What do you guys think about him? How he's doing, what he's done so far, his personality, where the US is headed now that he's in charge, whatever you want to say about the guy. Also, say what country you are posting from, so we can get a better idea of his standing on the global stage.
Not intending to spark a huge debate, I just want to know what what the people's overall opinion of him is at this point.
I'll go.
I think thanks for the decisions made by him and his staff, we have a global economical system. The fact that we can complain on unemployment, and the rise of prices, the fact that it is still there is thanks to his world wide bail outs.
He knew he had to force universal healthcare thru because if a conservative has any inclination of helping another person, it is for profit - it has to benefit them in some way. Companies in America use morals as a means of market potential for their product or service. They aren't going to spend money on someone else. That doesn't make sense to them. So he had to force it, and I think he pulled it off. I was the lucky one that fell on the side that thinks every human being should have health care. I think it is a right. And if it isn't there, it would be good to work so that health care would be a right. But we all know what about the sustainability? Especially with illegals! If we have millions upon millions of people trying to live in America, and every single person has a right to medical coverage, that just isn't sustainable. I think Obama should of done a step further and put a huge ass wall with barbed wire across the southern border. If you want to be a citizen of the United States, then you should go about doing it legally. The reforms he did on immigration - albeit showing the muscle of current interpretation of constitutional law - was spot on. For some reason a guy in Washington had a brilliant idea that if they got their degree in the United States, we should deport them! He changed that, which is good. But seriously, how is that even there in the first place?
I think Americans have secured ourselves in a war with Islamic extremists. I think how we are operating with ISIS is what we are going to have to do for the duration of our empire. So I think what he is doing is the common sense approach, which is to use the resources that he has as President to fight the ISIS threat with using minimal resources. Plus, Congress has to sign on war, not The President.
I thought ebola was contained well. It seems that humanity might have stopped that epidemic from spreading.
I'm trying to remember other issues during his presidency, but I must admit I am on the reefer. My memory sucks and I can't really remember other issues.
In all, I think he was a successful president. I think he did his job. I'm sure with hindsight we could all find out what we would of done differently, but hindsight is always better than foresight.
