POLL: Obama - your take now?

[Echonova]

You do realize that any of Obama's Stimulus plans wont really be seen or have an affect until probably late 2010 or early 2011. What you where referring to is the ones that Bush passed in 07/08. It generally takes a few years before the effect's of any stimulus plan is felt.

I'm sure you realize that is because most of the money isn't slated to be spent until right before the 2010 election... Also if they passed universal health care tomorrow it won't take effect until after the Presidential election is over... Conidecdence? I think not.

[MachNU]

Voted for Obama, still like him, even more than before.

Curious, but where things you voted on him for? IE what where promises/ideas from his campign that you believed in, and that he has done anything about?

Oh I agree. I have said it before. Everyone though Bush did a terrible job, because anything Clinton did fell over into Bush'es term's. Anything Clinton did came from Bush Sr. term...so on and so fourth. Hell thats why the Stimulus effects we saw for a brief time where due to Bush'es plans. Now where just fucked with Obama. Or at least the next preident in 2012 is FUCKED.

beat me to the punch. i can't imagine someone saying they voted for obama because of the things he said he would do, and they're satisfied with him because he fulfilled those things. total rubbish. healtcare is clearly on it's way to being fulfilled unfortunately, but he has not done even a hair of what he said he would otherwise.

Hell I think BanginJimmy put it the best way in the politics section...

"Anything a person running for office says on a campign trail is bullshit. 99% of what they say cant be done, there just saying it to get your vote. Its the smart people who can read through the lines and understand the system to know what this person is saying, that can actually happen and what cant."

Might have been in a few more or less words but the same thing.

I just have to wonder when some of you make comments like this do you realize that it hasn't even been a year that the man has been in office? Bush gets such a pass for 8 years but suddenly 10 months without stellar results and there should be voter's regret. I think the tragedy here is the fact that most of us are probably high school graduates but there is a lack of understanding in the span of control of the executive office. Any influence the President has wont be seen until half way into their presidency at the least. Simple legislation takes FOREVER to pass, especially anything that changes the direction in which the country is headed socially.

Explain to me how the health care reform is going to help the US. Please.

Get tired of answering the same question every couple of months.

Socialistic health care

Wasnt knocking what you said, I was agreeing.

I now, I was just posting saying I agree with what you said. But you cant say that so far Obama is not improving anything...or setting any plans up or courses of action that will do any good in the future, or into the next presidents term.

don't misconstrue my statements. I'm simply putting out there that there are those who voted for this man and say they continue to stick by him because he's done everything he said he was going to do, which is the furthest from the truth.

For those who support him, just the fact that he has made the public option viable and now likely is amazing in itself. Nobody in history has been able to do it. If you disagree with his policies of course you dont see that as an accomplishment but you asked of those who support him.

hitler did.

im not saying that health care doesn't deserve a change, but the change he's giving it is a BAD ONE. Shoving health care down our throats is not what we need. Offering gov health care at a discounted price from regular health care would be intelligent.

(forgive me if my statement is not up to date, i haven't had the chance to keep up with all the changes it's gone through in the past 8 seconds)
