OZ   (08.25.09)
many in the states who voted for him are realizing now that it was a mistake! his administration stands a great chance of backrupting an already shaky economy with its mega spending, big intrusive govt., social programs that "distribute the wealth",--america is about to change for the worst!
11. What charm is wearing off?
Jake   (08.25.09)

Martin ,   Seattle USA   (08.25.09)
We are in the worse crisis since the Great Depression thanks to the "former" administration. His rhetoric and the same for his spin meisters has been the same for what is starting to become his 1st Years. When will he if stop acting like a immature child and like a President?

mike ,   NYC USA   (08.25.09)
what a ridiculous piece. Judging Obama based on this vacuous exercise is meaningless. And not one fact or even semi-fact was cited to support the "thesis".

hot air, and sisnce he like to take credite for other people jobs and he is hurting the week sectors(like elders and ill people) the medical reform is one mega catastrophy. I will love to invite Donald to say YOU R FIRED, ti hy.
21. A sad day for YNET
Hillary ,   Connecticut   (08.26.09)
It's a sad day for YNET when you have nothing better to publish than this bit of opinionated rubbish that is not based on any hard facts other than the lack of a hand shake on the part of a man who is working day and night to pull this world out of recession. Perhaps Bill Clinton could have given a warmer hand shake, but that is hardly what a president should be judged by. This, along with the piece on Sweden and the smoked salmon published yesterday indicate the sorry state of the newspaper.

hell out of our ,   house" Pj,USA   (08.26.09)

26. I just watched"Obama Deception" on youtube.
Connie ,   Virginia   (08.26.09)
and I can't believe what I saw and heard. I am shocked that this could have happened in America. a man, not even born here could rise to power and be president, but after watching this I now know. word of warning; this piece is almost two hours long, so go the bathroom. eat your meals, etc. beforehand. After watching tell others about it, especially american citizens you know.
27. obamamania
solemnman ,   israel   (08.26.09)
Obama sashayed onto his platform -uttered the word change and his bessoted fans swooned and cheared and wet themselves with joy.- and the worrying things about him were ignored because he had style and style trumps substance everytime..
28. #21Working hard to PULL us out of recession???Ha,ha,ha. How
bout working hard to ,   PUT us in recession?   (08.26.09)
29. #21 Hey,don't knock that piece abut the problems of Swedens
salmon.We all need 2 ,   laugh.Get over it !!   (08.26.09)
30. Pleeeeesssse!
Doug ,   US   (08.26.09)
Our newest president is a pathetic wanna-be and should be removed before he can do any more harm to the U.S. and Israel. He talks out both sides of his mouth, and cares little for those who make great strides for humanity or even give their lives for our country! Those who voted for him should be ashamed and exiled!
