When will Obama supporters stop using the excuse "he just got elected?"?

Tell me about it. I read in the paper that a county near where i live wanted 100 million dollars included in a requested stimulus package to build a golden statue of him! Are we serious? I get it, hes black... but he's basically gone back on every word he used during the election to get elected. Not one member of congress knew what was in the stimulus package, or cared to read it. Not loaded with pork? I think so... and before you go defending him have any of YOU even bothered reading what that money went towards! Go read it than tell me if you feel the same. ALSO, since he has been elected we have dropped 20% further into the hole.

I just noticed someone said something about stem cells. THAT pisses me off. Obama made it legal, rather wants to make it legal to harvest stem cells from babies. DEAD ABORTED BABIES. Do you know how old a dead aborted baby has to be for the stem cells to be viable? OLD ENOUGH TO LIVE ON LIFE SUPPORT. go **** yourself.

So yea and i totally don't want him to fail, because that's NOT what we need. I just want him to STOP being treated like he's god or something. I understand it takes time, but his rushing and packing money into businesses it doesn't belong isn't helping anyone. That's just my opinion.

I know that I won't get a thumbs up, more so a best answer for my answer. but I have to concede to the fact that the politics divide in the U.S. right now is really great.

One side wants him to succeed and another wants him to fail; both at no expense or reason at all.

I am not an American and is therefore supposed to be neutral, which I am. From my point of view Zachs was right. He needs more time. Actually, as with any other past presidents who were judged poorly during their time, historians had been more considerate after reviewing That president's performance from a distant viewpoint.

It is understandable for a citizen to be impatient during a crisis to demand instant cure. But even economists from all sides of the spectrum agree that for the economy to turn around requires understanding of the fundamentals of the problem, the willingness to participate in a reconstructive process to counteract the prevailing trend, and the resolve to go on with business notwithstanding the facts. And they all agree that this takes time; however, they didn't all declare how much time it requires. I tip my hat to all economists because of their bold predictions but lack of courage to give a deadline.

The fact being that the economy, not only the U.S.'s but of the entire world, is at stake. So jump-starting the U.S. economy is not only an American expectation but also that of the entire world.

Now, to your question when supporters will stop justifying that "he just got elected?". I think we should also consider the fact that detractors are also justifying their criticisms because of the slow results than that they were expecting.

I am curious, if he were successful in his less than two months in office, what excuses would his detractors think of next?

Just a thought and I'm not going for points.

I hope that this is a legitimate intellectual exchange and not a biased questioned posed to incite readers into reacting.

AMEN......You are my hero!!! You took the words right out of my mouth. I am so sick and tired of all the Obama maniacs out there that say "oh give him time, he has a lot to undo since Bush screwed up so bad". I say name ONE thing that Bush screwed up...and don't say the war with IRAQ because personally that is nothing more than standing up for the rights of our nation. If we did not send troops over there then the Taliban would have certainly succeeded in destroying this nation piece by piece and we know they can do serious damage just take a look at the footage for 9-11 incase you have forgotten.

At the rate we are going. This nation faces a second Civil War. What is going to be left for our children after Obama has had his spending spree? How do you propose we educate the leaders of tomorrow with budget cuts in the schools today? Sure....all you Obama followers can say "give him some time" but what are you going to do when that time he has been given puts you on skid row? All this money he is giving to major corporations and banks could be used elsewhere, like in the pockets of the American People. People are losing jobs daily and Obama has already spent over $3 Trillion Dollars. Is that BUSH's fault??? NO, He was not in office when that debt was incurred and it is the largest debt incurred in history and in only a matter of 50 days!!!!! WOW!!! Now that is some change folks!!!! So lets start hearing some real facts. We're tired of all the excuses.

It's been about 2 months. I suppose you have a date as to when the economy would have came back around were we to do nothing. The answer? Probably a decade, maybe much longer. Obama's just offering cushioning from the federal government to make the recession hit less hard. Economics after all, measures time, and you seem to think that 2 months is enough. You also obviously haven't had that much to drink, because your judgment of Barkley's BAC is quite incorrect, and also irrelevant, sort of like your assumption that they are good friends (where'd you get that idea?) If you don't see a difference between Obama and Bush, you aren't reading enough. See: Stem Cells and Gitmo.

Until Obama Leaves Office 1411Days

Anyone that knows a single ounce about politics knows it takes time. You can't expect the economy to be fixed in the 2 months he has been office, or a significant change. When a law is passed it still takes time for the effects of the law to take place. This is why it takes many years for things to effect the economy. Clinton started the downward spiral of the economy and he was in office more than 8 years ago. Patience is needed in politics. You will start seeing changes in time.

Give em about 3 and 1/2 years or so to get their bearings. Probably when all their social programs are fully funded and implemented off the backs of the taxpayer.

You all on the right used the same argument when 9/11 occurred. You said, Bush was a newly elected president. I just love the rights hypocrisy and double standards.

I'm guessing 2126 give or take a few years.

Come on, Obamabots don't believe it's possible for Obama to make a mistake.. so they'll never hold him accountable for what he's doing to the country.

Proof of whether or not Obama's economic proposals are working won't be available for about a year or two.

If you want to stop hearing the "he just got elected" excuse, stop demanding instant results. He hasn't even been president for 100 days, the amount of time typically needed to judge how a president is and will perform.
