yea im not exactly for limiting how much a CEO and op officials can make and putting a "salary cap" on them... heres the reason

If a company is failing shouldn't they have the right to hire a proven successful businessman... they will cost and even if they pay a lot to get them, it could benefit the company more because it's being ran much better.

I see more companies failing of this little rule goes thru...

all in all.. I like Obama... not as much as Ron Paul... but he was my 2nd choice

He's still got 3 yrs and 8 months or so left... I think he will do a good job

he's a president. just like everyone else in history, depending upon what he ends up achieving while in the house people will either love him or hate him. if he doesnt shape up his game fairly soon the obama leg humpers wont be back after 4 years and then guess what? back to republican domination time, just like it should be.

i could really care less what happens in this country now and ever. the economy sucks because the whole world economy sucks. we are in a recession which you CANNOT FIX. all the people out of jobs...sucks, dont it? live with it. (im in this boat too)

I don't like what he's doing to the auto industry eaither.
I loved him while he was running, but now over 100 days in and I've disagreed with nearly everything he's been doing (especially closing down guantnamo and all the secret prisons), beginning to wish I'd voted McCain.

I don't think you can blame Obama for the problems GM has.

Example=

What the F*ck is this? An Eastern European import?
Who the F*ck approved that little turd? Who designed it? Is it an Ikea kit car?
GM has been on a downward spiral for years.
would the Republicans do if they were in the White House?.....The same old b*llsh*t the Bush administration was doing....Nothing!
Why do you think we are in the F*cked up mess we are in now? *8 years of Bush.
Good, bad or otherwise Obama did more in his first month than Bush did in 8 years.

He is a flip flopper, Ron Paul was the obvious choice and the best candidate for the presidency. The American public got to tied up in this change, and first black president bull****, he is an idiot there is nothing else to say. And you people don't realize he doesn't make all the decisions that's why he appoints people to make decisions for him.

Thank you...and it was Daddy and Cheney who ran the White House the past 8 years...only thing Bush ever did was dodge a shoe.

Meh, I think the "G" series had a good plan but never took off IMO.

To be honest, I don't like anyone that runs for president. All politicians promise one thing or another to get your vote and never follow through...I don't agree with you on one thing though...Obama isn't an idiot if you look the man is very intelligent and very well presented, and is a great speaker.

Now...here is where I tend to agree with ya...if he can just do more than TALK about bringing this country together and actually do something...then I'll stand beside him...otherwise I am just gonna lie low and sit on my unemployment until I can find a damned job in this great economy. I tell ya a couple years ago banking looked like a decent enough industry to get into...now I am really regretting it...

I don't like him. During the election he wouldn't be for something then 2 weeks later he was all for it. I do know some people who voted for him JUST because he was "black" well I hate to burst there bubble the man is NOT BLACK! His dad was arabic/black and his mom white. So IMO we do not have the FIRST black president we have the FIRST mixed president!!! But this is a touchy subject and im sure will get locked soon but thats just my two cents! I was going to vote for that old guy and the hot librarian...

And McCain didn't??? I followed this election closer than I've ever followed any election, and I followed the Bush vs Gore election really really close. I hated Bush and I hated Kerry so that election I didn't care about. John McCain was by far the WORST flip flopper in the entire election. That goes for every single person that ran, including Stephen Colbert, who to be honest I think would make a great President. Everything McCain stood for before he started his campaign, and there was a lot, he completely went the other way in the election and tried to be more "democratic."

Obama played the "change" card like no other. In his debates at times he didn't even debate, just said we need change. However, he did not flip flop that much. Truly, what really put the nail in the coffin was the halftime show where he talked about changing the BCS system to a playoff system in College Football. McCain said they needed to rid steroids in Baseball. Baseball is doing it's job in ridding them. It's actors, actresses, and WWE Wrestlers that need to have the testing done.

Nobody knows what Obama really is. If he's not from this country, who cares? Is he really Christian? He could be Muslim. I don't care! Just get the job done. He actually appointed a good cabinet, so if they do all the work for him I'd be happy with that. I still wish he could have got Warren Buffet on the tab though.

**** Republicans! What happened to the separation of Church and State? They preach God like no other! So people want to say that Blacks voted for Obama because he was Black. Many did, and he aimed for that. Great campaign move, but what about the Republicans who hardcore push for the Religious people? Mainly Catholics! Whats the difference if Christians, who make up roughly 14% of the voting population, equal to the 14% of Black Americans that voted, only voted for McCain because he was Baptist, or Episcopalian, or Catholic? Oh wait... no one knew what religion he was. He wouldn't tell anyone. The Catholics thought he was Catholic. The Episcopalians thought he was Episcopalian, and the Baptists thought he was Baptist. He played the same damn cards just not in a race fashion.

Republicans preach God and Murder entire countries for prehistoric bull****!

By the way, the Bush Administration didn't send this country into a recession. They only helped. The country did get out of a 3 trillion dollar debt over an 8 year span under the Clinton Administration, however Clinton happened to look great because of the dot com boom!. The recession is because the Clinton Administration wanted everyone to live the American Dream. Families making under $50,000 a year could get loans to buy $500,000 homes. The Bush Administration didn't do that, but they did help throw money away. The first year of Bush's term we were back in debt by 3 trillion, again!!! We were in debt since the Cold War, a legit debt to get into. We got out of debt, and went right back in it. The Iraq War is the first war in the history of the United States that we didn't make money off of. Why? Because we didn't expand technology. They claimed they did, but our troops are running around with ****ty M16's that jam all the time on them. They give them crappy Kevlar. They were not taken care of, and it shows. They claim they use M4's now, and some do, but most don't. Why is the American Oil Driller in Iraq making $10,000 a day and the troops guarding him making less than minimum wage? US Military also houses and gives food to the Oil Drillers. What is this money really being spent on?

Seriously, no President is going to be perfect. No Congress, no House, no Cabinet will be either. It's a little over 100 days in. This world has so many issues and it will take a lot of time to fix, if it ever gets fixed. Whether or not you agree or disagree with the way the Administration is handling GM, Chrysler, AIG, etc. we are still moving in the right direction. We may go down more, but we eventually will go up. There will be many new American jobs while this Administration is in office. I just hope people don't make their final decision on who they're electing next over the first 100 days of mayhem.

Will you please stop with this BS? He was born in Hawaii. The state released his birth certificate. If you want to not believe that fine. But where is your proof that he was NOT? A huge left wing conspiracy?

And what does "natural born" mean anyway? John McCain was not born in the United States - he was born in Panama. Does that make him "less" natural born? Or how about Barry Goldwater, had he won? He was born in Arizona, but it was still a territory at the time.

Obama was born in the US. He was sworn in. He's President. You're next chance for change is November 2012.
