The last 8 yrs may of been hard with bush in power but who is to say they are going to get any better - you will simply say obama is doing a good job because he inherited all the faults of the bush presidency (which is true to a fact) but remember a man is judged by his actions and in obama`s case ive yet to see any action.
He can talk the talk and he told you what u wanted to hear and had supporters who where willing to back him in his race to the whitehouse,but as ive said before he has to return these favours in one way or another, as no one gives away millions of dollors for nothing and you are so naive if u believe that people gave this money away to his support group for free.

Remember we talking about america here - the land of Freedom (so long as u can afford it)

If you look at my post closely, you'll see I complimented Obama for what he has done: raise a beautiful family, run one of the most well organized campaigns in history and his ability to involve and inspire people. I don't see why he shouldn't be judged, or complimented, on those standards.

If folks just wanted anyone to take over for Bush, they would have voted in just anyone. But they didn't. They voted in the guy who by all previous standards, didn't have a shot.

Now I understand not to judge the guy on stuff he hasn't done yet. But it's not egregious to expect him to run his presidency with the same temperament he's already shown.

But as far as him having to return favors. He took no Lobbyist money whatsoever, and the bulk of his campaign donations was from private donors. He has to return favors alright. The favors he promised the millions of ordinary citizens who donated to him. I understand why people would be cynical about that. But even cynicism can cross the line of incredulity at some point.
