Either you're older than you say you are, or your parroting your parents or Rush Limbaugh.  

No just not as stupid as you think I am... Have you ever thought that a young person may be opinionated?

I'm 21 but i have been active in politics since i was 13 i represented bush in my school rendition of the 2000 election in 8Th grade i won by like a 65% to 35% in an inner city school which was convinced Republicans were out to get them but i just told them the facts and won with an overwhelming major in a school of 1200.

really my fifteen year old friend did u know ur boy bush spent more then the lat 42 presidents combined on a failed war in iraq which i might add is the worlds most unpopular war....so it was ur boy who put us in this situation and PRESIDENT OBAMA is doing what he can 2 get us out of his inherited problems...so check out the facts before u make outrages claims against the voters the president or anybody else for that matter..THANK YOU

really my fifteen year old friend did u know ur boy bush spent more then the last 42 presidents combined on a failed war in iraq which i might add is the worlds most unpopular war....so it was ur boy who put us in this situation and PRESIDENT OBAMA is doing what he can 2 get us out of his inherited problems...so check out the facts before u make outrages claims against the voters the president or anybody else for that matter..THANK YOU

Obama is just a media whore he is only in this for the fame and popularity and people are starting to realize that, his approval rating has gone down more than any other president at this time in is term. He was only elected because liberal propaganda made Bush sound so bad and they wanted his "change" but now they are beginning to see how Obama is more of a celebrity than a leader (which by the way America is the first thing he has ever led) he has already had more televised press conferences than any other president, not counting the state of the Union addresses. In those press conferences he pre-chooses the questions, notice he only calls on the ones in the front. just so you know Bush was forced to spend money on the war because this is one of the worst wars of all-time and none of the others have been recent and money value has change immensely since the last huge war. So before you go put out your liberal facts that you hear on your liberal news programs back sure they cant be thrown back in your face.

Demopublicans and Republicrats are two sides of the same coin.  The sooner you guys figure that out, the sooner this country can progress towards change.  One of the worst wars of all time?  Not even close.

We're living in a corporate oligarchy.  Keep focused upon the rhetoric of your preferred political parties, fight amongst yourselves and ignore the big picture--that's exactly what they want you to do.

Did you know Obama is sending more troops to the Middle east?

Yeah i know (I'm Independent beacuse of that fact) you might like a book that I will buy once it comes out called Life Inc. I had a three day argument with my dad beacuse we go there pretty much every day insted of supporting the local economy by paying a little more which could very well fix the economy.

You're the second person that's mentioned the book to me in the last week.  I'm definitely going to have to check it out.  Thanks,

Thats what i'm sayin... One republican has stuff happen to him that he cant controll and all of a sudden republicans are the anti crist... the house and senate were both almost deadlocked so no bill could get through, haven't you guys heard of the saying "A house divided cannot stand"-Lincion (sorry i cant spell his name for jack.)

anytime man.

Dam... I can rock the boat!

Dam... I can rock the boat!

wow i can see giving me a pc on the 2nd one but what the hell did i say in the first one to deserve that.

Wasn't me bro....  The only thing I can think of is the use of a certain term in your opening.  Personally, I think you have a relevant point.  Even so, some enamourization can be expected with the historical nature of his election.  Add the fact that things are still relatively new in his administration. It'll be better to evaluate a bit down the road. 

I'm still nervous with all of the money we've taken out in loans myself.  My field of research is not economics, but based upon how easy it is for individuals to get into credit trouble I just don't see the sense of the government using that particular direction.  In a way, it seems more like a gamble than anything; great if you win, but the odds are against it.

Beacuse in his first hundred days alone he has spent more than any elected world leader.

It wont nessarly be better, and I agree that the direction the gov. is taking is wrong throwing money at it is clearly not helping, what we need to do is educate americans so they arent so rambunctious (sorry if I spelled it wrong (which I know I did)) we need to made shrewd americans for the time being.

Your only 15, and you make more sense then alot of the "mature" people on here. You are a great American my friend. 

I don't buy the expensive war thing. They are not spending nothing comparatively. The Stimulus has nothing for the war and there is no bailout either. In a sense I agree that Obama is Osama - both want the US destroyed and subdued. They both don't like free world. They both are radicals. Both are friends with terrorists. The list can go on.

You should get your facts straight, sir. Iraq war didn't cost - in terms of money - not even a half - as much as the war on poverty and Great Society. Most unpopular? I guess you don't know the facts. World is not full of elites and academic people. Don't get all facts from Mass Media. I am from India and 90% of my friends supported Bush and Iraq war. We, Indians, understand terrorism, war and non-violence. With media lying, one never know facts unless one use common sense.

lots of people are opinionated doesn't make them smart though

Norseheathen is right, most of the world is run by a corporate oligarchy.The president is mostly a figurehead and I think it is better to have one representing your country that is not obviously unintelligent like the previous one.

First take a government class, public policy class, administrative Law class, get a major in public administration,  and a masters, go study welfare for all areas and class levels and then come back and write your article.

hi

Well, Buddy, do not be so subjective, if it is about spending, the previous eight years has seen the leader, Bush spending much more for a vowed purpose of intangible issue of war with terror, as a crusader against terror, but if the same spending has resulted in more terror, and bankruptcy for the great nation, that is America, spending for good is different from spending for the egos of controlling the nations of the world, and America is one nation in comity of nations, which in the guise of introducing democratic rules has inflicted death on innocents, both its own soldiers and millions of innocents of Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere, but religion in its own place teaches tolerance, not avenge and revenge. Being devout "crusader" spread love, not hate,for violence begets more violence as seen over the centuries of human life.

Thanks, I have been paying alot of attention considering his mistakes will be my problem.

Thankfully, you're only one vote out of millions.

 All I want to say is that the incendiary title of your post is in poor taste. That's the kind of rhetoric that divides this country. I am 37 years old and I'M paying for the mistakes of presidents form before I was born, I'm also reaping the benefits.

Before you judge PRESIDENT Obama so harshly, know the full story, not the Limbaugh, Hannity spin. Check out the BBC, do some research, and although YOU didn't vote, he is still your President. He is our Commander in Chief, all of ours. 

 The mere fact that you think your generation will one day "rule" in America says all I need to know about your opinion.

Love it ,Right on  The poster said it ALL

iDID DO MY RESEARCH  AND THAT IS WHY I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM, HE IS DRAGGING THIS COUNTRY DOWN, WE DO NOT NEED ANY MORE GOVERNMENT INTO OUR LIVES, BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING, FOR ONE I AM TIRED OF IT, LOOK AT ACORN WHO DO YOU THINK WAS REPERSENTING  THEM  AT ONE TIME ? I DO NOT TRUST OBAMA AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS SKIN. LOOK AT WHO HIS FRIENDS ARE AND THAT TSLLS YOU ALOT. AND YES I AM A FAN OF FOXS NEWS AND PROUD OF IT . IF  YOU WANT THE TRUTH WATCH GLEN BECK  AND READ HIS BOOK COMMAN SINCE, I DO NOT SEE A LOT OF THAT ANY MORE

Freakin........IDIOT    

Well said, in fact, you said essentially all I wanted to say!

Of course a 15-year-old can have an opinion and I respect his right to express it. However, the reactionary title is insipid, and if you really want to have an intelligent debate, you should proofread your posts, for starters. Also, since you are so concerned about growing up to inherit a mess, how about spending your energy on devising solutions, ways to improve the state of the nation, rather than bashing the current leader. If your aim was to make yourself feel good by finding people who agree with you, congratulations, you achieved that. But I would hope that, at 15, you want to achieve a lot more.

If you watch this and your opinion on Obama doesn't change than you are just ignorant, they are all a bunch of communists.

Give the man a chance, he has to come in trying to clean up the mess that has been there for the last 12 years...he has not been office a year and you want to bash him. I will continue to support him as we have to foul ups prior to his presidency...

Sorry, Beck is the right wing version of Michael Moore....they manipulate information to suit their own perspectives.  Considering that we're talking about the "Chicago Connection" how much influence do you think these people will have?  Then things have to go through Congress and if contested, the Supreme Court.  Also, I heard a lot of "you would think" or other unproven factors.  This is just another conspiracy theory.  Like I said above......Beck, Moore....two sides of the same coin.

As for the "they're all a bunch of communists statement", it can easily be demonstrated how the Republicans have perpetuated a fascist doctrine so I'd be careful with the categorizations.

First off you asked how much influence will these people have, did you forget that one of those people is the President? The President can confide in whom ever he chooses, and since these people are his friends and fellow communists I think they have a big influence. Congress is so liberal its not even funny, most of the republicans in Congress are not true republicans either. Glenn Beck is a great American that is not afraid to say what everyone else is thinking, but too scared to say. Michael Moore is an idiot and like all liberals his arguments are emotionally based, not factually.

Like I said, Beck and Moore are two sides of the same coin--both are pundits for their respective parties.

And remember, the only 'unilateral' actions taken by the President are very limited.

Question: you stated that "....most of the [R]epublicans in Congress are not true [R]epublicans either."  Would you mind expanding upon that?  Just what constitutes a "true" Republican?

I think Glen Beck has more common since then most out there , and he is not running for anything, so he has nothing to gain, he is not scare of saying the truth

Hi ssusiej46, did you think that he could not scare?

half of this countries problems would be solved if congressman both democrat and republican would come up with solutions to problems instead of criticism and political slander. I fully agree with the PRESIDENT...If u don't like his way then come up with a alternative plan instead of whining about it. Sitting around and doing nothing however is not an option!!!

Who is suggesting do nothing? Every Republican proposition was stomped on. Alternative Plan? There are all kinds of people including China suggesting stuff to this president kid.
