Doesn't it seem a little off that as American's we are talking down about the president- who won the election, whether you voted for him or not...we should want him to do WELL.

if he does good- you do good, your family does good, your kids do good- and our country as a whole does good.

He is just now in charge of a country, who was already stuggling and we all knew was in a recession- yet we act as if he should fix everything in 2 days.

I come from both a republican and democratic family. But honestly for all you people, 'counting down' his failure- your idiots. Even if you do not always agree in his actions, at least have a little faith. The more bad comments towards him the more negative our country is going to be which is just the more we are going to fail.

It's depressing that you can complain so much. If you want stuff to change so rapidly get off your lazy butt and do something.

But as for our new president, I wish him all the luck. To be in the public's eye with a family is hard enough, but to also make decisions that not everyone is going to agree with, and remind you of it everytime. I hope people learn to give others chances.

I don't care if he is blue black white or pink- He has faith in our country...which a lot of us seem to be lacking.

It reminds me of group projects you had to do in school. You always have one or two people who cry when they don't get their way. So instead of compromising they just give up and hope the entire group fails. In this case, some people would rather the entire country fail than put aside their petty differences and work together like Americans should.

As a person I have no ill will towards the man he seems like a nice guy but we need his policies to fail and fail miserably he is so far left he is an extremist his policies are horrible he has a awful voting record he has voted for things that would make life where I live almost impossible everything from his taxes his leniency towards terrorist and his radical anti gun agenda my disapproval of obama and his drones has nothing to do with his race just his policies if he would give in and govern more towards the right I would approve but now that he has started his agenda and we got a previews of what he supports it is too late this so called stimulus bill has crossed way too many lines and will cripple our country for years to come I hope he does a good enough job for our countries sake just nor good enough to get re-elected or institute his radical liberal policies I want whats best for our country and obama is obvoiusly not it

I wanted Bush to succeed though I did not vote for him either time and he failed miserably. I want Obama to succeed but he has really never said or done anything of substance other than get cozy with the machine that elects Presidents (see Bush) so I am not too optimistic. Already been burned by empty rhetoric. We'd have done much better electing another Clinton but she was not cozy with the all powerful one party system we have. What a shame. (You may drop the e on shame if you like)

Republican Right Wing Americans are scum, pure and simple. Yez, boz man, i do what you wont. Anything short of a cross burning is anathema. I find it difficult at best to share the same soil with their ignorant behinds. PS, a prolonged Depression is already in the cards, has been for some time- get with the program, stop blaming, for once and start helping or get the F. out of the way.

OBama does not have faith in our country. He knows it will fail if he continues in his current path, and THAT IS WHY HE IS DOING IT!



He is NOT FROM HERE! he has no allegiance to our flag and does not willingly display or salute it unless he knowingly has a friendly camera on him intended to prove he does salute or display the flag.



It's not about ranting or chanting. Obama is bad seed and intends to destroy this country.

What you don't understand is, we do not want things he believes in to pass as we believe it will be horrific in the future and too hard to remove once they take hold.

So in that aspect, we want failure...

If this country was to temporarily thrive, if we went to a communistic rule...Would you expect us to jump up and cheer?

Wouldnt it have been great if Germany wanted Hitler to fail when he started out?

I would like to see America recover and do well, but Osama ain't the one to do it. That chanting you think you hear is wailing and gnashing of teeth over what he has already done.

It's not that I want him to fail, it's just that I know hes going to. It's the New Deal all over again, a prolonged depression.

it really didn't matter who our president was because like the past things will get worst before they get better that's why it's called reconstruction

Because of the Great build up of the election. And then the Rock star atmosphere of the swearing in, makes him a target. People are haters and just don't want to see him succeed. He is in it to win it. And I hope he does well...

Unfortunately, he has inspired me with either his choices for his Cabinet or his pushing of this travesty of a stimulus bill. His insistence in passing this bill has hurt his image and his popularity.

If he dies, we are stuck with Biden, the biggest loudmouth jerk in the universe.

I want the country the founding fathers left -- you work hard, you're rewarded. Small government -- big freedoms. Simple.

The Republicans are in a frenzy, using all the hate and fear tactics that is their signature to smear him. They would rather see Obama fail, they actually assist in a Democratic success.

Pretty sad.

Those of us who didn't vote for him don't want Socialism. So if Obama fails, America wins.

I feel sorry for those who do not support Obama. They must be very unhappy.
