Where Does Obama Himself Stand WITH YOU????

There's no other way to look at it, theres no other way to put it and there sure as heck is no other way to ask it. So I will get right down to it. Has Obama let the American people down? Campaining to millions of people with a vision in mind and a plan of action in hand, has it now become a distorted vision and perhaps a plan that is STILL yet to take action?

According to an online website www.politifact.com, it has compiled about 500 promises that have come from the president's campaign. While tracking the efficiency of those promises on the "Obameter," and how much progression, if any has taken place since he has been in office; it will read either, No Action, In Action or Stalled. If in fact it was completed, it will read Promise Kept, Compromise or Broken.

As the campaign trail has faded and the president is now 8 months in office, do the American people feel any improvement has occured or any course of action has taken place? Though it's only been 8 months, we can easily list the issues of the day and how he's screwed up on every single one. However, there are much bigger issues at hand, thus being, are the American people starting to notice Obama's lack of substance?

The American people elected Democrat President Obama on the perception that he could be the one to come in and get things done...essentially cleaning up after ex Republican President George Bush. Perhaps the American people elected a democrat this time around, on the pipedream that if the Dems had total unchecked power, they might actually get things done. Get something done. But have they?

Are Congressional leaders too far left to actually allow a bi-partisanship to take place? Does Obama lack the will power and the effort, or even perhaps the guts to officially take charge on breaking out of this recession and say "This is what has to be done!!!??" American's, including myself are tired of hearing the broken promises, seeing and hearing about the continuous layoff's, reading news article after news article on the bailouts and the trillions and trillions of dollars in debt that we face as a nation and continously lay in.

There is no way of sugar-coating it, President Obama did in fact inherit a terrible mess: a $1.3 trillion deficit, two wars, rising unemployment and unprecedented crises in our banking system. The Obama Administration has worked and is continuously working tirelessly to address our immediate problems of rising unemployment, falling home prices and dwindling credit markets, all while taking a longer view in laying a strong foundation for future economic growth that benefits all Americans.

In the presidents recent speech, regarding health care, an address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama explained how health insurance reform will provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance, coverage for those who don’t, and will lower the cost of health care for our families, our businesses, and our government. Though he is not the first president to attempt to pass this Bill, he certainly strived to be the last. Question is.."How do those who do and do not have health care feel about the speech itself?" Essentially, he did pretty much vow to have this Health Care Reform be unlike any other- having an open, inclusive, transparent process in which all ideas are encouraged. My question to you, "Do you believe it?"

Lastly, as for the President's late night appearances on Jay Leno and David Letterman, is it cliche and campaignish for him to continuously appear on these late night television shows after already winning office? Should he decline these television appearances and spend less time boosting television ratings and use more drive focusing on boosting the confidence and liveliness back into the American people?

I myself, am very privelaged. I know I come from a hard-working family and most certainly know money doesnt grow on trees. Though we arent financially struggling, we know the importance of a dollar and we know that many many many people are. Though I may not know the EXACT in's and out's of President Obama's plans and promises, I can only continue to become more aware of the stuggles we face as a Nation and offer a helping hand to those who are struggling as individuals. It amazes me how far we have messed up and how much more we are going to have to loose and struggle until we can see a change again. The economic recession...A.K.A. DEPRESSION has only begun. Though our President has a few years ahead of him, my final question to you remains "With everything that has occured thus far, is he still the man that you once believed in?"
