Is Obama a good president?[W:577]

Is Obama a good president?


  • Total voters
    176
So, as of today, less then 10% of those who voted here, think Obama is a good POTUS.

Well, that's encouraging.

I just hope a similar poll of GW Bush would result in the same vote totals...as I think he was roughly as crappy a POTUS as Obama is...but in somewhat different ways.

he appointed far better justices

didn't lie near as much

did not cause members of the media to get aroused

The question is "Is OBAMA a good president?" Not "was George Bush a good president?"

This forum leans right, so the results probably would not be the same. Then again, who knows.

I'd be more interested in a Reagan poll, which should result in the same vote totals, but undoubtedly will not.

1. Does that include Harriet Meyers? :lol:

2. Do WMD and the argument that Iraq was involved in 911 ring a bell?

3. Depends on which media; Fox and Rush both ended up sore-kneed from all the fellatio they performed on George and Dick.
 
Enough to understand the strawman you offer here. Maybe someday you will, too.

Sadly it wasn't a strawman. Too many of you wingers think and argue endlessly that Communism collapsed because of Reagan.

G.W. Bush was a bad president. But compared to Obama, he's just wise analyst. Obama is able well to read from teleprompter. But the president should be able to do something and know something else.
You could say so, Obama is the worst President so far, Carter too bad, but was in power for only 4 years, had less harm .

Strawman - intentionally misstating another's position so as to make it easily defeatable. You've done it twice now. Alas, you have to WANT to learn things in order to lift yourself above ignorance.

Harriet Meyers was objectively qualified but not subjectively qualified That is the same with Kagan. There were far better available choices. For example, if Obama felt a need to appoint a Jewish far left Lesbian to the Court the brilliant Pamela Karlan of Stanford was available and she had far far more actual experience in court since she has argued in front of major appellate courts many a time including the Supremes and is considered one of the finest brief writers in the USA. The difference is she is open about being Gay.



There is no evidence Bush lied about WMD. Its pretty silly to KNOW there are no WMDs and then send 100K+ people into an area only to find nothing.

Fox and Rush are a drop in the bucket compared not only to the News anchors for the MSM but many of the other shows are hard core dem slurping organs

I can't say which one was worse. Bush was pretty shady too.

I already wrote that Bush believed in what he voice of God. Obama believes that he is God. Decidе that it is better or worse.

Link? :) But seriously, how in the heck do you know what he thinks?
 
Currently I would have to say no.
 
I'm surprised you do not see it. Strange as well that you do not ask the same about Bush.

Bush said publicly that he thought God spoke to him, or something nutty like that, so I don't need to ask. Obama has never publicly stated that he thought he was God as far as I know.

Read books by Lerner "Senator Obama", about his first steps in politics.

No thanks. If he ever said such a thing there would be quotes about it and it would be easy enough to find without reading an entire novel. :roll: I don't even like Obama, but that was such a ridiculous allegation that has no evidence to back it up that I had to say something.
 
all you ever needed to know about spending is in here

2013 United States federal budget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you bother look closely, most of the money is absorbed in Military and security related expenses followed closely by SS and then Medicare.

Yes. And how does that not effect the national debt? They are trying to cut $1.7 trillion over 10 years while racking up over a trillion a year in debts? How does this make any sense? Any savings they ave had was a result of sequester which Obama railed against the entire time, overstating repeatedly that lives would be lost, etc, if sequester began. It's just pathetic!

Why not go by what the Communists leaders of the day said? They blamed their collapse on Reagan, though credit must also be given the Margaret Thatcher and Pope John PaulII.

He did pronounce on his nomination that "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal"- and people actually cheered! Hard to look back and actually read those speeches now. What were people thinking???

That's about where I stand: I don't much like the guy but the ridiculous assertions about him simply require rebuttal. Lots of rebuttal.

Well, in his defense: during the past ten years, the rise of the oceans did slow.
Obama was right

:)

I thought Republicans were saying that the Sequester was Obama's idea?

The empire collapsed because they had archaic technology at a time when rapid technological change was essential. Computers, telecommunications, and falling energy prices took down the Soviets. Saying the three Western Leaders did it is like saying Obama lowered the sea level. :roll:
