Isn't Mr. Obama the best President we had in a long time?

Do you at least think he's doing a better job than Bush? Who got us in this mess in the fist place?

    First off Bush was not entirely responsible for getting us into this mess. Liberals conveniently forget that both houses of Congress were controlled by the Dems. The Speaker of the House voted Yes to Mr. Bushs proposals.

    O'blahblahblahblah Ma is going to ruin this country. He is so far to the left that he makes Karl Marx look Conservative. I bet he will try to change the Constitution so that he can become El Presidente for life, grow a Castro beard and make citizens pledge allegiance to him.

    Wow! That's a loaded question. If you consider a President who doesn't miss a chance to get his face on TV, spends a bunch of money flying himself and his wife,in separate jets no less, to try to get the Olympics in Chicago, dishonors a police officer for doing his job by calling his actions "stupid", saying he will put his health care bill on C-Span and then holds the meetings behind closed doors, etc.etc a good president, you are surely from another planet.

    He is if your liberal, do your home work before you pass the blame on bush. Democrats had control of the house and senate since 2007. Every one in the government is to blame for the mess our country in. Obama was against tarp cause he said speeding the future generations in to debt was wrong. Wait He took half of the 700 billion in tarp. Almost 900 billion in his failed stimulus. Trillion in Obama care and a second stimulus.

    No and he is becoming worse than former president Jimmy " Hamas is not a terrorist group" Carter.

    And just to let you know I lived through those times and know this for a fact!

    Absolutely not. The Democrats have not fared well since taking over Congress and all of the spending in January of 2007, have they?

    I think he's doing a great job. I don't know why people try to blame the economy on Obama when the recession started during Bush's presidency. Obama is working on fixing it. It doesn't happen over night.

    obama enters his second term with one of the lowest approval ratings of the last 50 years. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/nation/6819...

    so no.... he definitely isnt one of the best we had in a long time. as far as i cant tell he really hasnt accomplished anything he promised in the last year.

    Bush Senior was the best. Despite unpopular taxes, he left the position with this nation with a surplus for the first time. And now it is down the drain thanks to Obama and Bush Jr.

    I don't judge a pitcher after the first game he starts and I sure as hell don't judge a president after being in office for only a year.
