Well, me being brazilian, don't have so much contact with what Obama does, we just know about big things that he makes.But before his election, there was so much buzzing abour him, so many people talking him showing up everywhere, so i thought he would make something really different, change everything. Since i did'nt notice so drastic changes, what you americans can talk about it?I can't put my opinion since i don't really have one about it.

I knew Obama was going to be bad for our nation BEFORE he was elected, and I am not at all satisfied with the job he is doing. It seems to me that he is really quick to swoop in and take credit for the work that others are doing, as in the case of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico (where I happen to live), where he claimed that his people were "here from day one". In reality, according to some reports, he REFUSED help from the Dutch, and from a couple of American companies who were ready to respond to this disaster as little as THREE DAYS after the oil rig exploded. Now does that seem like the actions of a President who has the best interest of his country at heart? I think not. It seems to me that he should have been welcoming any and all help in a situation like this. If I had been the President, and I had been in Obama's position, I would have not only welcomed help, I would have probably been ASKING for help. I feel that in certain situations, it is better to have the help on hand and not need it than to need it and not have it. In reality, he hasn't really done a whole lot as president, except for passing ObamaCare, which is going to put our country in worse shape that it is already in. Otherwise, all he has really done is use his benefits as president, such as Air Force One, to travel around and entertain his friends and family. He is like a big kid in the proverbial candy store. The sooner we can get Obama OUT OF OFFICE, the better off our country will be...

So what did George Bush do that was so great? Start a war over oil!!!! Everyone is riding Obama because he is black. If it was a white man in office doing the same exact thing then it wouldn't be a big deal. Why don't you people let it go and just give him the same opportunity and any other president. He has to clean up Bush's mess first then he will take the last 2 years to start implementing his plans for this country. You can't change the world in 1-2 years!! Racism will never end and as much as people want him to fail he not going to. I want to see what people will be saying in a couple more years after he makes his changes to this racially infested world we call earth
