For those of you who voted for President Obama...?

Question

What are your thoughts, now that he is the acting President? Is he living up to your expectations? Is he perhaps exceeding them, or do you find yourself less enchanted now that the fever has died down somewhat? In other words, what is your opinion so far on what he has done, the decisions he has made, etc?

Answer 1

I knew exactly how he'd handle the presidency, just like a big government loving bureaucratic liberal. I'm not surprised one bit.



Although I did fit it rather shady that his mantra was "change" and that he'd get away from "business as usual" Washington politics and all the insiders there. And yet, his entire cabinet is full of "business as usual" Washington insiders. With some having very questionable tax problems and associations that are considered a conflict of interest.



Btw, I didn't vote for the Messiah.

Answer 2

On a scale of a million-10 to what quantity is Obama in the present day to blame for: a million) Our u . s . is headed for a super melancholy? 2) Healthcare is going to be Nationalized. (won't manage to be to blame for what has no longer yet occured). 3) weapons would be banned? (won't manage to be to blame for what has no longer yet occured). 4) the standard public of individuals are experiencing paycuts or unemployment? provide materials on your rant and evidence of your claims.

Answer 3

He is off to a tremendous stsart in taking this country to new depths in moralism , the national debt , and the biggers , stinkinest PORK budget to ever be sent before congress , and he has even tried to censure what and whom people could listen to on Talk Shows and has even threatened those who would not go along with everything Potentate Obama decreed . Yep he is definitely on his way to trashing America completely and forever .

Answer 4

It seems to me that he is working actively on the economy. I get bunch of emails from him that inform me about what he is doing. I am sure he can take us out from this economic crisis and I don’t worry about it although it is hard for me to find the second job to support my family but I think he will get it back.

The other issue for me is very important and he didn’t take on it yet but promised to do. So I will wait and see if he does what he promised and if I was wrong on him or not. I believe I did the right choice and won’t be disappointed.

Answer 5

Wow, excited people are starting to say 'president Obama' rather than just Obama. He is our leader - use the proper title when talking to and about him.

Answer 6

You are right...he IS "acting" (as you pointed out) as a president but failing miserably. He is the worst president ever. He is bankrupting the U.S. while lining the pockets of all those that literally gave him the position. So sad!

Answer 7

@Reality who posted above. Wow, didn't know he did all that. O.O



He's been doing great in my opinion and has extended his hand to the other side in order to get some common consensus. Already better than Bush in every aspect.

Answer 8

for those who voted 4 mccain know that he's was going 2 do the same thing bush did 2 us.



Mccain agrees 90% with bush.



bush/mccain<<

Answer 9

I can't vote yet, so this exclude me. I say he's lived up to one expectation, and that was making Clinton sec. of state.

Answer 10

I did not vote for him! OBOZO is trying to spread his communist manifesto to the unsuspecting lemmings. Sell out your country for a liberal agenda?

Answer 11

He is not the "acting President" - he is the President.



And it is early - but yes he is living up to expectations.

Answer 12

I think its barely two weeks since he took office. I also think folks on the Right are crazy to make so many rabid claims against him. Its WAY too early to know what affect his policies will actually have on anything.

Answer 13

I did NOT vote for him and would NOT vote for him. He is already doing things that I hate........like authorizing abortions and gay rights, and making government so big it will swallow us up...........May God in Heaven have mercy on this nation.

Answer 14

it is only like 2 weeks..let's try to be patient..change isn't going to be instantaneous...
