http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/45052062.html What do you guys think about the administrations decision to withhold the release of photos? Obama, the congressional leadership and the AG don't seem interested in any investigations. Do you guys think there is any purpose to release...

Obama has changed his mind about military tribunals and a couple of other things. There are some predictions that he isn't going to be able to get rid of about 100 detainees without turning them over to countries that will torture them, and may have to keep Guantanamo open until he finds a...

I know this is a few days old but I didn't have a chance to post this before and really wanted to comment on it. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090421/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama Honestly, he's spitting in our faces with this one, 100M. The real kicker is, the next day he announces a $6 billion...

What do you think of Obama's Nuclear Speech in Prague? I was worried by it. I felt that possibly there was too much detail in it that should have been worked through in the United States as a national policy first. Right down to the hosting of a Nuclear Summit. Surely that is news that should be...

The Obama's took on Europe, and did a great job. Wow, they are good. The handshake with the policeman. The hugs the First Lady gave out. Getting the other countries to cough up more money than they planned, and making them actually seem to like it. Man, they are good.

After Barack Obama makes history as the first African-American Presidnt of the US and won the US elections last year, many people want to become like him. Something like an underdog winning a boxing match. But I can't understand why. :confused: There are politicians here who call themselves...

The market is seeing a good gain thus far today after news spread of the Obama administration's plan to spend $1 trillion on buying bad bank assets. The market is reacting well because obviously it will put a lot of the banks off the hook for the toxic asset problem, at least temporarily. The...

So here is the argument... And of course, most people who debate it end up agreeing to disagree. Many people just do not believe the 'Certificate of Live Birth' that was supposedly presented from Hawaii. At the same time, the other side will swear up and down that the cert. is 100% authentic...

One thing that really annoys me is that the new president seems to have this sort of safety net if anything bad happens because his supporters just shift the blame to Bush. I think Bush is getting a very raw deal. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Bush supporter and he is responsible for some of...

It seems like nearly every time President Obama speaks or a new bill is announced, the markets seem to plummet. There just doesn't seem to be any confidence in him. Do you think it's because hes a new president or because we have never seen an economic situation quite like ours?

Notice that with Obama's socialist talk and the horrible stimulus plan, the DOW has hit a new 6-year low. How low do you think it will go before it bounces back? Personally, I am not very optimistic on the outlook of the markets as Obama will probably just continue his socialist pandering, which...

President Obama has announced that he wants to cut the budget in half by 2013. The announcement comes in the light of people getting even more worried about the budget after the recent stimulus was passed. Personally, I think it would be great if he did it, but I really don't see it. The...

It looks after his victory on the stimulus plan, Obama has already announced a new $75 billion plan to assist homeowners who are having trouble with their loans. Honestly, this is just rediculous. These people should not have even thought about buying a house if there was a single shred of...

President Obama has cleared 17k more troops to head into Afghanistan. They are going to be there for years. His administration has been very adament in saying that this is not a "surge." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29242187/ If only we weren't in Iraq, would probably would have been...

Obamas stimulus package was finally approved by the House and Senate. It went through the House without a single Republican vote (and 7 Dems against). Only 3 GOP senators voted for it. It looks like all the bipartisan meetings on the hill were for show and tell, this bill went through...

So Obama now has two separate plans for fixing our economy. An $819 billion dollar stimulus package and Geithner is working on a new plan (new details to be released later, cost unknown as of yet). Where in the world is this money coming from? After the first stimulus and after learning...

During the campaign, Barack Obama pledged to work together with Republicans to get things done. Now while that is a good thing to avoid deadlock, does anybody think he might be getting too friendly with the GOP? He's already set the record for the most presidential visits to the hill in only...

The House is expected to vote on President Obama's $825 billion stimulus plan today. There has been a lot of debate over whether all of the money is being used the right way and even if it is all necessary. Republicans are saying that some of the spending is excessive and the tax cuts aren't...

President Obama's approval ratings are far higher than Bush and Clinton in their initial days in office. Currently they stand at 68% approve, 12% disapprove. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/24/poll-shows-high-early-approval-rating-for-obama/ That's pretty amazing, that all...

I would give him a B. In terms of getting his agenda across, he really did hit the floor running as promised. I fully approve of his executive orders to close Gitmo and ban torture. His first press briefing went as well as can be expected and the new daily press briefings he will be getting...
