Obama overrated?

Is it me or is he overrated?

You're kidding, aren't you???

Bit too early to judge. I mean, even Maggie Thatcher didn't really find her feet until halfway through her first administration.

It was from that point that she became 'Britannia - Saviour Of The British/Monster Cow Destroyer Of The Working Man'

(Delete where appropriate).

she was already Maggie Thatcher Milk Snatcher before that, sp1814. I loved it that her degree involved aerating soft ice cream so you got more air and less ice cream for your money.

Well, seeing as even before the inauguration he was being compared to Lincoln and FDR, who can complain about this early rush to judgement. They were regarded as great Presidents because of what they achieved while in office so it should probably take a full four year term before a realistic assessment can be made. I was, however, a bit taken aback by thr racist undertones displayed by Obama and the Rev. Lowery that day. Also, is anybody else worried about his call for "a civilian national security force just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the U.S. military?

I agree it's too early to tell. I have a good feeling about him though and hope he will be good for the USA as well as the world.

Just glad that Bush has now gone.

glasman - don't they already have that, the NRA? lol

[maxximus]

bush may be gone jafi, but the forces that put him in office aren't. obama has to worry about their powerful tentacles undermining his plans if he steps too hard and too quickly on their toes.

Agree with Naomi and DaisyMae. Feeling very upbeat about Barrack Obama + feel he will be most excellent for the world as well as for the USA- a dynamic positive force for all kinds of good. Be patient for goodness sake- his presidency has only just begun ;-). Praying for him, too :-) big time. Warmest wishes, Bea :-)
