I think the thread title is not accurate (yet)–he’s got a way to go to catch Jimmy Carter.  But he does appear to be well on the way!

You're one of those people led around by the nose by the media, aren't you?  Soak in all the "information" out there and think you're "in the know" ?  Go out, get some fresh air, and relax. 

Yup. Believe everything they feed me. Hope and change. Here ya go....

...Unfortunately, there is not much solace in international affairs either, where, again, expectations were so pumped up. America's image is better, no doubt, but uncertainty and procrastination prevail. One major international political leader recently put it well: "Not only does the leadership of this region not think that Obama is strong enough to confront his enemies; they aren't sure he is strong enough to support his friends." The administration seems "hopelessly naive," according to one Arab foreign minister, and unable to face the full truth about Islamic terrorism. The public frustration over the administration's mismanagement of the latest jihadist attempt to blow up a plane with all its innocent travelers (on Christmas Day) was captured in the New York Daily News headline "Mr. President, it's time to get a grip!"...

blah, blah, blah…Bush is bad, Bush is evil, Bush is the devil reincarnet…The Dems can only play that song for so long.

it's time for taking names and kicking a$$...AMERICA RISING

Why is this in “What’s Up at Firms?” Worst president ever is ridiculous.  Shania obviously has a hard on for Obama.  No matter what the guy does, it’s not going to be right in your eyes. 

I’m not a big fan of his either but I try to look at facts and not ideology.  This bank tax thing is stupid, plain and simple.  Increasing troops in Afghanistan is a good thing.  When he did that, he pissed off the libs but the right keep saying he’s soft? He made the call to the Navy Seal team to kill the Somali pirates as well. 

He inherited a mess, plain and simple.  I think he thought things would just magically come together for him and he didn’t realize how hard the job was actually going to be.  But after one year to say the worst president ever is ridiculous.

U…S. to appeal dismissal of Blackwater charges: Biden

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The government will appeal a court decision to dismiss charges against Blackwater security guards accused of killing 14 Iraqi civilians in 2007, Vice President Joe Biden said on Saturday.



The U.S. federal court found last month that the defendants’ constitutional rights had been violated, angering many Iraqis. Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s government has hired U.S. lawyers to prepare a law suit against Blackwater, a security contractor now called Xe Services.



With Iraqi President Jalal Talabani at his side at a Baghdad news conference, Biden expressed “personal regret” for the violence in a Baghdad traffic circle when Blackwater guards were accused of opening fire on innocent civilians.



The guards said they shot in self-defense in the incident, which occurred during some of the worst sectarian violence in Iraq.



“The United States is determined, determined to hold accountable anyone who commits crimes against the Iraqi people,” Biden said.



“While we fully respect the independence and integrity of the U.S. judicial system, we were disappointed by the judge’s decision to dismiss the indictment, which was based on the way in which some evidence had been acquired,” Biden said.



The U.S. Justice Department would file the appeal next week, he said.



The incident came to symbolize for Iraqis what they saw as foreigners’ disregard for their lives after private guards protecting U.S. personnel were given immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.



It also threw a critical light on the U.S. use of private security contractors in Iraq.



U.N. human rights experts have called on Iraq and the United States to ensure that the case is prosecuted, saying it underscores the need for credible oversight of private security companies working for governments in war zones.
