uhh theres like 3 obama threads... But yea, if you read the news, or are watching his 100 days address. YOu would know that the economy itself seems to be rebounding from it's initial recession.

I would suggest you be more specific, there are things that Obama is doing right and other things he's doing wrong. (in my opinion)

Over all though I think he's doing a fine job, not the best and not the best. If I had to rate him I would give him an 8/10.

Murderer. He's increasing troop numbers in Afghanistan, closing Guantanamo but opening other prisons, and continuing air strikes in Pakistan.

Just like his predecessor, he should be prosecuted for war crimes.

Yes what he is doing is right. Everybody is saying that he isn't doing anything. He has been in office for 100 days! He has 4 years. But yea he will fix it up if he gets re-elected.

I don't think that qualifies as murder, considering that it is a war in self-defense. The closing of Guantanamo but opening of other prisons is NOT good, though, and the air strikes in Pakistan depend on where he's hitting. Also, he isn't breaking any war laws at this point, unlike Bush did with his idiotic 'reventive war.' He had done some good things, and some bad things, so he gets an 8.6/10.

No...its not. Fox news might want you to think that, but attacking a whole country isn't going to stop a few insurgents. We're caught in the crossfire of Sunnis and Shiites, not terrorists. Afghanistan you might be able to justify as self defense due to the Taliban's presence, but even that's a stretch.

buch of crap. I could care less about the 100 days of Obama. I'll be happy when they say four years of Obama now he's gone.

He is dealing with terrorists and the Taliban. Sure, citizens will die. But it is all for the greater good now, 100 people dieing in the process of eliminating evil is better than 1000 dieing because nothing was done. (Numbers random).

I hate Fox News. I only said that Afghanistan was, and Iraq is obviously a bad thing to invest large troop numbers.

Agreed on Fox news.

I agree on Iraq. It is pretty mjuch under control, we just need to keep some in (logical) so it does not fall apart.

However, Afghanistan needs many troops due to the Taliban slowly taking over.

I agree. I've thought all along that Bush needed to focus on Afghanistan instead of Iraq. Hopefully though Afghanistan won't be the new Iraq in 4 years.

Media is totally against everything republican/ conservative. Cant always trust things. Just like the media will report how many troops die. about 5000 or so? Well how many terrorists have we killed? Well i dont cause the medias not telling us. The media will probably report good things now that Obamas in and bush is out

Except we've killed about 20,000 Afghan civilians who had nothing to do with 9/11. How is that justified retaliation for 9/11 which killed 2,900?

Don't forget about Fox News, they're about the only news out there that is for the conservatives. I wish that the news would be unbiased, but it's better than in China where it's controlled by the government.
