I like how he keeps his cool. That's one cool brotha
for example when Kennedy was having a seizure or when that republican was insulting him on national tv, dude was the coolest one in the room.
If so, what is that one thing?
I'll start. I liked how he handled the Somali pirate situation.

he put the brakes on a meltdown, choo choo.
He signed the Lily Ledbetter act.
Happy would suggest an emotional state too strongly positive for me, to attribute truthfully to the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Pulling back from the brink with Russia may turn out to have been a shrewd move, but much depends on the results.
Until business reform is pursued in earnest we risk creating even bigger debt bubbles, because there is now an implicit government guarantee backstopping TBTFs.
I hope Obama is listening to Paul Volcker right now.
I'm happy with the consumer credit card reforms.
Leaving Gates in as sec of def was a good call too.
Other than that, he's pretty much just been Bush the Sequel.
He stopped the Repugs/conservatives/neo-c*nts from getting elected again and continuing their destruction of the govt and the wealth of the country.
But it's looking like he's as compromised and tainted by the corps and capitalists as any politician.
His EPA looks ready to regulate industry's spewing CO2,now that CO2 is officially a greenhouse/environmental-impact gas.
Good question. I'm happy with his unbelievable arrogance and over reaching and the fact that the Democrats are virtually guaranteed to lose their majority in Congress in 2010. Hopefully the country can survive the damage done between now and then.
Projection at its finest.
Sounds like Red Team needs to fire up a campaign based on hope and change. Yes, you can!
Admit it, Manny. Your boy had everything going his way and he blew it.
I am happy with the cash for clunker program….I traded in an old truck for a new one & doubled my gas mileage…
What? He walked into the greatest economic crisis of our time and you think he had everything going his way? Are you actually serious?
I'll admit to being uphappy with things he's done and I don't believe I've made that a secret. I don't believe he's going to be nearly as good as I thought he was but I fault his desire to work with the ing GOP for that. He's done some things regarding detainees
I expected to be disappointed in some respects because he was never going to be the perfect president. No one ever is. You guys just love to make it out to seem as though he's already failed. You blow your wad too early time and time again.
This like a thread where Lakers fans talk at the end of their first quarter and their team just went on an 6-0 run. Yet they forget that their team is still down by 10.
@ everything going for him. You guys have a funny view on reality sometimes.
He was adored by the media and had a filibuster proof congress...yet his agenda was so left of center it even scared his own party... and now even the mainstream media is starting to cover the problems with his agenda. Manny, you may think I'm celebrating too soon but you have to admit he squandered a great opportunity to get REALISTIC change.
He did have a filibuster proof congress. You're rewriting history. I pointed above that his biggest mistake has been working with the GOP too much and trying to convince them to vote with him.
Whats really funny is that when he selected Rahm I told a bunch of you it was because he was going to have a lot of problems dealing with his own party. Surprise Surprise.
I don't get what he's squandered yet, though. Healthcare was going to be the biggest egg in this basket and everyone knew that going in. AFAIK that game is still being played so go ahead and plant your flag of victory.
Oh, and the thought of his agenda so far being too progressive is ing hilarious.
SAY WHAT? Lakers fans are the most intelligent & humble people on this board…
"filibuster proof congress."
bull , the Blue Dogs are more Repug than Dem.
That's all a charade. Obama doesn't give a about bipartisan support. He just needs to protect the blue dogs. If he goes hard left he puts the blue dogs in a no-win situation. They'd have to choose between voting with the party and risk losing their seats or siding with the republicans and hurting their party. But if Obama gets some moderate republicans on his side, then the blue dogs are safe.
Oh pleeeze Manny. Trying to force cap and trade through the House with all the arm twisting that got done when there was NO WAY it would pass in the Senate was incredibly dumb. It's a ulative resentment. He might have actually gotten single payer health care through if everyones hair hadn't already been standing up from cap and trade.
I'll buy that. It's early yet.
As compared to what? His own campaign rhetoric? I can buy that. Obama might have overpromised a little. I think there's good grounds to say that. It's an occupational hazard IMO. Pols end up pissing backward on the people who elected them.Oh, and the thought of his agenda so far being too progressive is ing hilarious.
"Read my lips..."
Is Obama fulfilling the hopes that propelled him into office? Probably not. But we're still very early in the game.
I hope Obama does well for our country, I really do.
These were the three I was gonna say. Other than that, everything has been pretty dissapointing.
I honestly feel he doesnt have a clue what to do on most issues. And letting Congress work out the details for most of his agenda while also asking for bi-partisan support (because what he REALLY wants is to be universally liked a la Reagan) is like asking your children to split a candy bar and wondering why theyre fighting over who got the bigger half.
This is a good one.
Someone said cash for clunkers. There's also that $8000 for new home buyers, which I think is about to expire. Both of these programs were great if you benefited from them.
Is it just me, or Obama a total phony?
Ive read his book. Ive heard his speeches. He's not THAT smart. I honestly believe he's much more comfortable talking basketball, some funny story about his kids or joking about the secret service than he is discussing banking derivatives, economic theory, legislation, leadership or anything we wish he had a strong grasp of.
He plays the part though. He always tries to look like he is in deep thought. The "intellectual" mulling over the possibilities etc. The thing is, I think he's thinking about what he looks like rather than what he's pretending to be thinking about. You can almost picture him practicing his presidential facial expressions in the mirror.
He is the Kobe Bryant of American politics. And the left-wingers are the insecure Laker fans eating it all up.
But Kobe can actually back up his talk.
