Rate Obama's Success on a scale of 1 to 10!

There's nothing left to cut except the military budget, which even if you made the military budget $0 we'd still have a pretty big deficit. Americans have such a tax cut fetish they'd rather live in a third world country then actually pay taxes. Seriously this country is in such desperate need of infrastructure investment that it's never going to get. Like look at the railroad shutdowns in the news today, not only the Long Island railroad, but almost all tracks in the state of New Jersey. Electrical switchboard fires because the equipment being used was from the 1930's and was finally due to be replaced in October.

 

@ Madcap;

I agree completely. We're obsessed with NOT paying taxes simply because we're only processing the simple idea that we're giving up our money. We're pretty much investing in ourselves by doing so, though, especially if our government actually worked the way we originally intended it to (we ARE the government, etc).

 

The obsession is to spend beyond means. Ideally government would first collect taxes, and then budget their spending based upon the amount of tax collected, raising or lowering taxes based on projected needs. It's humorous in that it is the wealthiest who promote the class war, which keeps everyones attention on the currency and not on what it is that makes one wealthy. When the dollar becomes absolutely worthless the wealthy will remain the wealthy, while those who were obsessed with the accumulation of dollars will become destitute along with the rest who had none.

 

I agree that Jesus was dark skinned and maybe black,certainly not the white man depicted in most paintings from the 1000's of years in Europe.He lived in the middle east so he could not be blue eyed and light skinned.I am blue eyed and light skinned and when I get to much sun I burn like a piece of meat..lol..so we know that Jesus was not white,anyway that being said and that being true,Obama is not Jesus,even tho I voted for him,I don't think he's the black jesus or any form of jesus,hes a Chicago politican thats now a DC man who runs the US,and the most powerful man(basicly) in the world.Black Jesus he is not..Peace..

 

I really dont understand why people are so loath to pay taxes, yet these same people are the first to bitch about services being cut or poor roads, bridges, ect. How else are we supposed to pay for a sound infrastructure, government services, military, NASA, and all the rest of the bullshit the gov. supposed to do?

 

Same old shit from conservatives. Liberty lobby in 1934 against FDR,trying to stir up the dumb-ass working people who can be counted on to vote against their own interests. SOCIALISM!! SOCIALISM!! went the usual cry.During JFK and Johnsons presidencies it was the John Birch society doing the same thing,financed by right -wing millionaires like the Coors beer family. Same shit now--tea party dolts financed by the likes of RM Scaife stirring up the hate with lies and BS attacks.Who was president when the BIG depression hit? A republican. Who was president in '83 when a recession hit along with the savings and loan debacle? Iran-Contra? Reagan. Who was president when these wars were started and our and the world's economy collapsed? A god damned republican. Anybody on this site or any other that is a working person, is a stupid son of a bitch if they are considering putting republicans back in charge of this country. The right -wing media is already hyping up the "fact" that republicans are going to take back the government. And they probably will because of a bunch of stupid motherfuckers that think the rich give a shit about them. Fuck. Fuck. This country's gone to hell ,been thru hell and may soon return.( and next time ,I'll tell you how I really feel)

 

Obviously the education system has failed totally. When people are taught what to think instead of how to think, government becomes the only source of answers, presuming questions remain to be allowed.

 

Obama has failed miserably.

 

It's relative to your agenda, from his point of view he is making progress towards the direction he wishes, perhaps not as quickly as desired but much quicker than any others with his agenda have ever done.

 

I gave him a 7. I think he is doing as well as any politician could that would have actually been elected. Sure I could hand pick someone with my exact views, but they wouldn't win with the masses. But he is doing some good things IMO.

 

The simple solution is a VAT, or say 20 cents of EVERY dollar spent goes to the Federal government, if not adequate raise it to 40 cents, and let prices adjust to reflect the needs of the government.
As we're about to inject $600 billion of new currency into existence, why not do it by providing every citizen with a check for $2000?

 

I absolutely love yeah absolutely love your picture .so young so beautiful so free feeling

 

Being a businessman for over three decades I have seen corruption infest itself in every facet of my field.I can clearly see it's presence thru out the business world of our country.fear not our forien threats.we are destroying ourselves from within our on borders.I dont profess to have any great solution.perhaps there are many different ways to improve our delimas.

 

Looks like Obama is rated about 4.5 from the above poll results, but they have been accumulated over nearly a 2 year period. Time for a new poll?

 

∞ - ∞

 

Two weeks ago I would have said absolutely. And I think Obamy would have fallen flat on his skinny ass from 4.5% to 4% or lower (MUCH) lower.

Now with bin Laden being taken out on 'Obama's watch' I fear this will be the best ammo he will need to get reelected the next time around. I weep for this once great country.

 

I think so kinda like the things he's doing. Most of the complaints I hear about him are from his hardcore fans who loved him before he was elected.

 

i voted a perfect 10.... he is doing what he is required to do by his puppetmasters, and he is doing it rather well... the fact that he continues to fuck public right up the ass, must mean they just like it like that...

 

yes- this and nothing else

 

Well what an interesting look at it!

YES... He is just another controlled puppet performing for his dinner!
