All I see he has done is try to create an expanded version of medicare and a bunch of "czars" answerable soley to him?

He has enormously expanded the national debt.
He has done nothing for the environment.
Where is his promised tax cut for the middle class?
Are we out of Iraq or Afghanistan? Last I checked he was EXPANDING our presence in Afghanistan.
What has he done about unemployment?
What has he done to stop the outsourcing of American jobs to other countries?
He has an overwhelming majority in both houses of congress, he has no excuse.

Welcome to George W Bush the sequal

No, but we at least should see some of the "change" that was promised. All I see is more of the same.

You're asking a question here, yet worded as a statement. Care to expand on this?

You're right, the quesgtion mark was a typo, it should have been a period.

If you've been following Obamacare you'd know by now it's medicare on steroids.

As for his czars, you can read all about them here

I will give Obama credit for one thing...he did throw billions of borrowed taxpayer dollars at the banking sector with which bank executives paid themselves huge bonuses and did nothing to stimulate the economy. Oh wait, that happened under Bush as well.

whoa whoa whoa.

okay, first of all. the president of the united states can do much greater things i.e. more public and dramatic in the foreign policy arena because he is the "commander-in-chief". this should sound familiar - a lot of what bush is remembered for is inappropraite foreign policy - like starting a war that was not only unecessary, but uneccessary because the government lied to to its people about the reason for starting it. lack of wmd's, anyone?

secondly, if the president wants something to happen in the domestic law of the united states, he can't just POOF it into being. that's why we have a house and senate. if he could just poof things better, we would have a dictator - and that's not good.

so for example we have a health bill passed, and obama wanted a different health benefits system for the us.

but that 'want' had to be written into bill form, and then discussed in the house and senate - where there are people who will be strongly opposed to what the bill says and people who will like what it says - but ultimately the bill doesn't pass until both of these categories are happy.

this is how a health bill that seems even more beneficial to insurance companies comes through the system.

really, one of the only things the president of the united states can change, is his behavior. and as a symbol of america, if he is diplomatic and doesn't believe in waving war around like a threat *ahem ahem bush?* then what happens is that other countries think better of america because our symbol is better.

like... when obama bowed to the japanese emperor. that, although it seems to be a small gesture, is quite large in its effect. he bowed to the emperor because he knew that, as a foreign dignitary being hosted by another foreign dignitary, he should respect their customs.

so what the world sees is a president who is willing to work together with, rather than tromple all over, other countries. the little things that get reported and talked about until overanalyzation deprives them of any sort of meaning - these little things the president does - they ARE major changes.

learn the bill to law system, study everything the president's responsible for - and what he's not responsible for - and you might reconsider your ultimate decision that obama's to blame for EVERYTHING.

nono, his comparison was to Obama being the continuation of Bush. Given he voted for McCain, shouldn't that mean he is happy rather than just looking for something to quibble about in a partisan nature?

Yup, that's the way things work with people. If things aren't going good, just blame the one in charge and work to get someone completely different who will no doubt be better. Then when things aren't going well under him, suddenly this new leader who was supposed to be so great is not good and the previous leader is looking better and better the further away we get from the time when he was the leader and everyone hated him.

Debt when Obama took office: $10.6 trillion.

Total Obama debt created: $1.39

Total Bush debt created: $4.9 Trillion.

Obama has quite a bit to go to catch up to Bush. Bush is the worst spender(President) in US History.

I don't think debt should be created, no matter what. I think our government is MUCH too fat and much too big. We should be getting rid of programs, not creating more.

Having said that, Obama needs to bring back his spending in the next year or two, and even have a surplus. That's what I'd like to so. However, that's definitely not in Democrat politics. I don't expect much.

Yes he has. Quite a bit, actually.

Not to mention all of the talks he's undertaken with other nations about getting the rest of the world on the same page of clean energy. He just took a trip to China and that was a topic of discussion.

I could have sworn there was more involved than just spending, such as job creation legislation...but, other than money related legislation, nothing is coming to mind.

Problem with Obama is that he has such a rock star status - this is not healthy for someone who is supposed to lead a very powerful nation.

That and the fact that after promising ''change'' he went and employed into his administration people who have been in charge of America for ages.

Not true. I'm not a Republican. I was glad to see Bush leave as well. I rarely vote for major party candidates and I didn't vote for mcCain as much as I voted against Obama.

I think Hillary lost nomination, even though in my opinion she's far more competant than Obama, because she was seen as part of the old guard, the Washington establishment (which admittedly is true).

People wanted something fresh and new. My whole question in this thread is....do they think they got that ?

Bush spent 4.9 trillion over 8 years. If obama gets re-elected, and there's that many blind people in the world who thinks he will do some sort of change crap in 7 more years, and continues at this rate, he will have spent 11 trillion dollars.

also, at least bush had the balls to try and do something with all that power and money. Don't see any "change" happening with obama, for all that money.

I most certainly did not say that Obama wasn't spending a bunch of money. Just pointing out that Obama has quite a bit to go before he reaches Bush levels. And, if you read my post, you'd see that I do not like spending and, in fact, we should be reducing our spending.

Look, dude, I am not a big fan of government either, definitely not excess spending. Like I elaborated, my point was not that I am happy with Obama spending that much, but that it won't stop the economy from recovering. Perhaps it slowed it down, but it did probably make the lives of a lot of people a bit better than they would have been otherwise.

And although I do think that free economics and little government control is in most cases preferable to the overall good, I can't help but lately feel sympathy for people in misery and also feel glad that to some extend the social network of my country insures me that even if I should be struck by misfortune I would not hit rock bottom.

Obama hasn't even been in office for a year yet, so in my opinion it's too soon to tell what positive or negative affects he's had as the President. I'm glad I voted for him and that he became the President, because if he didn't, then I'd always wonder what could have been. I'm giving the guy some time before I judge his performance. So far he seems very active and very personable. He has a lot to learn, but that is okay. He'll learn from his mistakes and that will make him a better President.

That's debatable. You might be right, but there's really no way to tell.

What I do know is some of the stimulus money went to pay executive bonuses when not one penny should have.

I am not sure what you are referring to. We will see in the next few months/years whether it will recover (it will). If you mean whether some it did protect some people from extreme misery, then yeah, that is not certain, I just find it likely.

I do agree with that.

If debt keeps increasing at that rate, Obama debt will be up to 11.12 trillion at the end of his second term... assuming he gets elected again... and he probably will...

Frankly? No, but I don't think the economy will be improving greatly anytime soon, and I also believe that Obama will continue to spend at a comprable rate. I also believe that he will be at Bush's level in 2011 at the earliest and 2012 at the latest. But, who knows. I could be wrong, I will be quite satisfied if I am. I'm not one of those Republicans who is salivating at the prospect of Obama's failure, If he can pull us out of this (without causing a great hit to our freedoms), more power to him. smile

Great. Not to be a tad rude, but, do you have anything to add that I already haven't said? (Everything you just said is the same as what I said, with more numbers and more words.) I just wanted to point out that despite Obama's total spending (not record, if inflation is taken into account, which it should.), still is not the same as Bush's. He did say that his overall goal is to balance the budget while mentioning that he would have to spend money to dig out of this economic crisis before he could start focusing more on fiscal policy.



This does not change, however, my distaste for big government and mega-spending. I still disagree with it.

Yes, I would have preferred some of the businesses fail, some to consolidate, on other's to be liquidated/sold piece by piece to other organizations. Sure, "my" way would have taken longer to recover from, but in 5 years, "my" way would have created a stronger and more stable market. We'd also have "hard learned lessons" which would be more likely to stave off something similar to this. My way would have also included a tad more regulation from the government. My way would create a much more steady growth rate, not this up and down explosive B.S. we are seeing now. After 5-7 years, my way would result in better economic growth BECAUSE: stability breeds predictability and trust in that predictability. That's what the government is trying to artifically do now. It's not working even remotely as well as they wanted. Sure, we are seeing improvements...but how much of that is the market self-righting and how much of that is government intervention?

If you haven't noticed, I prefer regulation over intervention....by a lot.



Sometimes, I can sound every bit like a conservatard. Other times, a libtard.


But, by all means, everyone go to town on my idea of better regulation with little to no intervention. Maybe I'm just a stupid shortsighted idiot. I'm more than happy to learn.
