Because it's easier to discuss about a single person than it is all of the other facets of our government.

Like how people blamed Bush for life sucking? Or how poeple will blame the next pres. for life sucking? It just comes with the job. And yes I'm still waiting to be teleported.

Its because ive never seen a president promise so much and deliver so little. Yes, every president makes promises they cant keep etc. But jesus.. He went so overboard and clearly couldnt deliver on anything he said he could. Mccain lost for being to realistic on issues like Iraq and healthcare etc. which is pretty sad

Because Barack Hussein Obama is a Kenyan man who faked his birth certificate to become president of the United States. He is also a socialist, communist, marxist, fascist, nazi, maoist, tyrannical muslim terrorist who hates ALL white people (including his grandparents).

Obama plans to kill the old and the disabled with his health care reform and to kill babies with his birth control. He also eats his burger the wrong way.

Srs is this a joke topics?

I fail to see what he hasn't yet delivered on. I'm just assuming that Health Care Reform and Financial Reform are two of the main promises of "change" you were expecting... and would you look at that! He DID deliver reform. Not to say that the reform you wantedis being implemented. Let alone the tens of other promises he's made and delivered on as well. Oh, and yeah, he hasn't even hit his mid-term yet. I'd say that's pretty damn good. Now to legalize gay marriage!

Because some of us don't approve of his polices and vision for America and we have specific reasons for this. "So many" in OT? I was under the impression that most of OT was Obama friendly.

Americans have a distinct distaste of government (and its officials)

The president is the highest official, and there by receives the most hate.

We don't elect the military.

He also lied about getting rid of pork in our bills.

He said Obamacare wouldn't raise premiums, but they are and will continue until everything in Obamacare starts in 2014.

So please don't talk about Obama as if he is Christ reincarnated. He's a liar just like the rest.

People in political offices will almost certainly be criticised on what "ought" to be done on what actually "is" happening. Mainly due to the subjective nature of normative political claims (the "oughts", which I guess can be said to be in personal taste) and the range of solutions this brings to the empirical political facts (the "is"). It's an inevitable part of politics.

That's pretty much their own fault for not paying attention to what he actually could achieve realistically. They've really got to blame themselves for their unrealistic expectations and re-evaluate their voting behaviour.

wat. He 'doesn't controll the economy"? He controlls it as much as anyman can. And don't tell me you didn't blame the past president for every problem the nation faced. The President SHOULD get blamed for this nations problesms, it's his repsonibility.

Last I checked, the Congress is the branch of Government that controls federal money. Their incompetence is much more at fault than any President in regards to the economy (including G.W. Bush).

But even then, the Republicans haven't exactly made outlining a plan to improvement other than "Deconstructing most of the change Obama has made" much of a priority. Even if the changes in the last two years were for the worse, going back to the system established before 2008 isn't exactly more of an improvement (if the Wall Street meltdown and BP Oil Spill are anything to go by).

Because the president made many promises and while he delivered, what's criticized is how he's delivering it. Also his broken promises happen to always be in the spotlight. Also, all Americans do it. We did it to Reagan. Reagan is now a God to us even though he voted to raise taxes.

What I've noticed about American politics is that everything is about how you phrase things. Just take the health care crap as an example. Obama promoted national healthcare during his campaign, it was one of the main topics of discussion...but when he tried to implement it, people got all sceptical because the republicans started to call it socialist. I don't know why there seems to be so much general ignorance involved in American politics, but the crap the republicans and the conservatives are spouting would be laughed at and ridiculed in Sweden...not for being of a different opinion, but simply because it's unintelligent filth.
