man we're all screwed. people are too brainwashed nowadays. soft tyranny at its finest. once they start the gun confiscation that has been being planned with the U.N. since the 1960's, were all seriously in trouble. that is when the soft tyranny will turn into all out dictatorship. its coming soon hence the armored vehicles and militarizing of the police. I still cant believe anyone would defend this moron (Obama). in my opinion if you defend Obama and his policies, you hate America just as much as he does. its supposed to be land of the free, home of the brave. its turned into land of the tyranny, home of the slave. god damn the television, turning people into mindless retards... just keep being entertained by things that don't matter one bit, while government seizes control of everything and turns our constitutional republic into an all out dictatorship... whats next, Obama passing an executive order lifting the limit of two terms for presidents, so he can just be our permanent dictator... honestly it wouldn't surprise me if he tried to do that.

((((((Alle))))))....I'm with BiBi too....

well, that's great,, ISrael is amazing and perfect ,,, and our relationship continues,,,,

yeah,,NOT!

..even the classist Bill Oreilly has had him on, you can bet WITHOUT a teleprompter,,,, and commented favorably on his being well spoken,,,

and others love personal attacks when they lack logical debate skills

wow bringing bill o reilly into the argument? who the hell cares what bill o reilly says, no one even watches his garbage anymore. and exactly how do you know he didn't have a teleprompter?

the same way others know that he 'only speaks well with one maybe?

being that IM not with him when he speaks, as is no one else here, I am going on 'sources',,,,

Still you can't see the Wood for the trees can you? Defending this guy is all about race to you? If he was white you'd be giving him hell to pay I bet? Your motives make you more transparent than a pane of glass!!!

what a riot

all these assumptions about race, and those who first bring it up to claim that its my hangup,,,,

,,,smh,,, unbelievable,,,

I am an individual with my own perceptions and opinions,, get used to that without making it such a big deal that I don't agree with everyone else all the time

,, I have no requirement to, I can support who I want to and I have given the reasons,,

,,,not interested in rehashing for the sake of introducing childish personal attacks and assumptions,,

msharmony, name in your opinion the best things that Obama has done for the country, last time I asked you to do that you came back just trying to argue and with nothing about good things he has done.

Psssst...
The teleprompter is generally out of view of the camera.

The ratings say the opposite.

Anyway, back to the original topic.

I did address on the first page some of the accomplishments under his presidency

,, I don't say he did them because Presidents don't personally have singular authority to do , on their own. The congress is the part of government that 'does' the most,,,,


,,,this is what I wrote on the first page:

and then perception is important, many major accomplishments being made UNDER HIS PRESIDENCY (notice I don't say 'by him' because presidents dont have singular power to effect such things)

are currently viewed as 'mistakes'

like accomplishment in healthcare with reform
accomplishment for LGBT with same sex marriage and repeal of dadt in the military
accommplishments for women with equal pay legislation
accomplishments for immigrants with immigration reform
unemployment coming back down to pre presidency rates
job gains coming back up
alternate energy sources increasing in development



and , in MY perception, he has faced opposition that is nearly unprecedented from what I have seen in my lifetime, , with congressmen actually making their mission to make sure he 'failed'
from day one, showing him disrespect FROM DAY ONE,, and on and on

I believe he has overseen AMAZING progress given the intentional obstruction he faced,,,,I believe that we were experiencing a fall into a DEEP pit very fast that under his presidency were eventually halted and reversed

I believe he reaches out internationally to make a difference, putting diplomacy first and not war,, which I personally am impressed with


,,,,,,that's long enough,,,,

Wow, you really feel Obama's foreign policy is a laughing matter?...

nope, I feel the notion that he 'destroyed' our relationship with them is ,,,

What do you base your assumption on?...

its not an assumption, its an opinion

I already covered the why

Well in that case, you're wrong again...

hmmm last time I checked his ratings were on a steady decline. I may be wrong, but im pretty sure hes nowhere near as popular as he used to be.

what can be measured, like aid and assistance etc,, has not changed, and continues to increase

what cant be measured like 'friendship' and 'loyalty' will have to remain a matter of perception to disagree upon,,,
