alexsveltina Lansing, MI 33, joined May. 2013	We have an oligarch government and Obama pandors to the elite and powerful. His government is too powerful, the police is being militarized, and the patriot act is targeting victimless criminal offendors. I voted for Obama twice and I hate the GOP. I was impressed with Obama backing marriage and civil equality for the GLBT minorities but now am indifferent towards the man Meet singles at DateHookup.dating, we're 100% free! Join now!

alexsveltina Lansing, MI 33, joined May. 2013	Dude, i realize that the GOP are a bunch of bigots. The oligarch's filthy rich feed off from racism, christian fundementalism, 2nd ammendment, and hatered for social programs. After the boston bombings i saw pictures of police with assault rifles hanging out of armored vehicals. Maybe a police state is a bit of an exaggeration, but certainly our liberties are diminishing. I personally like Obama, but i think he talks to the american people like we're dumb, which for the majority, we are. Justifying assasinating american citizens and displaying to the rest of the world that we're a bunch of arrogant hypocrites. Democrats might be the lesser of the two evils, but they're still seedy and run by corporate donations. I see little difference other than ideological cosmetics between the GOP and the left. I guess im saying that im voting libertarian next election

atoadoso Tucson, AZ 39, joined Jun. 2013	Obombya is far, far worse than Bush could have been. Had Bush tried to carry out even a small portion of what Obombya has gotten away with there'd be massive resistance in the streets. The answer certainly isn't to vote for libertarians (!), but to contribute to building revolutionary organization realizing that we live under the dictatorship of the capitalist class (you say oligarchs) and no fundamental change for the better will come until that dictatorship is eliminated. Voting does no good whatsoever. Obombya has no power at all to change things. If he were to try to raise the minimum wage for instance, suit-dummies (the capitalist class) will say "look, do you want jobs in this country or not, I'll just take my money and jobs elsewhere then what will you do?" and then Obombya might be like "well, let me raise the minimum wage a little to calm the people down" and they might say "yeah, okay, for a bit then I'll just raise my prices because if I don't then another suit-dummy will just raise theirs and take the money anyways". They $elect who they want in office based on who they believe will best lead the people to serve their interest$. This time it's Obombya, because they knew they had better ease up a bit on empire-building because a lot of resistance was growing in the streets (where real change happens), but then came mister "hope and change" who was to possibly administer us some crumbs, but people were so drunk off just the talk of "change" that they didn't even need to toss us any, the resistance was squashed and they went right back to full-fledged empire-building mode. He was doing such a good job helping them stack cash that they $elected him again.

wolframglowing Greenville, NC 34, joined Mar. 2012	Has anyone seen a politician from either part that is something other than a tool for the corporations? Obama has no difficulty telling us what he thinks we need to hear, but the rubber has never really hit the road with this guy. Part of that problem isn't his fault, but part of it is. The surveillance/police-state policies and extraordinary presidential powers came into existence under Bush's watch. Obama is the type of person who believes that having knowledge of a problem constitutes an obligation to solve it and I respect him for that; however, he has made himself a pawn. Obama is using the intelligence gathering tools he was given and unsurprisingly, he is being condemned for taking extraordinary measures in response to the things he has been enabled to know. The two parties complement each other a little too well sometimes. Consider a second example of this Consider his first term. The democratic party had control of the legislative and the executive branch. Every one of those people have a firm grasp of the economic system in the US. It was the perfect time to go back to progressive taxation--under which higher income earners would exit the market more quickly and enable lower income earners a chance to enter. Instead, they pass a half-baked health care law which effectively criminalizes poverty and obesity. It could have been a single payer system. It could have solved problems, but instead they made things worse. There is only one vote that counts: the monetary vote. It isn't a single person or even a single group that is pulling the strings. The political system is subordinate to the interest of the free market as a whole. That is why Obama has said one thing and I would hope, reluctantly done what his corporate puppet masters wish for him to do in spite of his knowledge that things aren't going to go well. There is one area in which I think Obama has personally shown some leadership. He kept us out of Syria for as long as he could, but I think we all knew that it was just a matter of time. I doubt that Hezbollah is actually involved at this point, but if Obama really is holding his own on this issue, he'll do what he can to keep the US military as far away from that mess as possible. Right now Obama is focused on making sure that the Republican who inherits the seat after him will have the biggest possible mess to clean up. Bush did it to him. Expect the Democratic party to throw the next election.

el1zag1rl Springfield, NJ 47, joined Jun. 2013	Obama has represented some change but I can't help feeling very suspicious about the banks that run everything including him. And having been through the corporate ringer, I have to say that there are a lot of chilling aspects of that culture which remind me too well of fascism. There is something seriously wrong with it. I also find it annoying that people assume a President can single-handedly fix things. I feel like it comes down to what I do in my own life to promote social justice and democracy and to stay present to human need.

caramelcream4u Surprise, AZ 52, joined Jul. 2013	I agree with boydike and patutu149. Pres. Obama is a great president and has a passion to help the poor and middle class in this country but unfortunately the Rep? are fighting him tooth and nail against everything he and most of this country wants. The Rep? just keep saying no to everything because of his skin color and they continue to fight for big banks, Wallstreet, and big corporations. They would rather rip this country apart and act like spoiled rich brats than compromise and set this country on the right path. And this congress is the least productive and non working congress because of the Rep? not the Democrats. Americans should be embarrassed. You know the whole world is watching us. The only way anyone can vote Rep? nowadays is if they are fully UNinformed, naive, gullible, racist or all of the above. If you listen to Fox (fake) news, Limbaugh. O'Reilly and other crazy extremistsc STOP and listen to real news that have FACTS!

mizzyg2be Saint Paul, MN 26, joined Mar. 2013	Quote from thesslazarus: I'm kinda indifferent when it comes to Obama. God knows the Republicans have made it very difficult / impossible for him to be successful though. After Barrack's re-election in 2012 I was really hoping his far left side would come out full throttle. But who knows... there is still time. I have the same feeling and a bit of disappointment, but kind of glad he got reelected rather than have Romney as president.

sammael Colorado Springs, CO 41, joined Jun. 2008	What almost everyone is forgetting is that we have a three tier system. The POTUS can NOT make any law without Congressional and/or Senatorial approval. After that all has been done, it is up to the Federal Supreme Court to decide if it legal. As for Obama being the worst POTUS ever, are folks forgetting that it was the GOP/Tea Party that held the entire country hostage for the last 2 weeks? All because of a law(which the president can not eliminate by himself). A law that the right wing had thoroughly perverted from the original Bill back on '09. Very few people, let alone politicians, ever bothered to read the original draft. And the right did see that there were not any add ons so they fought it. Now that they hot their much coveted add ons in their pockets, they want to get rid of anything that is not in their mindset of how to further line their pockets. Also, does anyone realize that the redistribution of the health care funding would have gone to give specific congressional members raises on their annual salaries. it is a truly scary day when fellow Republicans denounce half of their own party for their participation in the government shut down. If any group outside of the House had tried to block ALL government activities, they would considered a criminal organization and duly sought and tried. Yet because its our so called "law makers" they've been given a pass on their "criminal activities" and even encouraged to further activities.

patutu209 Randolph, MA 55, joined Apr. 2011	Of the 3 branches of our democracy, Congress (upper &lower house) is the most powerful & here's why: all the power of the executive branch are delegated by Congress & the judicial branch as an arbiter ascertain that it's in accordance with our constitution. The sole power of the president is: the veto & the power of pardon which is supreme. That's it. The president is in charge of foreign affairs & this too is within the constraints of laws passed by Congress. Though the presidency is a prestigious position : Congress runs the show The presidency is @ his best with a collaborating Congress. If anyone wants to understand how our system works : Listen to NORMAN GOLDMAN. He's the most knowledgeable talk show host period & he's a straight shooter

Rather than go into a multi-paragraph rant that nobody will ready, I will say it simple like this: Bush's wars cost us over $20 TRILLION dollars which have caused our current economic woes- NOT Obama Bush's wars also cost us over 8,000 young men and women to be killed in battle and another 600,000 wounded in combat for absolutely positively NOTHING (there were no WMD's, Saddam was not nearly the threat everyone thought he was, Iraqi's don't want independence- they want to be tribes like they used to be, etc), NOT Obama So to say "Obama is almost as bad as Bush" is ludicrous- Obama is cleaning-up Bush's mess!
