So Paul, are you implying that Obama is just good at giving some amazing speeches? - Shakeel Mahate

So far there's not a whole lot else he's done - LANjackal

That's all he's good at. That and winning Nobel peace prizes. :) - Piaw Na

Yeah, which he got by pretty much doing nothing. Except showing up. I think awarding him the prize was more of a protest against the previous admin's policies than an acknowledgement of anything Obama actually did. That's OK though, the world never congratulates warriors and everyone likes a sappy story - LANjackal from IM

I don't care what Obama's done. Right now I only care about what he hasn't done, like invading foreign countries or letting the economy tank. - Gabe

If all the nation wants from a president is inaction, we're not worth saving - LANjackal from IM

Inaction is not enough to get his base excited enough to go vote in the mid-term elections. - Piaw Na

I'm afraid that inaction is preferable to action for the sake of action. Most (probably 99%) of the time when a politician feels that "something must be done!" or "we've got to do something!", the proper thing to do is actually nothing. - Gabe

I posted last night that Obama was the reset button for the Bush admin, which IMO - though I am conservative - was starting to go off the deep end in terms of (lack of) due process. But I'd expect more than simply occupying The Oval Room - LANjackal from IM

Oh don't get me wrong, I didn't mean action for it's own sake. That's just as stupid. But there are a number of issues for which he should have struck while the iron was hot and had the advantage. Now that red tide is returning, he may have squandered his 1st year in the WH - LANjackal from IM

This has nothing to do with Obama. I just think Eminem would be a remarkable president. - Paul Buchheit from iPhone

He would do no evil - Christopher Galtenberg

The red M&M or the green one? - Jesse Stay

This thread went thataway. - Derrick

I agree, most people don't give Marshall credit, but how many of us sat down and read through a dictionary. Also, he could give some amazing speeches, which he wrote himself, and confound all the old folk as he spits it out like a verbal assault on their sensibilities. - Jimminy, CoG of FF

If by amazing you mean hilarious I'd agree. Em's got the mind of a dirty comic and the restraint of a street thug, so whatever the topic you'll get the 'straight talk' but it will probably either gross you out or make you laugh. Me, I usually laugh at his lyrics, but I can see why other people would be offended - they're prudes, is all. - Chris Heath

I can also think of 3 white rappers I'd rather see as President: The Beastie Boys, because I know they'll fight for my rights! - Gabe

Can you imagine Nancy Pelosi introducing him b4 the speech Ladies & Gentlemen - SLIM SHADY - DIY Body Cleanse
