Why are so many people terrified of President Obama?

[firstandten]

A good counter question is what makes people like you so radically support him as a president. I can't possibly be what he has done, because he has done next to nothing so far besides spend a LOT of money. .

First 100 days
Passing the "largest" economic stimulus bill in American history.
Ordering the closing of Guantanamo Bay military detention facility and abolishing "enhanced interrogation techniques."
Setting a fixed timetable for withdrawing U.S. combat forces from Iraq.
Ordering 21,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and enlisting, with modest new assistance, European allies in a new multi-layered strategy there and in Pakistan.
"Returning science to its rightful place" by lifting the Bush restrictions on federally funded embryonic stem cell research.
Signing laws to expand children's health insurance [[financed by a 61-cent per pack cigarette tax)
Signing a law meant to improve the ability of women who allege pay discrimination to sue their employer.
Diminishing the role of lobbyists in the White House
"Forge a meaningful statement from the United Nations" criticizing North Korea's launch of a ballistic missile.
Lifting travel and remittance restrictions for Cuban Americans who seek to travel more frequently to the island and send more US currency to their immediate family.
Engaging world leaders in Europe, Turkey, Latin American and the Caribbean with "strength and humility."

In the mainsteam media he was compared to FDR as to accomplishments for the first 100 days in office

He will sign a health care reform bill this year, that in itself will secure his legacy!

He claimed we would never see 8% unemployment as a nation and now we are looking at 10% .

You're right about that one too optimistic, I guess Bush left us in worst shape than we first thought

He socialized our biggest auto manufacturer and let another one be sold to a foreign company.

Wow, is that how you see it. What would you have done? Do you actually know what a socialized auto maker is ? Has the gov't told GM to make all cars white get 50 mpg and produce 500 cars/day.

Because of Rick Wagoner and his boards head in the sand approach is the reason the gov't has an investment in GM.
Obama let Chrysler be sold ! How about Chrysler had a subpar business plan and would have gone out of business ,again what is your answer

You know the free trade so many of you complain about on here? Has he made any type of move to make changes to it? I didn't think so. He would rather change corporate tax laws so US based international businesses have to pay taxes on money made overseas even if it never comes back to US soil. [[many corporations have said they will leave if this happens including companies like Microsoft).

The damage by your right wing heroes was already done. you don't shut the barn door after the horses are already gone. Were in a recession, you want to start up a trade war too ?

Has he ended the illegal wars so many here talk about? No he is considering sending even more troops to Afghanistan.

He never campaigned on ending the war in Afghanistan, he always said he would increase the troops in Afghanistan, "we the people" were ok with that

How about saying he is willing to have diplomatic relations with a nation like Iran regardless of what they have done before? There is no good political relation you can have with that type of Regime and he knows it. The will smile to his face and continue doing what ever they want.

I know maybe it was his super quick reaction to the Somali pirates holding that captain hostage. How many days did they let them sit out there again?

These things listed alone give the naysayers a lot more ground to stand on then the supporters, especially the ones who seem to run rampant on this form with very little knowledge except that they made "history" by voting for him.

With 4 posts I don't think you can take anykind of high ground on this issue since you and your ilk refuse to provide anything other than distorted knowledge or false knowledge or no knowledge at all other than the daily e-mails you get with right-wing talking points straight from Rush, Beck and the other entertainers.
