Questions about Barack Obama

nicknees93 · 2009-04-14 10:20:20

I have a few questions about Obama's actions which have been in the news lately. Some of these actions confuse me and I'm wondering if anyone can shed a light on these 'issues.'1. Obama bows to a foreign leader. How is this bad at all? Bowing is a sign of respect and even the country's newspaper said so. I don't understand why people are calling it a breach of conduct and what not. If anybody has an answer to this let me know.2. Obama 'fires' the head of GM. Some call this a socialist act? If anybody can explain to me why the most powerful man in the country isn't allowed to 'ask someone to step down' that would be greatly appreciated. To clarify, he didn't fire the man, he reccommended or asked him to resign.3. Obama smokes cigarrettes. Again, how is this bad at all? Besides the obvious health risks, this is a perfectly legal affectation which millions of Americans have. Why must we bash Obama for a dirty, yet perfectly normal habit.4. Obama is a socialist. Excuse me? I never heard him say he wants the government to have all the power. Did anyone else actually HEAR him say this?Anyway these are just a few points of interest for me. If you have the answers post here. It seems like the media is bashing Obama way too much for every little thing.

Probably from the "fair and balanced" station.
