if you don't know how to fix every f***ing problem you might face...
and you can't tell the american people in terms they will understand, before the next commercial...and you don't know all the potential 'solutions' to all those problems that the pundits have a professional interest in pointing out, not to be confused with elaborating or explaining...and you can't not only overcome the institutional maladies left from the previous administration but can't make some magical governmental entity arise to solve all accumulated problems...

why the fuck are you President?

damn...he inherited more than imagined...he inherited those who, in some part, one way or the other, did not prevent the current situation...who now want him to make things all better...

good luck, President Obama...you came to bat with two strikes and an umpire that doesn't call balls...

he deserves criticism on any matter, but to criticize without offering true solutions is just punditry of the worst sort...

but hey, you can play along at home right here on your keyboard...

4. I'm so fucking tired of the disgusting way this President is treated everyday.....
after or 30 years of collective fuck ups, I barely know what to say.
I'll tell you what though.....in the end will get what we worked hard for,
and to date, we ain't really worked for all that much. Our sacrifice have been few,
even if our mouths have been open wide with all of our brilliance or lackthereof.

7. Where the fuck is the liberal media????
MSNBC is trashing Obama, endlessly.... if I want to see that, I'll watch Fox News ... they do a much better job.

15. No doubt!
I couldn't stand hearing Olberman bashing Obama, so I flipped over to O'Reilly who was actually DEFENDING him during an interview with Palin. I thought I was in the frickin' twilight zone!

9. Has there ever before been a president...
...who faced constant opposition to his every move, even from within his own party? Ever? Pardon me being crass, but if the guy wants to take a crap, he has to wait through a Repub filibuster and a public debate on how much toilet paper is acceptable before he can wipe.

And somehow he hasn't changed the world in a whole year and a half, or found a way to wipe away countless years of entrenched corruption. I'm no cheerleader, I give Obama his share of sh-t on a lot of things, but it gets nuts.

10. Perhaps you would get expert advice ...
and tell your political advisors to 'shut the fuck up'.

11. i am all for telling the advisors to STFU...
but, it is sad to consider, there may not be 'experts' on how to fix all this...

after all, 'experts' got us into it...and i'm not sure 'these' experts are all that much different from 'those' experts...

in history, who has gotten it really right?

probably those who don't want so much rationalization of the intricacies of existence as opposed to the realization of the wonders of nature...

of course, those people must be wiped out to provide for growth and constant expansion...

12. Solutions are endlessly given and ignored. At any rate, it is a tough job
If criticism is too much to bear then don't run for the position, especially when you know the situation is way fucked up.

Expecting pundits to offer solutions if they are going to be critical pretty much sounds delusional and desperate, especially if you are also going to laugh them off and demand they shut up as soon as they do.

Maybe some are too demanding of the President but that is easily offset by those that expect less of him than they do the kid running the register at McDonald's.

13. Every politician deserves criticism
especially on a message board, every if it sounds like moaning and groaning and whiny. this is a place to vent, among other things. I don't know why people take the criticism so seriously, or personally. there are many options that can be used here (ignore, hide thread) not to "hear" the loudest "whiners"

14. what utter crap. How about seizing BP's assets?
He didn't even suggest a mild solution like that. Instead, he's going to beg Bp to consider setting aside some money for compensation if they feel like it.
