I live in the UK so this doesn't apply to me much.
Aslong as he does a better job than Bush, I don't mind.

Right now it's clear that he wasn't as good was we thought he'd be. But I don't think that he'll do such a good job because I can't think of one person in the world that can fix the mess that we're in.

If you think about, because of mistakes made by the older generations, we're all screwed.

I think he'll do a good job. I'm not going to say, "No he won't" just yet, I can't really say that because I haven't given him a chance. In two years I would be able to answer this.

Two years isn't enough, if he gets elected again i'd give him all 8 years. To study the market you have to give it over 4 years. It may seem great after 3 years but all the stimulus and programs might backfire, causing a meltdown again.

Still, there's some things he could do in 2 years to help.
For the market, yeah 4 years, I'm sure anyone could do better than Bush did though.

I think that if anyone can do it, Barack can. He's one of the few presidents that has had the population so involved. Whether or not this has to do with his ethinticity or not, it doesn't matter. He's got such a public voice that others don't have. Barack himself won't be able to do it, it's the people that believe in him and give him suggestions in our country. 2 heads are better than one, and that obviously applies to all the more citizens of America that are supporting Obama's administration.

Meh I hope he does a good job...but even if he didn't I don't think anyone would notice he is a very popular man, or some may say a media whore.. But not intentionally dissing Barack, he is a smart man and what seems to be a good politician... but honestly I don't give a damn about his dog or that he gave the Queen an ipod..

That's true about the population, I heard it's been a long while since that much of the population voted.

Except that 3 of his choices had the problems of not doing taxes. Which in a time like this would piss people off. idk, i just want the us to pay off most of its debts then work on policing the world.

I don't know yet. But I will say that I honestly don't think this financial crisis will ever go away. I've haven't been affected by it. But then again I live in Texas. I heard the economy is flourishing so I can't really say.

I say if the world is running out of money, then make more.
Money is a man made thing so why not just print more off?

That's what they call inflation. The more money thats printed out the less the value it's worth. Think of it this way, I have a pokemon card that they only print only 12 of in the whole world. Each is worth about $800, what do you think will happen if they printed 100 more? Well more people will have it causing the rarity to go down. My $800 card is now worth about $500. Now if they printed 100,000 more, it's now a pretty common card, i'd say it's worth about $3 now.

I know what you mean, but they could print out more money, and stop any inflation.
My main opinion is that I think its stupid that the world is falling to pieces (for lack of a better phrase) because of somehting mankind made. If people weren't as greedy as they are now perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess. :/

If they were to print more money the value of the dollar would go down. Which would raise the prices of everything, the people without jobs would have a harder time getting what they need afterwords.

Thats what i said with my post earlier >.< The world has to run on money, we can't use anything else, we could use gold back then because we didnt have this much people.
IF they did print out more money it doesn't matter, inflation will still happen no matter what you do.
A great example was this, zimbabwe printed out so much money that it is now at 231,000,000% inflation(how the hell did that happen?) They have a $100 trillion dollor bill, i'm thinking that if somebody were to bring $5 to that country you are now richer than 90% of the country. This is what happened.

Okay, time for a cynical point of view:
Despite some of the nice changes that Obama has made, I get the strange feeling its going to be a continuation of the Bush regime. To me, all I sense is that Obama is a prettier face and more eloquent speaker. For those who don't follow some of Obama's politics, he signed and endorses the PATRIOT act, which essentially gives the government the ability to wire-tap. He also has done great sponsor events for an organization known as Planned Parenthood. It is an abortion clinic. (Don't get me wrong, I'm Pro-Choice) however, this organization accepted money from people who actually specified who they wanted the money to be spent on. (IE, there was an investigation, and in this investigation actors called in and asked if they could donate money specifically for a black abortion etc.) Even after this information has been released, Obama still endorses this company.
Now I do acknowledge he has done some amazing things; stem-cell research, stimulus, etc. I just don't think he'll be the cure-all everyone wants him to be.
Of course this is all speculation as their is no real way to know what to expect until we've seen him end his first term at the very least.

As much as it pains me to say this, he isn't doing that well. I know it is only been a few months, but he hasn't done anything about the economic crisis, or any other things that i can't think of right now. All he's done is save a captin from a pirate.

LOL! My friend thinks the same thing.
I think that people hyped up how good he would be, and and expected so high of him, that I don't think anyone could of reached his expectations. and by the end of it, even though he is doing what he can people are still dissapointed because of all the hype he got.
Similar to the whole Susan Boyle thing.

Not trying to be racist or cause offence, but I think that the main reason people were bothered is because he's the first black president. Over here in Britain, that seems to be the case to me. If you say Barack Obama, people instantly know who he is, but couldn't have said anything else about him. Even before he was elected, this was the case. At the same time, if you'd have shown anyone a picture of John McCain, they probably wouldn't have known who he was.

I have to agree. He thinks he's helping the economy, but he's screwing us Canadians over with his "Buy American" standpoint. We have a free trade agreement, but if it doesn't benefit him, he feels that he can crap all over it and toss it put the window!
