because he was elected by the media instead of the people

Exactly. And as far as I can see, he hasn't done much so far. I think he did inherit a chit sandwich for sure, so he has an uphill climb, but either way, he's nothing but another figurehead.

On a good note, he can actually speak to an audience without sounding like a redneck idiot. And at very least, I hope he earns back some respect for the United States that was lost (or rather punched in the stomach and then kicked in groin) while Premier Bush was in office.

I don't like Obama much, but Bush was a straight up buffoon. Bottom line, he's a politician. Nothing more. I'm just sick of the way this country is run by one extreme or another. It seems there will never be a middle ground president.
