On some things he's been good, on some things he's been OK, on some things he's been terrible.

Always refreshing to see an honest answer.

Obama is a mediocre president with a mediocre track record. He would have lost in '12 if the GOP hadn't tripped all over itself throughout the primary season tearing down Mittens in the process. In fact, Obama had about as rotten a year before winning reelection as George Bush Jr, who also only won because the opposition candidate was a terrible choice that no one really liked.

Actually Obama was only re-elected because the first harmful mandates of Obama took place after the 2012 election, not before. Most did not realize how much hurt was on the way.

Stopping to ask for directions must be a complicated procedure for you. Like, when someone tells you to turn left at the gas station, how do you know they're not advising you to be more socialist?

I prefer patronizing gas stations that I can only get into by turning right.:lol:

Good morning, Pero. :2wave:

Why is it that the Dems have such an interest in healthcare insurance? Hillary tried, and withdrew due the backlash that followed from her own party; JFK thought about it; and with Obama it took bribes and threats and secret meetings behind closed doors to get it passed - with not one Republican vote! Is it that control of one-sixth of our economy is too enticing not to make the attempt?

I don't know pol, perhaps it is some think government is the solution to all problems while others think government is the problem.

Yes, this was all part of his "hope and change" bullcrap. :roll: Who would think he would be one of the MOST divisive presidents in recent history?

Orwell wrote about how this kind of politician was the most dangerous, because they can do so much more damage under the guise of "helping". I think if Bush had done all of this crap Obama is doing liberals would be screaming that it was the end of days.

Unfortunately a president does have influence over gas prices. For instance, Obama holding up the Keystone Pipeline.

I wonder why he's not called out on this more. His policies have kept prices elevated which impacts nearly every sector of the economy, and hits the poor the hardest.

I thought it was because the media shield him and his lies, and anyone criticizing him is automatically called a racist and their character attacked. ;)

Agreed, and in addition the never ending scandals didn't really come out until after the election. The American people were jipped.
 
Nope. He has been the absolute worst president in US history. Worse than Grant, Worse than Carter, Worse than FDR and worse than whats-his-name who took ill inauguration and died within weeks.

The idea that Obama is the worst president in US history is insane.

Worse than Pierce?

Aaaaaah, I know what you're thinking... "Who's that?"

Agreed. It shows a lack of historical knowledge and a lack of objectivity.

true, he still has more than 2 years to go

and I doubt he will be as incompetent as Harding, as corrupt as US Grant's administration or rape the constitution as much as Wilson or FDR.

I have a lack of historical knowledge of past presidents. I really wouldn't know who the worst president was. If I consider the most forceful and successful liberal in history I would have to go with Woodrow Wilson or Franklin D Roosevelt. Obama probably wouldn't even be close to third place.

The worst is kindly vague. Many presidents were only elected one term. That puts Obama ahead of Jimmy Carter and George H Bush. Some presidents were so bad that they were assassinated. That puts Obama ahead of 4 presidents in that respect. Two presidents were impeached for inappropriate behavior. That still keeps Obama away from the bottom. One president resigned while in office. Obama doesn't strike me as a quitter. Again, I can't put him in last place. The likelihood of the worst president being the current president is highly unlikely.

I would need some more insight to determine Obama as the worst president. I would also need at least 5 runners up just to make it a fair analysis.

He and Carter are both fighting for the title of worst in my lifetime though some of the problems LBJ foisted on us have been horrendous
 
Obama has certainly not been a great President.
But when forced to choose between good or not good, I'd have to choose good.
If Obama had been white instead of half white, and all the fanatics had not opposed him at every turn, it is possible he might of been a great President.
But we'll never know.
In any event, most of his failings are due to his opposition, rather than his individual merit.

Its like you are half-invested in the fail of liberalism. Its Obama, always has been, and weve known this for years.
