It seems President Obama is doing everything to usher in the Change he promised the people. However, it may take some time for the reforms to bring in economic betterment for the people, to see it.
Not too sure about the foreign policy being adhered to as of now, time to recognise friendly nations & fake friends for extracting benefits only. Some bold steps urgently needed it seems.


"stands for jibberish" is totally wrong. He does not read his history or does not remember it.

Obama will try to pass off his lies with new people. The old people have lied so much no one believes them any more. Obama himself is no longer believed, that is why the swing in the last election. He campaigned on "change"; but people did not realize that he meant he would lie, instead of telling the truth.

His administration's determination to use the EPA to bring in CO2 taxes will destroy the economy; all based on a theory of "anthropogenic CO2 causes global warming" which has not been proven. The scientists supporting the theory appear driven by getting more research funding to support their hoax.

@Stands for lies,

My memory goes further than 10 years. Freedoms have been being widdled away, in the name of security and the nanny state, for the last 50+ years; not just 8 years under Bush. Obama was voted in for change but we got more of the same widdling.

Stop w. the conspiracy crap and read history. Not 10 or 20 years; not 100 or 500. Go read the histories from now to 1300 BC and your little conspiracies will fade away. I promise.

We don't need a law to prevent people from backing over there children. ~ don't let your children crawl around in the garage.

We don't need a law restricting calories. ~ you own your fatness... Live with it. I like McDonalds cheese burgers now and then.

We don't need tighter tracking of civilians w. licenses. ~ you don't need to know where I am.

We don't need wire tapping in America to figure out that the underwear bomber is coming. ~ his father tried to warn us.

We don't need xray's of passangers. ~ a person can walk on to an airport and onto a plane without going through security.

We don't need minimum sentencing. ~ Judges spend thousands of dollars and many years in study and practice. Good enough for me.

We don't need to police what others do with there own bodies. ~ Go do what you're going to do and don't hurt anyone else in the process.

We don't need to restrict freedom of speech just because of one peranoid conspiracy nut.

stands for truth

As President Obama enters his second half of term all eyes are how he will handle the House of Reperesentive overflowing with Right wing hot blooded members.

Amazing as it may seem to outsiders how short American memory is.It is only three years since George Bush left the White House leaving behind a trail of devastaion both internally and world wide.

USA is in knee deep in debt.Its image world wide tarnished beyond repair.

It was under that state of despondancy that Americans voted for first Afro-American President.Of course by no means Mr Obama is not modern day Moses to lead the Americans out of the eight yrs of darkness.
To his credit President Obama has tried to heal the wounds inflicted on US image and psyche by NeoCons.In any other nation with such wild eyed men and women would be put on trial.Instead they have been allowed to work to destroy the Obama Presidency from day one!

The tragedy that occured at Tuscon should not surprise any one with some frame of reference!

Hitherto all the vitroil was targeted at US Muslims and Muslim Countries.It became a cool thing to attack Islam as a "threat to our way of life".It was none other than Bush who routinely demonised Islam as a neo-fascist creed!

He had good backing from Rush Lumbuagh,Billy Graham,Anne Coutler,Bill O'Reilly just to name a few.

Sooner or later that hate and anger(so skilfully used by focussing on Islam and Muslims)had to get out of hand.

Then came Sarah Pallin and New Tea Party who raised an alarm over Muslim Americans desire to build a place of worship(Mosque).

Incidents of violence against Mosque and Muslims became common place.Yet no politician had the decency to condemn it.

There have been reports of US returning soldiers from illegal wars in Iraq and Afganistan ending up as homeless.

Now we are hearing appeals to be civil.

David Frumm(a hard line NeoCon)coined the vicious phrase"Axix of Evil" which included Muslim Countries with North Korea thrown in to disprove his and NeoCons despicable goal of "Regime Change"!

Not content with what they have achieved in Iraq and Afgahnistan they are working over time to re-design Iran and Pakistan to the liking of Israel and US Right Wing Christians!
Again it was President Obama who journeyed to Egypt and Turkey to assure the Islamic World that USA is not at war against Islam.For this he was pilloried by Christian Zionists,Right wingers both inside the Congress and out!
One hopes and prays that ordinary US Jill and Joe will wake up and claen up the proverbial stables of war mongers fifth columnists hell bent on destroying US world image.
