Obama can only disappoint

Ive been feeling ever since Barack Obama was elected to replace that god awful George Bush that people's expectations are so high that he can only disappoint.

I mean, think about it, he has become president at possibly the worst time you could. We are in the middle of this recession, global warming is worse than ever, our troops are all in Iraq and Afganistan and were all paranoid about Al Khaeda. Most of us expect him to solve all of our problems but one man can't. Its just not possible. And I also feel that most of the USA voted for him just because hes black, so for all those reasons, he can only disappoint. It's not that I don't like him (anyone beats Bush), or that im at all racist, it's that we expect too much. Does anyone agree with me and am I normal to think this way about Obama?

    Obama has been a complete failure and a far worse president than George W. Bush. Obama's primary legacy will be enormous debts that will hamper the economy for decades to come.

    The problem isnt that Obama can't deliver, the problem is that today's generation wants instant gratification. Americas problems existed before obama became president. Thanks to that moron from Texas. America won't get well over night, so people have to endure unpopular decisions that have to be made to get us back on track. It's almost like some of the things that he's doing is to protect us from ourselves. And. By the way, where the he'll was this tea party when we were getting into this mess courtesy of the bush family? Go ahead and complain about the solution instead of the problem. Don't be sheep!

    Socialist. This country is going down the drain. Don't you liberals get that there isn't an infinite money pit?!?We are BROKE. Nothing is FREE or a government CREDIT. It is YOUR tax dollars. Do some damn research once in awhile. The government has DOUBLED in size in the last ten years, you pay them. Has your life gotten twice as good in the past ten years? I think not. Show me a really amazing, successful, great Socialist country - YOU CANT. Show me a really successful, nice, all black neighborhood - YOU CANT

    he's the same but much worse cause he's black dont make one shite of a difference! Actually he will do way worse for blacks and whites around the world i think it's hilarious that race comes into this at all. He is already carrying out dubya's policies in the US and around the world wake up and smell the java!!!!!!

    Obama has had a bloody hard job and personally, I think he's done alright. I agree that people's expectations are too high. Seriously hoping he's re-elected! Don't vote in a far right Mormon, America, it's 2012.... Good luck. x

    Yes i feel the same way. I dont know why they hate on him, he hasnt done anything to make the country worse has he? He's trying his best to get everything situated, and he hasnt got shoes thrown at him. I think alot of people voted for him because he was black too, but either way he still doing a better job than bush, presidency is a very stressful job im sure so dont hate on him cuz you aint him.

    Obama is not born in the USA, why not produce the birth certificate? Obama's moral compass skewed.

    Lol..I just saw someone commenting on Socialism! Yes! I love it when people throw out the label of Socialism and don't even know the true meaning. Ignorant people make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

    You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Those that expect perfection are asshats.

    Yeah, I often think this too.

    Of course people are optimistic. I don't really think it's possible for anyone else to screw up even half as bad as Bush did. Germans want to hang him for war crimes you know.

    I think that I saw the disappointment coming. Bush was not as bad as a lot of people said because they didn't really appreciate what happened during his first year, but Obama is about as bad as we could have asked for at a time when economy was not very good, due to the fact that his socialist/bureaucratic/communist ways will harm our country.

    thats very true everyone was talking about obama like if he could really perform miracles with just twitching his nose and everyone stops and notices everthing that he has to do and what he is giving to work with everyone will notice hes not that bad just dont have hopes of him making this a perfect world

    I'm not American, but yeah he is going to disappoint some people, those that do not understand the terrible state of the economy or the amount of work that needs to be done. Also those who voted him in with the expectation of life being easier via handouts.

    However, so far so good, even he said that what needs to be done will take time.

    I agree if you elect somebody to be the savior of the nation as a mere mortal man they are bound to let you down sooner than later.

    I'm pretty happy with what he's done so far. I mean, people have really made him out to lead us to the promised land etc. etc. which is unrealistic, so yeah, it can only lead to disappointment in that sense, but otherwise I think he's accomplished a number of great things (even if they don't always make headlines, like the new talks to implement tougher EPA standards in America, based on California's)

    It's normal. The only thing we can do is wait another few months and observe the progress.
    Enjoy life while you can.

    I think anyone with realistic expectations won't be disappointed by him. But again, Americans aren't really known for that.

    Also, I voted for him because he was the best man for the job, his race had as much to do with it as his hair cut for me.
