Are most Americans obsessed with Barack Obama?

Question

Everybody seems to feel very strongly about him. Some worship him, others hate his guts. But very few people are indifferent when it comes to Obama.

You agree?

Answer 1

many people feel that as the first non-white American President he will bring a lot of change, the people who hate him tend to be falling into several camps - the ones who are concerned that his policies will cost the nation a lot for years with a series of ill thought out initiative's which will ultimately result in the tax payer being burdened by higher and higher taxes. To the ones who object to him simply because he is black. The thing is he won the election on a greater mandate than George W Bush ever did and there was very high expectations for him his award of the nobel peace prize was one which many felt was either premature or inappropriate as he was a President of a company involved in one war which is running down that cost the lives of thousands of American soldiers and another that has dragged on due more to the previous administrations lack of foresight, many observers both of the left and right feel that he has not come up with the goods to justify such an award as he may through trying to keep the electorate sweet do something that would make the a war in Afghanistan worse or result in America being caught in a war for years to come simply because too little was done decisively. President Nixon had a similar dilemma when he took to office and his actions most certainly resulted in the Vietnam war being protracted and America's ultimate defeat and it is this that many people are concerned about will Barrack Obama leave Afghanistan to the next incumbent as a poisoned chalice of a humiliating defeat or a success.

Answer 2

Yes, I agree, most Americans are obsessed with either worshiping or hating him.



Obama was on the cover of more magazines than the other candidates and he was on Rolling Stones like he was a rock star. The media continued to praise him and knock the other candidates. Hillary Clinton pointed out the unfairness of the debates that gave Obama the advantage.



Others keep spreading anti-Obama messages on bumper stickers, emails, and forums such as this. Some of it is anti-sitting president which was common in the Clinton and Bush eras, but I do not remember seeing as much as I see about Obama now. The heavy critique against Clinton did not start until after an affair became publicly known and it grew as more affairs became known and after the proof came out that proved he lied under oath. With Bush, the heaviest critique was with the beginning of the wars and it grew as they wars went on and still no WMD's were found, and Bush continued to defend the war on that apparently bad intelligence and the other weaker basis. With Obama, the critique began immediately and has not let up. Some emails about Obama are inquisitive about his origins, but even some of that adds hateful lies or insults.



The obsession has spread across America's borders with the media showing other countries celebrating Obama's election. Then Obama won a peace prize right after getting elected as president. His achievements at that point were promises to shift most of the troops from Iraq to Afghanistan, to delay trials for prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and to transfer those prisoners elsewhere.
