I would like to know what future will I have when Pres. Obama is finished with our country? Will my children be able to call themselves free? Will they spend their lives paying for his decisions? When will his tirade end? I try to keep a positive perspective on things, but when I try to look into the future I see a country taken over, yes TAKEN OVER by a man who has so many communist beliefs that he takes away our freedom. I see America, the Banana Republic, the ordinary, enslaved,communistic country. I DO NOT want that to happen! I want my children to be allowed to live as long as is possible. I want the future children of America to always have food and a place to stay. I want them to be allowed to make as much money as possible and to do with it as they please. I don't want my children to grow old without ever experiencing a breath of free air. I do not want them to beg for food and to be enslaved to a government that no longer cares about "the people." I want them to live life in a free country. I want them to experience that thing every American soldier is fight- ing for and giving their lives for. I do not want them to go through life in America without knowing and experiencing the power of a certain waord. I want them to be able to stand and say, "I am PROUD to be an American! I AM FREE!" What if your children could not say that? How upset would you be? No, our freedom will not be taken away all at once, but it will be taken away quietly and piece by piece. I do not want the government to take away my freedom without a fight! We, as FREE American teenagers, need to take a stand and let Washington know that if they are not there "for the people" and to "represent the people" we will throw them out! We will not be enslaved! We ARE and forever WILL BE Free Americans! Now let's all stand up around the world and shout it as loud as we can! Praise God I'm free, and you won't take that away from me without a fight to the DEATH!!!

Okay, then, tell me what 'acting human' is to you. Explain how Obama and his supporters don't fit your description and how you are any more human than he is.

He didn't say that he planned to enslave us, but the things he tries to do will slowly take away our freedom and eventually enslave us. I don't hate Obama. I know he is human, though sometimes he does not act like it. I just wish he wasn't our President. I don't hate liberal either. I strongly oppose them and they upset me, but I don't hate them. Some of the people I know and love are liberals.

I know liberals are human beings but maybe they should try acting like them.

And Liberals aren't criminal masterminds plotting to enslave and torture the American people. Believe it or not, we're human beings too. To all comment posters, please try to remember that.

try thinking of it this way: we can never be 'free americans' if we keep hating each other. Is having explicit hate for Obama really going to make anything better? And out of curiousity, when did he ever say he planned to enslave us? Hate has never led to anything but violence and division. If you want to be free so badly, free yourself from your hate.

Its not the enemies we are trying to appeal to,. It's the people SUPPORTING them that we need to appeal to. Without support, terrorists are nothing.

Not so. Do you remember the underwear bomber on that plane over at Christmas? Right, his FATHER tried to turn him in. His father told the FBI that his son was being radicalized. He said he did that because he understood we would treat hi son fairly. that is what being one of the most powerful nations on earth is about. It is about being compassionate and being a model to the world. If we punished every terrorist we get, people would lose their sympathy for us. Do you get it? It makes us look good and the terrorists look bad.

Apparently the people don't want his heakthcare, but he keeps pushing it. He needs to listen to the people. Plus, hes not fighting the war very hard. You can't give a terrorist a citizen's rights and then court martial three Navy SEALs because they gave a terrorist a bloody lip. He needs to let our troops fught the war the right way, not the politically corect way. Being nice to captured enemy-combatants won't make our enemy hate us any less. They'll just laugh at us and use our kindness against us.

But, lets take a look at what he is doing. What is so terrible about it? He is trying to fix healthcare, and is beginning to focus more on the economy. He is working on the wars in the middle east and battling Al Quida and the Taliban. How is any of this bad?

The reason the people aren't supporting him is because they don't like what he is doing. He works for us!!! If we don't support him, he needs to figure out why and ifx it. Besides, all he does is blame Bush for the problems. a good leader takes responsibility, and doesn't try to get out of trouble by blaming others.

Thank you. Someone understands! I just moved to California and I can't escape all the liberal stuff. My family is considered rich by the Obama administration, but we can't afford to buy a house here. we're renting.( and we hope to leave as soon as possible and get back to Texas!)

He should not be increasing taxes on the rich. That is punishing them for succeeding. Everyone should get an equal opportunity. Richer people should not have to pay more because someone else can't.

Well, sometimes we all do that, especially to the President.=) But you have to think "what If I was in his shoes?" He has done good things as well, just give him a chance.

Well ok. I see your point. I haven't really been paying attention to the godd he has been doing. I have only been noticing the faults of his work.
