    Default Obama is the best U.S. president ever!!!

    We need a little controversey and this will surely get it! So hold on to your hat!
    This is going to be a wild and crazy ride! LOL!!

    Obama is hands down the best president the U.S. has ever had. Only a fool or a toady for the rich would say otherwise.

    No other president has been able to pass Health Care that will help the poor and the majority of the people.

    1. In his first year Obama saves the country from going over a cliff.

    2. Reduces the tax Cuts Bush put in for the super rich.

    3. Gets our military in order, fights off pirates

    4. Increases the SP by 37%,

    5. Improves and revives the office of Civil Rights.

    6. Asserts workers rights and protects whistle blowers.

    7. Appoints a QUALIFIED liberal Latino Women from the Bronx to the Supreme Court

    8. Reverses off shore drilling rulings set up by the Bush regime to save our pristine wildlife ocean fronts and send a message to corporate facists oil magnates and political allies.

    9. Wins a Nobel Peace Prize and the hearts of millions of people around the world! Sour grapes for many of you! LOL!

    10. Resurrects America's tarnished image as a rogue state of Texas John Wayne cowboys intent on world dominance at any cost.

    11. Attempts to address world wide issues pertaining to Global Warming- reaches out to superpower China

    12. Provides a symbol of Hope to children and people of color not to mention muslims around the world- sends message that yes positive dreams can come true- and yes you can reach for the stars and have an impact for the better.

    I am standing on the outside looking in with regard to politics in the U.S.A. But my perception has been, and still is, that many politicians are politicians because they wish to be revered and (more importantly) to make a lot of money (and this is not just in the USA - see the scandals in the UK at present) .

    The greed of American 'conservatism' was to me highlighted within days of G.W. Bush coming to office when he reneged on the American Democrats (Clinton/Gore) promise to honor the >Kyoto Agreement on Global Warming< declaring it 'too costly' - perhaps what he meant was it would impinge on the profits of already rich beyond dreams of many Chief Execs of many companies and financial institutions in the U.S.A. A 'mind set' that was acceptable to his way of thinking and which ultimately has proved to be the cause of the recession we are in now.

    With the success of the Health Care Bill (despite the Republicans fighting it all the way) President Obama has given a chance to many Americans, who were not rich enough to continue to line the pockets of the already offensive level of profits of these companies, CEO's and their accomplices, to at least have their most basic health needs catered for.

    I remember when the scandal of the bonus's that were paid to CEO's and their teams - and not just from the U.S.A. I read that one CEO in an American bank had been paid a salary and a bonus (for one year) of $118 MILLION dollars, and I worked it out that I would need to be paid the value of 610 YEARS of my current (two) pensions to equal what he earned in a year. If Obama can curb this kind of greed he may indeed be the best President the USA has ever had!

    Obama is strong enough (and new enough to World Politics) to still believe in 'what is fair must be right' - and long may his attitude be triumphant.

    Villa, the main problem is that factual advancements like those you listed could have been enumerated for Bush too. I think the really important thing Obama did is to make other countries change their minds about USA, which was starting to be seen as the dumb bully in the classroom of the world.
    More than anything factual Obama's importance is in the image he projects on America.

    And I would also take into account that you don't often hear about good things done by governments, the blatantly bad choices are much more talked about. And with Bush you could hear about them more often. For how I see it, the less talk there is around a government, the better it is doing its job, helping and supporting the citizens without being invasive and without propaganda.
    The best government is one you forget.

    If we look at the UK for example, the reckless and irresponsible behaviour in the banking sector, greed, hefty bonuses for bankers, and rewarding managers for failure are, among other things, all things that have been allowed to happen under a labour government and not conservative one.

    What can we conclude from this?

    Good point - but that begs the question 'How many of those in the banking sector in the UK voted for a Labour government?' Precious few I bet. Like the USA, many of these people support the Conservative aspect of politics - it is in their interest to do so. Havong said that - that is no excuse for the long standing Labour regime in the UK not to have had the bxxxls to have dealt with the problem in their years in office. Trouble is that many of them were committing the very same sins but on a smaller scale!

    Can anyone see an Obama type politician in the UK? I cant see the present leaders of the three main parties having the courage that Obama did in in fighting the good fight - not for money but for the needy.
