I guess he was aware that 53% of voters chose him!
Time to quit crying and move on.
And the point of this found "post" is what?
Yeah, and pretty soon 53% of Americans will be unemployed too.
Joe hates Obama, we get it.
No kidding. Give it up Joe!
I dont think its about hate.
Seems like the last couple of days hes been using Chaneys words as a means of guidance.
I think that its unfair on some of the "unwarenesses". Some of that stuff that he is "unware of" is not his fault. When you have people working for you its hard to keep an eye on everyone and everything. Can we at least give him credit for GIVING A DAMN about some of the things that are going on UNLIKE Former President Bush? He has a lot of faults but at least he can comment on it and try fix it. What did BUSH do besides get us into a war that has lasted for more than 7 years?
"Extremely dislikes." Is that better for you 12:00?
If you want a superlative example of an unaware president, you need to be talking about Bush.... more ignorant than the average American.
Better for everyone.
Obama is just the ignorant mouth piece of the Socialist movement. Once they tip their hand he and this failed Congress will be voted out.
I wonder if the answer to most of these examples of the President's "unawareness" is that he was aware but chose to ignore them, which is even worse than being unaware. Also, with the appointments that went awry, what happened to the vetting process? This process is, I understand, very detailed and very intense.
What has he done so far to the country to improve it? NOTHING! When and if he does ill give him the credit he deserves, but at this point he deserves nothing.
2C you know where I stand but you got to admit though it is a lot of "oops my bad......"
Actually it's up to peopl to improve this country.
In other words what have you done?
Let's just talk oranges to oranges here for a monment.
When you go out and buy a corporation, you hire good attorneys to make sure you have a full understanding of exactly where the company stands. That being said, when Obama chose to run for Office and take over the "corporation" he knew what he was getting into, period.
Point your fingers all you want at George Bush, (and many of you know I didn't like him either) the bottom line is, it's now Obama's problem to resolve.
It amazes me to watch so many Americans making excuses for someone else. Oh, the poor guy. Bush flat out purposely screwed all Americans because that's what President's do. COME ON!
Obama has F-ed up this Country financially so bad we'll NEVER recover. I don't care what you say, it won't happen in my lifetime and it probably won't happen in yours. Companies start failing and the wet pants liberals all want to save their jobs. Screw them, it's the luck of the draw.
Obama chose to spend trillions of dollars saving failing companies and it was a mistake. I will NEVER buy an American made car any longer as I will not only be pissed off our President forced us to foot the bill for these extremely high paid executives flying around in their own jets, I'll never trust the fact that the warantee I paid for in my purchase will be worth a damn. I'll never know if my local Dealer will be in business next month!
Yeah, Obama is really doing a bang up job on consumer confidence while all these Dealers close their doors.
Stupid is as stupid does. I told you a thousand times, they'll take from you until you're dry. Then they'll take even more until they absolutely know you have nothing left. When this Country hits rock bottom and our government is confident there's nothing left, then and only then will they admit we're in a depression and start to rebuild when everyone appreciates they have a loaf od bread and a gallon of milk in the frig. Your sisters and brothers will be living with you in one house and little by little they'll move out and we'll be so proud of them.
Open your damn eyes and look at the reality in front of you every day. Drive around and LOOK for the FOR SALE/FOR LEASE signs everywhere. I have a friend with multiple properies for sale and he cannot unload them, just to help pay other mortgages.
Come on wet pants liberals, come back and reply to this comment. Tell everyone how untrue it is. Tell everyone things really look bright in our future. Tell everyone what the next major business is going to be in our near future to bring this economy out of so much trouble? Show us the next MICROSOFT of the World.
Until then, face it, you voted in a guy who's clueless and you have a Congress who flat out doesn't give a sh!t because more than likely many are lining their pockets with all the cash left over, knowing the crash is just around the corner and you can say, well, it just didn't work, sorry.
BITE ME!
He was un-aware that bringing all those Palistinian people here and giving them wellfare and healthcare on the backs of hard working Americans was pissing those Americans off.
Water Pipes are busting all over this country people. Theres a flood coming.
Joe
What do you have against Ford? They didn't take any of the bail out money, they said they would make cuts within.
Joe,
Sorry if you believe that one person messed up the country after being in office for almost four months then you have a problem.
The one main problem that affect this country as of late is it's MTV mentality. You expect all problems to have been solved of Jan 21, 2009 and that is just not realistic.
It didn't take us a day to get into this mess and it is foolish to think it will take the same day to get us out.
Do I think you not buying an American made car is true. Yep you got me there. Do I know the next "Microsoft" type company. Yep I sure do (you don't have the money to pay for that advice).
Of course businesses are going under. Of course there are for sales signs going up like crazy. That's still going to happen.
What I hope is that more people would take an economics 101 class then they would understand the problem and how to solve it. Instead of having knee jerk reactions (and no solutions).
There is my wet pants liberal reaction.
He is probably also unaware he was not born in the U.S either.
Obama was handed the worlds biggest and smelliest turd. Give the guy some time to polish it. I find it amazing that people blame him for Bush's failures. Dont misunderestimate him...
Careful Joe, your supreme ignorance is showing. Anyone with half a brain and a shred of common sense knows that he stepped into a sh*t storm. This country was on the brink of disaster and he has stopped the meltdown. Like it or not what's going on and what needs to be done takes a little more brain power than yours Joe. Listen to any of the economic experts talk about the process of recovery, they'll say exactly what Obama told us all. The reovery will not be overnight, it will require sacrifice and it will get worse befor it gets better. It is so simplistic to think that in just over 100 days any President could turn this around completely. You know all of this to be true Joe. You're just winding up the wingnuts on this blog like you always do.
Joe , you know as well as anybody,
the only reason Obama was elected
is because of his race. They didn't care if he was qualified or not. This is obvious , but , I must admit , he is a good speaker,
as long as he can read the tele-prompter.
Sorry Joe, but you sound like a wet pants conservative to me.
Your boy, Bush, started this mess, and, it takes an Obama to clean it up.
You just don't want to face facts. That's your choice. But, we'll be out of this with more than enough time to go and give him another 53% of the vote in 2012.
Then you can bitch about him fixing everything for ANOTHER four years.
You know why you hear it though R1, Obama made a point to admit his mistakes while Bush made a point to never admit he did anything wrong. You are finally hearing him say a few things were bad decisions now that he has left office but that's it.
Joe, the whole basis of your argument assumes that the American people have already simply rolled over and are playing dead from here on out.
They never have and I doubt they ever will.
You are forgeting to figure in American ingenuity, resiliancy, and our un-dying spirit. You can't ever count us out. No matter how bad it gets, Americans will never give up. That's what makes us Americans.
There's no one who had more of a negative effect on world affairs than George W. Bush. A fool rushed in where angels feared to tread.
Hey Two Sentz, you must have not listened to Obama's commencement speech at the U of Arizonia. Anybody with a brain listening to that diatribe about a once great country surely would not feel there is much hope in Obama's new socialist america especially for the student who believes in individual achievement is truly an honorable goal. Obama trully wants everyone to rise to the same low level so they will truly be dependent on his type of goverment run society.
You know 2C You got a point in your last paragragh. It is what makes us Americans...
Bush crushed us and left the mess for others to clean up. He's the Alfred E. Nueman of Presidents.
the demwit dems are 'always' unaware if things go south, look at pelosi right now on the enhanced interrogations.
the requirements to hold a dem office is you must be a felon, a liar, Tax cheat and a hypocrite etc. etc. etc..
I don't care if you are Republican or Democrat!! We THE PEOPLE better wise up and stand up and take this country back, before The United States of America, land of the FREE, is no longer. The "Tea Parties" are just the beginning. We cannot spend our way out of this mess!!! The people who represent us in Washington are not interested in the good of the country. WISE UP!!
Capitalist societies are not based on anything tangible and are doomed to faliure. Making money from money it a false sense of profit and doomed to fail, as it did and now we see the result. The "American Way of Life" cannot continue as is. People need to put stock in something real instead of the almighty dollar before any real change can occur. How cares about the next Microsoft or whatever? How much money has Bill Gates given you? None.
So I guess he is supposed to go snooping through everyone's personal tax records?
There's a word for blaming someone for what someone else has done wrong...just can think of it.
Real change has never been to the REal Cuba, that's the change you're talking about. Obama is leading us to the left and the media is happy to follow. The economy will not be fixed by more spending when reckless spending got us here. You can complain all you want about George Bush, but he didn't bring us $4 gas, a Demoncratic Congress did. You can say George Bush was the worst, but you weren't saying this in the years when the economy wasn't tanking or right after 9/11/2001 when the stock market and airlines suffered huge losses-no you weren't. Conservatives helped oust the spending Republicans in Congress in 2006 whether you choose to believe it or not. They didn't show up at the polls like they did in 2004, and you can blame Bush's last 4 years on John Kerry's and The DNC not putting anybody up worth voting for-since you all want to blame Bush and not Frank, Dodd, Pelosi-those in Congress who held the purse strings or blocked oversight into Fannie & Freddie. George Bush was the President during that time, and he should of pulled out the VETO Pen more ofter but he isn't the only one who was driving this bus off the cliff. I don't blame Obama, he's trying to do what he thinks is right, too bad he doesn't have a clue on how to do it because all his Marxist teachers couldn't/don't know how to act in a Republic. I blame Congress then and now.
Amen 2:13
The curreent state of the union has not just happened. It has been a steady degrading of the American idea for over a century. Both Rosivelts, Wilson, Isenhour, Kennedy, Truman, Johnson, and so many other lesser players in power have been Progressives. Even your most reveered Lincoln was a Liberal in todays parlance. We have been voting away our rights for decades folks. You Obama lovers are just plain Stupid. The haters are ignorant. Look at the past, learn the history of the current failure. We, and those that came before us are ALL to blame for the current collapse of the greatest Idea for a nation to ever have been born by the mind of mortal man.
Anthony of Salisbury
REVOLUTION; Run'em out of the country. The blind leading the blind. Our nation was doing just fine until the dems took the congress in 06, from there it took a turn for the worst. hussein 'inherited' nothing, he begged for it, and spent millions to get it along with voter fraud sponsored by the liberal democrat party.
Most of you are idiots if you still want to blame Bush for everything. The reason for this financial meltdown has more to do with Obama and his friends before he was President. It was the socialists (i.e. Clinton, Dodd, Reid, Pelosi) that put their fingers in the housing market, and I can admit, Republicans followed. It was not Bush's de-regulation, there was oversight for sure. The people in Washington choose not to do anything in 2004 when John McCain said something about it. With that said, Bush is guilty as well; he basically was a fiscal liberal and a neo-conservative when it came to the war on terrorism. In addition, this is not the result of the last four Obama months either. This has been brewing for many years now. So you liberal wet pants, get your head out of your ASS and read a book for once. Stop blaming Bush! Yes he is an idiot! I agree with that, but what has Obama done differently in his four months other then take the money that all the Dems persecuted Bush for spending and blow that number out of the water. Ask Japan what happened in the 1990’s when they tried this exact tactic. Pumping money into the system has never worked. I know why Joe is soo mad, the people that have created the mess are the ones leading the fight to fix it with the same tactics they used before. I can tell you one thing Obama is doing differently, handling the Israeli -Palestinian conflict differently. If you think that is the answer to world peace, then you really are an idiot. Oh yeah, then there is health care. That is definitely something different because this country has never taken this approach before. If you idolize the European way, why don’t you move there. What most people do not seem to understand is that once the government controls our health, everything will follow. They will link everything we do to our health and the risks our actions create. This is the way you back door fascism. Can anyone with factual information disagree?
Keep in mind this has nothing to do with the results of what Obama has done thus far, it is the policy he is implementing now. Me and Joe both know what the outcome will be and there is evidence that defends this position.
Let me see if I got this straight. It was more important for Obama to be "aware" of the tea parties, then dealing with the threats in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran.
Jesus Christ, will you people grow up already?
And Joe, the friggin consumer confidence index went up during the tea party period.
You've got a great blog, but your anti-Obama stuff is just plain limp. If you're gonna rag on him, get some reasonable analysis, instead of the same old right wing nutjob emails circulating the Internet.
Joe you are a rascist, plain and simple. How dare you criticize the first black president. We need to help him and I am going to make sure that everything he does will be wondeful and perceived as perfection incarnate.

UM.hello?they already ARE doing exactly this by jacking up the price of cigarettes with extra taxes.My income taxes and yours if you work are already subsidizing the free health care,food and housing for "the people".sounds like communism to me.
Nobody has argued even one point in Joe's blog that started all this. He printed a list of facts. Just because Joe wrote the article doesn’t mean you can simply dismiss if it is true. Joe's feelings about Obama are incidental. Obama has made choices to pay back the unions and his other supporters and has taken advantage of our current dilemma to pass his Omni-bus bill that was loaded with support for every cause ever imagined by liberal man. Sadly, those expenditures only stimulated future votes for him and did little or nothing to help those of us who are working, running businesses and paying the taxes that fund these new, unnecessary, programs. Leave Bush out of it - he is history and history will judge him. As for Obama, yes he was dealt a tough hand BUT he fought hard to be where he is and he better not whine about it now - just like W. he will have to take his lumps for his mistakes, gaffs, poor choices and other bad decisions. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that Joe’s list may just be the tip of the iceberg but Lord knows I hope I’m wrong. Time will tell.
2:13 "look at pelosi right now on the enhanced interrogations"
Got any photos of this?
2:52 "J Trader said..."
...more like J Traitor.
3:43 "Obama is leading us to the left and the media is happy to follow."
Looks to me like he's lurching to the right with military tribunals and withheld torture photos...
4:14 "You Obama lovers are just plain Stupid. The haters are ignorant."
Such wonderful irony!
4:30 "The reason for this financial meltdown has more to do with Obama and his friends before he was President."
I wasn't aware that community organizers had such wide influence.
so we're supposed to allow this same government (the one's who F'ed up our social security)to manage our health care.
at least Bush had a war to pay for.
now we've spent all this money and paid for NOTHING.
so far, NO good.
Okay first of all Obama is only 6% black. But yes he played the race card and got voted in as President by a lot of dead voters thanks to his buddies at Acorn. Secondly it was never proven that he was born in the USA. You have to be the most stupid people in the world to not see his Socialistic agenda. Then he isn't trying to fix anything because he want you to be dependent on the government for everything. But what really amazes me is no matter what he does the liberal people still love him an follow like sheep to the slaughter. It really sounds to me like he is the anti-christ spoken of in the bible. Promising world peace at any expense and the people are blinded as to his real agenda. Damn just read the "Left Behind' series of books. It follows Revelations to a tee. And it sure as hell looks like where we are headed with Obama. Out of nowhere comes an inexperienced politician and becomes the New World leader. Man this is real scarey. But Obama can take everything you have and screw you with a smile on his face and you all still love and defend him.
Un-fricking-real. Wake up AMERICANS or are you decieved by the great Obama (anti-christ).
Love the photo. Thanks, Joe.
8:45 "Man this is real scarey."
Boooo!!
Yea. Great. Come back when the Republicans put up someone worthy to lead us. We'll wait. Zzzzzzz
"Damn just read the "Left Behind' series of books."
Yea. I'd swear too if I wasted such time.
awwwwwwwwwwww!! the poor libtards get their feelin's hurt because someone protested your messiah?
buncha code pinkos
I've read this whole thread, and here's what I've seen.
1.) People still claiming Obama isn't natural born
2.) People that still don't understand this economic mess and are happy to keep repeating the Limbaugh lie that this is because of Dodd, Frank, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac
3.) People that simultaneously claim Obama is a Socialist AND a Fascist.
So, other than the regular list of INSANE RAMBLINGS, do you guys have anything that resembles a valid point?
President Idiot is a liar, cheat and not even an American! He's well aware of what he's doing...he doesn't think he has to answer to anybody since "53%" of this country is just like him. Remember birds of a feather flock together but in this case it's idiots. He and Michelle are the wickedest and most vile of humans. Surely they must have been spewed out of a snakes belly.
Well 2:26, at least he knows how to read. Do you?
Gosh, all those tax cheats. Obama and his gang must be against paying taxes.
And I thought he was for CHANGE.
I love it! Too Dense and chucky come here and fire salvos but if anyone dares to criticize the Dear Leader on their blog that person is labelled a racist Rethuglican.
They openly cheer for a one party state.
Why am I not surprised. The definition of liberal = hypocrite.
And the roots of a loot of our current economic problems go back to Bill Clinton. Anyone with a computer can do the research.
Anon 8:21am
You naturally haven't responded to anything. Blame, blame and blame to hide the fact that you don't have a clue.
please the 53% of the american population that voted for him.....voted for him based on his race and color.....it may sound racist....but seriously THINK about it....look around how is everyone around you acting now that he is in office?
People are acting exactly the same as he did when he wasn't in office. If you are trying to make a point, please do so.
I'm white. I voted for Barack Obama. Did I vote for him because he's black?
"it may sound racist"
Yes, that does sound racist. If that wasn't your intention, please clarify why you made the statement.
