Tell me what Obama done that was good for this country? and how much did it cost us?
Go for it Nvr2soon we all need a friend for this one....
Darkly Dreaming Dex --- yeah still blaming Bush ,,,what new ..
oh my goodness how did Bill do that by cutting our military 790,000 troops and under Clinton. The active-duty military totaled 1.8-million at the start of his presidency in 1993 and declined to 1.4-million in 2000. They are also correct that the naval fleet shrank dramatically. The Navy had 454 ships in 1993, but as vessels were retired and not replaced, the fleet was down to 341 by 2000. and you wonder why we have to call out our National Guard and Reserve units

No a thing. Billions just in interest alone and inflation is soon to follow.

First off, anyone who says Obama has done anything bad, is delusional. 8 years of G.W.Bush put us here. And for the record, Obama has got the economy fairly stable since G dubs. It is going to be a long time before the economy is back to what it was, there isn't much more that can be done with it besides buyer confidence. I'm not sure on the cost of it all but our country is in debt to China, but again, that's not his fault. Everyone thinks they can blame Obama for our country's problems without realizing, "Hey, he's only been President for 9 months!" which really isn't enough time to have changed the world. Right now they are pushing the health care reform, which is well worth some research into.
"Reject the premise that if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through to those below. The truth is just the reverse. If you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find i...ts way up through every class which rests upon them."
-William Jennings Bryan
And regarding the economy, try this fact on for size. Back in 2000 when Bill Clinton left office, our country had a 260 Billion Dollar surplus. After George Bush left, we were in debt 14 Trillion dollars. Its not Obama's fault.

You can say what you want. But you are all ignorant fools. Try to have an open mind about things. As far as me blaming Bush, HE DESERVES IT!
Within days of 9/11/01 and the terrorist attacks George W. Bush addressed the nation and made it clear that America would “find and punish those terrorists responsible for the terrorist attacks.” It is a well known fact that Osama Bin Laden was directly behind these attacks, HE funded them and HE supported them…HIS money trained the terrorists.
And who cares if Bill Clinton cut military spending. In fact, I'm all for the cutting of military spending. That's why our debt is so ridiculously high! The pointless war in Iraq chasing after nonexistant WMD's! And we wanted to go after Bin Laden, who we knew was in Afghanistan! Its so messed up. If we cut our military spending by 1/4th, all public school teachers would make over 100k a year. That's something worth investing in right there.
I'm not saying Obama's the greatest President ever, because he hasn't done anything. But for Christ's sake, give him a chance. Stop being so ignorant. And please rate me down, because I know for a fact that what is popular isn't always right, and what is right isn't always popular.

I am wondering about his recent meeting with the dictator of Libya. Obama shook hands with that creature. I would like to ask him if the mans hands were still sticky from the blood of those Americans on Flight 103.
