President Obama: A Big Mistake?
51A Mistake?
I am in search to answer this question: Was electing Obama president a mistake? He says he will "change", but will that "change" be for the good?
America, why did you elect a man that refuses to put the pin of our great country's flag on his chest?
America, why did you elect a man who was a member in a non-patriotic church for 20 years? And his pastor said NOTHING good of America?
America, why did you elect a man whose own wife says, "For the first time, I am proud of this country"???
America, why did you elect a man who didn't even put his own hand over his heart during the national anthem?
America, why did you elect a man who has NO EXPERIENCE whatsoever?
America, why did you elect a man who supports the killing of innocent babies, INNOCENT?
America, why did you elect a man who wants to pull our troops out of Iraq, when that will only bring another terrorism threat to America?
Is this man really safe being our next president? Is this man really going to change America for good? Or for bad?
You be the judge...

Actually you don't have to put your hand over your heart for the national athem. You put your hand over your heart for the pledge of alligence. Some people put their hands over their hearts for the national athem, some don't.
This is the bottom line John. Bush carried out a false flag attack upon the United States on 9/11. He also went into Iraq to steal oil. So, which is more patriotic, a president who want to restore the rule of law or a wild eyed maverick who murdered people out of greed and lust for power? It is an easy choice for me.
However, Obama is not without serious faults. One is that he is allowing the banks to run over the sovereignty of the United States. Instead he should temporarily nationalize them, make their bondholders share the pain, and return the banks into the private sector. He is allowing the multinational banks to raid the treasury of the United States. That is a dangerous policy and it is wrong. I hold Geithner and Summers responsible, because I think the power to control international bankers was lost 60 years ago.
For the love of God, you suck! Go listen to Hannah Montana! You're full of shit, cuz Obama is a SAINT sent to us from GOD!!!! You should be GRATEFUL, not bashing him you dumbass!!!
Hi John
Pres.Obama was wearing a pin last time I saw him address all those reporters( last 100 days thing) because I remembered thinking oh look I bought one of those when I first came to visit the States.
I hope you wont be offended if I comment since I am not American but I like the guy , I like his wife ,Michelle she seems a smart inteligent woman too surely a positive role model for many young aspiring women the world over. Im glad that the majority of Americans voted Obama in and Bush out. Many countries are encouraged and their trust in America is slowly being restored with a man willing to lead positive initiatives again. Global stablisation can only be a good thing.
I do not think any man is a saint not even a United States President but he has my respect this far for at least pulling up his sleeves and doing the best he can with what he was left with.
I enjoyed you hub and its great to learn the diversity of thoughts.
I am inspired by some comments by Thomas Jefferson ,so I want to read about him too.
Obama is going to take the guns away from Texans, so they don't try to secede, but I wish he would just let them go be part of Mexico.
Ohhhh dont you get me started on gun control lol
ok thankyou I will
I learned today about the 2nd Ammendment and that it was created to protect the people from the Government...that is the right to bear arms..so why the hell do many people think its their right to carry a gun today?
Ok thanks Im done
toad....I heard they might call it Texaco!
Ha! watch out Johnb is going to come and wipe out our comments, he doesn't believe in free speech!
OMG GT, what is that Avatar you are using???
No say it isnt so GT this is America!!
"Do not be sad, i'm going to legalize weed. I will bring change, it's scripted on my teleprompter."
I find it odd that our president is afraid to speak without a script. We see what happens when he doesn't use a teleprompter. He makes a "special" comment like the one on Leno.
Yes, its my avatar.
Marinealways24, I don't know how anyone can say anything on Obama's speaking skills after GWB detroyed the english language over an 8 year span
Why is that odd? I mean very few public speakers deliver speeches without them?
It is so refreshing to hear a leader use complete sentences I will say that much!
Hey, it is early days yet. Give the guy a chance before judging him. I reckon he deserves at least 2 to 3 years before anyone could honestly say electing him was a mistake or a wise decision, after all, change takes time!
This hub is so off base on so many points I don't think I can even address them. So I'll just jump into the comments section, as it's been one friggin BITCH of a week for the old MM here and she is spoiling for a fight.
It's always amazing to me how "selective" some people are in which freedoms they believe in vs. which ones they flat out refuse to allow to others.
The only reason I would not be in favor of Texas seceeding back into Mexico is we would lose KCC Big Country and some other way cool hubbers.
John do you even pay taxes yet?
The main reason Obama was elected Is because the alternative was John Mccain . While I have Immense respect for Sen. Mccain he was not a viable alternative . And Dubya and the Veep DICK made that decision all the easier . I do have some reservations about some of his appointments since none of them seem to have the ability to pay their taxes Including our Sec of the Treasury .
And Janet Napalitano Is nothing less than blatantly Incompetent ! She wants to enforce the border at Canada but all the action Is happening where I live . This woman can count her IQ on one hand . If Ron Paul had been the candidate I would have voted for him hands down !
I disagree with the Ron Paul selection Tony, he's from Texas too.
"Marinealways24, I don't know how anyone can say anything on Obama's speaking skills after GWB detroyed the english language over an 8 year span"
LOL, Yeah we saw his "speaking skills" on Leno when he said he bowls like he's in the "special olympics". Brilliant, Bravo. Don't feel bad, I think Bush was an idiot as well.
Pshaw! What a crock. Those flag pins are probably made in China, so I accuse everyone who wears one of supporting communism!
Maybe with some maturity you will understand John that Obama and Michelle were an ordinary couple long before he won the Presidency and yea its cool she was proud of her hubby.
Seriously thats quite a harsh judgement to say hes not being respectful fo rnot wearing the flag ( pin) c'mon hes flanked constantly by flags , he must dream in red/white and blue now too.
Hugging the Queen, media chidish hype . the same media who critised Lady Michelles fashion choice. Dont buy into that media crap.
Did you hear the Queen complain? , no you didnt , by the way we have the late Princess Di to thank for dispeling that stuffy British attitude.
But Toad ya gotta admit the rest of the Dem clan Is pretty spotty these days ,can you say Nancy Pelosi ? And Misty I agree with you to early to grade him.
Tony I thought you more of Nader guy!
johnb- Okay mark this day in your diary, that we actually agreed on something!
Pleased you agree Tony, every President deserves enough time to prove themselves :)
You better not start tryin' to hold my hand John
Toad maybe Colbert because he makes me laugh !
Sorry not sure which channel ( I surf) but ithe things I mentioned were on more than one channel anyway ( could have even been youtube)...
I strongly agree with Misty , its early days
John quit bein' shy about it.
@ Tony- Colbert would be almost as good as Stewart!
Well let's just all write a hub about what we believe or not, dislike or like becasue I have my own version, trust me.
I thought that was the purpose of this comment thingy to um comment.
Ok I do like Obama ,and I believe hes the man to turn this damn ship around!
and ,and , and I got a pin (grins)
Hey...ever notice when Obama runs...he looks like he's exiting a Vaudville stage! :)
OK guys and gals,
Even though the ballot box is secret and sealed, I'll admit, I did not vote for Obama because I did not think he had the experience to be in the position to be the President of the United States.
That being said, I HOPE he will be a good President. Can't we all agree on that?
His latest commencement speech to the Arizona State University was good no matter if you were Republican, Democrat or Independent by nature and choice. They did not elect to give him an honorary degree because they thought that he did not have a large enough "body of work."
Agreed..........that is why I did not vote for him.
But let's give him a chance.
Remember, the Congress passes all the laws of the land........not the President.
No, I didn't wimp out. I just went to eat dinner. Now fortified with some bloody red steak I'm ready to tumble.
But it seems the whole complexion of the commentary has changed. For goodness sake, now John and GT are gonna hold hands. What's next? Singing kumbaya while wearing our American flag pins?
John keeps trying to hold my hand, but I don't play that
I know that, GT. But I do get a bit concerned when you become agreeable -- to anyone, on anything:-)!
No worries on that! I'm going to go drink beer now, I finished a bunch of stupid paperwork for work(well almost), but my liver needs replenishment!
I love the man and if Michelle wasn't so close, I'd put my shoes under his bed.
I think he is the damn anti-christ, that is exactly what I think.
umm, i shouldnt have said that, I got the mad cow
When Obama does bring about changes ( and youd have to agree, some pretty big changes are needed) will you be the first one to give him credit John or will you say it well America is better but its because--------. I hope you will be fair and just and support your leader, it has never been a one man job.
My heart also goes out to those hundreds if not thousands of soldiers who never returned home, well Im sure many families through-out the land are grateful now their sons are coming home alive?
I rarely am tempted to leave a comment that is negative, but this hub has driven me to it. The damage done by the Bush administration will take decades to rectify, and only an idiot would believe that Obama is not a necessary part of this process.
Q.E.D.
I guess to embrace change you first have to see there was a problem John?
Do you see there was a problem?
"America, why did you elect a man who supports the killing of innocent babies, INNOCENT?"
That gem has gone completely unnoticed, so I'll carry the flag on this one... :
You are so right John! My gosh, I'm glad you spoke up on this tragic reality. BUT, you are underplaying the seriousness here. Obama does not JUST support the killing of innocent babies, he actually DOES it.
That's right, I heard from a credible source that Obama kills two babies every morning before breakfast. He likes to play with them first, like a cat, you know, throw them against the wall, watch them crawl piteously away, broken, in agony and terror for a while, but then, eventually, when he's done, yeah, he kills 'em. Them he steps on a kitten before he heads for the Oval Office. Frankly, Obama's evil is incredible and I for one cannot believe anyone could have voted for him.
Thanks for this awesome, well-thought out hub, so grounded in research, fact and even-tempered reason. You rule!
Obama is VERY scary. Most people have no idea what he has been doing. Read present and past articles of Caroline Glick..Jerusalem Post if you REALLY want to see what is going on. Folks this planet is NOT improving. There is a source with all sorts of information about what's happening but many are not open to it. To those who understand....here, there or in the air!
Obviously shadesbreath knows nothing about partial birth abortion...I would strongly suggest you google partial birth abortion and READ it and look at the diagrams. Most people take a position without knowing what theye are even talking about. PBA makes Hitler look civil.
nevermind..........Lord, I will make it thru this day without people getting on my nerves to the point I change alter egos.
Teresa McGurk....I understand your angst at Bush...I suggest you look up on youtubecanada news report on Bush and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Youtube USA forbid it and had it removed BECAUSE they do not want you to know the TRUTH. I am sooo amazed at how little reason people possess now days and how strong a desire they have to have their ears tickled, at any price. Our priorities are way off.
No, I'm with you Informedandnotbgullible. Obama LOVES PBA. It's his primary political focus. He only acts like he's working on the budget, healthcare, the economy and Iraq, but his real focus is on promoting and massively increasing the practice of PBA. I believe I saw him quoted somewhere as saying, "Can we please stop talking about all this other stuff and get to some better tactics for killing babies and expanding PBA." Yeah, no, I'm right there with you, dude. Totally.
Actually his main focus is to side with Muslims ...his second address on Arab TV will be in early June. He also has made it possible for Hamas members to come to the US and be taken care of by us...housing ,food etc. Yes he has passed that legislation. None so blind as though who will not see.
Also Obama has made it legislated that the US people now pay for abortions all over the WORLD. We now have the blood of children on our hands not only from our country and barbaric choice but from all over the world...we are promoting it"globally". I hate this word "globally" it is such a disguise for so much pain,injustice and pathology to take place in the future
siding with the Muslims....um so now all Muslims are terroists? ( plse tell me your college education was not a complete waste of money)
its attitudes and ignorance that got the USA into trouble in the first place! silly ignorant statements like that!
My daddy taught me that if youre not part of the solution than you must be the problem!!
I have heard you attack your President and his creditionals yet you offer no solutions? ( and you have the nerve to critise Obama for not showing respect because he didnt wear a flagpin on his jacket therefore Im going to agree with the wisdom of and old man....( who fought to save your butt I might add) !!!!!

oops pc glitch didnt mean to post twice, damn russians again..lol
I finally published, I whimped out a little, but i think I got my point accross. dori/fortunerep/FEMALE
Wow I can see this country is so divided more than ever. That's really unfortunate and ignorant in many ways too by some of the comments made hear. Everyone has a right to an opinion but bet the bias and hate begin.
shadesbreath...glad we are on the same page.....please check out CarolineGlick.com...you will see what is happening behind our backs....most people do not want the truth...they want to hold on to their myths
Really, I've known that my entire life and everyone can comment here also here without being singled out. It never seems to fail when I make a comment concerning particular subjects such as this I get a negative reaction; But others who also made contrary comments such as mine get none. Let's be open minded and fair to everyone even when you don't agree with certain people.
To:Eaglekiwi
I can see you think the government is always right.The fact is the people are the Government
If the Government has nothing to fear,why do they fear their own people's right to bear arms? Please! Thomas Jefferson wouldn't be against the right to bear arms,because he had no reason to fear the people.Not that the people bearing arms is going to save them considering what the military has.However,it's the responsability of all of those in the military,to uphold the peoples rights,that is more important than what those in charge think.Always comes down to the people,doesn't it.
To John
You may have written this hub before the info came out in the news,but The way I hear it the Queen put her arm around MRS.Obama's shoulder first,which is allowed.I Don't know why you think so much of the Queen of England though in any case.
You must be kidding! George W. Bush was doing his best to hide from the press when 911 happened.He claimed to have seen the first plane hit the first tower on a television screen,when that was impossible.The only known footage of that plane hitting that tower was not even
available to the press until the next day and yet he claimed to have seen it the day before
Last but not least The Queen.,Bush,chenny and Obama as well as many actors like Christifer Reeves, and many historical figures are all distant cousins.Makes you think dosen't it.
Wow, Ya'll! To each his own. Somebody has got to be right? (I thinks it be me - and mostly John too..?) Glad we can all speak it out and disagree, and maybe finally agree on a little bit too...
were you out cow tipping?
I was makin' love to them in the middle of the night, they were going Mmooooooooooo!
someonewhoknows, um well you dont me very well .I was quoting what the 2nd ammendment meant ,I neither agree nor disagree with it just wanted to clarify that part ( as someone had done for me)...and I do not think any Government always does the right thing , but I do think once they are elected they should be supported...or whats the point in voting at all?
Great hub- to the point
Since everyone's opinion is out there- yes, I think Obama is a mistake- and not based on anything racial of course (there's the disclaimer). Nothing in the hub mentioned it was mistake to elect a half black, half white man so nothing racial should even be discussed. When people turn things racial, the real topics and politics are being ignored. Many were/are afraid to discuss negatives about Obama because of racial implications. That's too bad. I gave up discussing Obama for this very reason.
My biggest complaint about Obooba was touched on in this hub- he lacks a patriotic backbone. He probably didn't even like this country before he was president. THat's egotistical thinking- his wife is already guilty of that. He's so full of himself it's icky.
Enough said before I really get myself in trouble.
izetl- watch out johnb is going to fall in love with you, but he's from Texas, you know about guys from Texas. They always think they're big.
Gosh with attitudes like that hes got an even harder job than I first thought....
I hope Obama isnt too late to save America from its Nationalistic tendancies. Much of the International arena was relieved when Obama got in ,for they knew at least WW3 was delayed and if that alone doesnt give honor to your flag I surely dont know what would?
Furthermore I think the Republicans are throwing tantrums now is because they dont get the cookie jar all to themselves any more! ! George Bush helped the rich get richer and screw the rest. ( as you now see in unemployment, foreclosures, rise in crime)
Did that make you feel more Patrioctic?
America you did a good thing voting Obama in as President!
The media dont close company doors and factories ,employers do. ( no more freebies) funny that.
The media didnt let little rich boys on wall street take risks with the wages of hard working peoples money. A Republican did.
The media didnt tell the world Iraq had weapons of mass destruction George Bush did.
You are the one who has been brainwashed period. It is so petty to say Pres Obama is not patriotic for the original reasons listed. Petty! as if wearing or not wearing a flag will make him a great leader or not?...you are serious ,which is perhaps the greatest concern of all. Does that also mean all the Americans who dont have a big ole American flag flapping around their front door step are being unpatriotic too? No it doesnt.
By the way your hub says you have been researching and wonder etc etc ,but your mind was made up from the beginning.
I dont hear from you what the solution is just critisism for Pres.O.
I am in search to answer this question: Was electing Obama president a mistake?
no you didnt say the word research ,you said search.
For now Obama and senate are the solution.
ok now your sounding just silly. So you werent re-searching ,you were just searching......ohhh plllleeease!
Kiwi - I first must address your 2nd Amendment opinion - it is that your opinion of our constitution. You're quoting and then interpreting the heart of the amendment. This gives us, as American citizens the right to bear arms - the scope of the amendment is broad, and a political deal breaker.
I am a veteran of the United States Air Force, and the United States Army, as well as a retired police officer. So I can tell you from different aspects of this argument - that it is not cut and dry as you are seemingly trying to interpret the wording.
As for your support of the POTUS and his wife. You are wrong when you state that they were just ordinary citizens prior to his presidency. That is an opinion not based on fact - but based on what you would like to believe. It is much deeper that that - I won't go into specifics, but I suggest that you read "Fleeced" by Dick Morris, as well as "The Case Against Barack Obama" by David Freddoso. I do believe you will see the true meaning of this couple and the people that they stepped on in order to get where they are - including those who helped the both of them.
I am not going to continue any argument with you due to your history of posts on this topic - in case you are wondering, I am highly educated and have earned to different degrees in Community and Human Services and I am currently completing my J.D. So have no doubt about what I write or where my opinions are formed - they are formed by well thought ideas brought on by insightful documentation. I also suggest you read Richard Clarks 2004 assertion of Islamic Radical infiltration within the borders of the United States - you may withdraw some of your opinions if you happen to do so.
I am not here to argue with you either MidEastVet , and while I respect your creditials we will have to agree to disagree on whether Obama is the right American for the job or not.
John its people like you that use violent language who cant handle someone having a different opinion than the one you have. (Undemocratic)
and Nationalistic yuk!
If I thought it would help I could google authors ,newspapers articles ,speeches and depending who I supported would quickly find an opposing debate ,even Hubpage members who were ashamed to call themselves Americans because of the previous leadership ,but Ive lost respect for you ,for it seems after all of your SEARCHING you act like a little kid bragging about his daddys big shiny new truck ,thats sad man.
Stay in college, and even when you graduate ,keep learning for Gods sake so you dont have to end up on any front line like the Veterans did.
You're right johnb0127. I believe you are. SO far Obama's actions are setting up government to have complete control. I'll say it again, Obama is so full of himself and it's apparent in all his actions. Whoever and whatever boosts his ego the most will be who and what he assists or targets. He's so good that he's convinced most of America that he will need another term in office. I'm just keepin it real cause my big business got some money and I'm still paygin a really high health insurance bill.
Google 'group think', the next time one of you people think Obama must be great because he got majority votes. The vote proved that smart people are the minority in this country.
Politics aside, my education and training are in psychology and I'm basing my opinions on Obama as a person, his actions, mannerisms, and quotes. Just remember Hitler had a lot of charisma too.
Unfortunately he may be here awhile and I can't hold back all my comments.
Like I said, we're a minority. I took my Obama hub down- too hard to keep up with the comments. Hang in there johnb0127
That might not get you as many fans- lol
listen everyone OBAMA is the not the answer for america, quit being so damn stupid i mean seriously im tired of people trying to justify some of the stupid decisions that he had already made. the abortion law that he didnt single handedly pass but did vote for 3times it took that long to pass just goes to show that he should be in prison. i mean what happens if i just went out and killed someone right now? id be in prison right. no matter how you try to justify it it's still the same thing dont tell me its not. youtube it and youll see what im talkin about, and dont try and say thats all made up and i shouldnt believe what youtube says when obama himself actually gave an interview once again trying to justify his actions. i agree with john and anyone who doesnt well shame on you.im not sure who wrote in a comment that obama is a saint sent from god just shows how stupid they are. read your bible dummie it clearly states that this will happen and its no saint its the antichrist. o i dont know what im talking bout cuz it says that he will be muslim and obama not muslim. wrong again because it never says that he will be muslim it says he will come from MUSLIM DECENT, which last time i checked obama did. thats if you believe that, the bottom line is obama has nothing to offer the u.s except trouble which is exactly what were getting. but hey im stupid what do i know go ahead and vote him in for a second term that will just mean that everything is going according to plan.

I personally don't support a lot of the decisions Obama has made, but I would caution against all this panic.
First of all, just because he won't wear a pin of our flag doesn't mean he doesn't love this country. I'm a Christian, but I don't wear a cross on my chest. Does that mean I don't love Jesus?
And the whole hand over the heart thing...I remember reading somewhere that got blown out of proportion. It was actually "America the Beautiful" that was being sung. Last I checked, our national anthem was "The Star Spangled Banner."
And Obama isn't completely inexperienced as you have suggested. Yes, he's not as experienced as McCain or Joe Biden, but that doesn't mean he hadn't been involved in politics at all before election season.
The other day, I heard someone talking about the day Obama was elected. He said some people were crazily elated, while others were depressed and horrified. He said that both groups were at fault--one had too much faith in man, and the other didn't have enough faith in God. Think about that.
