Not stupid just gullible and led by a useless system of government where everyone vetoes if they don't get their way.Khazoth said:

Bush used fear to maintain favor.
Obama does whatever the public says to maintain favor.
Both of them are obvious propaganda tactics.

Well, presidents need the public on their side to give them power:
He is merely pleasing the public to keep him in place. He needed the public's side to become president anyway, and he needs them afterwords on his side to make sure they don't impeach him.The King Blues said:

Crap, I don't have much to contribute, do I? I guess that's what politicians do. They pick favorites and move their agendas through them. No biggie.
Gooood one. Also, I do not trust American presidents. I think they are all muppets for corporations.Cliff_m85 said:
I'm sorry to tell you but Obama is against gay marriage and seeing that it's the only real right that gays need. The rest will follow sense there mostly a package deal. Oh and McCain said Gay Marriage was a state issue and said that for years so gays were better off with McCain.Propagandasaurus said:
I wonder if he realizes that when there's less government ivolvement, things tend to go pretty smoothly... We wouldn't be in this recession if the government hadn't told banks to hand out loans to people who couldn't pay them back just so they could say that more people have houses than ever before... But right now Obama is trying to appease everybody, and that never works. He can't do everything he promised.
Why should he care what those people think? he has a 56% approval rating and the Democrats control both houses of Congress, he could propose pretty much any legislation he wants and it would probably pass. Weather it would work is something else entirely, but still.
What? Obama only pleasing people? What the fuck are you talking about?
Did we forget the speech where he basically ripped General Motors several new assholes, a company in essence an embodiment of 'the American Dream'? I thought he was gonna get shot for that!

Ok first off, if you read the article, he is not pleasing everyone. He is pissing off a lot of people and groups with his bid to institute public health care. that's the whole point of the article.
I am a medical student studying Kinesiology so i can be a physical therapist. although i expect to be able to make a decent living after six years of school, I am not ok with raping the population with insanely high fees, making it impossible for the common man to stay healthy.
You get what you give in life.
I think Obama is doing his best. It is a hard freaking job. I don't want it. Good luck to him.
Shalom, all.
as a side note, does it strike anyone else as funny that a group of doctors, PHD damn doctors, resorted to.....booing? i think i would have punched the nearest booing person for making us look bad.

In a way, you can say that of any president though. Anybody who agrees with a president can just say, well he's not pleasing me, therefore he must be spending his time pleasing everyone else, not doing what's best. It's easy to pick apart the president, no matter who it is. If McCain would have won the election, we'd be reading about his special interest pleasing instead, it's Obama. I figure I'll actually give the guy more than a few monthes before I judge him. Any president is going to have a tough time, and with so much scrutiny, as well as inheriting Bush's issues with the war, the economy, and everything else, he's got it tougher than any president in recent history. The same would be true if anyone else were elected. I say, Let's see where we go from here, rather than rip him apart for trying to run the country in a way that not everyone approves of.dnnydllr said:
