Well isn't it obvious? Let me illustrate by a mock conversation. Note, this is after he has befriended every world leader and the like.
Obama: "Hi there Mr. Berlusconi, that's a fine country you have there!"
Mr. Berlusconi: "Why thank you, my finely tanned friend!"
Obama: "Now, I hate to be a nuisance or anything, but would you mind giving me your country?"
Mr. Berlusconi: "Beg your pardon, my well tanned friend, but are you out of your mind?"
Obama: (to other country leaders) "THIS MAN IS A RACIST! ARREST HIM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION!"
*Obama takes over Italy*
Just kidding, Obama seems to be a fine fellow indeed. Let him make friends with everybody out there, he has a lot to make up for after the Bush administration.

I'm a Brit, before I appear ignorant of home affairs in America. But aside from shutting down Guantanamo (granted, a big thing) and freaking out New York by playing chicken with the skyline with Air Force One, what has he actually done yet?
He's new in office, true, but he hasn't actually yet done anything of note.
Still like him, though

because...follow me here.
if you have a population of 100.
and the majority if 40.
and then you have 6 minorities of 10 people each.
you can please the majority and lose the next election.
or please all the minorities and win everything.

This, there are a lot of naysayers and he will have to please them if he wants to stand a chance of being re-elected. It's unfortunate, but that's a part of politics, and with him being the first Black President he sadly has more naysayers than most.Patrick_and_the_ricks said:

The problem with Obama is he ran on the platform of change. He`s supposed to be the one in charge changing the way government works and not appeasing lobbyist. Instead he`s continuing the american tradition of granting billions of dollars to failing companies with horrible business models so the CEO`s (responsible for the failure and still employed unlike their thousands of blue collared workers) can continue their lavish life styles. I thought we elected him to kick ass and take names,not hop in bed with them.
I didn't know that the rich part of the US population consists of only (investment) bankers.SonataSeed said:
You can partially blame shareholders for the second part, as they don't replace the Board of Directors/CEO's. If it wasn't for the capital injection those blue-collared workers would lose their jobs.
