Repubs and Conservatives is Obama not the President of the United States?
What's up with all the thumbs down. I just don't see the logic behind it.
Could you please explain you reasons?

Though people say that Bush was treated way worse, Bush actually did a ton of stupid stuff (i.e. accidentally invading the wrong nation, waterboarding/torture, countless tax loopholes for the wealthiest 1%, the list goes on) and earned his ridiculing. Obama hasn't even been President for 24 hours and people hate him. He hasn't enacted a single policy yet, or signed a bill.
I'm not sure who deserves more bad feelings toward him. I'll leave that up to you.

I think it's because we feel that he was elected by people based on their feelings and not based on any sort of research into the candidates. mind you we didn't like either choice and it was more about voting for the person that would least hurt the country. McCain is as liberal as they come and why Palin would have been great in the wings (you probably just caught the SNL indepth review). The people that voted for Obama generally don't ever even open a newspaper and certainly don't bother to look at both sides of the story. I'm almost agreeing that there should be a civics and economics test to pass before you are allowed to vote. I mean look around. Education is in the dumper, government is out of control. Yep it's both dems and reps doing it but it's a matter of degrees of risk. McCain is less risky. This is what would bring this nation back (note some of the liberal aspects of this)
Slash government by half and eliminating the capital gains tax. Then legalize drugs, build a fence.. no two (with a no mans land), start deporting persons here illegally, start drilling like a mad man for oil, natural gas and coal, build a few nuclear reactors to begin processing hydrogen, tell the UN "YOU HANDLE IT THEN", stop sending our money to foreign lands, tell Iran to back off the enrichment of uranium or else, tell Hugo Chavels to take a hike, tell California that as long as you keep doing stupid S%$* you aren't getting a penny from us, Get out of the education business, stop subsidizing farmers and green technologies and take the ethonol out of gasoline, sheez I could go on and on....

As a conservative, yes Pres. Obama is the president of the USA and MY President. All those who say otherwise are just like the idiots that said Pres. G. W. Bush wasn’t “their” president or that he should be charged for war crimes. They are just the other side of the same idiot coin. I did not vote for President Obama because of some of his policy positions, some of the same policies that he has changed his position on since meeting with Pres. Bush, but he is the President of the USA and I will pray for him, supporting him as I can and disagree with him when I disagree with him.
Don’t pay too much attention to those who nay say, most of them have drank the (Dems or Repubs) party Kool-aid and can’t see or accept what the President of the other party did or does right.
Keep an open mind and see the truth and not what is feed to you by the media.

I got a thumbs down for my answer too and I am conservative lol! People are blind to reality just like everyone thought that as soon as Mr. Obama was elected that it would fix everything immediately make it better and we wouldn't have to worry anymore people are ignorant and Ignorance is bliss right?

Mr B Hussein Obama is the President of the United States. Dissent and policy argument is essential to our national conversation. Mr Obama is preparing to enact, and has been a part of enacting over the past 4 months, policy that is in exact contradiction to my convictions. The Freedom of Choice Act will allow for fewer restrictions on the putting to death of unborn American children prior to birth, and (most disturbingly) at the moment of birth. The sacrifice of our troops in Iraq over these past few years will be all for naught as he is demanding a 16 month withdrawal, in the face of opposition from his commanders on the ground. Most importantly, capitalism and the free market have been threatened by the nationalization of business and the future nationalization of business that is already planned.
As a conservative, I believe in few taxes, small government, and free markets. Obama is openly opposed to these things, as he supports tax increases, saturation and enlargement of government through social welfare programs, and the dissolving of the free markets into governmental control.

Yes, he is. Remember that thumbs-down (or up for that matter) are really not all that important. There are much more pressing matters to expend your energy on. In other words, accept victory gracefully and be happy for a change. Thicker skin would probably help too.

He should not be
He just spent 150 million on his inauguration. He was not even in office 5 minutes. And he is BIG on spending no money on dumb things
but then all the democrats blame bush and war. To bad there idiots and do not understand that this is not a blame game for the previous president its proving a point that the new president has the same plans as bush. But just spending money quicker then him.

I didn't for for the charlatan, but he is my president. I will respect that and respect him. I won't believe anything he says until he does what he says. So far, I believe he will spend us into oblivion.
Let's all hope for a quick 4 years.

Well why then was it ok for all the thumbs down for Bush? So it was ok for all of you to criticize him but we all should love Obama just because he is now the new President? Gee, that's calling the kettle black isn't it.
