Is Barack Obama floundering...?

[DiscoMan]

I don't listen to Rush.
He listens to me...
Seriously, I don't; I'm working while he's on the air.
I am concerned, BO is supposed to be "The Annointed One" and so far he is a big disapointment. And we can't afford a disapointment - he's not focused and it shows.

Shiver me timbers, lands sakes alive, great balls of fire, good golly Miss Molly.....

Obama's been POTUS for 6 weeks and, you're telling me he hasn't solved the world's problems???? The teeny mess he inherited that's been 30 years in the making???? He's had 6 weeks, fer christ's sake!!!

....get me to my fainting couch---I'm feelin' a massive case of the vapors. I've lost all faith.

It's not the lack of results, it's the "lack" of direction.

Yep
this same Hannity crowd that's trying to tag this already existing mess as "Obama's Failed Economy" are the same Limbaugh types that said 9/11 was in no way lil' Bush's fault because he'd only been president for eight lil' months !

what 's the name of that game you're playing...what's the name of that game

You must've missed it. We turned left !

Quite frankly, I'm more concerned about the lives of people on main street. And even if if the greedy, rich, self interested bastards on wall street can't see past the billions they've sucked out of the economy, it is main street where true recovery will begin for them too.

I may have some misgivings about the President's unwillingness to go full-bore and take on the "economic royalist", but it's only been a few weeks. You've had 8 god damn years of the bush-cheney criminal cabal raiding the treasury. I certainly don't wanna hear from that side of the political spectrum discussing economics.
Nothing personal DM but you must be a rich republican to make your case, otherwise you have to a brain dead republican!

OMG.. LMAO........

The American public spoke out very loudly this past election,and it would behove the bitter naysayers to shut
up and to try to help the situation instead of talking
about the next election.This is a time where we need to come together and help each other-and if that's being a socialist then slap the label on me and put a bright blue ribbon on top,I am through with all this negativity.Give the man some space to do his job-he may surprise you.

Yeah Dayna, Marky remicks, DM, thommy, etc., even though the President is no liberal, and I have some concerns about his cabinet and positions on certain policies, I'm taking a wait and see approach.

As a sidenote, some of you might remember I was and still am a huge Howard Dean man. He is now back at his grassroots organization, Democracy For America.
What's interesting is Pres Obama didn't find a place for him in his cabinet. Given it was Dean's DFA that helped Obama early on, along with the 50 state strategy that helped Obama get elected.
I would love to read some inside politics on this but have yet to read anything credible.

AMEN..
As allot of us know..
Your average,(not all)"straight, white, un transgenderd person" is going to be scared of what they think will compromise their comfort level.
Their comfort level being things staying as unbalanced and one sided as they have always been..Let's get down to the real issue.
Some of their apprehension is due to pure
Prejudice and ignorance.I have faith in Obama because faith is all I have to go on plus I voted for Him.
I will certainly tell you that anything will be better than the last two presidential terms we have barely survived.
and Thommy is so correct in saying give the man a chance and stop sweating President Obama~!!
I know one thing. MIchelle will be playing some of the best music the White House has ever heard..
Look at and read this article below..
So Disrespectful.. See how Disco is also linked to some people's UN-comfort level?

You know, I would have loved the disco Obama but there is one obvious flaw in this Obama smear. The "young" Barack looks as old as he does now. That so called "kid" looks like a man in his 40s at studio 54.

Nice try for those guys but they should have tried and get a younger Barack photo to "smear" him.

The Annointed One's administration is certainly beginning to look like a motley collection of left-wing amateurs:

arrested in FBI raid at Obama appointee's office March 12, 2009 - 12:20pm

WASHINGTON - A D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer employee and a private contractor have been arrested in a federal bribery sting, sources tell WTOP.
D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer employee Yusuf Acar and Advanced Integrated Technologies Corporation (AITC) President and CEO Sushil Bansal have been arrested, sources tell WTOP.
Acar, 40, was taken into custody Thursday morning by FBI agents at his home in Northwest D.C.
In 2008, Bansal's firm received .Net Development Support and Peoplesoft Consulting Support contracts from the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Office totaling $350,000.
AITC has also received contracts from the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles. In 2008, Bansal received the Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the Association of Indians in America, according to AITC's Web site.
The FBI is now serving a search warrant at the office of D.C.'s Chief Technology Officer, WTOP has learned.
"We are there as part of a continuing ongoing criminal investigation," FBI Washington Field Office spokesperson Katherine Schweit tells WTOP.
Schweit would not comment on the details of the investigation.
More than a dozen FBI agents - including evidence technicians - at the office, located at 1 Judiciary Square on 4th Street in Northwest, WTOP's Mark Segraves reports.
Most of the employees have been told to go home. Other employees have been segregated into a waiting room.
Segraves reports the FBI's search has expanded from 9th floor offices to 10th floor offices.
A spokesman for D.C.'s U.S. Attorney tells WTOP he cannot discuss the investigation, as it is currently sealed.
On March 5, President Barack Obama named D.C. Chief Technology Officer Vivek Kundra as the federal government's chief information officer.
Kundra's last day was March 4.
Kundra, who was in charge of technology in the District since 2007, has been a consultant to Obama since he won the election. (Copyright 2009 by WTOP. All Rights Reserved.)
