Welcome to Gaia! ::

nearly every politician is spineless republicans and democrats. as for our esteemed president I feel he is a smart man with an amazing oratory skill but alas he puts it to wrong use. the one thing he and manyother politicians are lacking is commen sense. commen sense would have told them that you cant spend your way out of debt. commen sense would have told them not to pull out of the bail outs a measure preventing bonuses only to a week later grill ceo's for receiving them. commen sense would have told them that when you trash the dollar by printing money without end the economy would get worse not bettercommen sense would have told them that some dictatores are unwilling to come to the table and that when they fix elecctions in their own country our leaders should emediatly cease relations with them. but I guess the Americn people are partialy to blame for having electing these people and trusing them to uphold and defend the Constitution.

I have t but am only on the second chapter. its is a good book.

I personally would disagree. I wish I could call him spineless, if he was he would have bowed to the will of the people as a spineless person does under pressure. So, correct me if I'm wrong but to me Obama is far more devious than that. He is calculating in his attempts to bring down the country around our ears. His allying with dictators is, I think, not an expression of spinelessness but an expression of the kind of government rule that he approves of. However, I'm of the opinion that this could work out for the better. I'll tell you why, Obama is like a high stakes gamble. If we let him do as he pleases he and his associates could do irreparable harm. I propose that if we continue to press and hold congress at bay until the 2010 elections, then get the right people in to hold the administration at bay till 2012 we will be better off because conservatives have finally woken up. We're no longer content to sit there and yell at the TV screen. We've learned that we can no longer afford to be the "Silent Majority" and that we need to speak out to defend the constitution alongside those elected officials that actually deserve to call themselves Congressmen and Senators. If we're keep at it and if we're lucky, I think America can come away from Obama better off than it was.

Call me optimistic. I know I kind of switched topics but I was writing and it just flowed out.

i dont think he is at all i think he is more of a spoiled little brat that all ways got his way in the past and now he cant get his way and its pissing him off. he has the touch of death every think he touches turns to mush.

I think this is a little extreme when you are talking about the condition of the country. If you ask me, the real spineless president was Bush because he caused two wars and screwed up the economy and he was a conservative also. Remember that the problems that Obama is dealing with now are not problems that he caused, it was the previous administration. Do you want a President like Bush who took up bribes and allowed Enron to steal millions of dollars from the people. Do you all remember the blackouts that we happening in California. Enron stole 30 billion dollars from the State. Now that's a presidency that I want again.

What liberates has he eroded? I am not a huge Obama supporter because there are things that I do not agree with him on like expanding nuclear energy, but he has not really eroded the liberties of the nation. He has actually taken some sort of an initiative to amend the problems. I agree on criticizing some of Obama's actions but the people are getting idiotic calling him a communist. Seriously, people need to start educating themselves on the truth. It's making me sick already.

He is not a communist but he is putting us on the road there with all his socialist ideas.
Did any of you read the CNN article about how Obama is not a socialist but Sarah Palin is?
