i saw it comming for a long time...it is AWSOME...

THE SAME WAY I ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT HIM! HES A TERRORIST,HES 4 ABORTION.

Honestly, I hate it. He is wanting to change the Star Spangled Banner because he feels that 'the bombs bursting in air' part encourages war, he wants to shut down oilrigs off-shore so that people will lose their jobs, he wants to make peace with the countries worldwide - what have our soldiers been fighting for all this time? What have some died for? There are so many things that I do not agree with. Now that there is a black president (I don't care about the color of his skin), but think of how many black people will come up to tell you smart-ass remarks about how black people are now running the world and the white, asian, jamacian, etc can't do shit about it.

I feel the same about Obama now that he is President of the USA as before he was president. I am waiting to see what he does as president and how he deals and handles the US financial crisis, Afghanistan/Iraqi War, health care issue, national debt, tax reforms, etc before I decide if he is a good president or not. I'll take a wait and see attitude.

President of the soon to be former USA, but that`s a misnomer.

i hate it, he will ruin our country

Well, first he will be getting his transition team together. Then he will be getting his cabinet together. Throughout, he will work with President Bush and HIS team to transition to the presidency. Then, in January, 2009, he will BECOME President and start running the country. I think about Obama, the same thing I would have thought about McCain. He's gonna be BUSY for the next few months, then for the next four years.

There seems to be a good feel factor for the majority of people now he is president. This is a historic event and there is hope at this time of recession. A change is necessary and his dynamic and young approach is what is needed right now for USA and the world. Of course we will never totally agree with everything the new president stands for so give him a chance before you moan.

I point out that he's not actually the president yet - He is yet to be inaugurated. But I feel sorry for him, because the way people are talking him up, if he's not absolutely perfect, then he's going to get absolutely massacred.

he's an evil man if everybody saw his background check and his affiliates they would run for cover he would get taken in by the fbi.

Knew this kind of question would be posted, but I've very happy that Obama's president, it's about time for a change, and for a democrat!!

Goo Obama finally something this government does makes sense. and for everyone hating on obama haha hes president so get over it !

Uh he will be the president on Jan 21, 2009 but keep in mind that running a outstanding campaign is far different than actually leading a nation...we will see.

Ok, it's a huge, pivotal moment in US history and (almost) everybody is feeling really, really good about it (jeez, to choke up Jon Stewart -- imagine that), blah, blah, yadda. Dude's got a hell of a lot of work to do. I think he touched on it well when he said we've given ourselves the chance to do something great, and now we have to do it. All he can really do is point everybody else in the right direction. Getting us to go there (or if it's actually the right direction) is something else entirely. All in all, he's shown a lot better organization, a lot more executive acumen (even Bill Bennett agrees this was probably the best-run campaign ever), an uber sense of cool in the face of chaos, and just plain better leadership than McCain, and that's a good sign. W, of course, just doesn't rate. For cryin out loud, the guy had a million people marching in Teheran in support of the United States after 9/11, and he effed it all the hell up.

I AM VERY PROUD THAT HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE AND I PRAY THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BE ABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUES THAT BUSH HAS CAUSED. I HAVE WATCH SPEECHES AND LISTEN TO INTERVIEWS AND NO MATTER WHAT WAS THROWN AT HIM HE STAYED COOL SO I THINK THAT HE WILL DO WELL HE HAS PROVED THAT HE CAN KEEP HIS COOL UNDER PRESSURE. I FEEL SO SAD FOR HIM BECAUSE HIS GRANDMOTHER DID NOT GET TO SEE HIM MAKE HISTORY BUT I AM SURE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY PROUD.BY THE WAY MR. PRESIDENT IF YOU GET TO READ CONGRATULATIONS & YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY I LEAVE WITH YOU THE FOLLOWING WORDS OF ENCOURAGMENT: God is ever near to those Who have a broken heart Through the loss of someone dear That tears your world apart It seems so overwhelming The grief too much to bear But know that God is with you He loves you and He cares © By M.S.Lowndes

I still hold the same opinion: sketchy dude. But we'll see what he does...

The same opinion: he is a wonderful human being. And a fox.

My opinion hasn't changed. I disagreed with him then and think he has gotten off to a rocky start

I think Obama is the right person to be president right now. I think his only holdback is that he is not doing what needs to be done; he's wasting his time trying to reach out to the wacky, out of ideas Conservatives. Change is about moving away from failed Conservative ideology, and implementing a progressive agenda...

What do I think of him?...Well I think he should have remained a Senator from Illinois.At least till he finnished one full term.Other than that will have to see.

He has proven to be everything I thought he would.

I still like him,except the bailout(now called Stimulus to make it sound better though it is still a bailout)package,which is a big mistake.It WILL NOT change the state of the economy by giving the banks more money to abuse.I also disagree with sending any troops to Afganistan,and the US should keep their nose out of there.

I personally think he needs to do alot better than what he is doing now

My opinion is exactly the same. Before the election, he was a Marxist (socialist), anti-life, anti-freedom, anti-Christian, anti-gun rights, extreme left-wing, inexperienced politician.

Straight dude. More balls than the entire W administration.

I still watch with great fear . As he rolls over and does other tricks for iran just to show a olive branch Before long i fear we might be another spain telling the terroist " well ok if you dont blow up this we wont or will do this as you ask *i can easily see the U.S becomming a paper tiger under Obama

Decent man, bad agenda.

How can you possibly think he is doing good? He is spending more money then any president everr has in the history of our country....we are in DEBT up to our eyeballs people. He goes to other countries and gives them an apology for us Americans, and tells them how sorry we are for treating them like we have. How have we treated them so wrong? And what do we need to apologise to terrorist countries and their wacky leaders for? In my opinion, the way he acts and presents himself to these other countries makes him look whimpy. He needs to be strong ad stand up for us and stop making us look like a whimpy country, before they take advantage. He has passes a law to close a prison that houses terrorist but has no idea where he is going to put them...Why didn't he think about this before signing it? Why didn't he do a little more research into this before jumping in and signing something? He does some of the craziest things and the people love him dearly, and the press love him dearly. What is the big deal? What is so wonderful about this man? I just dont get it. Is everyone blinded to this man's actions? He has allowed the abortionist that while they are doing and abortion , and the baby is still alive they can just throw it to the side and let it finish dieing. Is that right? That is horrible!!! What kind of human being can allow such enhumane things to be passed through? We the American people seem to forget that he NEVER released where he was born...and was still allowed to be in the election? Why? Why is he treated so much different then any of our other presidents? Why do they allow him to get away with more? Why are the democrats allowing this? Why are the republicans allowing this? Why is he not held to the same standards? I myself think that he is just a puppet. With his actions and the way he carries himself and his speeches at these other countries, or here for that matter doesn't make him look like a leader. WHERE IS THE CHANGE WE ALL WERE PROMISED! I hope it wasn't to put our country into record # debt. Everytime I talk or hear anything about this man I get really irritated. Everything he says is a lie...Everything he passes through is never thought over well enough and has so many loopholes in it it's UNREAL!!! Wake up do some research and stand up for your country, and your rights, and your family! Our children and grandchildren are going to live a horrible life with the way things are headed... I need to stop....I feel like screaming!!!

Politically, the same as Bush. As a person, very charismatic, intelligent and articulate

I think so many others in Washington are working against him because all they care about is themselves and do not care about the people. It is more and more evident that they are all sell outs, they sold out the American public and any president that got in and truly tried to help the people would be running into the same problems. He's a good man, a good president, I don't always agree with him but he's trying very hard to fix the mess of a country called the USA. So many in Washington are paid for and bought by the big corporations including democrats and it shows more and more.

Seriously, since we do need some big changes in our country, I was hoping that something would happen to change my mind about Obama and that I could actually say something nice for a change. But...sorry I can't. He is destroying America very quickly in fact. Hopefully in 4 years, we will still be able to turn the damage he is doing around, after we get rid of him. He is an embarrassment to America.
