Let's give President Obama a little credit. His job is to serve the American

Bravo! I couldn't agree more and I must say, you have no idea how much courage it takes to write what you have written here...lol! I think some people have very short memories. I mean, we've gone from losing 700,000+ jobs per month to creating jobs. Granted, there haven't been nearly enough jobs created so far but it's a start and we're definitely moving in the right direction. I think the bashing the President has been taking over the oil spill is ridiculous. I don't think anyone else would be doing anything more than he is but his detractors refuse to cut him a break over anything. He was even criticized on Fox News for wearing "fancy pants" while visiting the Gulf - how infantile is THAT??? We're not supposed to make any comparisons to former President Bush because Obama has now been office for a year and a half so they're all "his problems" now, but how can you fairly assess what he's done without mentioning what he walked into?

As a Canadian I think President Obama is doing an excellent job. He is not getting the credit he deserves from the American people. Every day I see posts on myLot to the effect that he wasn't born in the US.Whats wrong with these people, Do they want G W Bush back in? Obama had a hard time to come in after Bush, because he had to clean up George's mess. Most Canadians that I know think Obama is a Great President!

You forgot to mention that he has the Wednesday evening concerts at the White House. His many Vacations. His trip to Europe to lobby for Chicago to host the Olympics. Going back to Chicago to keep touch with them every 6 weeks. He was so busy that he could not lay a wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Don't forget his golf outings and the Basketball Games. Don't forget the time he spent on his NCAA Final Picks. he has given over 400 speeches on Health Care and people still do not know what is covered or what is in the law. Al least he is not like President Bush who waited 3-4 days to visit the Gulf after Katrina. President Obama waited until it was a full blown crisis and the media forced him to go down there.

If he wants any credit from me right now he had better be doing something about THIS: "Mexican soldiers used rifles to chase off U.S. Border Patrol" http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/06/09/mexico-tensions-heightened-border-patrol-agent-kills-mexican-teen-near-el-paso/#commenting

The only credit I'll give him is for doing his part to lead America down the road to Socialism.

The problem isn't that the President isn't serving it's just that so much of what he is serving I myself and many others do not like. No I do not believe the Spill is his fault, but I do think there are options being ignored do to political red tape and I don't care who is president that crap is his job to stop, not let congress and the senate throw their weight around because some one else's sponsor might get money from it. Obama did make statements as he would do that, I did not vote for him but I know many who did who are very disillusioned.

The President is doing a good job but maybe he has not been forceful enough in some instances he should have come out stronger. Seven things the president must do now. 1. Declare a National Emergency on the Oil Spill. Seize BP's assetts. 2. Implement Sanctions on Iran. Emphasis on our support for Israel.Encourage Jerusalem as a United nations World City. 3. Send in Muslim American missionaries in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Wage a propaganda war. 4. Pass Comprehensive Immigration reform including a fence built by the private sector and more aggressive business into mexico campaign. 5. Pass Compenhesive Energy reform changing from oil cars to altenative fuel cars in 5 years by 5%. In 20 years by 50%. Build stations with alternative fuel refueling capability. Build Nucluer Solar, Wind and Coal plants for power needs. 20 years by 50% 6. Pass Comprehensive financiual reform. &. Bring Money into the US treasury and lower and balance the budget. By adding 5 states to the union charing each 10 billion. The new states would be Pourter Rico, Phillipins, Washington DC, Virgin Island, Marshall Island or Guam. This would add 50 million to the coffers. Privatize NASA already in motion save the Government money. Government will still privide oversight and security. Give small business with no or bad credit. Make more money than lose. 7. ______________________________________________________________
