'Obama himself has stated once the election is over, he will act in ways that are unappealing to the American public' Another reason we need a one term limit. He could have started it 4 years ago. The truth is he'll just continue with the same baiting he always has. That's all he knows. The USA will continue to deteriorate.

Hawaii Lawmakers Pass Bill to Create 'Islam Day' By Kelly Chernenkoff May 06, 2009 AP HONOLULU -- Hawaii's state Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill Wednesday to celebrate " Islam Day" -- over the objections of a few lawmakers who said they didn't want to honor a religion connected to Sept. 11, 2001. The Senate's two Republicans argued that a minority of Islamic extremists have killed many innocents in terrorist attacks. "I recall radical Islamists around the world cheering the horrors of 9/11. That is the day all civilized people of all religions should remember," said Republican Sen. Fred Hemmings to the applause of more than 100 people gathered in the Senate to oppose a separate issue -- same-sex civil unions. The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote. It had previously passed the House and now goes to Republican Gov. Linda Lingle. The bill seeks to recognize "the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions" that Islam and the Islamic world have made. It does not call for any spending or organized celebration of Islam Day. "We are a state of tolerance. We understand that people have different beliefs," said Sen. Will Espero, a Democrat. "We may not all agree on every single item and issue out there, but to say and highlight the negativity of the Islamic people is an insult to the majority" of believers "who are good law-abiding citizens of the world." But Republican Sen. Sam Slom argued that the United States has become too sympathetic toward Islamic extremists. "I don't think there's any country in the history of the world that has been more tolerant than the United States of America, and because of that tolerance, we've looked the other way a lot of times, and many thousands of our citizens have been killed by terrorists," said Slom, a Republican. The lone Democrat voting against the bill opposed it on church-state separation fears. Read more: foxnews.com

>> The recovery under Bush was the weakest since WW II. You can state all the ways Bush's performance was poor. But the facts are quite clear that Obama cannot match Bush's performance. LOL. Most of the world and most of this country thinks Bush was a douche but you desperately cling to your thesis because you voted for him TWICE and can't stand considering the possibility that you are part of the problem. Let me clear that up for you right now..........you are part of the problem.
