Seriously.
Because our health care system is working now?
Because our version of "democracy" is working so well at the moment?
Because 2 wars that Bush started won't be paid for for generations and generations?
Because people should be held in prisons without a trial?
Need I go on?
As far as I'm concerned, nope. You said it all.

Re: Fourth Grader Asks Obama " Why does everyone Hate You?"
Didn't want to start drama and I was vague on purpose. I just think that he should have answered the question in a way that shows the child that people have to take responsibility for their actions and their decisions, something like "As the president, I make decisions for my country which I believe will be in our best interest and are right for us. Some people will not agree with me and some people may not benefit from my decisions, and those people may not like me because of that" - or something along those lines. After all, I don't know of any president that has had a 100% approval rating. I just think his answer was a cop out, as if the decisions he makes do not affect the entire country and he's blaming some people's dislike of him on the country's economic situation.

I think it was a bizarre question - obviously this kid is too young to remember any of the past presidents! i find it weird that this is getting so much coverage.

Well Drama likes drama and right now someone has to be blamed so Obama is the man in the hot seat. Its interesting how many people blame him for the mess we are in right now because of economic woes. However many of the problems he is dealing with was there before the high unemployment rate but I guess the naysayers didnt really care since their wallets were not the ones widely affected and was too heavy with $$$ to point fingers then

Re: Fourth Grader Asks Obama " Why does everyone Hate You?"
Isn't his approval rating below 50% still?
You would think it was at 90% by some of the posts here.
