Congratulations to President Obama, it really shows that Americans are the founder of dempcracy. Hopefully other countries will follow that example of being a true democratic
To President Obama don’t forget how hard life used to be in that country, rule with pride, and respect the people who voted for you erespective of your skin colour. It really shows that the world will become one in future, where people will live together with respect, dignity and without descrimination
You reminds of South Africa becoming free from evil government
LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY

Obama, you are the greatest inspiration i have ever come across. I watch a lot of things going wrong in my country which frustrates me alot. Your election is one thing that went RIGHT. At least one correct thing happened. Bravo sir. Keep the fire burning and help all the politically opressed countries like Kenya REFORM and end IMPUNITY.

I’m very grateful to President Obama for passing the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009. Credit card debt negotiation has been a difficult process for many people, and the new rules give individuals more control and power over their credit.

Keep up the excellent work you do. You seem to genuinely care about people and I think you could be America’s saviour- I hope the good work you do will eventually bring peace to America and all of us.
I think you are a very intelligent man and know what is going on in the world.
You are an excellent President.
God Bless You Mr Obama

I would like to see more help for the people here in the united states. The president is flying everywhere to forien countries which cost us so much money that we don’t have. The focus is not where it needs to be and I can’t beleive that while we’re in such a bad financial state ourselves, he continues to spend billions of dollars. We are in so much debt that we will never get out of it. Please put more time and interest into our own country before it’s too late for us. I do care about other nations but we can’t help ourselves right now. Lets get our problems solved before helping others solve theirs. It’s common sense.

I have a great idea which sounds crazy but it’s so brilliant. Disney world is so organized and so beautiful and let’s face it, it’s perfect. Why can’t our country be exactly like that? Everything is bliss there and we could actually be just like that if we wanted to. I think every person in the united states should all earn the same wages, all equal. Everyone would take more pride in their jobs and this would solve crime, poverty and so on. Everyone would have a better life and the world as we know it would become coheasive and pleasent. It’s that simple so lets get started to make this a wonderful world.

First I believe that the soldiers/vets who return from war should get priority for jobs. What happened to the situation whereby companies had to keep the soldiers job while at war. Something needs to be done about this.
Second The issue of Major Dixon why should she be treated any different than anyone else. People have lost their jobs over minor issues whereby everyone is discussing whether she should stay in office. I THINK NOT!

President Obama fully deserved his election as he deserved his recent Nobel Prize. After 8 years of Bush he is like a breath of fresh air. Congratulations on the Health Care Reform Bill and here’s to it passing through the last few stages of the process. His careful navigation through the turbulent waters of the Financial crisis have been so far a big success. All in all, I can safely say, my hope for the future is brighter with you in charge! I even went and purchased some tanzanite jewelry to celebrate your inauguration and will be wearing it and Election 2012 when I’m sure you will win again!
