    All communists like to think that they know what's best for everyone else. Obama is no different that any other communist. The change is for the worse. Hope all the Obama supporters are happy. America is in deep trouble.

    I do not believe that he is the messiah. I don't believe in a messiah in the first place though so take that for what it's worth. All that "messiah" crap is just conservatives who are trying to be mocking and divisive.

    I do believe that his plans are good.

    No he is not the Messiah, he is president.

    I approve of many of his policies and disagree with some others.Overall I think he is doing well.

    If you define "government control" to mean health care reform: Yes. If you mean better regulation of the financial market: Yes again.

    If you mean "death panels" and FEMA reeducation camps, those are just fairy tales told to fans of hate radio.

    No, the Messiah business is strictly a Republican phenomenon. And yes, many of his policies will improve the US and our lives here.
