Over the past few weeks and really, since 2008, I have opened my mind to reading the numerous articles about President Barack Obama. I have read a few positive ones (mainly only on liberal newspaper websites and television network websites), but the majority that I have seen (lately) are negative.
With re-election right around the corner, predictions are about 50/50 as to whether or not the American people think President Obama will serve another four years as our country's leader. The Republicans still lack a strong candidate. Flaws and judgements made upon each one of them, (largely by their own voters), whether that be voting for or against a significant bill in the past or a "questionable" religious preference, still makes them considerably weak candidates against him.
However, with the debt ceiling being raised under a plan devised by a Republican, the blame is largely on the president. HE compromised where the other party did not, and fingers are once again being pointed in every direction. But at least five of them are directed at him. Look at these headlines:
Just to name a few... Take a minute to read some articles. I won't provide any links. Just look them up for yourself. The comments underneath most articles reveal that most Americans (at least who get their news online) are against the president. But are people underestimating the power of a "silent voter?" One term or two term, no one deserves to be hated and disrespected as much as President Obama has and if getting away from that means proving himself within another four years or letting the chips fall in another's hands, I will be fine with either.
