I believe people are angry with Obama because they aren't used to having a president who is aware of the fact that he is "human". He's the first person, in my opinion, who isn't putting on airs and is still taking care of business. What do you think?

I think this "down to earth" stuff is his airs. As long as anyone has power over anyone else, I trust them as far as I can throw them. He made his name in Chicago, he still lets slip a lot of bush-like behavior, he just covers it with a determined, no-nonsense persona.

I am mostly of white european descent, but have som Native American Blood in my background, though you can't hardly tell, except for my feet. Native Americans tend to have wider feet then other ethnic groups. So I have Native Feet. LoL. Anyway, I am not a racist I did not vote for Obama, I just did not agree with his promises he was making. He lost me when he started belittling the men and women of our armed services and threatening to close Gitmo. The truth about Gitmo that Obama and his Administration don't want you to see! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtrzcBMbVXs&feature=channel Obama shouldn't be president. He has not proven that he is a natural born American citizen. He released a scan of a birth certificate, but it even looks like a forgery if you know what you are looking for. He has not let experts examine the paper document to confirm it is real. Do I think it's real? No, I was born in 1981,so I can be fairly certain of a few things. That document is definitely a fake in my opinion. Here's how I can tell. If it was a real birth certificate, it would have a few things that it mysteriousnly lacks. It would have the hospitals name, the attending physicians signature, and the hospital administrators signature. These are mysteriously missing. Also, as recently as 1981, original birth certificates DID NOT feature the certificate number, at least not in Oregon. Also, my birth certificate had the relevent facts written in with a pen, while Obama's certificate appears to have been printed on a computer. A computer in 1961? There is another possibility, though, so you know I am thorough. If you get a replacement certificate issued to you, it looks closer to what was placed on the net as Obama's certificate, but it's still not quite right. The text would look something like this: Certification of Vital Record Department of human Services Oregon Health Division, Center for Health Statistics Certificate of Live Birth Then it goes into the details. Missing on my replacement certificate, though, is any reference to race. Mine has my parent's names and where they were born, but neither my original certificate or the state issued replacements even have a place on then for my parents' races. Okay, that might be different from state to state, but these last two are standardized and noticably missing. First, all newly issued replacement certificates MUST have the states watermark, and there is no watermark on Obama's. And, on a true document this or something similar should be on it: I CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE, FULL AND CORRECT COPY OF THE ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OR THE VITAL RECORD FACTS ON FILE IN THE VITAL RECORDS UNIT OF THE OREGON HEALTH DIVISION. (Signature here) JENNIFER A. WOODARD, PhD STATE REGISTRAR DATE ISSUED: ________ MAY 15, 2001_______ I'm no expert, but on these grounds, combined with the fact that Obama has never let experts examine the document, convinces me that it is a fake. If he had to fake the document, then what is he hiding? Could it be that he was born outside the USA? That would mean he ran under false grounds and every vote he got would be invalidated, pissing off a lot of democrats, because in that situation, Joe Biden would not be the next President. John McCain would. Also any law or bill that Obama signs would be reversed because he should not have been president to begin with. In short, if he really is a naturally born american citizen he should be willing to prove it. Many of you will think that since his mother was American, so should he be. It does not work that way. His mother was too young. Had she been older, then sure, but she was too young, meaning if the father did not have citizenship, and the child was born out of the country, no citizenship.My understanding is thatat the time, the age requirement was 21 years.Assuming that Obama's birth certificate is accurate, she would have been 19 at the time, but Obama had admitted, prior to that Birth Certificate being released, that he was born in 1959, not 1961. That would have been whhen his mother was 17! Furthermore, during the month of August, 1961, Ann Dunham is known to have been in Washington, NOT Hawaii, which suggests, again, that the birth certificate is a forgery. I suspect that he was born in 1959, like he originally claimed, and that he was born outside the United States, and since Obama is taking no steps at all to disprove that theory, well, what do you expect me to believe? Do you know the chaos that will be caused if my theory turns out to be true? And the longer it takes, the worse it will be. And the one person with the power to to put the rumors to rest, if they are indeed wrong, is Barack Obama, and he's not doing it. If he is indeeda natural-born citizen, let him prove it, and so far he has not.

It's plausible. Considering the amount of Hubris displayed by his predecessor. It's seems that most shallow folks simply prefer equally shallow folks to follow.

You're right about his strength of character, but I think your wrong about the angry people. That's more about their lack of character.

Coincidentally, every US president has been a human.

Obama certainly isn't the first president who isn't 'putting on airs'. Former President Carter attempted to reduce formality while he was in office. I don't think you could accuse President Truman of 'putting on airs' either. In my opinion people are angry with Obama because they are finding out he's just like virtually every other politician. People are angry that politicians are not representing the wishes of their constituents. This isn't something new, and it's up to the people to exercise their right to vote for candidates who will do what the voters want. Public apathy has resulted in votes against an incumbent who has angered them instead of for a candidate who will represent their wishes in the first place.
