I think he did a great job. America is on its way out of the funk. The war is over, TARP is working, and people are slowly getting back to work. Obama is the best leader we've had in decades. There are some things that need improvement, of course, but I'm sure he's working on them to the best of his (and his administration's) ability.
BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Yeah, and the markets are up 240+ points at the moment.
Used to be an Obama speech was good for an immediate market tank.
You mean your president that called the Iraq War a dumb war?
The president that fought against it?
The president that fought against the surge?
The president that has the middle east laughing that he announced the date the US troops would pull out?
The president who is now taking credit for Bush's war?
You americans are nuts. Make up your mind in what you want as a president. Hindsight here in Europe is we are missng Bush.
Oh, yeah?
Try this for size - can there be anything more humiliating for we Americans than that of a US president kowtowing to a foreign leader or to supranational institutions.
I thought we fiercely sought to defend their national sovereignty, and find the idea of giving international organisations a say over our laws and lives completely unacceptable.
But Obama has gone running to the UN to complain about the nasty Arizonians!
I read this:
“The Obama administration has submitted a report to the UN Commissioner on Human Rights, South African judge Navanethem Pillay, which makes direct reference to a popular Arizona immigration law aimed at tackling illegal immigration, which is fiercely opposed by the White House, and is the subject of legal action by the Justice Department. The report references
A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, (which) has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world. The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined.
The highly controversial reference to the Arizona law serves only one purpose – to gain UN and international support for the Obama administration’s position in the face of mounting opposition from Arizona legislators and a majority of the American people. A recent Rasmussen poll showed 61 percent of Americans backing Arizona-style laws for their own states, and just 28 percent supporting a Justice Department challenge”.
So the Obama administration’s report to the United Nations will go before the UN Human Rights Council, which includes in its current membership some of the world’s worst human rights abusers. The likes of China, Cuba, Libya, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, will have a right to pass judgment over the Arizona immigration law, a humiliation for a great superpower before some of the most brutal regimes on the face of the earth.
Over the course of the last 19 months, Barack Obama has bowed before Emperors and Kings, and apologised for his country on numerous occasions, from Cairo to Strasbourg. By deliberately placing the immigration policy of a US state before the Human Rights Council, he is now bowing before the United Nations, and undercutting the sovereignty of his own nation. This is not leadership but a surrender of US interests before a declining world body that is a hotbed of anti-Americanism, and a bully pulpit for many of the world’s most odious tyrants. It is also yet another example of an imperial-style presidency that is increasingly out of touch with the American people and public opinion.
Jimmy Carter has got to be THRILLED! He's off the hook now. What a complete disaster this man is.
Obama will do so much good in his 2nd term that it will make our heads spin.
Oh really?http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/world-news/obamas-popularity-in-europe-still-sky-high_100245526.htmlhttp://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/06/world/europe/06iht-berlin.4.9043329.htmlMethinks you use anecdotal evidence to try and shore up a point that really lacks any empirical evidence. Crawl back in your hole.

Hindsight in Europe is NOT that it misses Bush. That is simply a boldface lie. I have brothers in two different European countries and follow their media and I can guarantee you that they do NOT miss Bush.
Nice links EuroNut, one article that is one year old (Sept 2009) and the other from before he'd even defeated Hilary for the Democratic nomination! Good job there buddy!
I'm sure a few things have changed in that amount of time, I know sentiment has soured quite a bit in the US towards Obama over that time span. No doubt opinions have changed in Europe as well.

http://www.europeaninstitute.org/June-2010/european-public-still-love-obama-but-not-his-policy-on-key-issues.htmllet's worry about what Europe thinks of the US instead of doing whats right for the US
The war is over eh? What about that large troop increase in afghan country? They are over there every day trying to find two guys in a cave guarding a couple of pistols. Yet we must be over there and send all of those that just came home from Iraq back into the desert, but it's a beutiful war :P
Nice try, troll. Go hijack another thread.

That's the thing about people and their opinions, political and otherwise, they're completely full of shit. It's nice however, that it's only fashionable for the majority of these morons to take any interest in having an opinion once every four years.

To answer your questions,
YES!
YES!!
yes
YES
and yes, taking credit....for ENDING it.
The consensus amongst Christians is that Obama will burn in Hell for all Eternity along with Stalin, Netanyahu, Hitler, Olmert, Truman, Westmoreland, Pol Pot, Tojo, LBJ, W. Bush, Putin, Joe Arpaio, etc. Obama has committed willful Genocide against innocent white children and white civilians in his Crusades Against Islam. He was warned many times by God and by the truth. Obama will be met by God on Judgement Day and will be interned into Hell for the rest of eternity.
Ending what? There's still 50,000 troops there, and they'll be there for a LONG time. Open your eyes yu stupid Fing lemming.
We have non combat in about 150 countries give or take a few. having non-combat troops is an excellent improvement. The only war we should have gotten into was Afghan but we should also have gotten out of there long ago, not a fan of the increase. But if we can get all combat troops out within a year or two that will be fine.
