I was a very big supporter of Obama and his policies before he came into the helm at the White House. He promised so much in his Election manifesto that he fooled me just the like many hundreds of millions if not, at least a billion people around the world. Let’s face it we thought this guy was God. But look at him now, no I am not talking about his first 100 days. Look at what he has really done. Apart from travel around the World and fix relationships that the dreadful Bush administration damaged so much, he has stuck to a lot of the policies Bush put into place. The Anti-Ballistic Missile Defence shield in Poland and Czech Republic, as I recall, there was a great hope that this would be scrapped when Obama came into power, it didn't happen. In the US he has increased the Department of Defence budget at a time when the country could do without extra spending. There is still continued support from the White House for Mikhail Saakashvili despite his opposition party and many of his people asking him to step down. Yes, there are some good things he has done at home, like decreasing tax for anyone earning under $200,000 (I believe this to be the figure) and I believe they are making strides in bringing about much needed healthcare reforms. But a problem still remains with the US and their disastrous foreign policy. Obama and his administration are an improved version of the previous Bush administration. They are not stupid but they still need to stop fearing whatever is holding back their potential to really make that change not only at home but across the world. whoami-web.co.uk
