Is Obama a good president?[W:577]

Is Obama a good president?

Obama is the worst president I've ever seen or heard about. He's an elitist, narcissistic, incompetent, serial liar.

In his defense, he is only the worst president ever elected by anyone anywhere...
 
Obama's the second-worst president of the 21st century.
 
I chose yes, he is a good president. But not for the reasons most other people chose yes. He is a very good at giving speeches and seeming like a nice guy. That appears to be what most Americans want when they go vote for the President. So based on what people want or expect from a President, he does a pretty good job. He is a spokesperson and figurehead who smoothes everything over with his very honest-seeming and sincere-seeming comments. He seems likable enough and friendly enough and like he's intelligent.

If you were to ask me if I agree with the President's pandering to leftist ideals, I would say no. If you were to ask me do I think the policies he ends up signing into law achieve leftist ideals, I would say no. If you were to ask me if I think his policies continue most of the same general policies of the 3-4 predecessors before him, I would say yes. So in most ways he is not a good president by my standards. But my standards are unusual so I answered this super-vague question from the perspective of your ordinary ignorant voter.

not to anyone who wants America to be great. Bush loved America, I think Obama loves himself and still despises the country he thinks treated his white mother wrongly for being knocked up by an African
 
Ehhh.. Average. Nothing special, nothing great.

I think this notion that Obama "despises this country" is absurd.

I think he hates this country as it was made up when he was a boy. Since its more socialist now, the hate has waned

IOW, he's the best president in the 21st century. It's because of Bush we have a $17 trillion debt today. Unpaid for Medicare "D", Iraq war and the Bush Tax cuts.
 
One is not a valid sample size unless the population is one.

So you are saying there in only one working class American, LMFAO. I can't wait to see you back that up!

I have seen positively nothing to indicate this is actually true. There's a difference between thinking something can be better, which it always can, and "hating it."

He might be the best Kenyan President in the 21st Century.

Jimmy Carter was the worst until dumbasses elected the god damn idiot we have now

Concur fully

carter pretended to be a nice guy and was an asshole

Obama might not be quite the asshole carter was but he's even more incompetent

How do you mean, 'hates this country as it was made up when he was a boy'? It's make-up is the same now. Are you saying the President of the United States grew up hating the country?

Unless you are Oliver Stone, I have been watching his Untold History of the United States mini series today, I thought Michael Moore was crazy!

Yeah that is what I said

Wow. You figure that's happened before, that someone who grew up hating the US became President, or did Obama break new ground?

Conservatives are just race baiting. Take it for what it is.

I don't even think the "OBAMA HATES AMURRICA DURR DURR" line is race-baiting, it's simply buying into a load of horse**** that makes them feel better.

Barack Obama's father, who Pres. Obama barely knew, was somehow such a huge influence on young Obama's life that he adopted his same "anti-colonial Kenyan" ideals and somehow "hates America" because no legitimate reason whatsoever that's ever been presented.

There has been a concerted effort since Obama came into prominence among the right to paint him as an "other." HE'S NOT LIKE YOU. It's not race-baiting, it's xenophobia.

It's hackish behavior, to claim that because Obama doesn't share their ideals he "hates America," and there are legit criticisms of the guy the right would be better served spending their time on. But instead, it's ideological masturbation. And in a few years when they don't have Obama to kick around anymore, these guys are going to be lost.

The pattern is obvious. Harvard Law School, president of the Harvard Law Review, professor of Constitutional Law, ran for the House, ran for the Senate, ran for President, this guy is a radical anti-American. Not only not born in America, but his real parents were Fidel Castro and Angela Davis.
