In my point of view as an outsider he did absolutely nothing in his 8 years

Barack has done more in his first 2 years in office, then Bill Clinton did in 8 years.

And Obama has only been President for 5 Years so far.

 

FYI I love that our economy is above 16,000 in the Dow Jones.



He did nothing wrong in particular, aside from increasing the debt of the country. That happens when you fight terrorism globally and single handidly.

In general, he made history by being president. Bin Laden was killed under his presidency, so thats nice too.

You do know he's just as much white as he is black. So we still have yet to have a African American president.

Actually, he has reduce the deficit by half of what it was from the end of George W.

And that's outstanding with the spending he has done, which makes me question all the previous presidents.

And the Debt ceiling has only been increased 3 times under Barack Obama, while the Debt Ceiling was increased 8 times under Bill Clinton, and 17 times under Ronald Reagan.....so just imagine how many times under George W. Bush.

You guys want to blame everyone else other than Obama. But when you are the leader you are responsible for what happens.
If a company does bad you do not blame lazy employees. You blame the manager or CEO.
Is barrack more or less a manager or CEO of our country?

He has done a lot wrong, and the few good things he has tried have failed or are sputtering along.
Yes, the Dow is up, games prices are down, and I have a job. Here is one pat on the back Obama!

But we are still in both Iraq(to a degree) & Afghanistan. His affordable care act was a runaway train that is running out of track, guns, stimulus package/deficit, etc.

You guys always mention congress and other controls, yet Bush Jr. seemed to be able to do what he Damn well pleased.
What is Obama's excuse?

Too long to read. Bad out weighs good for yet another president.


President Barack Obamais not a manager nor CEO. He is only a Executive, which is why the President of a Democracy is always called the Executive of the United States, because that's how little power they highest office has.

Bush had a Republican Control Congress until 2007, and then Bush had to Veto all new stuff that Congress was passing on their own during the last 2 years of Bush's Presidency.

The way you keep talking about the position of the President of the United States of America is called Communism, but America is not a Communist Country, no matter how you wish for a Communist System in America just so the President can get passed whatever he or she (Hillary Clinton) wants to get it pass.

So please stop with this communist philosophy of how you want this country to run like for this current moment in time.

Besides, Barack has recently gotten rid of the Super-Majority vote, which means he now only needs more then 50% of the vote in any House, to get anything pass, so it's now much more easier for him to get things pass, then it use to be just a month ago.

You should just call your local Congress & Senators and demand they vote for Obama's bills, to pressure them to do so, because it works when enough people call.

Wrong, Bush raised it 7 times in 8 yrs. Obama has raised it 7 times in 5 yrs. and will probably raise it atleast 2 more times before he's gone. Clinton raised it 4 times.

Enjoy.



He basically created the template that a black president will spend more time on speeches and maintaining his image in the media rather than actually getting anything done. Personally I am torn because I am not sure if white folks will trust another colored president until after the sour taste of this one is all but forgotten and if that is truly the case it's only going to mean states or the country as a whole will miss out on potentially good statesmen out there.

What did it for me outside of seeing the utter train wreck that is Obamacare was that entirely repugnant beer summit between a police officer and a older man regarding what the president called a stupid act.

The leader of the free world
Crumbling economy
Millions unemployed
Tens of millions more on food stamps and housing assistance

Decided to have a beer summit to showcase his charm and ability to bring people together.

What the #%!? are we in? Grade school?
