Obama the One Term President

[Tomb]

Obama is almost guaranteed to be a one term president. for Six reasons

One - Lack of Exprience

Two - Broken Promises, Where is the change?

Three - He doesn't listen to the peoples needs! He continues to cram the health care bill down congresses' throat but they dont want it. The main priority is Jobs. How do people pay for their health insurances without jobs? How do they eat with out jobs? It is the top prioty but Obama is too stubborn to focus on jobs more and deliver the results.

Four - Congress will have more Republicans, because right now democrats have the majority, and based on the latest polls congresses approval rating is very very low

Five - Regardless of Democrats majority, they are competent. Based on the fact that they fail to pass many bills because they cannot work as a team instead they work in small fractions of "blue dog democrats"(conservative democrats), Moderates, Super-liberals and others with their own agenda. Whereas the Republicans work as a team by saying no. The small republican minority is capable of killing all the bills related to health care. To be a successful politian you must pass the bills you want, or atleast eliminate the bills you do not agree on!

Six - Obama's approval rating is at around 50 percent. Last month is was below 50 percent, Obama's approval rating will affect the 2010 congressional election.

Seven - The voters a irrational, they really want change so they will get rid of obama as soon as they can. Obama is really the transition president that is made to fail. Because the economy was soo messed up by the mortgage crises left by the clinton and bush administration. The middle eastern was continues to eat up americas resources and reputation.


Obama is made to fail, regardless if you like his ideas or not. He is really a sacrificial lamb. A Jimmy Carter.

[Algernon]

Broken promises. I agree! What happened to the promise to give immigrants a green care so they can stay here?!

He's a *&@@$E%^$^^#@!

[✖Ice✖]

I see another Republican in 2012.

[MadPoet]

I completely agree with you. He preaches that people are not as approving of him any longer because "they don't like change." But really, people don't approve of him because he hasn't changed anything! He's also completely progressive, which is an extremely scary thought. If he is voted in again, I'm totally moving to Canada.

[Jocelyn.]

Unfortunately you're probably correct.

Obama is such a horrible president for not being able to change the country, and correct all of Bush's mistakes in one whole year. I'm not surpirised his approval ratings are so low, because people want their change and they want it now! No one is willing to work for it and work together, republicans or democrats. He has greats ideas, and I feel like he's trying... but like you said, no one can work together. Having only two parties to chose from to run the country, with two totally different views on things is the worst thing to happen to this country.

I do agree with your #3 reason though... health insurance is a major problem right now, but we need to start at the beginning, get people back to work and get the economy back on track first.

[Kryptonite]

Every single 'argument" you gave is horridly flawed. You cannot expect him to solve all the issues immediately, nor can you ask him to do it by himself. When the republicans will shoot down anything that Obama supports, just because Obama supports it, things will never change. They need to stop voting for their party - and voting for the people.

[~CourageousSurvivor~]

I don't know what I think, really. In my opinion I don't think that Obama is doing all that bad. Yes, there are still changes that need to be made but I think that his focus on the health care bill is because he knows that if he waits too long people will not want to support it as much. If he gets that done and over with as soon as possible the support will not dwindle.

In my opinion I don't see a republican getting into office any time soon. If I can be honest I think there are still quite a few people who are wary of republicans.

I think that Obama is doing decently given everything he has had to work with. I am hoping that with time things will get better though.

Well when that inability is due to just following the same path, yeah.

REFUTATIONS
1. Lack of experience is a stupid argument. The next 3 years are experience. Somehow I doubt the next presidential candidate will have been president of a country before

2. CHANGE. Good lord... It's been one year. You people are giving him one measely year to fix the @#$% ups of the last eight years?! I fail to see that logic. Shut up and let the man work. Quit your bitchin' and pining for instant gratification.

3. As some one who recently has been having a nightmare of a time with the healthcare system, I believe it is extremely important. There are just so many things wrong that one man can't fix it alone. People aren't wanting to work with him or together because of bipartisan idiocy and stubborness. It's on both sides. Jobs are important too, I agree, but so is healthcare. Wait until you need to see a doctor and can't. As some one from Hawai'i where we have a similar system to the one proposed in the bill, I can say I love it! Now I'm in Oregon and can't see a goddamn doctor!

4. Sure, they may get more republicans but in the next 3 years, while they oppose everything just for the hell of it and nothing is done, (hopefully) people will see that just electing people who oppose Obama isn't a smart or particularly mature answer. It's like a highschool popularity contest.

5. Not all republicans agree with all republican ideas. Not all Democrats agree with Democrat ideas. The truth is, no matter what party they're in, politicians, in the end, vote based on their personal ideologies more than anything else. No one is working together. It's petty and selfish but, here's the kicker, IT'S NOT OBAMA'S FAULT SO STOP BLAMING HIM FOR OTHERS' STUPIDITY.

6. It's the approval rating after 1 year. You're basing the next 3 on that? That's sad.

7- yes, you had 7 reasons... I think...
Well hopefully people will learn to be patient. It's sad that the American way is wanting instant results. Really a sad sign of our culture... In one year, 12+ years aren't going to be fixed magically. Especially with every one just bitching. How about people get off their asses and try to do what they can for themselves. He's not a king, he's not there to tell us what to do. People seem to be looking for a magic fix that Obama is supposed to pull out of thin air. There isn't one. Maybe try listening to the man and you'll see that he knows it too and encourages people to do what they can to be financially responsible and encourages the rest of the government to work together. It isn't his fault that people are stupid.

AT THIS POINT WE DESERVE HIM AS A ONE TER PRESIDENT. WE DESERVE TO STAY @#$%ED UP!

I love this country, it's the citizens I can't stand...

[Dr. Gregory House]

I agree with the OP.
One of the major flaws I've seen with Obama is that he's too pig-headed to work -with- the people. For example: During the State of the Union address not long ago, he said that the Republicans in congress were, "Saying no just to say no." That congress doesn't work together as a team. Why does he think they're saying no just based on their political party? It seems to me that he doesn't see a problem with his "lovely plan" and everyone is just out to stop this "change" from happening.

I don't like Obama. I don't understand why people were so crazy about him to begin with. He promised this "change" yet has seemingly done nothing. When that's -all- you push for your campaign slogan, it creates a false sense of security, and people think that you're going to get things done. The flaw that I saw in his campaign was that he told you what he wanted to do, but never how. He never gave a timeline for how things would start happening.

Don't get me wrong, though. I didn't like ANY of the candidates from the past election, and I'm incredibly disappointed that it was the first election that I got to vote in and it was just terrible all around.

[Double X]

I can't really express my feelings in anything other than all caps.

OBAMA HAS BEEN TRYING TO PUT BILLS THROUGH BUT BECAUSE OF OUR NATIONS POLARIZED POLITICS, HE CANNOT GET ANY REPUBLICAN VOTES IN THE LEGISLATURE. PRESIDENT DOES NOT ALONE AFFECT THE LAWS IN OUR COUNTRY.

Obama has called the summit tomorrow on live television because he has been trying to pass healthcare plans and Republicans are just saying no. He has asked them to offer alternatives (the Republicans that say they don't like his specific plan), and nothing else has been proposed. He could technically push a bill through with the majority only, but that would make him appear heavy handed. He is trying to gain some Republican support so he has some political minority support. BUT, since no one who opposes it has given any alternatives at all, he is going to hold a live summit to show that some Republicans are shooting it down and not even offering any ideas of their own, simply stopping the bill because he is a democrat.

Oh please. Just because someone supports something doesn't mean it's going to get done, as Obama has proved. Sure, Obama might support a new health care plan (which is completely ridiculous, if I may add) but do we see it happening? No (and thank God).

The republications are shooting down what Obama is doing, not what he supports. And what Obama is doing is nothing.

Also, check your history books. It's not just the republications who protest against democrats. The democrats protest against the republicans. There are also many statistics on the approval rates of Obama, and many democrats who voted for Obama now disapprove of him.

Political parties will always be in the picture, they have been since Washington. We have the right to vote for who we choose, and we have our own reasons for doing so. You might not like it, but you better get used to it.

I don't agree with Obama's plans for our country, but I would have much more tolerance for him if he were to actually push something through, even if it were something I do not want implemented. The only thing worse than a president who pushes through laws you disagree with is one who changes nothing.

Also, instead of us ganging up on the republicans, we need to look at the nation as a whole; not just republican vs. democrat. If the republicans are so against Obama, then Obama should be working to please both political parties, not just the democrats. In order to be successful, Obama needs to try his best to pass laws that settle well with everyone. If every single law Obama proposes is being declined, then obviously he's not coming up with ideas that will do this. Presidents need to be open to adjusting their plans so that they can at least somewhat please everyone in the country. Of course it's not possible to please everyone, but Obama should at least be making an effort to please the republicans as well.

I don't think America can ever pay back the debt we are currently in because it's so high.

But if he pushes something through, he won't have support of Republicans and then people will think he is just pushing Democrat agenda without regard for Republicans...

Obama has been open to adjust his plans! That is exactly why is calling for the summit, so he can show that Republicans are the ones being narrow-minded and unopen to discussion.

Since Congress is so polarized, conservatives will not compromise. And since conservatives are not compromising, the only forward 'change' that we will have in our policies will come from a conservative leader. Bitterly ironic, how the only progress we will have comes from the people who probably won't want change anyways.

Ha- the only thing that Obama can actually do is support something. He can introduce/suggest the law, but it is all about the congressmen to get it through. That's why he supports it, not does it. And thank you for the history lesson, I really had no idea that parties didn't always support each other.

Thank you Alex . I'm glad some one else realizes that's he's a president not a dictator. Hell, it's what we revolted against to become a nation! *sigh*. As much as we'd like a president to have a magic wand to do everything for us, that's not his job as president.

[Guile]

We need a traditional Fascist to lead this nation, lower taxes, increase our power abroad, gain political control of the oil reserves, and create a sturdy economy where credit can be given and businesses can be started again.

From where I stand, Obama is going to ruin this country, worst President ever!

Erm, you know that we're typically a progressive lot too, right? Most of Obama's progressive ideas are already in place up here.

Well then we wouldn't be America. Thank God we wouldn't be stupid enough to give in to a dictator. I refuse to be told how to live my life by some A-hole politician.

ONE YEAR AND HE'S THE WORST EVER?! Good God, people... Impatient, judgemental. So American.

[Nymous]

Christ, christ! That can't be true! You are complaining on Obama because he doesn't change things? There has been a rubbish health system in America for a very long time and know he wants to do it better and you complain? I'm sorry, but the health system from now is rubbish. I can tell you that. I'm not American, I'm from Belgium. We have the health system that he wants to have.
Here, when you go to the doctor, you are paid back by something that calls the Social and Health Care. That's something that is organised by this: everyone pays some taxes for health. it's a bit like the retirement system. You pay your working life to receive money at your retirement. So is it for the health care.
Maybe I'm subjectif, but I have to say we have an excellent health care and if one day they would change it into the same system as in America, I can tell you that I immigrate immediately.

Guile, you want a traditional fascist leader? A Fascist leader? I'm nearly sure that you don't like Stalin, so which kind of traditional fascist leader do you mean? Hitler? If such a leader would be president for only one year in America, I can guarantee that the USA will meet soon the army of the UN and of nearly all the European countries. Maybe also from Canada. And that would be World War I over and again, but in America.

This to me says it all.

He is going to be our president for atleast the next three years so we should get used to it.

Bush created a horrible mess..I'd like to see you all fix it in one year. I respect everyones opinion..but let's be realistic. He is only one person.

And without the help of his fellow congressmen, it's all the more.


I will say that Obama needs to become more organized, and prioritize a little better..he needs a better plan. He does have good ideas though..

I have a feeling he will get re-elected though because he is our first african american president..

And an idea I have: People might not want to vote for a republican because Bush effed up the country and people are scared..

He may not be starting wars, but he's maintaining the status quo in one and escalating another. And there's his economic policies which are basically even bigger continuations of the Bush-era stimulus and deficits. Not exactly "change".

See... Bush bashers drive me absolutely insane. Why? Because he was genuinely doing what he thought was best for the country. I don't agree with what he did, but I don't disagree with it.
The problems we're having started at the end of Clinton's term.This is a problem that's been building up for a while.
In all honesty, no one has any idea how to fix it. They only -think- they know what's best. The problem is... Obama's not really doing anything period. He's so caught up in the healthcare plan that he's not paying attention to other matters at hand.
Remember the Cash for Clunkers thing? Anyone who traded in their "clunker" had to pay to get a new car. That's all fine and dandy, right? What happened to the clunkers that got traded in? They poured liquid metal into the gas tank and ran it 'til it died so no one else could use it. Some of these so-called clunkers could have been used by families who didn't have enough money for a car. Vans could have been donated to churches or schools for activities. But they weren't. They were made absolutely useless. What good does that do anyone?

I'm sorry, but to ruin a country, especially a powerful country like the United States, is one of the most insane ideas I ever heard. If anyone would try and succeed to do that, it would mean World War III. Because the best way to ruin a country is to make war.

And Bush and the Republicans knew about those problems and did nothing. They knew there was a housing bubble and did nothing... Knew that credit card companies were giving out too much credit and did nothing. Not to mention the fact that they let the pharmas do whatever they pleased. But then again I will probably end up at a Pharma in a few years so it would be better if the government let pharmas pump out poison to the general population.

Incorrect, war creates jobs, which helps the economy. We are winning this fight and liberating people from the tyranny of dictators, not to mention protecting ourselves from the terrorist threat abroad.

I love how this war's given such a huge boost to the economy... Really fixed it right the hell up!
