It's not...![]()
It's not any different at all. Darrin's original post asked what positive effects Obama has had. Someone else said that Obama has garnered the U.S. more respect around the world. I disagreed. I don't think the U.S. is any more, or less, respected around the globe than we were under Bush.

Chump just pwned himself.
No, that's exactly what I meant.
I love the magic wand theory to which board Republicans subscribe now that they are out of power.
Obviously it's a bit early for a review. But at some point it'll be fair to do so, given not only the specific promises of his campaign, but the general hubris from his supporters.
Isn't this the first president in the electronic age that hasn't had a positive impact in the first 100 days?
I guess it depends on how you define *the electronic age*.
You actually remember what Obama, GWB, Clinton, GHWB, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon, Johnson and Kennedy did in their first 100 days?
Remarkable. Could you run it down for us WC?
Sorry, I cannot. I remember the presidents since Nixon as all not having remarks of no accomplishments in their first few months in office though.
Face it. President Obama is a joke.
Obama is POTUS in an unprecedented time and can do some real good and mark his place in history. I fear that his "walking on pins and needles" diplomatic style will hinder this. I'm also starting to notice that he leads with with his thumb to the winds of the weekly polls, ala Clinton. While this may seem like a good thing, a.k.a. "refining his position" on various matters, it also makes it difficult to see what the man really stands for.
A leader does not legislate by polls. A good leader knows how to change the mind of the people to what is right. It should be easy since he has the media on his side.
I warned you all he had no executive experience. Now our nation is getting more and more ed up.
Thank-You Obama supporters.
Well, I think he fully intended to do things like closing Gitmo, but then the polls cam out and....
Regardless of what people think of Bush (I thought he had terrible judgement in people he appointed), at least he cared more about what he thought was right vs. being popular. It's very obvious, now, that the man didn't worry about popularity.
If so, the joke's on us.
Coming from you though, this judgment isn't too credible. You already had your mind made up.
If Obama keeping GWB's SECDEF and his war/CT/national security policies in place doesn't sway you probably nothing will.
His party probably wishes now that he had cared a little more.
True. Gitmo won't be closed but that's not Obama's fault. Congressional democrats were fine using Gitmo as a talking point to win the election, but once Obama got in they all became gutless bas s who didn't want to run the political risk of actually following through.

What gets me is that this guy ran for Class President, like in High School, and won!
Do we really have that may stupid people here?
What a travesty. I have a hard time getting over that too.
C'mon. Don't be coy. Say what you really mean.
Anyone who disagrees with WC is ipso facto an idiot.
Right?
"You know, I'm the President during this period of time, but I think when the history of this period is written, people will realize a lot of the decisions that were made on Wall Street took place over a decade or so, before I arrived in President, during I arrived in President." --George W. Bush, ABC News interview, Dec. 1, 2008
Not at all. I disagree with some pretty intelligent people at work. I simply cannot believe how many people cannot see past the public face. They are likely the same people that get taken by used car salesmen.
One of the guys I disagree with most, before the election, only had one good thing to say about electing President Obama. That it should put the black/white issue to rest. That was his best reason besides not liking president Bush.
Is that a good reason to vote for him? Just because he's Black? I guess it made allot of white people feel less guilty over race.
then you hang out with stupid people
LOL...
OK, I made a rash statement. I'll change that to ignorant.
It appears to all be relative...
LOL, c'mon dan. That is nothing more than media propaganda.
I love it when he just blatantly makes up.
So you don't agree with the way he handled the hostage negotiation with the pirates?
Blame yourself. You voted for him.
