The premise that he has done a horrible job pretty much betrays your bias in the original post. He hasn't been terrific, but he certainly hasn't been horrible. With the current animosity on both sides, you're not going to see the cooperation needed for any President to enact major reforms.

As for your question, since he got re-elected, the answer is emphatically no. After 4 years of Republicans using an all out, do anything to try and keep Obama from being re-elected plan (even Mitch McConnell stating it openly), he was still re-elected. Basically, America said, thanks, but no thanks Republicans, we'll stick with him.

This type of shit pisses me off so much.

Hah.  Good thing you don't work where I do.  This kind of shit goes down regularly.

I don't know about the internal stuff, as I'm not even remotely close to being an expert in USA and its internal problems, but as far as foreign policy goes, he's just such an idiot. I really can't express what a clown he is in this field. He's like a blind little kid walking around in darkness, has no clue about what's going on around him. Any single random republican would do a better job. Every single day with him in charge costs you more and more.
I mean, the way he recently got humiliated in Syria... Just painful to watch... It's gonna cost you dearly in the future to repair everything he's neglecting and messing up.


Eh, Republicans would of done the same.

Syria... he just underestimated just how doveish the American Populace had become.   I mean, Clinton could bomb the shit out of countries without even really anyone noticing.

 

Ever since Iraq though... everyones just fatigued, and looking harder and longer at ANY military actions.



It honestly has nothing to do with race, he is incompetent and doesn't know what he is doing. Hell the surveillance of not only his own countrymen but of other countries leaders should be enough to wake people up.

And LOL at how it's the Republicans fault, this Obamacare is all him and it is a disaster, so many people have lost coverage and the promise that "if you like your doctor/health care plan you can keep it, period" now means, if you are willing to pay more to keep that plan/doctor than you can keep it. Millions more lost theirs and the rest are paying more. Obama also had the majority for 2 years and got nothing done because plenty in his own party opposed his ideas.

He was an inexperienced politician with a "gift" of speaking as long as the telepromter is working and constantly stuck his foot in his mouth, "share the wealth", "typical white person" beer summit, Trayvon could be my son, etc. Bumbled Syria with the red line, Benghazi, uh uh uh, shovel ready wasn't shovel ready, closing gitmo, pulling out of the war, dozens of other broken promises. He ran a brilliant campaign, tricked a lot of stupid college kids who were naive enough to believe the promises, but didn't do much except a broken joke of a health care plan.

He's the entertainer in chief, go on Leno, dance with Ellen, go have the parties because you don't know how to run a country.

Because going to war in Syria would be such a great option, lol. It was funny seeing the Saudi's throw a hissy fit when they realized they couldn't use the US army as their private fighting force for their own purposes anymore. They were like a fat kid that just got told they're not getting to eat cake. 

That whole "chemical attack" stinks worse a false flag attack orchestrated by the Saudis worse than anything. There's no point in Assad using chemical weapons when it would just provoke the West when he was already winning the war. Total set up. 

F**k the middle east. Let them settle their own damn problems. 


As if the Saudi's mattered at all here. The chemical attack was BS, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it was really done by Isreal, Assad, Saudi Arabia, Turkey or USA. What matters is just how Putin played you, which was really humiliating. I remember Ijust couldn't stop thinking that he threw a banana Obama's way and the guy totally lost it... (So maybe the OP is actually right?) Watching Putin toying with the, allegedly, most powerful man on Earth was just that disturbing. You guys are gonna pay dearly for all the mistakes he's making.

Maybe you're right. It's sad if it's true, I'd rather believe America can still become the old America, cause it'd be much better for everyone.

Setting back 20 to 50 years is a bit of a stretch. But, unless you are an illegal immigrant, on food stamps, or have gays rights as an immportant issue to you he done little for you.

You are a brave man my friend. 



Only for people who were already racist to begin with...

Also, if George Bush didn't set white men back, then that answers your question right there. To be honest, it's a very silly question

Thank You!!!!!!

Bush made so many mistakes but he doesn't set whites back but let the black guy make mistakes and a select few feel he set black people back 20-50 years, it's hilarious. lol
