As Obama was inside talking to Hollywood Celebs @ $39,400 a plate he addressed the protesters outside the Beverly Hills Hilton.

1. Crappy journalism

Surprise huh? But that was the most disjointed presentation one could imagine. A bunch of unrelated statements and claims, with some distortion thrown in (Armenien resistence). They juxtapose statements by Obama with shouts of the protestors, and the two aren't even related. Obama says they've been productive. They have, just not at doing what many wanted him to. The people outside weren't complaining that he was unproductive, they were complaining about the things he has done.

7. "...just not at doing what many wanted him to"--more importantly, NOT DOING WHAT HE PROMISED TO DO!!

2. That's the answer to a different question, Mr. President. nt

4. some of these people

need to get a clue. Obama never said anything about ending the war in Afghanistan. He actually always said thats where the war should have been and needs to be.

5. Someone should tell the lady talking about Afghanistan and Iraq that Obama is doing exactly

what he promised.

6. Call me gullible or call me naive....

...but I'm thinking this is a train he is riding...and you don't just make the sharp turns to change the world. You have to get some things done now, some things done later, some things done "partially", etc, etc.

I'm seeing this as so much better than what we had for eight f*cking years, and although he needs to continue making those changes to get this train headed in a new direction, it's going to take all of his first four years to make it happen.

As for Iraq, I have been hearing shit from sources aside of President Obama such as "we're planning to be their for 10 years", etc...and I'm waiting to see what HE does, not what they say. Afghanistan is a different story. I don't want to see President Obama get sucked into a Vietnam in Afghanistan. That's what broke the Soviet Union (NOT ronnie and his star wars bull shit nonsense). We can't afford to be the world's police force.

8. Agreed, Hulk. Guess I'm naive & gullible, too. n/t

It IS so much better than the last eight years.....almost
every presidency in American history was better than the
"Bush Years." The problem is, instead of helping the
poor and the lower middle class citizens, or even including
them in any "Bailout", or jobs program; they have
been shut-out. I campaigned for President Obama. Then, he
appoints a super wealthy elitist crook (Geithner) to give
Billions$(heading to trillion$) to wealthy wall streeters
whose illegal actions are mostly responsible for the financial
mess we are in. IMO he should have (and probably will still
have to after all of this money fails, because of their
inherent GREED) nationalized the crooked financial and
insurance companies and then dealt with their dirty tricks
while still operating as a viable institution, on the "up
and up."
He has continued many of the same illegal "tricks"
that Bush used to screw average Americans and to keep them ill
informed. ie..signing statements, withholding memos and photos
that belong to every US citizen. He used the "they'll
cause harm to our troops, B.S. to do it) let me tell
you...those memos and photos have long been used as
recruitment tools for terrorists. They just do not want
Americans to see how low our government has sunk. The refusal
to even investigate the crimes (and the promise of no
prosecutions, to the "hands on" perpetrators)of the
Bush administration was not "change we can believe
in." "We need to look forward", my ass. We need
to know our history, rectify it, then move on, or we are bound
to repeat it. President Obama, has done nothing, not even
fought for single payer health care, for anyone who is not
wealthy in this country. $250,000??? what "average"
American has that for an annual salary? I understand that he
was using that as a cut-off point for tax increases, but
honestly, I am truly inspired by F.D.R. and the "NEW
DEAL", unfortunately, while President Obama may have ben
as busy as FDR was, he has NOT in any way helped average
Americans, the way that FDR did.
