The perception of Obama by Americans is diverse, to say the least.
According to today’s Harris poll 40 percent of Americans believe he’s Socialist while 38 percent believe he’s like Hitler.
The poll also found that three-out-of-10 Americans think Mr. Obama is working for a one-world government. And 29 percent believe he has violated the United States Constitution many times. And 27 percent believe that he resents America’s heritage.
The signing of the health care bill against the wishes of the people did not improve his image.
Obama is a man of many faces. When asked by a reporter, during his campaign, if he were a Christian he replied “yes”, but in another speech he states that he is Muslim and that he comes from a long line of Muslims (http://www.praydailyamerica.com/id454.html)
While campaigning for the presidency Obama promised to unify Americans. Instead he has divided our nation.
When he was sworn into the presidency, with his hand on the Bible Obama took an oath to uphold our Constitution. He reneged on that promise March 23. He has trampled the rights of the people as no other leader ever has by passing the health care plan American citizens vehemently opposed and he used unethical and possibly illegal means to do so.
We knew very little about Obama when he became president and we haven’t learned much since. His college records were sealed and his original birth certificate has never been made public.
What we know of his past associates and actions, however, would have made it impossible for another to win an election but Obama managed to charm enough of the young and unwise to elect him as a president that even makes Carter look good.

•Verizon "told employees in an email Tuesday that Verizon's costs will go up in the near term, pinpointing a tax-subsidy reduction for retiree health benefits."
•Heavy-equipment manufacturer Caterpillar "said that its first-quarter earnings will be hit with a $100 million after-tax charge under tax law changes attached to the new health care reform legislation." Could lose 1000 jobs.
•AK Steele Holding Corp., "the third largest U.S. steelmaker by sales, said it will record a non-cash charge of about $31 million resulting from the health-care overhaul signed into law by President Barack Obama. The charge will be recorded in the first quarter of 2010."
•Valero Energy "will take a $15 million to $20 million charge to second-quarter earnings for the same reason."
•Medical-device maker Medtronic "warned that new taxes on its products could force it to lay off a thousand workers."
And now, let's add the biggest one to the list ... AT&T. It says that it will take a $1 billion charge against earnings in the first quarter because of Obamacare. Most of the CEO's of these companies voted for Obama, one said it was a grave mistake voting for this man. There goes the jobs!!

"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion — when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing — when you see money flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors — when you see that men get richer by graft and pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you — when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice — you may know that your society is doomed" … Ayn Rand
If we are to believe in individual freedoms that our Constitution provides, it is the right of each individual to be paid that which he earns.
Federal taxes should go for national defense. Beyond defense, states should decide the taxes that is needed. It's called states rights - of which we have been robbed.
"If we believe that men have any personal rights at all, then they must have an absolute moral right to such a measure of good health as society can provide."
I know that polls are worded in a way that would favor an agenda. However, I can't do anything about that. I can only quote the results. If a poll is quoted by CBS, MSNBC, NBC I thoroughly check it. They lag far behind in credibility and now ABC has made a deal that discredits them.
The only network that I trust is Fox News. They get to the bottom of every issue. I even go to other sources to support what they say.
the poll numbers that I quote come from Democrats and Republicans. I just quote them...I don't do the polls. However Fox does
To all - I have nothing to do but stay on the computer until 6 so bring it on.
I cling to the values of our Founders which is freedom, individual responsibility and the equal opportunity to use our god-given talents to succeed. The constitution doesn't promise us happines - just the equal rights to the pursuit of. And it doesn't compel others to pursue it for us.
What has made this nation so much more successful than others is our Capatilist conmomic system. However Obama plans to change that. He's on a roll now he's going to get it done quickly in case he doesn't make a second term.
Rather 0f CBS actually published forged documents. And can you believe that Bush never opened his mouth in his defense - Someone who was not into politics spotted it.
I don't believe CBS would have knowingly published them, but they were so anxious for it to be true they did not check it thoroughly. I believe Dan Rather was so bitter with hate that if he thought he could get away with it, he would.
Fox is the 'most trusted network' and the reason is that they explore and publish both sides of an issue. Evne Hannity, although Repbulican, he never gives his side without a Democrat on his show to take the other side.
The only time he doesn't is whe he's doing a special documentary which has nothing to do with his show
As I stated earlier the facts that I blogged earlier were stated in the Harris poll and I also stated my source of information, which consist of more than one source.

Are you drinking? You are way off here tonight. More so than usual
You either have a reading comprehension level of zero are you willfully and deliberately distort everything that you write and blog to this paper.
Source of information: CNN ,MSNBC, Harris poll printout from Bing on the internet.
First of all the Harris Poll was the product of Princeton University. The following information is data from the poll:
Two-thirds, 67% of all republicans polled believe that Obama is a Socialist.
45%of Republicans agree with the Birthers in their belief that he was not born in the U.S.
57% of Republicans think he is a Muslem.
24% of republicans think he is the Anti-Christ. I hasten to add here that I received a revolting email from the S.C. Republican party stating that they (the republicans) believed that he was the Anti-Christ and asked me to forward the email to everyone I knew, before the last election. I called the person who sent me that email and asked if she had lost her mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are just a few of the reasons that most of us think folks such as you are religious fanatics and have a few loose screws upstairs.
I'm just wondering why not an original birth cert. He received much of his training in Kenyan schools until sixth grade. I'm sure that's where his anti-american views originated,
And those crazy poll numbers, did you mention those polls were taken from "republicans" only? I won't even dignify it by calling it a republican, it was a poll of far right radicals who have hijacked the entire republican party. The real republicans get fired for stating the truth. Just this week the speech writer for George Bush Jr was fired for telling the truth. He pointed out the truth, the republicans are rule by Fox News, not the other way around. Let's face it, governing just isn't good TV.
So, keep singing the crazy song, Bonnie. I pray you will see the truth, but until then you are certainly amusing.
I, too, think it is wonderful that we can speak (and write) freely about our leaders and demand answers, however, what confuses me if you believe so strongly then why the criticism?
BTW - did you support Bush in everything?
