Obviously. He is quite polite.

Politeness doesn't mean that he can be a country leader. What is the most important is how he runs the country. Not some sorta politeness in a speech.

you don't have to be polite to be powerful...

My personal opinion is though he can be blamed for the economic crisis, he hasn't done **** that he claimed he would. The unemployment rate has stayed almost the same, I think it has even dipped a bit lower this year.

Partly correct concerning the crisis, the Federal Reserve which he [Obama] supports is to blame for that.

Thats why we need to.... END THE FED.

A powerful speech does not equal a great leader. He made a great speech in Dublin when he visited, but it had nothing to do with his work as a president or his policies. He has still failed to cut US spending sufficiently and unless he is prepared to do that quickly he shouldn't get a second term.
