Is President Obama just an opportunist

Is President Obama just an opportunist who road a wave of popular discontent ( among the masses) into office by "selling" them false hope in the same way any other business sells their merchandise i.e. PR, propaganda,media and advertising.

His campign was voted the best business model of the year, all other companies, corporations and conglomerates bowed down to his effective manipulation of the american people. Many beleived he would usher in a entirely new era in american politics, but what is more likely, obama is some kind of saviour or hes a war mongering elitist who serves the priveleged few in american society, just like every american president since WW2

He's a politician so...., it's kinda like the same thing. It would be redundant to call him a politician and an opportunist. ;)

I'm talkin about the motivation behind his campaign, he never had any intention of really changing anything, that might be bad for business i.e. you the top 5-10% of your population who control 90-95% of your countries wealth. Thats who Obama serves, not you, not any other american walking the street, sure your indictrinated to think that way but look at the facts on the fuckin ground for a second Joe.

Oh, for crying out loud! What makes you think that I wanted (or expected) him to change anything? You make way too many assumptions and then you act on them as if they were gospel.

Can you please stop using the word facts? You are a lunatic and you completely ignore facts. You keep claiming this nonsense that 5-10% of the US owns 90-95% of the wealth. Can you back up these figures at all? No. The top 20% may own 80% of the wealth, but you falsely skew the numbers to your ridiculous figures. And, is your lame country much better?

well, while I can only speculate, it appears that President Obama is an opportunist. He does try to make good on his promises which is better than most presidents. He tries to do what is right which is better than most presidents. But, he really doesn't get it, like most other presidents. Which means he is as ineffective as all the others. It is unfortunate, but it is true.

I look at the problem in a different light. If i were president, would I be any more effective? Well, while I would like it to be true, the answer is no way! Oh well, here is to the next more effective president.

For the record, I am not an Obama supporter, but just a realist.

Yes i can agree with what you are saying. I think if you were to become presdient you realise quite quickly if you hadnt already who your real masters are i.e. big business and the elites

The people of america are secondary and the people of other countries outside the western world are considered less than human as far as i can tell.

An opportunist. Understatement of the century. Indeed Obama played to the masses. Disenchanted Republicans, weary Independents and of course, he was a Liberal Democrats wet dream. He played not only to the country but to the world. For those of us who didn't fall for the flowery rhetoric and the promises of hope and change, who questioned his lack of experience and character, we stood shocked and stunned as he rode the tide of discontent all the way to the highest office in the land. Like a bad dream...and now we are all living the nightmare.

I agree completely but my argument is that McCain would have done just as bad. The position is corrupt. American president dont serve the people they serve the eilts primarily. Obama promised a change from this, people beleived him, they were foolish to as he is corrupt just as anyone else who would ahev taken his place.

I think the current president is no different to any of the others, sure hes not as extreme as George W. but really when you look closely all of his policies can be compared to other presidents, he was never really offering any real change, he was offering the illusion of change. That was his ticket to the whitehouse.

Obama is extreme! Bush sucked and Obama is worse and yes, Obama's ticket to the White House was his offering of change and because the liberal MSM didn't vet him at all.

Your missing the piont of the argument, he was voted in becasue people in America were truly fed up and wanted real change. American president all the back to J.F.K. havent been able to offer real change, i knew the day of his inauguration that nothing was gona change. The presidents postion is just as corrupt as any other government position in the US, your country need reform in the same way that Egypt does. Fior Christ sake your still responsible for backing the most brutal dictators in the Middle East, ya the current Libyan conflict may have drawn attention from it but thats reality./ Your supporting the repression of protestors in Bahrain, Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

obama is many things other than simply an opportunist.

He is also a chi-town pimp, a nood good street hustler who conned American voters to the extreme with his promises of better days to come.

By better days he meant our destruction, our utter submission to socialism( his God).

If ALMOST ANYONE had ran against him besides Mccain, we wouldn't have him or his America hating australiopithicene child devouring monster of a wife.

He can't be gone soone enough.

I hope after he is either impeached and removed or simply voted out, the indictments flow like the waters of the mighty mississippi.
