about what I expected random thoughts Send a noteboard - 23/06/2010 04:09:08 PM
1. Did you vote for President Obama?


no

2. Do you feel he is knowledgeable about foreign relations?


I don't really think knowledge or the lack there of is the issue.

3. Are you happy with the way he is handling the "War" that isn't a war in the Iraq and Afghanistan?


I think he dug himself s hole by making Afghanistan the focus over Iraq during his campaign. I don't know if I believe it is possible to have a positive outcome in Afghanistan.

4. Do you feel he has helped or hindered the US's image in the world? Why/How?


Both I suppose. It showed the world we would elect a black to office. But to be honest I think we should spend as much time worrying about what they rest of the world thiks of us as they spending worrying about how we think of them.

5. How do you feel he's handled the BP oil spill situation?


he has shown his typical lack of leadership. He pretty much tried to blame Bush and dodge any responsibility for correcting things until even his own supporters started screaming.

6. Do you feel like he has lived up to the hype of his campaign?


I don't think anyone could live up the hype created during the campaign. That is no reason to let him off the hook though. We elected a man we knew almost nothing about and who had almost no track record based on the promise of that hype, hype he worked hard to create.

7. What do you feel he has done "right" as the President?


He has been working hard to cut excess spending on weapon systems our military says they don't need.

8. What do you feel he has completely missed the mark on as president?


leadership

he needs to stop campaiging and stop blaiming Bush. He ask for the job and now he needs to man up.

9. Do you believe that we'd be in a full fledged depression if he hadn't pushed through those bail-out and stimulus packages? If no, why not?


Well first he didn't pass most of the bailout, Bush did. The bailouts were probably needed to keep things from spreading but I don't like the way they have been done. Same with the stimulus, it was needed but was handled badly.

Without the bailouts things may have gotten a lot worse but the stimulus just bent the curve a little and probably wasn't worth it.

10. If you answered YES to #1, and the election were in November, would you vote for Obama again?


I didn’t vote for him and chances are very small I will in 2012. I guess it would depend on who the republicans put up.
