How's Obama Really Doing

The blog article "Obama Really?" discusses the large roll that race and Obama's vocal elegance played in the 2008 election. While I do believe that his race played an important roll in bringing out new voters to the polls, I don’t believe it was the key aspect that won him the election. Obama -like the post said- is a very elaborate and... I believe the best way to describe his vocal talents would be to call him a demagogue. He speaks in a manner that makes people put their trust in him without second guessing him. I think it’s important to point out that Obama’s fiscal policies are to blame for our nation's dwindling economy. I think the problems began earlier than the author of this post believes. I think the original problem lies not in the legislation passed recently but in the election itself. During the last debate many people realized that obama was going to win the election, and the thought that a socialist was about to come into power scared many Americans into pulling out what money they had invested in our economy. After reading this article you have to wonder if politics itself is corrupt. The point made that our leaders worry more about retaining their power than problems affecting the nation is a valid argument. If our leaders were less concerned their poll numbers and more concerned about issues like our ever increasing national debt maybe our nation wouldn’t be in the situation it's in now.
