Any president we have will be a liar. Any president we have will keep things from us. Any president we have will also himself/ herself not know a bunch of things. The president of the united states is supposedly the most powerful person in the world, and that is very true in certain respects. Yet, he/ she will always be in the dark about a number of things. Even George H.W. Bush claimed that there were things he wanted to know as president, but was denied that information. The entire system is a joke. Sadly, too many people see it as natural/ unavoidable/ or don't care enough for things to change. I don't think Obama is a bad president. I think that he is a puppet though. They all will be. So i personally can't necessarily make a judgment about their actions and decisions as presidents when many of those actions and decisions are not entirely their own. Politics is a very shady business.
No one is being pushed around. Read the news articles about what the CIA just said about Iran's nuclear program. Iran is building nuclear weapons and facilities that support them, no matter what the United States or Israel says. With Obama's approval, the US will be able to check on their nuclear program. Basically overnighting the operation. Israel is unhappy because like usual, they are the nation that will have to bomb Iran if they go beyond the nuclear limits. The irony of the United States telling other nations to not build nuclear weapons, while they are the only nation in the world to ever use them against another nation.
