If People actually went to a good, honest news websites, and read all the GOOD things that President Obama has done since taking office (2 years ago) - they would find that they LOVE Most of President Obama's policies.

First, I'm a very independent voter, well-educated, and a retired educator.

Here's the thing with me re: the President. Agreed - very likeable. But - very deceptive, to the point of not being able to count on him to stand and deliver what he says. To wit: We are still in Afganistan. This is the man who, like myself, opposed the Iraq War from the Gitgo. This is the man who abandoned his own Minister, when the man was exploited and misinterpreted by the Press and the Country. ??? He seems to be a master at saying what "seems right" - but then capitulates in the face of opposition for political expediency. I call that weakness. It is not Courageous.

I'm still LOOKING for the MAN or WOMAN, who has the Courage and Fortitude of Truman, FDR, or Lincoln.

We need to keep in mind that when most folks are asked about "policies," anything can come to mind. And we need to keep in mind that FOX and many of the radio hosts offer constant messages about how Obama is a socialist or is anti-American or is anti-business, etc. That stuff gets to people who really do not want to spend much time with politics and/or governmental stuff. But I think that President Obama will prevail. He is a true moderate, who is solid in his convictions. Read his books to find out who he is. He is what he is. I like both him and his policies. What's not to like about health care reform in a country that get mediocre results after spending far more than most other countries for health care?

I dont like him.

I NEVER KNEW THAT WHEN PEOPLE WERE ASKED IF THEY LIKE A POLITICIAN, THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE BEING ASKED ANYTHING OTHER THAN FOR THEIR POLICIES. IT'S NOT LIKE THIS WAS A SURVEY "WHO ARE YOU INVITING TO YOUR NEXT DINNER PARTY?" LIKING THE PRESIDENT IS SYNOYMOUS WITH AGREEMENT WITH DEMOCRAT POLICIES. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PEOPLE SURVEYED APPROVE AND AGREE WITH CURRENT ADMIN POLICIES.

If you dare to respond that you don't like Obama, you'll be called RACIST.

It almost seems that the pundits, the media, and even the two major political parties believe that they can spin the American voter any way they wish, if they use the right language, or omit pertinent information, or even announce their candidacy at the right time.
The American voter is not that foolish or vapid and really recognizes honesty, fairness, morality, and yes, effective, worthwhile political and economic policies when he sees it.
The American voter will vote for the best candidate in 2012. They will compare the current President's record and evaluate his opponent accordingly.
All candidates being equal in terms of being likeable or personable, this will not be the main criterion, creating jobs, lowering taxes, and effective leadership will.

A stable society is where the citizens are self-reliant, that is, where folks grow their food, have a local source of water and fire wood to keep the home warm. A society that is highly specialized and has many lines of interdependence is inherently unstable. A society that is dependent on energy sources from half way around the world, where food is produced by relatively few farms, where every necessity is manufactured in a few places and transported by trucks fueled by oil, where a federal banking system supports the money supply and value - is a society living with risk of disaster. Almost every home in my city is built on a 50x100 lot. The residents drive cars to work and get a paycheck which they use to purchase everything. Nobody, or scarcely few, can grow their food, cut fire wood, or draw water from the well.

What would it take to cause the system to collapse, resulting in untold misery and even large scale death? How about a collapse to the world currencies? Every citizen in America owes $46,000 of federal debt. And there is little urgency in our government to reduce that number. At the moment the president and the house of representatives are bickering over a 1.6 percent (60 billion of 3.6 trillion) reduction of the budget. Hardly anyone in congress is focused on not merely a tiny reduction of the deficit (it will still be a giant deficit), but actually paying off the debt.

The fragile system of multiple lines of dependency has been growing for many decades. Some the tools and building blocks have been technology, cheap and abundant energy, land and Jeffersonian democracy. The system has enabled the world population to expand many times what a stable system would allow. It should be clear that $46,000 of debt per person CANNOT be repaid, and that devaluation in some relation to the debt is inevitable. I just hope that decline to a living standard consistent with low to no debt and with real productivity can be accomplished smoothly and without break out of chaos.

Some people in America are alarmed by the level of debt, personal, state, and federal. Too many are focused on the superbowl, Hollywood actors, and so on. Europe and the East are even more at risk than is the US, given that these places have built economies on greater per capita debt and on more elaborate or delicate lines of dependency than has America. The East depends virtually on one export, oil, for it’s living. Is your union demanding it’s share of the pie while Republicans tell them they must live with less?

Some say the world is already on fire. Is it or is it just starting? Or are the fires smoldering while the system tries to put them out?

And who's poll presented this falsehood. The American people were fooled once by this guy, not again, no matter what some unrespected poll says.

Most of America love and respect President OBAMA and support him , Obama's approval rating is now 56% & rising. OBAMA will win in 2012.
