This will end in flames.

I don't like Obama much. There's my two cents, and now I'm off.

Obama is at least much better than Bush. He actually does something.

obama actually hasn't accomplished a whole hell of a lot. mind you, that still makes him better than bush, who actively harmed the country with his decisions.

we'll see where he gets with this healthcare thing. it doesn't matter what any of us think about him until 2012.

Before he was elected I was warning people that all he had going for him was a silver tongue. Sure it is nice actually having a president who can pronounce words correctly and string a coherent sentence together. Obama truly makes love to the language and that is well and good.

Yet I still can not fathom how people rallied to his 'message of change' without asking the vital question: What change would that be. They did so without thinking, defending themselves from 'Obama haters' who might of just mentioned the fact they should research their candidate a little better. No not the real morons who hated him for being a D or being black, but the people who wanted to know what his positions really where... he wasn't saying, even with all that fine language.

No one bothered to pondering the follow up question of: How to bring this change about, given the whole system is broke? Even I didn't think to heavily on this one, on just how someone who really wanted to bring change could A) Get elected in the first place and B) bring about change in a system designed to be a field of landmine for all good intentions.

So I sadly have to say most Obama followers wanted a feel good moment and nothing more. They wanted just to elect someone with charisma to distance themselves from the prior brain dead president and that is what they got... a guy with Charisma and not much else going for him. I really wish it wasn't so, Obama is a nice guy over all from what I have seen, but he promised very little and is going to deliver even less regardless of what we think on him.

This question is asked WAY too much around here. Let's give it a rest for tonight, please? It's getting about as commonplace as a "Do you hate Fox News?" thread.

 

[TheTygerfire]

No politics on my Escapist, please. I hate when people discuss this shit in real life.

Theres just too much to handle!

 

[Skeleon]

Can't tell yet.
The question is whether he'll really follow through on his promises or keep watering everything down.
Better than the alternative for sure, though.

 

[vamp rocks]

politicians always talk about change... and 90% of the time they lie... i dont see why Obama got so much hype, just because he based his entire campaign around change doesnt mean that he will definitely deliver... and so far he hasnt fufuilled many of his promises

As I look out on the field of ashes that was once the Escapist, I can't help but think "They did it. The bastards really went ahead and did it."
