He's done a decent job hasn't made anything worse, cut the deficient in half, The Free Healthcare act helped my family out. Really Bush had left him with all the problems we have now and it is impossible for him to fix it in 2 terms, he did all he could given the situation Congress put him in.

I believe you mean "deficit" not deficient...

Do you know the difference between deficit and debt, or do you think they mean the same thing?

A guy has been in office for what SIX years and you blame the previous president?  Just laughable...

I'm doing much better than I ever imagined in every facet of life. Obama is okay in my book.



Lol...... no. He's about on the same level as Bush for me.

Yes is did mean deficit thanks for pointing that out, and no it's not laughable, and I wasn't blaming Bush either, I was simply pointing out that Obama wasn't the reason the depression hit. It had a long line of decisions that have been going on since Reagan that led to the depression we're in right now. You can't really blame one person for all this so instead of calling my argument "laughable" actually read it.

Absolutely. People downplay how bad it was going into his Presidency and he had a party that only cared about making a Democratic President as big a failure as Bush. They didn't want to have him have any successes and he still did. They met the night of his inauguration to plot how to make him a failure.

It really is a shame that they didnt want to do anything to help this country because the country would really be flying high had they tried to make a difference rather than make a disaster.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I voted for Jesus the last two elections because He is the only one that can fix all our issues (not even joking).

Me not being affiliated with a party and seeing how our government and the parties in power have been acting, really just solidifies my decision to absolutely hate politics. That said, God puts these people in power and I obey the law and pray for the government and our leaders. I do not think anyone will have a leader who they would rate a 100%. I just know I would never want to be President and it definitely is not an easy job.



As a person that pays very little attention to politics. Here are my thoughts.

First years were a nonfactor. Probably because he wanted another term. Now that he has no chance of getting another term he has made some drastic chances that has made his last few years bad. In the end I think he will be remembered as a very mediocre president.

Bold: It sounds like you are blaming him to me.

What does Bush have to do with Obama?  What does all of the previous presidents have to do with Obama?  I consider the presidents job to be the leader of this country and to take responsibility of its current state.  

If it is impossible to fix this country in two terms then he clearly wasn't the right president.  If you or me didn't resolve something in eight years, would you be fired from your job?  Would you consider those eight years a success?  
What has Obama done for this country?  Everything that he has touched has turned out to be complete and utter garbage.



I was on the fence, but after his effing executive order, I'm pretty angry.

His health care plan had good underlying intention, but the delivery sucked. He should have put more financial responsibility on the bathing-in-money insurance companies. Instead, he allowed them to just raise the cost of health insurance for those who already had it.



10 trillion added to the debt
pulled out of Iraq to now go back to Iraq
health care flop
his 1 trillion stimulus didn't stimulate shit
complete disaster in his stance on arab spring
fast and furious
irs targeting small conservative businesses
his war on jobs
1/3 of us population is on some form of government assistance

He's been a complete jester in his 6 years failing to deliver his promised 'change' and lacking accountability. 2 more years and good riddance, take your socialist and bill ayers radical beliefs to Europe.
