Is the president doing too much,too soon?

[LadyDread2010]

Well,he's only been in office for about a week or so,and he's already making plans to close Guantanimo Bay,reaching out to Muslims in the Middle East,and trying to fix the economy. You don't think he should slow down a little bit?

Uuhhhhh no?

This is his JOB. This is what he signed up for when he decided to run last year.
He doesn't have time to sit back and 'soak it all in" or "bask in the glow" while our ecomony is in shambles with MORE job cuts on the way and a war we are waging that we can start NOW to conclude. Also this is why you have a cabinent.



If the phone rings at 3am you want him to ignore it til 6?

WHat you basing this question on? Something you read, your own observations....?

[LadyDread2010]

Good points...but do you think it's unyielding ambition or fullfilling his promise?

Possibly the second one.

Again...since you posted before I finished my edit...what are you basing all of this on?

[LadyDread2010]

I've been watching CNN since the inaugration...and I just hope that his health isn't affected by all this stress,even though it will be. Interesting sig,by the way.

He's not John McCain.

To be honest I am not sure exactly where you are going with this thread...if this is simply a matter of his physical and mental health, then I will answer that by saying anyone that runs for president, that is what they sign up for. They should already be aware of the trials and tribulations that await should they be elected. By Obama only being in his mid 40's isn't too likely to just 'keel over' dead from the stress.

Again, this is their job to juggle multiple issues simultaneously. That's why they are the president.

[LadyDread2010]

LOL...another good point,John McCain is not young at all,and I'm not knocking on Obama's ambitions at all;in fact I'm very proud of him.

Yeah. I have read articles about how ALL of the presidents have suffered stress-related ailments during their presidency...ulcers, migraines, angina, etc.

Wasn't Guantanamo Bay already closed? Didn't he just speed up our removal from the location? (I'm too lazy to search for an article).

But reaching out to those affected by our war and fixing our economy are two things he's supposed to be doing. As someone stated earlier, that's what he's in office for.

No, G-Bay should have never been opened, we should have reached out to the Muslim more than 100 years ago, and the economy won't be fixed by him or any other president, ever, but the general public is too stupid to realize this so every president since we went off the gold standard has been held accountable

What is the gold standard for presidents?
