2 words: "Pure rubbish".

The article seems somewhat unfair and dismissive on matters that have affected this Presidency to date.
Yes the Health Care bill , albeit watered down, has just passed one hurdle. Compromising. as Obama has done in this case to get the numbers to placate the Catholics by ruling out abortion, (yes, people from his own party), is just one example of the difficulty in getting legislation through the mostly compromised elected politicians. No one gave a damn about health care, particularly not Bush, and as a risk of offending those who think that man had any merit, even Americans think Bush was the worst ever occupying that office.
But if one answers one of the comments above, the people who have died in Iraq since Obama came to power, the number would be very low and those who have died did so from their own kind, internal Iraqi problems, not as a result of the US presence. That is well reported.
Obama has made mistakes. Yes, Rahm Emanueal was the first, a Jew who has fought as part of the Israel Army but NEVER in the US military and he is the Chief of Staff. Now there is a distinction. Then, of course we have Ms Clinton with more political baggage coming as a Senator from New York. Fair and honest advice from those two? Hardly. Then there is AIPAC, the insidious agents of a foreign country who have compromised most of the elected politicians in that country to make any effort on a Middle East settlement out of the question as the world has now noticed. So, if he had made mistakes it is accepting advisors who were thrust upon him by influences within his party. Yes, bad mistakes, bad judgement. Unforgiveable. But he didn't start a war, didn't lie as the Republicans have done for years about WMD's, and other matters while at the same time removing the personal liberties that the US has taken for granted since independece from Britain.
Great expectations from Obama, less than great results to date.

A final comment. Choosing to quit Afghanistan right now would lead to Pakistan falling to the Taliban but unlike Israel, currently with over 200 undisclosed nuclear warheads, Pakistan has disclosed nuclear power as well.
Sleep on that frightening thought.

Who is this guy? Shakespeare's Ariel was an airy spirit. This one's just an air head. An unfair, pretty malicious attack on a President who, despite his human failings, is such an improvement on the last incumbent it's not funny, despite the terrible mess he was left. The comment by someone about Obama - big hat, no cattle - seems to me to apply so much more aptly to Bush.

My suggestion: Obama here, Ariel back to Virginia - the South - where he belongs.

Reckon some of you OLO's had better wake up.

Most of the ME problems now rest with Hillary, who doubtless deserved the title from veteran academics years ago as Silly Hillary.

Certainly the way she has recently virtually apologised to Netanyahu after giving him a previous warning about Jewish intrusions into Arab settlements, could possibly be very worrying for Obama.

Indeed, it might now take a future militarily atomic Iran as a balance against a foolishly fiesty Israel, a needed balance that Obama may be forced to agree with.

Certainly China could be watching with interest, as well as Russian atomic engineers having been working in Iran for quite a long time

Barrack Obama was always going to cause people in the know to say ‘told you so’ to the people who voted for him and thought that he was the answer to African Americans’ prayers. The only surprise is that it took so long for him to prove that voting for a politician because of the colour of his skin is not a good way to go about choosing politicians. African Americans and the wet Left American whites are now going to endure the same suffering that they thought that they were unleashing only on conservative white people – i e. the incompetence of Obama.

The only person who likes him is the equally incompetent Kevin Rudd who, ironically, has been shamefully and humiliatingly spurned by Obama.
