What grade would you give Obama so far any why?
I give him a "B". He acted on the economy quickly and is going to get us health care. Those are great things. He's finally taxing the rich their fair share to help the rest of us. That's a great thing. I am concerned about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I thought since he closed Gitmo and banned torture he would stop the war. He's even giving the detainees a fair trial. That's all great too. But he promised to stop the war and now he's sending 50,000 troops to Afghanistan. Plus he said he would withdraw troops from Iraq in 19 months but now says he'll leave 35000-50000 troops there to train the Iraqis. I wish he would take all the troops out. He's gonna cause another 9/11 if he doesn't leave the Muslims alone! Haven't we learned our lesson from 9/11 and Bush? So over all, I give him a "C" plus an extra letter for affirmative action. Total grade = B
17 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAre you happy with Obama so far? What grade would you give him?
I am for the most part. I am excited about universal health care. I make about $500 a week. After rent and my bills, it would be difficult to afford it on my own. My employer does not provide it. It would cost me about $150 a month to buy it. Then I couldn't take out my girl or go out to clubs. Plus I am happy that he is taxing the rich. I think if everyone had about the same we'd all be happier. I am disappointed he is not pulling out of Iraq as soon as possible. Plus he said he was keeping 35-50 thousand troops there after his so called pull out. Bring them all home and let Iraq police themselves! And I think to send more troops to Afghanistan is a mistake too. That will only make the Muslims dislike us even more. That will anger them and cause another 9/11. We bring these things upon ourselves by trying to police the world. But Obama is trying to reach out to the Muslims. I credit him on that. I was disappointed that we don't pressure China to end it's abuse of people. I guess cheap Wal-Mart goods are more important than the people of China. Overall I would give Obama a "B". He is tackling the economy and proposing universal health care. I'm upset with him continuing Bush's war and not putting enough pressure on China. I would like to see open borders between the USA, MEXICO, and CANADA too. We need to bring the immigrants out of the shadows. Plus it would diversify our culture.
16 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoDo you feel a $500-$1000 hand out to illegal immigrants is good?
The $819 billion dollar stimulus bill includes a provision to give illegals a tax credit. Of course they don't pay taxes, so it's a hand out.

Seems like it to me now that he is closing Gitmo.

4 AnswersOther - Internet1 decade agoHas Christmas celebrations become disrespectful to other religions or atheists/agnostics?
The open celebration and commercialization. I know if I was a non Christian I may feel over whelmed by all the displays. President Obama said that we are no longer just a Christian nation. Should we act like it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmC3IevZiik
9 AnswersChristmas1 decade agoWhat do Buddhists believe in?
Christians have God. The Muslims have Allah. Hindu's have several gods. Do Buddhists have an actual god or do they pray to Buddha the man?
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWhy do some religions try to "spread the word" while others keep to themselves?
Some churches like the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses spend a great deal of time to convert others. While other churches such as the Amish or Mennonites try to keep to themselves. But they all claim to be Christian. So what does Jesus want? Salesman or hermits?
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoWho would win in a debate?
Mormon missionaries vs Jehovah Witness door knockers? I would see this one going on for some time. But eventually the Mormons would over power and convert the JW's. The Mormons have the advantage of more than one scripture while the JW's only have the Bible and Awake magazines from The Watchtower.

Are the people of Alaska that dumb? Not to be mean, but I don't know how she won. Was it just her good looks?
16 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoIf the Mormons are such good people, why did they massacre people?
I used to think the Mormons where great people because of their tv commercials. But I saw a movie with John Voight about a Mormon massacre. I didn't believe it was true until I looking it up on Wikipedia. I always thought the Mormons were chosen people like the Jews. Now I see they are like all the other Christians they claim to be better than.

12 AnswersSociology1 decade agoIs Obama anti-war after all?
One of the main reasons I supported Obama was his promise to bring the troops home. Now I read he's going to send between 20,000-30,000 more troops to Afghanistan by the summer. I don't understand why he would do this? Shouldn't he just bring everyone home like he promised?
14 AnswersElections1 decade agoIs someone born gay or is it something they decide to try?
With all the talk about gay marriage I became curious about the lifestyle. I have been going to a few open minded clubs and the people are all great. I want to take the next step, but I am nervous and excited all at once. I think what scares me most is if I don't like it, will I be able to live with myself?
8 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender1 decade agoCan a bisexual person have both a man and a wife?
Legal and married. I think if a person is bi, why must they choose a gender? This is American and they should be able to have both. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
