Doesn't President Obama deserve time to try to right the wrongs of the past?
 President Obama is not responsible for eveything that is wrong with the U.S. or the failures of the last eight years. He didn't


Illegally invade Iraq


Ignore the war in Afghanistan


Order detainees to be tortured


Repeal Glass Steagall


Implement the policies that led to the economic crisis


Cause the failure of the health care system


Give the lobbyist control of DC


Sign DADT into law


Sign DOMA into law


Sign NAFTA into Law


Underfund NCLB


Stack the courts with right wing hacks


Ignore the environment


Ignore Louisiana after Katrina


The list goes on---from homelessness in America to unemployment.

People will criticize Obama every step of the way as he tries to mend or reverse failing policies. He should expect criticism on the issues because not everyone is going to approve of his approach. However, for much of the time that he has been in office, some people have been questioning his character, labeling him a sell out, comparing him to Bush and posting facts about the effects of Bush's policies as if these were failures of the Obama administration.

Dissent shouldn't be an undeserved attack on the whole person. President Obama has done a tremendous amount of good since taking office. He has made missteps, and not everyone is going to agree with his approach to every issue. That doesn't mean he isn't trying, that he is a failure as a leader or that he is automatically right or wrong: he is trying to do the best he can---from Katrina to withdrawing from Iraq.

He deserves an appropriate amount of time to accomplish his agenda, and it's disgraceful that some people have chosen, from day one, to use distortions to question his motives.

Yeah geez give the man a break it takes a while to undo over 200 years of evil.  :whatever:

Every thing that Obama is messing up they will blame on Bush. I am willing to bet that it will somehow be Bush's fault that they have to buy insurance or pay fines.  :mental:

If that Obama puppet is the answer, the question must have been really stupid.

Shouldn't Obama be in the dock for this then and not Bush?

The problem with Bo blaming the past, and it's been only 10 months since Bo took office, is that Bo, the Obamaites, and the primitives all promised us during the presidential campaign last year that at 11:01 a.m. January 20, 2009, all would suddenly change.

They didn't promise us change; they promised us instant change, change in the twinkling of an eye.

Ten months is a damn sight longer than "instantly."

During other changes in presidential administrations, I've always given the president, whether friendly or hostile to him, about a year, before complimenting him or blaming things on him, because one can't control the past, and changes take a while.

But in the case of Bo, since Bo, the Obamaites, and the primitives promised us "instant change," that's the standard by which I judge Bo.  If my judgement of Bo seems too harsh, it's Bo's, the Obamaites', and the primitives' own fault--they set the standards by which we are to judge Bo, and Bo is obviously falling far short of his, and their, standards.

Assuming Obama is a one-term president - he has already used up a quarter of his time in office (I don't count the lame duck months form election until inauguration of the new President..nothing happens then) - even as a two term President, Obama has already used up about 13% of his time in power -- How much more time does he need before he becomes responsible for his actions, primitives ?
