Missy89: funny everyone is quoting me and at the end of the day only making up excuses for not getting the job done.
I have said already that his watered down health care was his only achievement.

using congress as an excuse is shows you how irresponsible he is.
US presidents have always had problems with congress (they never liked Kennedy either) and the tested and trusted strategy they always use if when the congress is not budging is that they take it to the people and by standing their ground . this usually move the poll numbers in their favor. the congressmen only care abut their seats. if this happens they give in eventually.

That was how the shutdown was solved. when Obama was campaigning against the congress blaming them for the shut down and refused to give in, the poll numbers showed the congressmen where viewed unfavorably and they quickly made a deal.

But Obama hardly does that , instead he makes concession at every chance he gets. he even proposed to cut social security without them asking for it and said he will keep 94% of bush tax cuts.

He agrees too much with the conventional wisdom in DC which is very right wing that is no sign of being in charge. he is inept but you can keep making excuses for him thou and playing the race card.

all he does his emmm... hummmm... emmmm.. eummm when he is in DC

Sounds like you have a personal agenda against Obama, I wonder if you are eligible to vote sef, it is well! From the bolded, I can tell you have no idea how the U.S Government works, I kind of think it's cute . Here you are comparing Obama to Kennedy in terms of obstacles, another joke I guess. All I can say is look at the facts and not what your aunties and uncles on television are saying. Look at the figures, the state of the economy 2008 in terms of unemployment, forclosures, etc and compare it to now, if you can honestly tell me progress has not been made, then I give up!!!

Missy89: Barack Obomber will be one of the most inept president in US history

I can see you are pretty young and probably don't know a lot about U.S history, if you did, you would realize how much of a joke your statement resembles. Learn to rid yourself of sentiments and focus mainly on facts and you'll realize this president faced an unprecedented level of chaos since Franklin Roosevelt and the Great Depression. What am I talking about?? 1: Name how many U.S presidents took office while 2 major wars were being fought? 2: Name another one to govern during a financial, hosuing and congressional meltdown 3: Name another president criticized so much based on his experience, skin color, place of birth and so on.

I can go on and on but I think you get the gist. Now wait a minute, I'm not saying Obama is one of the best presidents in U.S history, far from it but given that from 2008 till now, he has turned the U.S economy from loosing over 400,000 jobs a month to gaining over 100,000; He achieved the healthcare reform that has been impossible to do for over 30 years and finally he is teaching the rest of the world not to expect the U.S to rush into war or conflict as we have enough problems of our own. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that you would call such a president inept; a better word would be 'average' or 'satisfactory' considering the many obstacles he continues to face. Finally if all my reasoning still seems shaky to you, ask yourself this: Can you honestly blame the president 100% for any shortcomings in this current economy when the biggest culprit hides in the dark(Congress)?

Just another scare tactic, cancer does not respect anyone, if you like eat healthy, exercise, be prayerful; it does not matter at all. Life is too short already as it is, you now add fear to the list and you are gone! Look at the ridiculous list, I read somewhere else that bread, butter, potatoes, even fish can cause cancer, these scientists are nuts! Abeg pass me Agege bread 60 naira and fanta, cancer kor dancer ni!!!!!

Petersideman: Thumbs up to 2baba, some of u r here criticizing whereas he has been listed as the 12th best selling album on billboard, no nigerian has ever done that, even ur beloved dbanj nd odas nva near d milestone even wit dere changin record labels lik clothes..... Or have u nt heard that.... Lovly album, to the op doing the review, ao mani singles u don release sef 4 ur life## way u dy review pesin album##

Shut your stinking mouth, you know nothing! Take a look at the other albums on that list, they are all third class albums. It's a list meant to showcase top selling albums from artiste from non major markets such as Africa, Asia, western Europe and so on. They gave ratings based on itunes sales, not by quality. If this album was truly as great as you claim, then you are admitting that it is 2face's best ever album, we all know better than that....

Number 12 on the billboard world top selling chart, I think you guys are mentally challenged.

Faithfulness is not based on gender; male or female a person's personality would determine if he or she would cheat. Number 1 reason guys cheat is greed, while women cheat cos they are emotionally weak. A guy would cheat if he has everything and yet he is not getting satisfaction from the one he loves. A woman would cheat if she is not close to God or does not see value in her self(Always looking to upgrade). I remember a girl that I dated for many years and she ended up cheating, when I asked her why, she said she felt the other guy could take care of her more financially. Fast forward 5 years later, I'm amazed that she's still in a state of poverty. Personally rather than cheat, is it not easier to leave

BoyCoyToy: Boss I tell you the truth, what has been sustaining Gates is his charity.

What am trying to say is that if Bill Gates has not been giving, his worth wouldn't had been $240 instead it will be less than his present worth.

The Bible made me to understand that its not by accumulating but by giving out. Many are in the same position today because they lack the Giving Ability.

Check out people like Dangote, Gates, Adenuga, Carlos, Page, etc. They always donate. Giving is a principle that works for anybody (believers & Unbelievers, Jews & Gentiles)

You know nothing! Most of these wealthy men you've mentioned donate to charity because it can be written off on their taxes, wetin be charity, in business it's just another marketing scheme. More exposure, more opportunity to make profit. Abeg leave Bible out of it....

Jobless Nigerians, always having blood pressure over another person's matter. If Dangote called most of you to become his maid, butler or gateman you would jump at the opportunity, so spare me the crap! A maid is a maid, simple. Half of you probably wish your parents treated you as well as Tonto treats her maid/daughter

Another gender bashing thread, all is well! Male or female if everyone plays their God giving role then everything would be okay. Majority of men are afraid to get maried because they've either witnessed first hand the devastating consequences of a marriage gone sour or a narrative from frustrated couples. In Nigeria, the male is regarded as bread winner, ATM machine, the sole provider and even though it increases the man's ego, it does not help in the long run. Nigerian males must learn to live and let live, a strong woman can be tamed just as easily as a strong man, it all depends on understanding. Forget culture or traditional sentiments, nowadays the best spouse is one who has something to bring to the table. I rather marry an educated woman, who is financially smart, a hardworker and caring attitude, than marry a woman with low self esteem, confidence and a rundown attitude.

Senseless beings..... Their mama died, all hell broke loose. Because of overflowing wealth, they all lost focus on what's mostly important: FAMILY. Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa, a wife must know her role, she can't allow emotions to overwhelm her cos when things gets tough between the husband and her, it's his family she would turn to for help. Can't really blame Peter as he's only being a man, anyman would be upset in his situation. The only person that can resolve this is Paul, twins have a way of bonding with eachother, a bond no one else can understand, talk to your twin paul, talk to your elder brother also, use your mama as an example, life is too short for all these trivial issues.

Reading this thread alone makes things very clear, most people are master advisers but are yet to master their own relationships. Talking from personal experience, there is no such thing as a Mr/Miss. Right, in every relationship it takes two to make it work, if you keep an open mind and lean not only on your own understanding but wisdom from above then sooner or later everything would fall into place. Happiness comes from within, if you are not happy being single, why in the world do you think you'll ever be happy married to another human being? When looking for a partner, I ask myself 3 questions:

1: What am I bringing to the relationship?

2: What can she offer me besides the obvious?

3: Can she endure?( Everybody loves sunny days, but how many can stay through the rain?)

Sal C: Are you greater than the angels because you said so?

Bible clearly state we are lower than angels for now but will be greater than them in the world to come.

Stop bragging dear read Heb 2 concentrate on Verses 5and7

You know what our pope and rev frs know yet we don't know them right?

You guys just make me laugh

The bold statement is incorrect! Try not to read the bible word for word but look at the deeper meaning, Hebrew 2 verse 7 talks not about importance but physical attributes, the angels are majestic beings and have certain attributes humans do not have but humans were created in God's image and represents God's greatest creation. Furthermore read more about why the devil was cast out of heaven and you'll understand why humans are called God's greatest creations.
