Here is an interesting commentary that outlnes, and ridicules, the often contradictory media narratives and attacks made against the President. You can only hope that the American people will begin to see how they are being manipulated by the corporate media. If you are right wing, you should not vote for him because he is a big government socialist. If you are liberal, you should not vote for him because he is no different than George Bush or any other Republican.
There is a reason why Fox News often features someone from the "left" so long as they are willing to attach the President or other Democrats from the left. Remember Democrats Bart Stupak and Dennis Kucinich given a lot of air time to attack health care reform for entirely different reasons?

Barack Obama has had a tough time as president, taking over as head of state and commander-in-chief at possibly one of the worst moments in American history, where a confluence of events presented him with soaring unemployment, a tanking economy, a foreign policy that was either nonexistent or extremely suspect around the world, two unpopular and expensive wars, budgetary and national debt problems, and an electorate suspicious of its lawmakers and bestowing low favorability ratings across the board. But it appears that everything that he has done so far has taken the country in the wrong direction.

Then there was the health care reform legislation that President Obama helped push through a reluctant Congress in order to help the present and future well-being of over 45 million uninsured Americans, not to mention revamp some of the Medicare program and restructure the way pharmaceuticals were purchased in order to assist the aged. But instead of helping insure Americans, all the president did was lay the groundwork for government overreach, over-spending, and socialism.
And that's not all. When the BP oil spill occurred, it was generally seen as a poor response moment for the Obama administration. As hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil pumped its way into the Gulf of Mexico, the president called meetings but seemed to do little to combat the problem. And when he talked with BP oil officials and set up a $20 billion claims fund, he was accused by some of extorting the oil companies.

Even with the recent Osama bin Laden killing, some are saying he should not have killed at all. Some are saying he was unarmed and the killing was unjustified. Some are saying he may not have been killed (citing the Obama administration decision not to release the death photos) and charge that proof is needed that the story isn't an elaborate hoax to draw attention away from the controversy over Obama's birth certificate, which many say should have been dealt with sooner (because 2008 wasn't soon enough).
