Obviously, you ignored all of his failures that I pointed out in other posts, and another big one is that he is incapable of bringing both sides of the aisle together to get anything accomplished. So in addition to all of the other things I mentioned, he is also incredibly divisive. I don't remember ever seeing this country so divided.

A black in charge will do that. :roll:

The right was stacking the deck against him before he even took office. After all, he is a Kenyan with a funny name and a birth certificate from Hawaii.

Blaming the divisiveness on Obama is pretty lame. Evidence shows the "Party of No" was behind that effort.

Well. Lots of things sometimes appear to be what they are not.

NOBODY on this board -- NOBODY -- brings up Obama's race more than you do.

His race, of course, is entirely irrelevant to his performance as President and criticism thereof.

Except of course when people start out by saying he would not be president if he was not Black. I guess in your mind, those arguments are exempt. :roll:

That's the thing ... the devil had to hide ... devils do that a lot ... so Americans would be willing to stick with the status quo.
There's no other reason for the BS lies about Benghazi and Obamacare and the IRS and the NSA and Syria.
Can you think of one?
It's pretty much settled that he had to lie to get re-elected.
There's really no point denying it, clam.
A Centrist wouldn't deny it.

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

I do know that Obama could easily have been defeated by a moderate Republican who was genuine.

I appreciate the candor but you really should know ... being a Centrist and all.

Tell me ... is it a Centrist tenet
  1. to reject the notion that Obama lied his ass off
  2. to simply reject the notion that he lied his ass off for political self preservation
  3. to be simply unaware he lied his ass off
But really, any one of 'em looks really bad for whoever actually says they believe it.

How about you demonstrate some of Obama's lies for me? You know, provide a lie and prove that it was one.

BTW: Centrist is not my definition; it's where I test out on those political quizzes.
 
When, within a month of Obama's presidency, RW spokesman and Republican party mascot, Rush Limbaugh, goes on the air and says he hopes Obama fails, I'm not surprised to see the Righties on this board all say Obama's presidency failed.

If wishes came true, all liberals would find themselves in a cornfield someplace.

Well, consider answering this ... do you hope Bashar al-Assad to fail?

Uh...He's not the president of the US.

If Romney had won, I certainly would not have hoped that he "failed".

I already did ... and you said you didn't know what I was talking about.
But I bet you do, you sneaky little vixen.

Conservatives have been falsely labeling anyone Left of Sean Hannity as a Liberal for so long, I doubt they would recognize a real liberal if one bit them in the ass.

No. I would never hope an American President "fails". What the hell is wrong with you people?

Putting party/ideology before country is despicable.

Do you hope Assad fails?
Why is it so difficult for you to answer?
Not a good sign.
Kinda revealing.

You ranted incoherently. How about some facts supported by credible sources?

What does Assad have to do with our discussion of US presidents?

Can't lay that all in Obama's lap, but I do agree he rides the hyperpartisan divide solely for political advantage/excuse making

... evasive, aintcha.
Most people ... even Centrists ... could easily answer it ... you must be justifiably suspicious of where it would lead

Lie Of The Year ... you could say 3 years, actually.
Why do you pretend this is the 1st time anyone's telling you?

No one has shown an outright Obama lie and backed it up with irrefutable facts.

Assad is not part of the conversation. So, I'm not sure what you are asking. Do I want Assad to drop dead of a horrible disease or catch a bullet in the groin? Sure. The sooner the better. But, what's your point?

I don't completely disagree with this assertion. But, when you have a hyperpartisan congress that can't get it's ass off dead-center, it is a legitimate excuse for the executive branch to use and point at it to say, "Lookie there."

... what would you accept as an irrefutable fact the he lied about keeping your healthcare plan?
... before you say he didn't lie about keeping your healthcare plan, be mindful that your credibility is on the line and that "Centrist" thing of yours will go poof if you try to run that failed jive we all can see you're poised to run.
