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...

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..
