I definitly like Obama. He is a fellow countryman & a man that is braver than I to take on a task as great as being President of the United States. Do I agree with everything he does? No. Do I think he can do great things for this country? I think he can, but it is honestly too early to tell whether or not he will.
He is what he is. He is to be the designated fall guy who was put into office just as the inevitable consequences of decades of greed, agression, and financial irresponsibility begin to fall back upon the US.
He will deserve his share of the blame because he is a willing puppet, but he has no real power to affect change of any sort himself. His every move is dictated by those who put him into office.
Somebody has to take the blame when nations fall apart. And that will never be the most guilty. By the time it happens, they already have libraries and statues and schools named after them.
So what they do is to put some patsy into office just as it all comes crashing down. Somebody "different" who can absorb the blame without too much of it spilling onto those who truly caused the collapse.
shirazhanif: first thing he done was shutting down Guantanamo jail obama took my heart way awesome
Shutting Guantanamo won't change anything.
Guantanamo was part of the "global terrorism" scam needed to justify militarization of the nation, invasion of other countries, scuttling of the constitution, and restructuring the entire US government towards a totalitarian police state.
Guantanamo was a way to pretend that dangerous terrorists existed, but at the same time make any sort of communication with those suspected terrorists impossible. That way they couldn't ever give information that contradicted the official line.
But the "world terrorism" hoax has already served its purpose.
Shutting down Guantanamo is not going to restore the constitution, Posse Commitatus, of the bill of rights. It won't restore the sovereignty of Iraq, Afghanistan, or Pakistan. It won't ressurect the millions of people who have been killed in the fabricated war.
The next phase will not be a phony war against supposed international terrorists hiding in caves on the other side of the world. It will be a phony war against supposed terrorists in America.
And for that war, FEMA will take on the role that Guantanamo played. Only on a much more massive scale.
yes i am a supporter of Obama.. he is trying to set right things that were in motion long before he came into office. He is a family man and respect that also. He has done many things for this country already. And I do get frustrated when people down him.. he is not perfect.... he will not fix all problems in days months or weeks or maybe even years... it took us time to get us in the mess we are in and it will take us probably double the time to get out of it. The previous administration messed this country up bad. To me personally when i look at any situation it is progress not perfection that will help us succeed.
Looking from the outside, I see a guy who seems to be intelligent and, I hope, a breath of the aforementioned fresh air. Time will tell.
I know that you Americans respect the post of President and the guy who is the President and that's a good thing, but I found it hard to believe that George W, who (sorry!) came over as a bit of a half-wit, won the contest to lead your country twice. Obama seems to be a bit more in touch with reality.

Sparky55: I neither like or dislike him but then again I really don't know the guy. He's the President and he's not supposed to be paid for being liked.
I like Obama I haven't always agreed with some of the things he wants to do or is doing for that matter. But here's the thing-the President doesn't have that much power he can propose all he wants he can plan all he wants it has to be approved. if you are American and have a problem with a bill or anything the House and Senate need to approve make your feelings known and encourage others to do the same. Whether or not you think it will work. It will make you feel like you've done what you could. My feelings anyway. I email 1 letter a day to my representatives-one of which is family and get ignored-but at least I do it.

I don't think the OP mean like in the sense of liking our friends, but in the sense of agreeing with what he's doing, how he is handling things, his policies, etc.
I think he's doing well. I am a liberal, so his and Clinton's policies and perspectives usually coincide with mine. I think that Obama has done a huge amount in improving America's image around the world, which will give us more actual power than using military might. Yes, I 'like' him.
