President Barack Obama?

(I didn't vote) but I'm a neutral between Democrats and Republican so i don't take sides. Anyways on the news i heard that he is starting to fall into the worst president category, many Democrats starting to turn against him and stuff like that. What I don't get is people who favors him would say "United states was already in a mess when he became president, and now he got that mess so its not his fault and he is really trying to fix it". As for me, I think USA was getting better, College money was the same as always, gas money reduced, jobs was alvailable..etc, but now i can't even find a job that pays minimum wage. My point is, i don't think America was a mess when he got elected, the economy was starting to improve, but fot the past few months everything starting to go down, is he really working hard? maybe he is...but i don't see it..we' in more debt, people are losing jobs, school shutting down, and hes worrying about health w/e?. I don't think hes going to accomplish anything if he focus on too many things at once...n he doesn't seem to care how much money he spends...It's ridiculous. Ok, sorry about my grammar but i would love to see other's opinion on Obama's work so far and did u regret on ur vote for him? u r glad that u didn't vote for him ? or Thank God u voted for him?

Update:

when i said i didn't vote it's because i was under 18 when the election took place. I'm however, 18 now...so please don't bash on me when u don't know the reason, 2ndly w/e i said about obama is what i think of him..my opinion so plz respect that...and i will of course in return respect your opinion.

    Wow. And I thought I wrote LONG answers....

    one thing is completely normal.. all of us will define what is "going on" by what we personally are experiencing. I could be out of a job in the best economy in the world. YOU could be doing great when people are dying in the streets.

    The trick is to stand back and look at the big picture, AND be able to see it from some kind of long term thing. For me.. that is looking from the 60s/70s, and seeing a massive crash coming, back then. You also have to realize that there are what are called "indicators".. ie the unemployment rate, interest rates, so forth..which look at that big picture.

    I will agree that he is juggling many issues, and that makes it hard. One thing I will NOT do is say that he caused the problems.. and I don't fault Bush, Clinton, etc. I think the mess is way bigger than just one political party.

    I think there will continue to be problems.. NO MATTER HOW GOOD he is.. but people expecting him to "fix" things, and they won't get what they expect. That makes him something of scapegoat. Getting blame, no matter what. That does not mean I agree with all his decisions. It means I take a middle of the road. I DO NOT think McCain would have been any better.. probably worse.

    There are a lot of issues hitting him in the face. And I will not deny that some amount of racism is PART of it..not all. Some persons would hate him, no matter what.

    I dont regret voting for him. I just wish to God that people would be more rational and open minded. Some of the negative things, in my thinking.. will become "self fulfilling prophesies".

    ABOVE EVERYTHING... I am sick to death of Americans taking such hateful sides about what is happening.

    (bytheway.. when I said long, it was about the first answer. And yeah.. I stuck to form anyway)

    Your right on the money! No I didn't vote for him. Clips of the Rev Wright's, the Obama spiritual adviser, sermons did for me, Pretty far off the chart of reasonable productive thinking. I mean how can you run a country if you have no ability to identify a hate monger and a wack job to the point where you would allow him associate and influence your family

    I mean, I who am nobody really, but I would walk right out of a church where the pastor raved on and on about how terrible black peoples were. My children attended a Sunday school where the Sunday choir sang "Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world Red and Yellow, Black and White they are precious in his sight" .

    Elections have consequences, and we're dealing with that now.

    Dems were far to preoccupied with how "lost in the wilderness" the GOP was, and now the state is falling apart on them.

    We're going to be in a big mess for a while.

    In fairness to Obama, Bush was a disaster and left a mess. However, Obama has taken the mess and turned it into a catastrophe of monumental proportion. The spending must stop and Obama will not stop on his own.

    You don't vote, therefore your opinion is completely irrelevant to any American political discussion.

    If you can't take the time to make an informed decision for your country, then please shut up.
