"what do you like about obama ?"

He hasn't invaded anyone to strip their natural resources.........................................yet!

Great quote I read today.
"For centuries, pillage by invading armies was a normal part of warfare...Nowadays we do not let armies rampage for booty. We leave it to the men in suits, and we don't call it pillaging anymore. We call it economic development." Brian Whitaker(Guardian)

It's not the Republicans that need to be kept in check, it's his own parties wingnuts that need to be tasered and locked in a dark closet.

But hey, you seem to care an awful lot about appearances rather than substance. You'd make a great American voter.
Both parties' wingnuts need to be kept in check, but the problem is that wingnuts seem to be a higher percentage of our population than in other countries like Canada.

It's either that, or we just have a system that gives too much of a voice to wingnuts.

Disturbingly what I most like about him is that he has yet to do anything outlandishly idiotic like his predecessor so often used to. I'm curious though...

at least this guy went out and gave 110% to do what he said he would.
...what are you referring to exactly? As far as his foreign policy is concerned - which is of more interest to outsiders like me - I 'm getting the feeling that not much is being done. In his defence though, this standstill is probably due to the urgence of the crisis that overshadows everything else.

This is true.  This is part of why I don't understand how people can consider Obama a leftist.  He's actually pretty moderate.

By European standards, he's right of center.

So, from a First World perspective, America really doesn't have much of a left wing.

True, as far as I know - which isn't much atm - he's changed nothing from the Bush era. He just hasn't done anything new of that sort. That's why I'm asking what he did of the things he said he'd do...

And true, America doesn't have a left wing. Obama certainly is no such thing. Not by any standards.

But, hmmm... maybe Nader? I'd vote for Nader over everyone else.

Oh and he is black.  Damn, I don't even recognize this country country anymore since the Democraps took over.  Soooooo, much change!!!!!

Hell, man.  Get him an absentee ballot.  If you're voting for the right guy, doesn't matter if you're not actually American, not actually alive, or not actually.. actual factual really real.


What do I like about Obama?

  • We can be done with the white guilt routine. (your ancestors got treated poorly by the White Man?  boo fucking hoo hoo, sign a petition and stand the fuck in a long goddamned line. My ancestors were getting systematically and efficiently loaded into the finest most durable Teutonic ovens by my other ancestors a few decades ago.  Pick up your ass and rebuild, tougher and stronger, so it can never happen again - or stand around and cry about being a victim.  Your call)
  • He's proof that the left can 'build a better idiot' just as well as the right. Biden and Pelosi are just the counterpoint to remind us that it could've been much much worse.
  • He's not GWB, Biden, or Pelosi.
  • Amateur Hour at the White House: Part Two - Back in Black is over in 2012.. or 2016.

I guess my point was, For years I watched everyone dangle free heath care during a campaign and then forget about it. Now we just gotta get rid of it.
