post all reasons why this guy is awesome.

rules:

1. No anti-Obama arguments or rebuttals (save it for #/f/loud-noises/282784-official-bash-obama-thread.html)

2. No whining and or excessive unfounded rhetoric

3. Hyperlinks and quotes to articles encouraged

this thread is to help keep all the subjective :bs: out of other threads and to strengthen personal political positions

I love this guy. He's black!

Okay, I agree with his healthcare reform. Shit likely won't pass because he doesn't have the Senate in his pocket. Ghey. Seriously, universal healthcare will benefit the living fuck out of people's lives. It will not kill the private sectory

health care for everyone that would be sooooo awesome. Just because you have a job does not mean you have health care.

It's way easier to bash him than to say something good it seems.

I would actually agree, but not.

Its a lot easier to bash on something new than to try it out and experience it yourself.

Word of mouth, from a "friend" is taken as a fact. And thats how everyone is treating Government.

Healthcare reform is needed. Education is needed.

These aren't short insta-win programs.

They are meant for long term profit. It is meant for the US to get the fuck back on its feet.

I completely agree. We need to do something about healthcare... But we're going about it all wrong. Kudo's to Obama for at least trying.

Even though he's doin it wrong.

Its a nice step, but to be honest, he doesn't have the senate in his pocket like Bush did.

HUGE hinderance.

Fuck the senate.

Healthcare is a whole can of worms that we can talk about for YEARS. IMO, there will never be a "right" way to handle this, because you really can't cater to EVERYONE no matter how hard you try. Also trying to mimic another countries program might not be ideal as well....look at how cash for clunkers was handled. :keke:

Anyways, to post something positive:

Obama wins Nobel peace prize 2009 - Oct. 9, 2009 (http://money.cnn.com/2009/10/09/news/economy/obama_nobel_peace_prize/index.htm?section=money_topstories)

I still LOL'd at the "efforts for ridding the world of nuclear weapons".

I loved that he didn't allow the banks to fail! Thank goodness or we'd be screwed.
