Colleen-When didn't any USA president think they were in charge of the world? Always sending money and people to save other country's starving children even when we have our own starving children right here.

I voted for Obama because he was qualified, well spoken and black. I found a lot of things I liked about him and I saw the sideline problems he had to dodge. Hillary Clinton as Sec. of State was a great choice. A mob of republican representatives pledged their vote away rather than compromising and this tactic has set a lot of people against the republican road block. November 2012 is not so far away and the republican party has been fishing around for a rabbit to run but so far nothing that sounds presidential.

He is doing a good job of spending money we don't have. He is doing a good job of turning us into a socialist country. He is doing a good job of apologizing for our country's transgressions. He is doing a good job of bowing to the leaders of the rest of the world and degrading the position he holds.
He was elected because he is well spoken, promised change and yes, he is black (which I have no problem with, but certainly don't think it should be a qualification to be president).

I think he is doing the best that anyone could. Congress needs to be voted out and started over.
If they can't get along and help, any president would have a hard time getting things done.
Congress has forgotten who gave them their jobs. They need to stop blocking any action that might reduce their net worth and start worrying about the people.

I think that he's doing as well as can be expected with the economy the way it is. But, I do think that his lack of experience has hindered his effectiveness. I was actually hoping that a republican would win the last election because with the mess they left I didn't think anyone would be able to effect the necessary solutions and as a result I wouldn't have to hear them for the next thrity years.

As far as taxes, I agree with you. If they elimanated subsidies and deductions they could reduce taxes accross the board, including coorperate taxes. Also, while a lot of business leave because of taxes,most of the job loss is due to improved technology. The best solution here is emphasis on education for the youth of our country and teaching old dogs new tricks so they can continue to be productive in the modern age.
In fact, when cutting spending to reduce our debt; it isn't something that is done rapidly or too soon. That's also why most economist favor doing it over an extended period of time and instituting tax change as well. One of the problems with the EU is that they are trying to incorporate economic programs that are too austere and it's going to cause problems for us as well as them.
