Where is President Obama's greatest weakness?

No.

Obama is the president and has been for some time now. I'm not even a republican and I can acknowledge that Obama does not have the faith of the business community, even in liberal places. This is bad for minorities who rely on low end jobs. You simply are too partisan to understand this and that's what I mean, you don't fundamentally understand what really has an effect on minorities jobs from what you perceive to.
The faith of the business community? No, the business community wants a definable future, not one that changes like the wind. Sequestration was a question for, what, 18 months?, with three or four little shows during that time. The ACA was up in the air for 3 years, again with a couple of Big Events thrown in. Even little things like the Farm Bill that usually go right through couldn't get done for the first time in decades. So many things that normally go through the budget for at least a year have been done in little pieces, 3 months here, 6 months there. Business can't make accurate predictions with Washington floundering around like that. Good or bad or indifferent, decisions need to be made that are going to stick so that business can react to them and move one. This wishy-washy, wallowing around that DC has been doing for 3 years is not good for business and never has been. Couple that with the worst economic disaster since the 1930's and you've got a continuing mess.
 
His signature legislative effort: healthcare. The economy won't necessarily stick to him as it had started before his Presidency, and while the deficit became a serious issue for the midterms in the previous term, it wasn't as damaging as the healthcare discussion. His chief legislative effort, will perhaps ultimately be a key, if not the component to his short-term and mid-term legacy. If it continues to have problems down the road in terms of public acceptance, implementation, and effects, then this will potentially harm his legacy the most. This was where he put most of his political capital during the first term.
 
His greatest weakness is the existence of the senate.

As well as Congress and the Supreme Court.

Really, the man ought to be King. Just not here in the US.

Your gay/lib type of a response might as well be: the greatest weakness of Owebummer is "the majority of America's populace".IOW, Obummer is the Messiah and the democratically chosen people who represent us are wrong when the they think Obumster is a turd.
 
As well as Congress and the Supreme Court.

Your obvious sarcasm is noted, and appreciated.
 
At least Boehner will give a reason...unlike Reid, who just ****cans bills he doesn't want anyone to vote on.

In any case, I didn't say that Obama SHOULD demand that something he wants gets done. I said just the opposite, in fact

Reading comprehension a problem for you?

Sounds like it is.
 
Why? There should be absolutely zero motivation for the MSNBC faithful to view other sources. You're immune to the truth, after all.

Certainly gives that impression.
 
I think it's his ineffectiveness in working with the republican congress. I can't honestly say its his fault fully however. There is an extremely influential conservative media corps who set the ideological stance of the grass roots republican voter constituency. They've defined cooperating with the president in any way, including in areas that are traditionally conservative issues and/or issues that have been previously advanced by conservatives, as complicity with advancing Marxism/communism/socialism/terrorism/anti-Americanism. Little to no cooperation with the GOP congress has been Obama's Achilles Heel that I trace back to the power of talk radio, Fox News and conservative bloggers.

At the same time Newton's Law says every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Although the right-wing media can honestly claim bragging rights for slamming the breaks on the president's ability to get everything he wants done, at least not easily or enjoyably, much of their MO that includes a lot of unfair demonization and outright dishonesty obvious to almost everybody not blinded by their partisan passions has destroyed their credibility with almost everyone who not a right-wing hack. I think the right-wing media's ability to attract new converts to conservatism and by extension the republican's party's ability to reach new people is gone for a long time. They'll be able to keep their base worked up and angry but I can't see the GOP growing outside those already in the camp, which equates to keeping the country politically polarized decreasing over time as the base dies off, which will be sooner rather than later since the GOP base is made up of a significant percenge of older Americans.

Your Gay/Lib bias and agenda is patently obvious.
 
What would you know about motivation? "I" want to hear everyone's views on the issues, so that I can make my own decisions...MSNBC "is" my station of choice and I do feel that I am getting the facts---but I check the other stations to verify those facts....MSNBC has progressive views to be sure, but as I am a progressive liberal, I can understand the spin.....

Progressive Liberals illogical and bogus opinions have OBVIOUS negative credulity.
 
Obama's biggest weakness is leadership. He's no Bill Clinton, a president who manages to set the agenda. Obama gets an F on that. But, he gets an A+ for keeping the country together when he could have divided the USA not too unlike Egypt is today.

Obummer's biggest weakness is that he is a Stealth Commie Racist. He doesn't get any grade other than an F as the President of America.

Obummer is the worst President in US History. Hopefully America will never experience anyone like the Obumster.
 
The president's greatest weakness is that he is and governs as a centrist.

Did I mention that it is also his greatest strength?:lamo:2wave:
 
lack of leadership ability
 
Your Gay/Lib bias and agenda is patently obvious.

Hmmm. How so? I'm just read over the quote you cited and and don't see anything in it indicating even a hint of a bias on that issue in either direction. Just curious how that is sending a gay/lib bias if you don't mind me asking.

Obviously all you can do is parrot what you heard somewhere because what you just wrote proves you can't think for yourself.

I am "parroting" primarily Owebumster's own book: "Dreams from my Father". Check it out for yourself.

As to my other comments they are ALL FACTS substantiated in even the LIB media.....like Obumster's TWENTY YEAR TENURE in the Cathedral of Hate run by the Black Racist Whackjob Jeremiah "Goddamn America" Wright, Holder's tirade on national TV excoriating America for being "COWARDS" re blacks.....yet condoning Black Panthers with CLUBS intimidating voters at an Election Location. Like Obumster being bosom buddies with Bill Avery, the Unrepentant, Homicidal, and Maniacal Commie/Terrorist from them being colleagues at the Criminal Enterprise ACORN. This Avery, who, on National TV proclaimed that he "was sorry he wasn't more effective in his bombings". And, further proof that this idol of your Obumster is a turd is that Obummer kicked off his Senatorial Career from his everyday buddy, Bill Avery's house.......this and much more is PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE !!! WAKE UP !!!

Where did you read all that crap---the drudge report?
 
Where did you read all that crap---the drudge report?

What you call CRAP is what your idol Owebummer wrote in his own book: "Dreams from my Father"......interestiing that you would call your idol Obumster's own words CRAP , LOL !!!!

Next, apparently you don't read newspapers, or listen to your own LIB media outlets !!!

All the info regarding Obumster's TWENTY YEAR TENURE in the Black Racist Whackjob's Jeremia "Goddamn America" Wright's Cathedral of Hate has been REPEATEDLY anounced in all the media outlets......so has the rest of the info I posted.

Time to become aware of what's happening....... in at least America.

1. Ah a fan of Dinesh. I see. Because, it's quite clear you never read the book. If you did you'd know the context of Obama's words, words from which Dinesh created his farce. For one, Obama was raised by white people--he didn't even know his father.

2. Newspapers? How old are you--70?

3. What Wright said was not racist, and in context, what he said was actually quite accurate. Wright is a former Marine who worked directly with a former President. He has a right to his opinion, which, as stated, was not inaccurate.

4. Irony much

1. Heard of Dinesh AFTER I read Owebumster's CRAP, as Juanita basically, inadvertently, stated, in his "Dreams from my Father". So what is apparently "clear" to you has the same credulity as the rest of the gay/lib bovinepoop.

Never stated that Owebumster wasn't raised in his home consisting of "white people": his crazed off-the-wall Commie RACIST Mother, who, according to Obumster's book constantly inculcated him with her avowed hatred of her own race. He was also raised by his Grandmother, a bank exec who seemed the only sentient one in that bizarre family. Obummer was also raised by his fanatical card carrying Commie Grandfather (mother's side), who, using his Commie Connections got him the notorious Commie Poet of that time, Frank Marshall Davis, as his mentor.....in the book Obumster referrs to him as simply "FRANK". In numerous articles, it is revealed and acknowledged that this "FRANK" was Frank Marshall Davis who was also a pornographer of some note.

2. 70 years old ?!?!? Apparently you have trouble with numbers. Most, if not all, of the facts I stated about the Obumster occurred within the last twenty years. Of course, reading Obummer's book "Dreams from my Father" within the last ten years ago, does not mean, ipso facto, that I was there when this National Disaster attended High School, was mentored by that Commie Turd Frank Marshall Davis, etc. One would think that you could have figured that out. If you happen to be a gay/lib ..... most, if not all, gay/libs have very little reasoning power to speak of. And, probably couldn't figure out that obvious REALITY.

3. Yes, that Black Racist Whackjob Jeremiah "Goddamn America" Wright was a marine. And, as such, nicely and safely esconced as a hospital orderly. Thus, Wright might have been in the hospital changing chamber pots where the President was staying. Of course, everyone has the freedom of speech in America. But this turd is RESPONSIBLE for what he spews out. And your hero Obumster had a TWENTY YEAR TENURE in that Cathedral of Hate.

As to the accuracy of the Black Racist Whackjob Jeremiah "Goddamn America" Wright's NUMEROUS statements, there is this turd's bosom buddy friendship with the most notorious anti-semite and anti-"cracker" in US History Black Racist Psycho Louis Farrakhan to further UNDERLINE Wright's psychotic nature....BOTH of these whackjobs, together, went to Libya, at the time of America's Armed Conflict....to applaud Ghaddafi's actions, and the other FACTS stated by me in my post ? ALLL that has been WIDELY reported on National Media. "IF" you wish to ignore or pretend to NOT know what is commonly known then, I suggest, that appearing ignorant AND stupid is not a recommended way to go.

4. IRONY ?!?!? You betchum.

1. Dude wrote a book that a lot of fools bought. Later, he mumbled some nonsense during his campaign that a lot more fools also bought. After being elected, he's governed the country pretty much like everyone else before him--from the center. If you're still putting stock in what he wrote and not paying attention to how he governs...your problem.

2. I was referring to your reference to reading "newspapers". Who in this day and age reads a newspaper?

3. Palling around with Lois Fairycon aside, Wright was not wrong to condemn the actions of America in regards to how it has historically treated it's people of color.

All of which you have said is conservative spin...If I recall, you didn't read the book, your friend did? Rev Wright is a well respected member of the clergy and a veteran......you have no idea of what you are talking about--you are only repeating Republican lies and spin.......
 
Liberals are encouraged to reply ;)

I would go with healthcare but mainly because I don't understand how it's going to work.

Overall I think he's pretty strong as a leader.
