i think "hate" or "love" are wrong "personal" feeling towards our leader.
If those are the feelings you are experiencing maybe it's time to pull away from that tube/newspaper take a step back and evaluate what's important in your life.
This is why i can't watch TV with talking heads yelling nonsense at each other.. i mean i can see how this becomes personal to some people.
agreeing or disagreeing with specific policies is by far more appropriate.
That's just my opinion of course, you can though all the rotten tomatoes at me you like :).
On the same note i would LOVE to have dinner with either Bush or Obama or even Palin..

Just to remind you, Mike:
Mr. Obama is not our Leader, he is just merely the President of the USA.
The word leader is reserved for the people who lead some kind of a cause. Like a Communist Party Leader... There are also Leader dogs ...
... and the President of the good old USA is employed by the US Citizens, in which case - he is a public servant.
You may call him a Servant, which would be more appropriate, but not true, since he is not doing anything for his Electorate.
As you can see, even Ira is not happy with him.
Cheers...(D) (D) (D)

lol, Gera, wtf is the deal with semantics
the world leader? :)
sounds like starwars or something..
but if you insist on another totally meaningful argument:
the President is the country leader, same way as the CEO is a company leader.

The one thing he is doing for sure is:
He is advancing his Socialist agenda and leading us away from the free market and so called American way.
Remember, the way that propelled this country to the economic power and the actual leadership in the World!

speaking of our "leader" and the direction he's taking this country to..and this is how people feel about it..and it's not just conservative..(ch)
The majority of voters (65%) continue to believe the nation is heading down the wrong track. The latest finding is up slightly from last week and has remained fairly consistent for months. In the weeks just prior to Barack Obama's election, more than 80% of voters felt that way.

I have nothing personal against the guy, don't like his policies a lot, would not even want to have dinner with him - lefties don't interest me...(ch)

Gera, as my personal leader? :) hm... i am not sure what that means, but he's clearly our country leader.
Of course i accept him as such, although i dislike a lot of his views and policies.

This was sent by a good friend that just happens to be
black and he's also a Republican. lol He told me this is a joke, not intended to be racist.
1.Da Night afo' Crizmus
Wus da night afo' Crizzmus, and all thru da hood,
Everybody be sleepin' and da sleepin' be good.
We hunged up our stockins, an hoped like all heck,
Dat Obama, he gunna brang us our checks.
All of da family, was layin' on da flo',
My sister wif her gurlfriend, my brudder wif some ho.
Ashtrays was all full, empty beer cans and all
when I heared such a fuss, I taught...."Sh'eet, must be da law".
I pulled the sheet off da window and what I'ze could see,
I was spectin' the sherrif, wif a warrent fo' me.
But what did I see, made me say, "Lawd, look'a dat!"
Der was a huge watermelon, pulled by eight big-ole rats.
to be con-ed

2.Now ovah da years, Santy Claws he be white,
But it looks like us brotha's, got a black un' tonight.
Faster than a poe'lice car, my homeboy he came,
And whupped up on dem rats, as he called dem by name.
On Biden, On Jessie, On Pelosi, and Hillary Who,
On Fannie, On Freddie, On Ayers, and Slick Willy too.
Obama landed dat melon, right der in da street,
I knowed it fo' sho', - can you believe dat Sheet?
Dat Santy didn't need no chimley, he picked da lock on my do',
An I sez to myself, "Son o'beach... he don did dis befo!"
He had a big bag, full of presents - at first I suspeck?
Wif "Air Jordans" and fake gold, to wear roun' my neck.

to be con-ed

3.But he left me no presents, just started stealin my schit.
He got ma guns and ma crack, and ma new burglers kit.
Den, wif my schit in his bag, out da windo' he flew,
I sho' woulda shanked him, but he snagged my blade too!
He jumped back on dat melon afta stealin' me po,
and waz gone in two seconds,... dat Democrat ho!
So nex year I be hopin', a white Santy we git,
'cause a black Santy Claws, just ain't worf a schit!
THE END.

Check this out. Your Leader's First Christmas Tree!
Fresh from the news line.

- The ornament shows Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong on the White House Christmas tree.
- A transvestite ornament is shown hanging from the White House Christmas tree.
- An ornament showing President Obama on Mount Rushmore hangs from the White House Christmas tree.
As I said - commies are already here!!!

agreeing or disagreeing with specific policies is by far more appropriate.
I disagree with all his policies. He can not have any policies I could agree with because he is a closet marksist. Maybe not even closet anymore, because they have Mao ornament on the "Holiday Tree", ( Do they still call it Christmas tree? )
and his WH media communication person was an open Maoist, as well as his green jobs guy was an open Kommunist.
And I don't even like how he reads the teleprompter -apparently the only talent he has that so many still admire(ch)
Can't even listen to him for a minute without the gag reflex.
Этож надо, сколько людей было одурманено...
Я вижу всё меньше и меньше бамперстикеров "хоп энд ченьж". Даже в наших краях. Народу уже стыдно такое на машину лепить.

I like the relatively new bumper sticker with his logo, and it asks "Sorry yet?" (ch)

I have to get it. It will be very inflammatory to all the parents at my kids school.:-D

Whateverhappens with this healthcare reform, you got to give credit to Obama, he is the first out of many presidents who succeeded in passing this bill. Mark my words, by the end of hissecondterm the country will be unrecognizable...

Вот это многих и беспокоит.

Whateverhappens with this healthcare reform, you got to give credit to Obama,
Obamka did not pass any bill yet. So far he just pushed lies to different media ass lickers. He is so good at it for all the morons who adore him. David Axelrod and Rahm Emmanuel commanded Pelosi and Reid to jam the bills down our throats.

Harry Reid Turns Insurance Into a Public Utility
This article explains how the private insurers will eventually go out of business - the ultimate goal of all Democrats in Washington. And the only option left will be public. Even though it's not mentioned verbatim in the current bill.
The good news it's unconstitutional, so there is a chance that the potential lawsuits will stop it.

This is hilarious:-D
Have a Merry Government-Regulated Christmas
December 25, 2009 - by Frank J. Fleming
The following is the transcript of the speech President Barack Obama gave for this holiday season.
My fellow Americans, as you spend time with your family this holiday season, I have an important proposal for you all to consider. Many of you like to celebrate Christmas. Children love to wake up Christmas morning and go see all the presents waiting under the tree. But what about the children who don’t get any presents? What happens with them? The United States Marines have their Toys for Tots program, but that just attacks the symptom. We need a real solution, and that means tackling what is at the heart of the problem: Santa Claus.

For too long, present-giving has been held hostage by the whims ofthis single man who is accountable to no one. Bearded, obese, andprobably mentally unstable, Santa is someone we obviously don’t wantnear our children. He’s even somehow associated with known malcontentJesus Christ (I’m not quite sure who he is, but I remember JeremiahWright mentioning him once or twice so I assume he has something to dowith the creation of the AIDS virus).
Every year, Santa engages in some sort of domestic spying program,watching our children like a pedophile in wait, and he determines whichchildren are “naughty” or “nice.” His methods for determining this areunknown; we also can’t know whether there is a racial disparity inthese lists. He then makes his presents for the select few usingnon-union elf labor and comes to our neighborhoods in an unregisteredsleigh pulled by disease-bearing caribou.

Enjoy!(H)
Merry Christmas!!!

count the lies Obama has promised to do a healthcare reform...
now they are doing everything behind closed doors..hmm...transparent government my...

There is a definite need for the new Government agency, which will create jobs!!!

Office of Transparency!!!
They will require US citizens to pay for transparensies for Gov. use!!!

so, no one is saying anything about Obama's handling the failed terror plot while being on vacation..up until now, the guy has been refusing to call it terror..under his watch we had some serious terror plots since 9/11..and this is the guy who promised change..but I guess he is more pre-occupied with fixing something that's not really broken, than working on our security..
and, of course, the guy is doing finger pointing and not taking responsibility for anything - blaming the previous administration and the intelligence agency...of which he is in charge, almost..

FIRST TIME IN U.S. HISTORY THAT A SITTING PRESIDENT’S ELIGIBILITY QUESTIONED BY MEMBER OF CONGRESS (dated 1/5/10)
The Post & Email can publicly confirm that on the first ofDecember, last, U.S. Congressman Nathan Deal (GA-R) challenged theeligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of the U.S.presidency.
***********.thepostemail.com/2010/01/05/deal-challenges-obamas-eligibility/

Lina, bless your heart, do you not even play at objectivity? If someone you know was diagnosed with cancer, god forbid, but didn't die or anything, would you think it wasn't a serious illness?

As per the president's handling of the situation it is laughable and upsetting. For the first 3 days the administration insisted that there was no "system failure" in this incident and today the president came out blaming the intelligence agencies. That would be sort of OK if he wasn't the Commander in Chief of those agencies and their failure wasn't ultimately his failure.

now they are doing everything behind closed doors..hmm...transparent government my...
The most ethical congress evah!
It's straight from George Orwell books...:-S

what do you, guys, think about the Iran situation? The regime is really weakened, crushing the protesters, while we stay idly and do nothing...so typical of the left - appeasement is the policy and ideology, don't want to confront the greatest threats..dealing with Iran would solve a lot of problems..

There is no Political will in Washington today!
They (whoever - Obama, Pelosi, Hilary...) - cannot make a simple statement of support! What a shame!(N)

About Iran: the enemies of the current iranian president will also continue the nuclear project. So, there is no big difference for the USA.

my iranian friend, who hates ahmadinadzhad, told me about that. May be she is wrong - who knows...

Yes, There is!
Once they will start the political process - they may evolve into friendly political stading to US.
I was listening to various TV and Radio shows as well talking to Iranians working with me... they all beg to give them opportunity to make political changes.
We have people living in US, who escaped from Iran in 1970 and are very loyal to US. They want to go home and help their country to be a free developed society...(v)

Persians in US are mostly pretty cool people, however in Iran opposition and main government are not much different, and the worst thing we can do is get involved.
I mean based on the past performance of involvement in other countries...

who escaped from Iran in 1970
Probably, you meant 1980, since the islamic revolution happened in January 1979, and by the end of 1979 the secular president Banizadr had to escape to France.

there is a lot of things (theoretically) we (and Europeans) can do to support the opposition besides getting directly involved (putting boots on the ground), but you have to be willing and have courage to confront, not appease..

We do not have to get involved. We need to tell them - we support them.
The majority of the population is under the age of 30! They are the once who attend Universities... and do not want to live in the Islamic Republic. They have computers and cell phones and do want freedom of speech! This alone can lead to a lot of good things.
Of course - your liberal and freedom seeking leadership can only appease the terrorists and totalitarian leader like Ahmadinejad...

who escaped from Iran in 1970
Probably, you meant 1980.
Correct - fat fingers...;-) (v)

Where has Obama's inspiring oratory gone?By Michael Gerson
Along with President Obama's declining public standing has come adeclining rhetorical reputation. There is, of course, a relationshipbetween the two. Even Ronald Reagan seemed a less-than-greatcommunicator after the 1981-82 recession, with his job approval ratingin the 30s. And few would be criticizing Obama's speeches ifunemployment were at 6 percent. Success is the best eloquence.
') ;// -->But Obama's rhetorical challenge runs deeper than the recession. Inthe most unexpected development of his presidency, what was onceuniversally recognized as Obama's greatest political strength -- hisoratory -- now seems a serious weakness.
The swift rise of Barack Obama was primarily a literary phenomenon.His accomplishments did not come on the Senate floor; they came atBarnes & Noble. His two autobiographies, along with his 2004 speech
