Does world expect too much of Obama?
COPENHAGEN — Quamrul Islam Chowdhury, a U.N. climate conference delegate from Bangladesh, says “the world expects a lot from President Obama and that he “should make sure he does not disappoint the world.
But it will be almost impossible for Obama not to disappoint the world when he arrives here next week — in large part because the world keeps ratcheting up the expectations on him.

Does the world expect too much of Obama?,,,, NO... We all knew he was a pillock from the start.
Did anyone know that Bush actually contributed more money to fight of Aids in Africa than any other leader? That seems to go un-recognised along with Clinton's contribution to global warming.

What you say makes sense hoppy, we just don't have the courage to do it.
He's just a figurehead, that is all. The people who really run this country are well hidden.
Israel isn't getting a handout. We are paying them for a service.

And of course they accept it happily. And some whom have never served, such as Fox news broadcasters and others may not be able to appreciate what that means really.

Yeah, President Obama is a rock star! (And thank GOD he's intelligent and well-spoken!) He's charismatic and a very good leader, but in the end... he's just a man.
What matters is how WE respond to him.
I asked my parents after JFK was assassinated what made him such a great man. My father answered, "Because he made us believe in ourselves. When he said, "You can do it, well....we did!"" I guess that's why it pains me so much to see how divided and partisan we are now. The right hates the left and the left hates the right and everyone seems to have forgotten that feeling we all had on 9/11...
of being on the same team.:yh_peace

It was your universal statement that I have issues with, Oscar. And I'm not getting into a slanging match over American politics. Forum Garden has a few members who express their opinions very loudly. They may drown out other opinions. But please take note. There are other opinions.

Who Is drowning out? My staement was based on most people I know in real life. If the fact that there are people out there who do not share in your Joy of Obama, then, that is life.
I made a tongue in cheek comment and you came blazing in with a post that Included my opinions on any other forums. Did I mention other forums? Do not accuse me of trying to get into a slanging match when it was you who so rigoursley replied to my post.
No-one is saying for one moment that anyone's opinion is less regarded than others. I have just as much right to post that people I know think Obama is a pillock as you do to post that you think he's wonderful.
Good heavens... you don't see me getting into such pedantics when gmc calls Gordon brown a moron. That's the whole point of a forum... ALL opinions are relevent not just the one's who happen to agree with you.

Did Pam mention other Forums? No
Did she come blazing in? Not particularly - a reasonable enough comment about your use of the inclusive "we" when you meant "I".
Pedantic? Not really - many people like to speak for themself rather than have another claim to speak on their behalf which is what you appeared to be trying to do.

Fine... I'll start with this:
It's an absolutely loaded question.
key words: "world", "expect", (phrase) "too much" (anything).
work with that...
(hint: why would the "world" "expect" "anything" from Obama?)

Thankyou for the Imformation Saint. It appears that my asking Pam to list his achievements was in her words 'A slanging match'.
Thankyou for taking the trouble to get that Imfo together.
I dispute the Nobel Peace Prize based on the fact that deadline for nominee's was before he was In the Whitehouse. No-one seems to be able to come up with a valid and reasonable explanation as to why he was awarded It.

Well, why not...
oscar:
Agreed... no actual reason given to the peace prize. And I have to wonder if Nobel would cringe while while reading his obituary, knowing this would happen.
All things considered, if the basis for the peace prize is commuted "good feelings", then I think most of us should "win" it.
And... If "good feelings" equate to expectations, then, Obama seems to be the master of it, for now.
as far as Saint:
Any saint would have known better than to stray off topic for personal sake. Please, adjust your methods and direct your attention to more than cut and paste.

Before the topic question can be answered, we need an answer to the question: What does the word expect from Obama?
It seems to me that considering the past eight years, the bar is probably set fairly low, and Obama is, as almost anyone might be, looking like an overachiever, or at least a bit over reaching.
However, making generalized statements in either direction appears to be rather simple minded.

That is rough, Ahso!,
I have been away for a while (personal things)...
All I try to do is be reasonable (must be the math in my head).
Nevertheless, I guess it's time to ask some real questions and look for real opinions, and hopefully congruous answers.

A reasonable and healthy re-introduction, though that's not my decision.
Anyway, welcome back! I've not known you in the past but am looking forward to doing so now. Hopefully we can amuse you enough to stick around.
