Has Obama came through?

[HighspdGorilla]

I'm talking from a very moderate standpoint. I swing right, I swing left..depends on the issue. I can say I am extremely dissatisfied with Obama as President so far and I can only foresee it getting worse. First off, Obama HAS to stop praising himself with covered numbers. If you dig deep enough you can find ways he enshroudes facts with "ifs" and "buts".

How can you tell critics to "get out of my administrations way" like some sort of savior when his 9.4% unemployment rate doesn't count people who have failed at obtaining a job and have have lost incentive (a very large amount) nor the people who have had to settle for a part time job. If you dig deep enough in Obama's pile of dukie you can find that the most recent number given by Labor Department survey of employers is 16.3%
Your promise of providing jobs so far is looking terrible.

Health Reform:
I'm pretty sure we can all agree that this bill is a absolute joke. Insurance is something that motivates people to be successful. It put's the disabled and elderly last on the medical benefits.

Cash for clunkers:
Another "test" program of Obama's to "stimulate" the economy with very short term benefits. We will see the damage down the road.

Foreign Policy:
An obvious failure. The Muslim word loves us now. Since he took office terrorist threats have doubled (look it up). Good job there.

National Debt:
Obama's programs are estimated to cost 1 trillion dollars. As much as bush spent as 4 years as President even in war. Why? Wouldn't you try anything not to look like an idiot after promising a end to this recession caused by fellow democrat and husband of Hillary Clinton and his retarded subprime lending push on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

He needs to stop beating around the bush and give us the facts. And for god sake speak words from your own mouth and not a teleprompter.

Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

in 4 years when his first term is done, I'll give him a grade

[matias pecile]

has the president who's only been in office for about 6 months come through?

I don't know because he's only been in office for 6 months and the problems he is combating took almost two decades to develop and will take a lot longer than 6 months to resolve

That will probably be much too soon also. I think its fair to ask if he's delivered on some of his campaign promises - whether he got certain legislation passed, programs started or ended etc - because those are generally simple questions of fact rather than opinions of how successful those actions were or were not. And even then its probable a bit early to say he has or has not delivered. I'm no damn fan of his politics but its his job to do as he sees fit and he deserves some breathing room to try to get shit done. Not seeing how its helpful in any sense (other than polling) to ask these questions just as yet.

I think I may be just getting older but hating the man isn't going to help. I bet you haven't written your senator or congressman expressing your dissatisfaction.

Ehhh it's been about a decade since these problems have evolved. In 1997 Clinton pushed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to start sub prime lending. You'll hear otherwise but even Times a slightly liberal based publisher wrote a article on how it starting with Clinton not Bush. Just thought i'd clear that up real fast because people always think it's bush when it's not. I wouldn't say he's the worse president in U.S. History. I would say Jimmy Carter hands down takes that one.

I just wrote Ron Paul who is over our district a couple days ago. Also have wrote Kay Bailey Hutchinson. So yea I've wrote a couple.

His "Ghetto" side is starting to come out more now that he is getting more comfortable in office.

the question arises, what background educationally to you have to evaluate presidental terms?
