Assessing Barack Obama--New York Times

this is an article in today's New York Times -online-
It is an evaluation of how he has done on his campaign promises by several authors.

Election Anniversary - Assessing Barack Obama - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com <== link to full article.

Published: November 4, 2009

Election Anniversary

Assessing Barack Obama

A year after Barack Obama was elected president, he is juggling many of the issues that defined his candidacy — and then some. He is in the middle of lengthy debate over whether to expand the war in Afghanistan, and he continues to press for an overhaul of the health care system. While it will be years before it is possible to gauge the success of his governing agenda, Times reporters offer these assessments of his record on some of the issues so far.

Interesting, Thanks For The Post! I Hope That He Comes To Some Senses For Our Community And Creates A Way For There To Be A Regulatory System Adhered! But Who Knows How Long That Will Take...

Re: Assessing Barack Obama--New York Times

Interesting article there Stanley. I've seen a lot of similar stuff recently. I think the idea of holding him accountable to his campaign promises is fine 'n dandy. At the same time, I wish these folks would have waited till he'd actually been in control for a year prior to making these assessments. We're all aware of the fact that there's about a two month lag between the elections and taking the oath of office, so I'm a little puzzled.

Then again, I just received an e-mail promotion from Aeropostale (a popular clothing store in case some folks on here were unaware ) talking about their upcomming x-mas sales 'n shit, so I guess I shouldn't be surprized.

He was supposed to be for peace. I am quite disappointed that he is going to continue in Afghanistan.

He did campaign on escalating the war in Afghanistan, but I really, really hoped he'd change his mind once the weight of our fallen troops rested on this shoulders. Looks like that was total wishful thinking.

Re: Assessing Barack Obama--New York Times

thanks for the great article Stanly, they are starting to ask whats up (the media).

VDC -- when he was running, he said he had a plan, he took the job, he has to perform.

BB-- exactly, he changed the people running the war about 7 months ago i think, its been his plan since. Know its getting to the point where our allies are questioning why they are there (bbc).

imo-- i bought the change thing, i wanted to see a clap down on unethical practices in the financial industry. I wanted to bring the troops home.. I wont vote for him again even if he puts a new porshe in my drive way...

Re: Assessing Barack Obama--New York Times

VooDoo Chile....

I think the Times was just looking for an excuse to run the article... its one year since the election.... thus they get to say "a year after the promises".....

I too wish they had waited until he had been in office a full year. But, truthfully, I dont think it would change the results much.

Way harsh dude! IIRC, candidate Obama said his plan for Afghanistan entailed sending more troops and focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure i.e. building schools, roads, etc. Obviously I didn't agree with it then anymore than I agree with it now, but with respect to Afghanistan, I think he's more or less delivered on his crappy campaign promise.

No, I sincerely doubt it would have changed the results. I's just nitpicky.

Re: Assessing Barack Obama--New York Times

well, at least everyone can still "hope", that ole barack hussein obama will live up to his words ...

i wish him well, but he too will fail, the corporate ship united states answers to world bankers, not the "figure head" that "they" put into office ...

goddess help us all

kennabis says..you mean, uhhh, i'm not my name?!?
nope, you're a flesh and blood human, that "uses" a fictitious name!
