President Obama Covers Newsweek
Let’s face it: President Obama’s 1st term in the White House falls just short of even the lowest expectations of him. Mr. Obama promised to create new jobs and to bring relief to homeowners who faced foreclosure. Instead, Obama spent billions bailing out the bankers and the auto industry.
Still, the unemployment rate hovers over 8% — another promise broken.
The president covers the current Newsweek magazine, and the cover story, written by Niall Ferguson, pulls no punches.
Mr. Ferguson writes:
The voters now face a stark choice. They can let Barack Obama’s rambling, solipsistic narrative continue until they find themselves living in some American version of Europe, with low growth, high unemployment, even higher debt—and real geopolitical decline.
Or they can opt for real change: the kind of change that will end four years of economic underperformance, stop the terrifying accumulation of debt, and reestablish a secure fiscal foundation for American national security.
But as Ferguson points out, the president is still ahead of challenger Mitt Romney in the polls (by a margin of 50.8 to 48.2) and comfortably ahead in the crucial electoral college votes. But even if Obama wins reelection in November, he’s a loser in the eyes of many Americans.

just last week, you were telling us to vote for him instead of Mitt. i’m confused…
I agree. We need a new president,but I’m not sure the alternative is a good choice either. Obama has failed terribly. All of these “folk” trying to prop him up need to stop drinking the laced kool-aid.
One thing I know for sure is he has changed healthcare for the better. Talk to your doctor about how things have changed. I have and I get to see what he has done in action.
More importantly no1curr about dis right at the moment. We can read a million Obama stories every single day. The story of the day is Rihanna’s Oprah interview.
Newsweek still in print?
He’s not a loser in my eyes. Go vote for Romney/Ryan if you want to. I’m willing to give Obama another four years to fix this mess that was created before he came into office.

I’m not going to continue this debate about POTUS. He’s the most disrespected President ever! He had to fix the mess that was created before him and you can’t do that ish overnight…I’m so through with this subject….I know who I want as Presdient and I’m going to vote accordingly.

GIGI- Now dude backing away from his comments. THIS is why we need to vote from city council on up to president. That man may represent his district, but his vote counts for the whole country.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And had the audacity to say he “misspoke” WTF some things you should just remain mum on…
He may not have accomplished as much as SOME would have liked him too in this 1st term but if he makes it to a 2nd, there will be some major changes simply because he won’t have the threat of reelection hanging over his head. He won’t have to please anybody to be honest as long as he stays within legal rights.

So anybody see Sparkle??? I did. It was good to me. Not comparing it to any other movie. Mike Epps and the red Sista did really well in this movie. They are the stars.
Yes I cried. Whitney, had such a presence about her. When she sung His Eye is on the Sparrow and got to the part where she sung I AM FREE and lifted her arms……. Its like she knew peace was coming to her soon.
No I didn’t see Sparkle….but I heard that it was really good.

Its predestined already ready.. Barack will be president to finish the mission that the bankers sent him to do! Although i do not support “all” his policies, he will win nov 6.
And on another note I was n please with barack saying his not only the president for the black people etc.. His PR person should have slapped him and prep him on responding to that question..
He should have said, Yes I am the president for the black people and might I add for the rest of races etc etc… He and biden screws up with their wording

The fact that this dude said this, is just wow. You see what we up against. Got folks thinking all PP does is perform abortions. They taking rights away left and right. Sad. They making strict regulations on abortion clinics where now is only one in a state, if that. Folks gone be right back in a back alley if the repubs had their way.
They can let Barack Obama’s rambling, solipsistic narrative continue until they find themselves living in some American version of Europe

HEYYYY @DIVARO!!!
But he isn’t just the black people’s President. And that needed to be said because these racists in this country and the ignorant in this country will continue saying that he is ineffective, or unreliable, or unable to lead because he’s only there for us. They’ve been saying that since he started running and it must be addressed. I cringe every time I see or hear someone doing something stupid and then saying “I can do ____ cause my President’s black”

Romney and Ryan will not win the popular vote just for the simple fact that their policies hurt the middle class (working poor) seniors and poor class gets the bad end of the stick… The rich are outnumbered by the 99%..
And ryan past will definitely catch up to him being as though he has passed so many budgets under bush and clinton that it makes no sense why he opposses everything obama says! Barack does not need to when the popular vote.. He needs to stay the course and get those 270 electoral votes… hes on the right track as of now! And if he hit it home when talking about your POCKETBOOK/WALLET its a home run!!

He had the TARP program which barvosky told them it will fail, but barack had the wrong people in charge.. There is no need foor a third party and barack administration has set him up to fail just about!!! that foreclosure money did not help many people as planned… Barack is not a good overseer

I dont think its going to happen. I wish Obama had that phuck’em attitude that Bush had towards the Dems. Obama is too conservatie when it comes to the Repubs. He spends too much time and effort trying to work with them and they could care less.

That would make sense if we were talking about the mom and pop stores but imagine if a company like AIG goes under. AIG is a multinantional corporation that insures airlines, Hollyweird, and most major corporations in seveal countries. This company alone could shut down a variety of business fronts. Can you imagine if all commercial airlines were grounded indefinitely or most businesss couldn’t open not just in the US but everywhere? We would have more than an 8% unemployment rate..it would be survival of the fittest. The auto companies u mentioned are foregin. General Motors is a hub in the auto industry and would’ve finished Detroit off and hanicapped the US’s auto industry, we would have to rely on the foreign automakers. I agree the banks are playing big bank takes lil bank but we (citizens) have no control over whats to come.
Our economy would have prob been the same! Dont believe the hypE
We are screwed and there is no way to tiptoe around it

The only chance of our economy surving is longgggg gone. The Constitution states that currency is supposed to be backed by silver and/or gold (in case u are wondering why u see we buy gold spots popping up everywhere)otherwise the currency is worthless. The last Pres. that tried to implement that was taken out (Kennedy). In addition, paying taxes to the Federal Reserve is unconstiutional. However somebody has the pay the the interest back off the money that we are borrowing to stay afloat
Ty I hear what youre sayin.. But the government once worked for the people but now its the people working for govt..
We have given up our liberties to the bankers!
Its we the people!
Yes I know the fed reserve is unconstitutional but the people who we elect allow this non govt agency run us! This is why were living in the last days because there will be a revolt! no everyone will be willing to conform once realized whats really going on..

I completely agree but the issue is not who we are putting in office (their strings are being pulled also) its the lack of knowledge that we have about the system and how it works. Folks can’t fight the system if they dont see the problem. Education is key which is why “they” try to keep it limited. Like u said, their will be a revolt when or if people start paying attention.
I do believe that the bailout was necessary. Why? You cannot let the very institutions that hold the country’s and other foreign countries investment sink because then we would have a situation worse than the depression of the 30′s.
I am not an Obama supporter because I told people 4 years ago things was not goig to improve under his administration and it had nothing to do with race. I have always said Obama was taking on too much because he had so much clean up to do and no matter what he does it would never be good enough. In addition he was too wet behind the ears so he did not have that political savvy to manipulate others like the old dogs do. People forget that when Clinton came into office it took him 8 years to clean up the mess the original Bush created and this country did not get out of the rut it was in until year 5 going on 6 of the Clinton Administration. I always believed that Obama should have been given a position within the cabinet to learn what he needed and then show back up to run. However when you analyze what else is out there you have to be scared. This is because Romney and Ryan have no heart and they could care less about the setback they will place this country in they have one agenda and one agenda and that is to ensure that no minority race will prosper in this country and they will take everything away from our grandparents, parents, us and our children. Therefore as much as I dont agree with many of Obama’s policies in November I will be in that booth to cast the right vote.
@ hell_on_heels: did you even read the article? I understand that Obama’s supporters like to make excuses for his failures but this is ridiculous.

There are negatives and positives in each president’s record. Barack Obama has had many accomplishments which I feel the GOP loves to overlook. If John McCain would’ve been president and made the call to take out Osama…the grand ol’ party would never let us forget it and it would be his shinning achievement. Now we have borderline treasonous Navy Seals trying to swift boat the POTUS while simultaneously trying to further their birther agendas. Also, being from Michigan and having most of my family work at one of the big 3, I appreciate the auto bail out. Detroit would’ve burned to the ground otherwise.
Sidenote: I started reading The Book of Mormon last week and its a good read. Particularly the story of the Lamanites… google it.
