Politics unite and divide people. This is especially true when talking about opinions on Barrack Obama. Obama is a pretty liberal guy, some of his policies even divide members of his own party. He is demanding that we have a massive healthcare overhaul and completely change the system. The Cash-for-Clunkers program is somewhat controversial and many people disapprove of his policies.
I have really liked Obama from the start, I think of him as a sign of hope in a country that seems increasingly disorganized and all over the place. Maybe part of the reason I really like him is the fact that President Bush was a disaster, and I think most of us can agree on that. I think of him as a new start for a new United States.
Lately, I have been questioning some of his policies. How are we going to pay for a stimulus package? Why is his top priority healthcare when the economy is struggling? How are we going to pay for any of this without raising taxes "at all" on the middle class? It just doesn't make sense, I mean, the money isn't going to come out of nowhere, it doesn't just appear before us. Our country already has a massive debt and it doesn't all seem to go together.
Overall I think he is doing a good job, but I am really starting to worry. If you would have asked me a month ago my opinion on Obama I would be a lot less worried. Anyway, does anyone have opinions about Obama... if you do, please comment.
