Okay, well, because I am an idiot I will post in your stupid thread.
- Obama fantastic? The general consensus were I was deemed Obama to be better than John McCain, the republican counterpart... It wasn't like we had the greatest people to choose from since in order to run for president you need to be rich, or in polotics already. I do think he has pushed us forward rather than backwards though. Aside from being downgraded, (which wasn't his fault) the unemployment rate has gone down and the recession seems to be fading... though it has taken a very long time, and more money than we should have spent.
- Is it okay to continually bypass laws as a means to an end? If it helps people than yes. The end goal of a leader should ALWAYS be to help the people who follow you, and though I am not 100% sure he was trying to help us, I do know that he has in the past. In my opinion, most of the rules we have are idiotic, and they sure as hell don't stop our government from being corrupt as heck.
- Mars mission? I wanna go to mars.
- Bad choice for president? No, He was the ONLY choice for a president. Take a look at John McCain now. He totally changed his image from the nice, agreeable person into a right wing crony. Obama was the better choice and I will stick by it, not just because I voted for him, but because he deserved my vote.
