I'm not going to make a judgement until at least the end of his first year. Will the stimulus package work? Is he actually going to pull out of Iraq as he promised? Will he actually fix the healthcare program? |

yea didnt think about that..but i edited it and i did a research paper on the stimulus i dont think it will permanently fix America's economy, but temporarily for like 5 years or so then Americans will be in same spot as they are now. |

Indeed, but there are also other parts to it. For example, it prohibits importing of steel and other metals that we manufacture here in the US. Not to mention, people who work on those projects will be putting the money they earn back into the economy after. Edited by Eddie, Feb 26 2009, 01:30 AM.

Obama is going to be a good president as far as I can tell. He has good beliefs on what should happen. He is going to do well. |

Now let's first define the word good: There are multiple meanings of 'good', but I think Obama will be the "good" president, in which he totally focuses on solving America's problems...and not the whole world's. He should try to focus on the damage of the whole world as the crisis came from America but I'm fine with that. I think he's good. |

Well, who else heard about his Iraq speech? He plans on pulling 50-75% by 2010, all by 2011. |

Yeah, he wanted to leave behind 50,000 soldiers untill august 2011, the rest will be pulled back next year. It surprises me though. In he campaign speeches, he promised to end the 'Iraq era' as soon as possible. This doesn't seem very fast. It seems some of the republicans are even happy with that decision. |

that war is a very pointless war imo the troops shouldn't have been sent there in the first place but thats America, sticking its nose into everything that America's nose doesnt need to be. |

The whole plan about pulling out troops seems okay...but I'm not convinced. Surely, or is it just me, but when America pulls out of Iraq, that's when they are at their weakest? However, we reach a paradox: Either stay and die, or leave and be weaker and die. They've really got themselves stuck in something now. Anyway, most of those troops will probably be sent to Afghanistan-where no-one can win, history shows that. :/ |
