I don't know if these people are simply ignorant as hell, but it seems that many people really hate Obama. I ask them why, they simply say "What has he done?". It's been a little over 2 months in office. How much is he SUPPOSED to have done? Saved the economy?

It's just conservatives being bitter. :P

Given that Obama's implementing policies with which I largely agree, I couldn't care less if the conservatives complain for the next four (or eight) years :P.

No politician will be universally liked. Why is important that others have differing opinions?

He just signed a huge spending bill, which is the main gripe.

One could ask the same question of the people who hated Bush in 2001 after he took office. Fact is that people simply will hate.

Clearly they want Bush back. He was pretty popular, you know.

It's not so much what he has done, it's what he hasn't that is getting people upset.

because Obama is on a down escalator. Alot of his policies are not liked even though he remains popular with the people. Eventually his policies will be hated enough he will lose Popularity as well. He's just had a couple bad Ideas, including the ridiculously huge budgets.

@ jimbojones:

I really hope you joking, because that is the most ignorant thing i've heard in long time.

But then again what could you expect from a twelve year old ????

I agree. Eventually his poorly regarded policies (even to a lot of Dems) will eventually catch up with his rating causing it to drop.

I know, it's weird, he's the only President in history to have his approval ratings drop below 100%.

It's just so much fun. But honestly, his whole philosophy on the role of government and of the United States in the world is not something I can agree with. Also, he's a Marxist Leninist Stalinist Trotskyist Maoist Bolshevik Islamo-fascist.

Liberals like him because he's doing what they expected. Conservatives hate him for the same reason.

Like Pirate700 said, now you know what it feels like. And it comes with the job, why does it matter.

You only pay attention to the hate, so you're under the delusion that hes being hated alot. Well, truth is hes not. There is much more praise and worship.

Besides, hate is a strong word. I suppose you could say to dislike.

his idea of government stepping in and interfering probably wouldnt happen if America wasnt doing so badly I think he would have the government stay out of it but what would it be like if the government did nothing to help America when it is in such dire need?

It can be argued that government intervention has caused a lot of our economic problems to begin with. If the problem was that the government wasn't intervening enough, wouldn't the economy be doing well since we have among the highest corporate tax rates in the world?

Because most American's want things "NOW", and since the economy has not been magically fixed, it's Obama's fault. Obviously.

Because the only thing he HAS done so far is throw money down the drain. He's wasted money at a faster rate than any president in history. Which is ironic because we already don't have money to spend.

Honestly, conservatives were probably inwardly pleased when he got elected because they enjoy complaining about the "wrongs" of the liberals more than actually having a conservative in power. Honestly, my mom is this way. I think she enjoys complaining about Obama more than having Bush in power.
