Obama effect pushes US into most admired poll position

Anything is better than Bush!

Yeah, with Bush we were at the bottom of the pile.

Of course no one liked GW, because he sent us to war. No one likes war because they don't understand it. That poll is a crock anyway, I bet they only polled the countries we provide aid to.

Obama hasn't accomplished anything yet, and I doubt he will. He was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize after being in office for two months.

He did a lot more than send the US into war. He nearly bankrupted this country.

Would you trade Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for Bush?

In a heart beat!

Jodo, of the two Bush Presidents, Bush Sr. (Daddy) was a much better President...including his education. He at least sounded Presidentail rather than an illiterate nitwit like Junior did.

I think someone needs to move to Iran.

Elizabeth I never said Jr. was a great President, but it could be worse. Wait, it is worse. Obama won the NPP because of what he said he was going to do, and may eventually get to when he's done ruining the economy. I'm still waiting to hear that we're pulling out of Iraq, that was supposed to be in July of '09. Now we're sending 300k more troops to Afghanistan, lots of peace going on over there.

You obviosuly didn't see that some reports are showing that the finances are pulling out of the slump, Jodo.

Oct 13, 2009 12:22 PM | Report Abuse reply

Which reports might those be?

Oct 13, 2009 12:27 PM | Report Abuse reply

I agree with you Elizabeth about Obama being better than Bush. We just have to be patient with him because he can get our beloved country out of this economic mess.

How do you know?

All he's done so far is give money to each state in order to rebuild roads and bridges. If all the other states are like mine, all those contracts probably went to a short list of companies that do all the states work. They only hire from within their own unions, and joining those unions is damn near impossible. I don't get how you people think one guy can get an entire country out of an economic slump in six months, it takes years. It took Reagan two terms, and we were still slumping well thru the Clinton years.

Thanks, Nadeem. At least *someone* agrees with me.

Oct 13, 2009 3:36 PM | Report Abuse reply

you welcome Elizabeth. Jodo it all comes down to being patient and believe that he can.
take care both of you.

Oct 14, 2009 3:50 AM | Report Abuse reply

Yeah, that's true, Nadeem. You're welcome.

"All he's done so far is give money to each state in order to rebuild roads and bridges."

Bullsh!t, he's put funding back into foreign establishments(Mexico City Policy), Stem Cells Research, State Children's Health Insurance Program! He also signed the Fair Pay Act and the Freedom of Information Act! Nominating the first Hispanic ( Sonia Sotomayor) for Supreme Court Justice, strating to close "Gitmo" and "hopefully"pull out of the war are all great things that Obama has done!

He is not perfect though, I wasn't happy at all with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009! There was no need to give these Banks & Auto Makers cash! If they fall on their face, that's business, not our problem!

Oct 14, 2009 11:54 AM | Report Abuse reply

 

Uh...I think the Freedom of Information Act's been around for decades, Boobius, so Obama couldn't have signed it.

But generally speaking the thing about the kids health insurance is one thing he has done right which Bush Jr. screwed up.
