Obama's Mideast Success Jacks Expectations

So far, Obama has done very well getting the world to like him. We shall wait and see how well he does getting the world to follow him. So far, a vague promise from France for help with Gitmo, refusal from everyone else. Israel/ Palestine is just talk until Israel stops settlements and Hamas and others stop threatening genocide . From that point, perhaps, there will be a chance. I'm not holding my breath. Failing any of that, Obama is just a better spoken failure than Bush, Clinton and the rest. It's about actual change not just better rhetoric. Beat up on Bush all you want, it's the programs he began and Obama continues that are preventing attacks on this country.(unless you deny that plots have been stopped, which puts you on the Follow the Fearless Leaders train..)

The US is screwed you cant be friendly to an area that for thousands of years has only respected the most forceful people. It all starts by shaking hands with chavez and then bowing to the saudi king and then the next thing you know those two are trying to dictate what goes on in the US, and then when they don't get what they want what happens? Also we do have the best medical system in the world its just that democrats are too lazy to get jobs or figure out how to pay for things they actually need instead of what they want. These same democrats need to stop spending other peoples futures away as well as to stop giving it away, ie welfare, food stamps, and other government subsidies, make people work for something instead of just having another kid to get more money. Obama, the campaign is over stop campaigning and lead the country and make some decisions, a lot of promises were made that are not being kept. Think about that democrats you elected a leader about change and what change have we seen? To close both parties suck right now and government officials need to work for us instead of having pissing matches with each other. Later Reply
