowing mountain top removal mining

Resuming stem cell research

He's been in office two months. That's more than many presidents accomplish in their entire term.

If he spoke in favor of loving your mother and eating apple pie, the Republicans would come out against them.

They have completely fallen apart.

d0xit0,

There's no point in being resentful of his results on the bracket. Maybe he's just lucky. Every single time he does anything.

[gencoss]

he's cracking up

Obama keeps inviting Republicans and the public at large to contribute to the public discussion, and to offer constructive ideas and alternatives. An alternative budget has been asked for from Republicans several times, and what they've produced is criticism, naysaying and dissembling.
