I liked Obama from the first time I heard him speak at the Democratic convention
many years ago and hoped he would be the president someday.
 
I'm a bit disappointed in some of the things that are going on like bailing out
the rich
but I don't know if anyone could have stopped that. I'd also like to see him end
the
war on drugs at least marijuana as that's what most of his supporters on his
website
said they wanted to see done.
 
I would like it better if he supported gay marriage but can understand why he
didn't.
Don't ask don't tell needs to be chucked so we have an integrated military.
 
I would like to see universal health care and not some kind of band aid fix that
leaves
big business in charge of our health. I think the only way we will get universal
health
care is to first get a universal ID card like the VA card I have.
 
Barack is a million times better than anything the Republicans had or have to
offer
so I'm feeling glad to be an American again.
 
As far as gun legislatoin goes I think that's more dependent on the number and
severity of atrocities that occur more than who the law makers are.
Every atrocity done with a gun is another nail in our gun rights.
That's plain to me.
 
Glad you found the group,

It hasn't been, but it probably should be now.

I'm curious how people feel about Obama. I mean altogether, and not just
on guns but certainly including that.

My reason for asking is that this is the one pro-gun venue that I know
of that isn't dominated by people on the right.

I have a lot more to say about pro-gun venues that ARE dominated by the
right and their response to Obama, but I wanted to know YOUR thoughts
and feelings about him and his administration, how and why he got
elected, the Republicans' attempt to beat him, their response to his and
the Democratic party's electoral victory, the current shape of the
Republican party (a fascinating topic by itself), and anything else
closely or tangentially related to Obama that you might want to talk about.
