Who cares what the rest of the world thinks...

Let me restate my original question.

I'd like your serious and considered opinion on what you think he's doing right.

I'm not interested in cut and paste opinions and linked taking points from media outlets any more than you care what Glen Beck says.

You mentioned that you believe he is underrated as a leader. How is he leading? The Democrats have a Supermajority in Congress. The right side of the aisle is as irrelevant as tits on a boar hog, and yet all of the "Change" that was supposed to be swept in, has been laborious, anguished and divisive.

The GOP is branded as the party of No - but the truth is - so what - they don't matter. Their total voting minority means everything the President wants to do should be a slam dunk. There's a either a serious lack of leadership or even the centrist elements of the Democratic party have reservations about the programs that are being steamrolled through Congress with back room deals and obscure administrative moves.

we've been trying to get health care in this country since the New Deal days. he did it. there were a lot of Dems on the fence or flat out opposed to it. he brought them on board. it may not be the heath care we wanted, but it's a start & 31 million people are thankful. his actions avoided what most economists universally agree would have been the worst depression the world has ever seen by passing Tarp. he saved GM's azz.truth be known, he saved the USA's & most of the civilized world's azz with these measures. I know how you feel about GM. don't tell me you aren't glad they didn't go down in a giant ball of flames. being hasty in leaving Iraq is dumb after all we've invested/sacrificed over there. we have a timeline but we can't leave it vulnerable. Gitmo & human torture will soon be things of the past. the Right knows this,so the only thing they can do is whine again about the timeline & say that terrorists aren't POW's & we should be able to do anything we want with them. even George Washington forbid torture. if you watched the Blair House meetings on health care with the Pubs you saw a bunch of arrogant, overly sure politicians get their azzes handed to them by who they used to just consider a community organizer with no political experience. that's where the "underestimating" came in on their part. the thing is, the Pubs have been against EVERY SINGLE THING that has been proposed by the Dems. they have tried to minimize EVERY SINGLE THING that the Dems have accomplished. Party of No isn't strong a enough metaphor. they aren't concerned with moving America forward. they are concerned with their own party politics & if they think the public doesn't see what's going on because they have guys like Limbaugh & Beck blocking for them they are mistaken.....but, then again.....look at their recent record. they've made a BUNCH of mistakes. underestimating Obama was one of them.

Elena Kagan has just been announced as the SCOTUS nominee. watch the shock jocks like Beck & Limbaugh scramble to find any dirt they can on her. watch the Pubs try to block her just because Obama nominated her.

Ya, Health Care is really going to be great, open up the wallet as the Medicade rolls will double my 2014 and the states pick up most of this tab, nothing affordable about the HC bill, yes reform was needed not telling me I have to buy Health Insurance or be fined or if I do not pay my fine go after my accounts or possibly jail time, where is this in the Constitution does it give the federal govt the ability to tell me I have to buy something? Is this in the Bill of Rights?

America is against this, like America is for what the Gov of AZ is doing, her state is on board only those that do not want to enforce the Federal laws are against this. I should bow to the president he was really responsive in Nashville, oh not enough Black People looting in the streets like in New Orleans like in Katrina. People were mad at Bush for his response in New Orleans, seems the Liberal press is giving the Messiah a pass on Nashville other parts of TN, KY and MS. Double standards here.

Beck is already on the attack with Kagan. on his radio show this morning he quoted her Princeton thesis on socialism in NYC out of context: Myths and falsehoods about Elena Kagan's Supreme Court nomination | Media Matters for America

You got that wrong, they are double counting the Medicare Cuts, it will not pay to be a senior under this bill, first time Medicare has been cut and the medicare payroll tax will go up 25% at the same time. The govt that I worked for for 22 years nevers came in under budget and this would be the first time, not likely the Govt will get this right, look at the Govts history, not good. Spend baby spend, we will be like Greece soon with those, lets get loud back to you OVER 0NE TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEFICTIS FOR THE OBAMA FUTURE, I do not love spending my kids money. I will quote Margaret Thacther, na you already heard that, you know the talking points, quit spending my money, I want to spend it on what I want not on what the Govt wants
