"and on the relationship with the rest of the world (i can only speak for western europe really), it has been improved."
Couldn't possibly get worse, but its not like he's the new Messiah. Public opinion in EU likes him more then bush, but popular is big word. And the big leaders like him less. His approach to the Arabic world has failed, same counts for Jews.

His lack of strong reaction to North African uprisings is astonishing. He lost all credit as a defender of democracy world wide.

Using US's popularity worldwide as one of his primal achievements points out what his other failures looks like. Einstein is right.

There is one promise that he did achieve though, so lets not discredit him that much. He brought change. Remember his big campaign slogan of how he was gonna bring change, well he did. Only problem is that his "change was for the worst," he brought negative change. The only positive change he brought is the amount of change in my pockets, because everything cost so much I don't have any bills all i have is change.

After the absolute [orgy of disaster] that was the Bush administration, God himself couldn't do any better than what Obama's doing.

It takes alot of time to clean up a royal mess you know

He saved GM

he killed Bin Laden.

-Really? Cuz for the most part Obama has given in to just about every GOP demand over the last 2 years. Baynor got 98% of what he wanted in that last debt ceiling bill. In fact, most of us liberals are starting to wonder if Obama is a secret republican.

"Gitmo... Still Open"

-Oh you mean the prison that Bush set uo to torture terrorists? As a republican why would you, einstein, want it closed? I assumed you were a big fan of waterboarding

"Gays... Still in debate in the Military (wont ever leave that status either)"

-This is a non issue in my opinion. Why? Cuz i have 2 cousins serving in Afganistan. They, and the rest of their unit, know of at least a half dozen homosexual soldiers. Their superiors know of them as well, but nobody turns them in. The reality is nobody really cares as to wether or not gays are allowed.

"Taxes... Raised it on everyone via Obamacare... so he did not only raise it on the rich."

-Thats odd cuz everyone ive talked to hasnt seen their taxes increase. Not property, income or anything of the sort. When did he raise taxes on the rich? Thats news to me. Obama signed off to continue the Bush tax cuts. Ya know, the one that supposed to create more jobs! LMAO

"Afghanistan... Still there and his deadline is coming up... looks like were staying to..."

-Oh! your talking about 1 of the 2 unneccesary wars Bush got us into? We cant just pull out every troop all at once. Even the GOP knows that would be irresponsible. Just another example of Obama dealing with the mess left behind by Bush.

"Better relations with the world (Errr, lol, that crashed a while back, lol)"

-Another odd statement. I seem to remember Obama actually working with other countrys and working with the UN on a variety of issues. Libya is a good example of that. In your post you stated that we attacked them. Yea, we did that w/o putting soldiers on the ground. If you recall Obama worked with the UN and discussed a unified strategy for dealing with a dictator. Thats how its supposed to be done.
Bush, on the other hand, gave the UN and the rest of the world a middle finger when it came to Iraq and Afganistan. Bush said something to the effect of, "if your not with us, youre our enemy". Can you think of anyone else who said that exact statement? I can....his name is Anakin Skywalker. Ya know, a Sith Lord!! LMAO

So seriously Einstein. Who are you trying to convince here? Us or yourself? For someone who claims to be educated and involved in politics you sure dont know alot about whats really going on. The President is just one branch of the government. The congress and senate are controlled by the Republicans at the moment.

I honestly blame the voters for electing officials that care nothing about the average American citizen. They are career politicians and they care only about money and getting re-elected. This can be said about both partys. Have you ever seen the movie 'Man of The year' with Robin Williams. In that movie he said senators should be made to wear patches on their suits to show who is actually paying for them. Just like NASCAR drivers wear on their suits.

That my friend is the problem at the heart of our government. Its about money now. Nothing more.

I don't want to rant but the forum is largely inactive, its hardly a surprise if nobody answers.
