Opinions on Obama

I'm just curious to know what the rest of the world thinks of Obama's first weeks in office. I will say I did not vote for him because of many reasons. And in about 6 weeks he has put our country further into debt (800 billion to be almost exact, thats more than the government has spent in 300 years) and has contributed to earmarks while thinking he is still on campaign, flying from city to city and wasting more tax payer's money. And hasn't said one word of encouragement to the American People. Now he is trying to destroy are greatest alliance by giving the PM DVDs, WTF??

I really just want to know what you guys think of him, because during the election I noticed that many non-americans were behind him, because they hated Bush (who's tax plan worked). I'm taking Political Science this semester and I'm interested, so inlighten me as to why you think he is so great.

I sorry for not being as updated as i should about foreign affairs, but just to add something to Obama's fail list, he invited the Jonas Brothers to the white house.
That is a HUGE insult to the music business as a whole, and the tax payers who listen to decent music.

hmmm, he is a complete dipshit.
His healthcare plan is a fail
he is a joke
America is dumb for choosing him
Democrats cannot run a country

i'll give him through his term to change my opinion, unless he is impeached first for failing so hard

i really don't like all the hype he gets, and how many people are behind him. I honestly just think he's getting attention just cuz he's black. And...that aint right

I don't care anymore...a presidents just a president to me, I don't think there are any politicians who can do alot of stuff right.

I don't think I know enough about this topic to voice out a full opinion but I like him because of some of the stuff he's got to offer (like stem-cell research for example).

we're 800 billion dollars in debt and everytime he releases a new bailout the stock market goes down, he is basically having a war with the elite and forgetting about the middle class. The stimulus bill he passed was like 700 pages long, did anyone in congress read it, NO. Its full of earmarks like dragonfly research and water parks. Yes we need to get the fuckers who scamed us out of billions, but so far the biggest scammer sits in his NY penthouse awaiting a confession deal that will cut his jail sentence down.

Not everything is completly his fault because the companies that are getting bailout money are still sending their ceo's to jamaica for vacation on first class private jets, which isn't helping. But he is to busy campaigning and being a celebrity with his road side merch stand, he forgets he is the president

I know he is doing SOME good things, guess I'm more interested in your thoughts about how he is handling the economy.

I was kinda like you Gib, I don't like any of them, but now that I know more about how everything works I get more involved, still don't like politics in general

you can only spend money in order for your country to make money. the real bastards you should be complaining about is the bankers. they are holding onto everything. they won't let anyone have a loan and that is whats killing the economy. not Obama, not yo mama. the bankers.

and I thought I was the only one on this site that liked Bush and hates Obama.

and will everyone stop saying that people who dont like Obama are racists? (just talking in general life) I mean seriously, its getting annoying when I tell someone Obama is an idiot and they say "you're a racist".

I'm not a racist, I have black friends, brown friends, and FOUR COLOR TVs!
