Yeah, good point. I can't argue with this.

I know. I was being sarcastic. Then I was being sarcastic in the way that I said I wasn't being sarcastic.

:banghead:

You fooled me! For a second I thought there had been some awesome Bush speeches that I was totally unaware of.

Eh...

There could be! :eek: Wouldn't be that something. Hearing him be eloquent would just.. I wouldn't know what to do.

He is a step up from Bush, but that is not saying much since he is a sack of **** as well.

From across the pond, he seems like a smart guy whose values are a lot better than your previous president. When it comes to what he's done or not, I'm nowhere up to date on present american politics and don't know any details. But, you're in a country with a huge debt, with a two party system which splits public opinion down the middle, where distrust against the government and a lot of the politics I personally think would help you runs deep. I'm sure all that and many other things present enormous obstacles which slows him down. To expect a new president to magically overcome all that is a bit much.

He had the chance near the beginning to push through some of the policies that he talked about in his campaign but he blew the chance by trying to appeal to both sides of the parties.

I wasn't expecting him to be a miracle but he talked a good game and when he could have backed it up, he decided to be a politician and appeal to both sides to help him in the future for his re-election.

I didn't vote for him because I knew he was just like every other politician but he just didn't appear to have the experience or to tact to be as ruthless as he should be.

The only thing he has going for him is his charisma, he's a pretty good guy and intelligent but he's a bit of a pushover. I like him as a person but talk about being soft.


you should be banned from using sarcasm. talk about overusing it to the point where it's ineffective lol

I think he went into this thinking thinking it was going to be a lot easier to change things in the government than it actually is. He just spent 3 years trying to convince a bunch of gray haired white guys that socialized health care is a good idea. We all see how that worked out. Overall I think he's a decent enough guy and an ok politician with some good ideas, but his ability to change the way things are has been pretty limited, which makes him look bad in the long run.

yeah but the things he was trying to change are pretty huge things that can't really be done overnight with the bi-partisan BS that goes on.
