    This is a center right country, and it can't be run from the far left. Recent elections have shown that people are SICK of his liberal socialist agenda, and I count down the days until 2012 and we hopefully get this man out of office.

    I hate it that people have to be so negative towards our president. With that being said, I don't feel he's doing a great job with some issues, but then again he did inherit lot's of problems from the past. In my opinion, I try to be optimistic and hope for the best. No president has been perfect. Sure, I worry about current issues, but it doesn't help to dwell on these things. It helps for me to think positive.

    He sure talked big during the election and made impossible promises that so many people "fell for" (including myself)... So far, I am not impressed and unless he steps up to some of the changes he promised, I wont vote for him again.

    I guess he is doing okay for a lying socialist who isn't even a american.

    He may have been dealt a tough hand, but he also had a congress and senate behind him like no other president and I still don't see significant progress. Forget the Healthcare Plan, tweek the existing healthcare plan and focus on jobs, the economy and homeland security and especially the housing industry.

    I am afraid to say anything negative about him, period. Be careful what you say, I don't think we will get away with speaking our minds about him.

    Sorry, I do not want socialist policies pushed on me. This country is a republic and I am not willing to give that up. Beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing people! Our President has an agenda that does not include our voices!
