Barack Obama is the best president we have had in a long time.

So let's hope he can pull out the public option. :)

Have you even head him talking about it?

The will of a president can go a long way if he uses it.

Hi peepers. Enjoying yourselves? ;)

there you go.

I take pride in it. :)

I stay out of there.

LOL! :D

and Volunteer leader during the election, some of the crowd over there isn't happy I'm critical of policy.

The best leaders need critique. Real critique, not the party based nonsense.

How could we possibly know if he is the best president in a while?

He hasn't even completed his first year.

I'll reserve my judgment.

Being the best President we've had in a long time is not saying much, in order to pull us out of this mess he needs to be the best President since FDR.

that he does not hurn out. I noticed that his hair is getting gray.

I saw him twice, in April his hair was black, in October he was developing Gray splotches.

If he could, what a victory for all that is good, and what a defeat for Fox News it will be.

K&R.

You know that anyone and everyone with any legitimate point to critique the status quo and bring to the discussion table is demeaned by your total batshittery, right?

:rofl:

Harumph I say! HArumph!

?

Serious dipshittery going on there.

He's certainly the best president we've had since Jan 20, 2001.

I hope he'll do something to get the public option, but he's looking pretty flaky on the point.

... that another "great talking" but "nothing doing" president is the greatest we've had in a long time.

Really sad.

When we:

Stop bailing out banks and start bailing out America

Pass health care reform that isn't just another sop the the insurance and pharma lobby

Get the fuck out of the middle east

Actually enact meaningful "too big to fail" break them up legislation

Regulate financial weapons of mass destruction (derivatives) in a meaningful way

Do SOMETHING to limit the influence of corporate money in Washington

Then I'll be ready to talk about great presidents. Right now, we have a great talker, and that is ALL.

.... hasn't he done ANYTHING on my list. That's the question bozo.

honest to God, and I am 60, this is the first time since Carter that we have had a President who isn't a complete asshole with an agenda to make his buddies rich and I sure hope I am not an idiot for campaigning for him last year. I just have NO faith that anyone can become President of anything w/o an agenda. I am less fearful of Obama's agenda than I've been of the Democrats who have sought office since Carter. But after a lifetime of lies - I remain skeptical.

but considering the past couple of Prez's were real bottom of the barrel stinkers, I don't know how much that really says.

and I have to say, his heart is in the right place, he is for the people...its all the crap he has to deal with right now...I'm in it for the long haul, public option or not...for all those people complaining..they deserve Palin as President...

I'm convinced he's he best president I will see in my lifetime.

Not even Michelle Obama thinks Barack Obama is the best president we've had in a long time.

I don't know about 'best in a long time'. When you extract all the GOP presidents (Reagan, Bushes, Nixon, Eisenhower) that leaves Clinton, Carter, LBJ, JFK, Truman, FDR in recent history. Of those LBJ and FDR were far more willing to fight for what was right. Truman was willing to integrate the military and tried to overturn the Taft-Hartly act. Obama doesn't have near the backbone they did.

I think Obama is a decent person. But I think he is not really aware of the motivations and personalities of his opposition or doesn't seem to care. I hope Obama doesn't think a good speech can win over the GOP, since it can't. There are about 20-25% of this nation that are protofascist, dogmatic, uninformed, simple minded, aggressive, authoritarian, undemocratic and hateful. They control the GOP and you can't win them over with pretty speeches.

The best you can do is steamroll past them and try to negate the damage they will do in retaliation.

He is only one man

I'm more worried about Congress not doing the right thing

To be the best president we've had in a long time doesn't take very much. I have to confess that I'm losing confidence in what I had hoped was a game changing election.
