Excuse me but did I just wake up and fine out that America has a King. I thought that all elected officials including the President where public servants. I keep hearing that I am not suppose to criticize President Obama. So when Barack flies Michelle to Paris on our dime for a date, I am suppose to say "Oh is that not great"? When Obama spent 174 million taxpayer dollars to have the most expensive inauguration in history when he could have done it free, I am suppose to say "Good Job"? When Obama pushed hundreds of billions of dollar that has only stimulated debt am I just to turn a blind eye? When Obama flies all over the world and blames America for all the worlds ills am I just to say YEAH! I really do fell sorry for everyone that just goes along with whatever government says and does. Call me anti-authoritarian nut I would rather be that than a government tool like some of you.

I don't think we have a king just yet, but things are certainly headed in that direction. ANYONE who says ANYTHING critical or negative about Obama is automatically dubbed a racist at the very least. *Sarcastic tone* I am SURE that Obama didn't use taxpayer's dollars or Air Force One to take his wife to Paris for a date. I am certain that he paid for that out of her PERSONAL checking account, and that they flew coach on a Delta Airlines flight he personally booked on hotwire.com. LOL *end sarcastic tone* We are ALL government tools because we continue to be good Americans and let the IRS illegally rob us of our wages in the form of income taxes. We continue to elect people like "King Obama" to public office, and to allow them to do whatever they please with our money. I would venture to say that probably 75% of the people who voted for Obama had NO clue who he really was or what he stands for, or that at the very least, the ONLY reason they voted for him is because he is BLACK. In their defense, however, I think they also realized that John McCain was not any better of an option than Obama was. America was pretty much screwed in this election NO MATTER WHO WON, because there was not a candidate on the ballot that was even remotely worth voting for.

I think the most bothersome stupidity to me is the claims that if I disagree with his $10 Trillion dollars of new debt over the next 10 years, that I'm racists. My favorite author is Thomas Sowell. Favorite columnist is Walter E Williams. And my best friend is a black Somali girl. But no no... I disagree with Obama, I must be racist. Ugh... retards.

The problem is individuals like Thomas Sowell and Walter E. Williams are viewed as uncle Toms.

Compared to what Bush has done, Obama's good. Now, Obama's having to clean up Bush's mess, which included telling the rest of the world that they suck, and must do whatever the US says. Bush authorized ILLEGAL wire-taps, and when civil rights groups tried to bring justice by suing the companies, Bush gave them a blanket protection. Oh, and would someone like to tell me what happened to the $250 BILLION Bush gave out, without any strings, at the end of his term. It occur to anyone that Obama's spending so much money, to fix the messes Bush did, like spending $10 BILLION/mo, on Iraq alone?

0bozo is continuing Bush's programs and spending even more. He is a continuation of Bush at a greatly increased rate. Get a clue.

The Illegal wire-taps that Obama himself voted in favor of? Those illegal wire-taps? The blanket protection that Obama recently re-authorized? Those protections? Like that $787 Billion, on top of the $250 Billion, plus an additions $450 Billion, that Obama gave out? Those Billions? Did it ever occur to you that the total amount spent on Iraq by Obama's first day in office, was only $800 Billion? He spent more than that much in his FIRST MONTH. So Bush spent $800 billion on Iraq over 6 years. Obama blows $800 Billion in his first month, on nothing! What did his money do? Unemployment is higher now, than his own economic adviser claimed it would be if they spent nothing. The Economy has not rebounded, and every company Obama bailed out, has gone bankrupt anyway. At least Bush's 6 years and $800 brought freedom to an oppressed people in Iraq. Obama did NOTHING... absolutely NOTHING!

Read HR 645. He's not cleaning up Bush's messes...lol. Obama's not only contributing to Bush's messes...he is inventing some new twists to them. In a speech in front of our founding document and source of LAW in America, The Constitution, Obama bashed George Bush for tearing down the Constitution and THEN announced that he wanted this HR 645 Bill to pass and even demanded it pass, this Bill provides for the prolonged detention of suspected domestic terrorists, note and remember...Pelosi's list of dangerous groups? (veterans and conservatives) who are called 'terrorists' (while mid eastern terrorists are called 'extremists) and NOW the Veteran's Administration HAS to ask all patients if they plan on hurting themselves or others and if they have plans of overthrowing the government before they can get treatment! In other words...they're asked "are you terrorists?" WHAT MORE HAS TO HAPPEN FOR YOU ALL TO BELIEVE THAT THIS MAN IS A PLANT TO DESTROY US? Who is paying for all these 'plans' of his? lol China is buying up all our industry and who knows who owns all our debt? We are no longer the land of the free and home of the brave...we are slaves to whomever pays these bills. Cause we're all out of work! and can't pay them. In my opinion all politicians are in bed together and one is just as bad as the other. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they all sat down together and planned the downfall of America with the head of the EU and the Federal Reserve board and then asked...who can we get to make this palateable..and then got Bush elected and held Obama on reserve till things were in place for the big finish!

I don't know if I'd call him the "King" of "US". Maybe a Czar.... Not for long though there are plans to March on Washington and take OUR country back in September.

I think you are a silent protester of President Obama, As far as I know. Obama, is right to apologize about what American did, in the terms of George Bush. Think about Iraq, right now? I don't why they do that in Iraq? But the things came into my mind is that they have more interest on that country instead they provide democracy. In other side of the world, Americans is the only nations protecting people in government abuse. I am praise about that and praise Obama, has to say.

Agreed that Obama is at least mending the world view on America a bit. It's funny how the sky was falling while Bush was President,now that Obama is President the 30% or so who still liked Bush can blame it on him. Reality is, there have always been people who believe the sky is falling. Government and politics are not simple when you are the one pushing the buttons. Issues are complicated and NOONE really knows the absolute best way to govern. Americans always bad mouth leaders, it is our way. Either way,I know people should have the right to elect leaders and the U.S. elected Obama and we should see how things play out. We can vote again in 2012. That is really all there is to it when it comes to being a citzen...not rocket science.

Politics is not easy to perform. Maybe someone will praise you, someone will criticized you. But things about politics in U.S. is that after election, political rivals are accepting the result without accusing one another of cheating the election. All criticism before the election is not a personal matter. Not like the political games in the Philippines, where politicians not accepted defeat. The President, won the election is become the puppet of political party's. President, is loyal to his/her party, not loyal the country where he/she promise to execute the law, perform without intervention of his/her party. Just patient about how President Obama, trying to rebuild the economic status of U.S. and the image itself of the American people in the International community. You, need to understand that when pres obama, became president the economy of the United State, is meddling in the time of George Bush. I think George Bush, responsible for the down turn of economy. He is focusing on war, versus terrorist in Iraq, without notice that the economy is going down.

I'm hoping that this honeymoon period that Mr. Obama is enjoying will come to an end soon, once people realize that this character does not have the interests of American citizens at heart. He's an A-1 narcissist, but he is not king. I can see the media turning on him, though...if things get bad enough, they'll turn against him, even the most liberal of the media.

0bozo thinks that he is king. He and his followers view him as a ruler and not a leader. I view him as a self absorbed despot and a usurper who is in a position that he is neither eligible or qualified for.

Oh he is not just the King, he is a demi god, the so called messiah, the false god that all Americans and those of the world must fall down and worship. He can do what he wants, but if we spend too much money, if we drive a mini van, if we have too many children, and if we do not use those dinky cars that only carry four skinny people and maybe a small bag of groceries, we are selfish brutes. He has been given more chances then any other president. The sooner he is gone, the better. Oh and did you know that one of the signs that a government is going bad is that it is forbidden to criticize its leader?

Dear friend, I hope somebody should be there and who ever is in that position will have to face criticism and also praise if done for it. But I do respect Obama as a the President until now as I could see that it is going well. May be I have wait and see for a better judgment.

If Obama cannot endure positive critism without resorting to claims of racism, then he is not the right man to be the President of the United States. He must never forget he is a servant of the people, not their King. He willing became President and promised he would lead by example, therefore he should do as he promised. I hate news about his wifes wardrobe, I'm honestly not interested in a 50 year old womans sense of fashion, she is not a model nor a celebrity. I do not care about Obama's family life, he should do the job he was elected for... the country doesn't need a celebrity but a leader that takes actions and brings peace to America. Obama hasn't really done anything, he talks a lot but can't bring about the change he promised. Anybody with a good moral sense would take the same decision to ban torture, that doesn't make him a hero. He is allowing the richest people to commit crimes by stealing tax payers money to repair their failed companies.

Michelle Obama is finally proud to be an American. Wow... The press lauds her fashion sense and Sarah Palin is hounded and ridiculed for buying the same. The press is told that candidate Obama's family is off limits to discuss....but a Sarah Palin's family is fair game...even to the point of Letterman getting a free pass to joke about s e x with her fourteen year old daughter!

You're not "anti-authoritarian", you just wish YOU were the "authoritarian". So bitter and angry over: 1) an inauguration that America BEGGED for, 2) business as usual Presidential travel 3) A stimulous plan that is textbook economics for a struggling economy 4) and an international policy that actually gives us a chance to be partners in this ever-changing world, instead of stand-offish bullies You have differing ideas from the President and his staff and you question our leaders, which is very important, but just as Obama is not King, neither are you. You must be prepared to understand President Obama is in a much more informed position than most of us and you are more likely to be wrong than he is. Everything else is just different political approaches to our problems.

Is Obama King? Hello there, while I'm not really into politics I would like to attempt to answer just a few of your questions. The first one, Is Obama King? Well he is not king but he is just a man that happens to be the head of one of the most powerful countries in the world. When he spend money to pay for traveling etc, it's the same thing any other president would be doing and have done in the past, so don't start hating on our president. With the government, it's just an organization and if you can't beat it, then you might as well join it. Happy mylot, hope you have a great day and quit all of your hating because you will never be able to beat the government, so you might as well chill out. On second thought, it's good that you are getting your feelings out but it's not really much that you can do about it. Also just think, if it wasn't Obama, then it would be somebody else. Would you be mad them too for doing the exact same thing? You might as well get over it....... Happy mylot.....

I dont know, I think that is the problem with America, most of us think we cant do anything about the government, that isnt true, while yes, it might be hard, but there are things we can do...If we dont everything about America can become completely different and turn this country into the opposite of everything it was founded on..

I have been saying the same things about him! Like his announcements he was making from various places in the country when fuel costs were higher saying how he was gonna save us money... I always thought hey save me some dang money and announce this crap from the White House Press Room where normal presidents do! Stop bowing to Saudi princes and worry about the things that need to be worried about. Stop spending my money so your old lady and two little kids can see france.. Hell I want to see france are you (Obama) gonna pay for me and my family to go now that I have helped pay for your family to go? No? His policies suck and his supporters are blinded by his skin color and his smooth talking!
