[quote:Lurker 718301:MV8xMDgyMjAwXzE3MjI4NTQ3X0FDN0NFRTM3] For now, I refuse to speak a word against our President. Never in my lifetime have I ever seen the scope and depth of problems that this man has had to face. (I'll be sixty this year and watched my father panic during the Cuban Missle crisis, so I'm talkin' about a lot of years between then and now.) Never have I seen the economy is such bad condition, on the verge of collapse before Obama took office. TARP which bailed out the banks was passed before he took office, but The Recovery Act from which local communities have benefited was passed within weeks of Obama's becoming President. 1. The Recovery Act Never have a seen a foreign policy so screwed up as when Obama took office. Two endless wars that Obama has addressed by drawing down troops in Iraq and changing strategy in Afghanistan. The peace process in Israel completely derailed, which Obama has attempted to address by appointing George Mitchel as a special envoy. North Korea more isolated and militant than ever, which Obama has addressed by engaging China more on that issue. Iran on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons, which Obama has addressed by bringing Europe and particularly Russia into the diplomatic issues. Contempt for the United States worldwide for Iraq policy and condoning torture, which Obama has addressed by stopping the use of torture and by reaching out not only to allies in Europe, but also to the rest of the world, which includes (like it or not) Islamic nations. 2. Redirecting foreign policy. Never in my life have I seen the middle class so burdened and even threatened by the expense of Health Care. My father whom I mentioned earlier had the security of knowing that he would not go bankrupt because of medical bills, which was a big deal because he had serious health problems. 3. Health Care Reform Never in my life have I seen the banking industry so corrupt. 4. Banking Reform in conference committees in the House and Senate. Should be signed this summer. Never in my life have I seen the United States on the certain path of $5.00 a gallon gas prices. 5. Alternative energy policies in discussion in the House and Senate now. Also, the Recovery Act provided money for small businesses that addressed energy issues. Never in my life have I seen the American public so ill-informed about politics and foreign policy, but Obama can't do anything about ignorance. On top of the problems the man was handed when he took office, we now have an unprecedented and life-changing event going on right now in the form of the 2010 Oil Gusher. I believe the man started on Day One to address this problem as completely as possible, given the nature of the scientific limitations and the scope of the logistics involved. This is not the time to bitch and complain. This event is too serious. Too monumental. Too overwhelming for any country. So I refuse to speak a word against any man who would be President now. I'm reminded of an article in "The Onion" that was written when Obama was elected, titled: "Black Man Gets Worst Job in History." [/quote]
