I dunno, does the monsanto protection act, extending the patriot act, using drones, etc count as being good?

This is the problem with everything. "Could be worse"

No, could be better! We try so hard to be soft on politicians that are of our party but why? They are all people. They make mistakes, sure. But how long until "could be worse" can no longer be said? How long until it gets so bad that things have to change? The two party political system is so messed up. Things need to change. Until they do, we won't get anywhere.

Not by a long shot.

He's barely done anything during his presidency (though we can more blame what could possibly be the worst Congress in US history), and the few things he's done have either so little value, or are just continuations of things that Bush started. The NSA spying programs are unconstitutional, the drone strikes have done considerably more harm than good, and he's a rather weak speaker when in office, leading to him caving in or not making even a dent in certain issues. He promised us change and hope and we've been given more of the same, and we've lost pretty much all hope.

50 years from now, the only thing he would be remembered for (besides being the first black president) is Obamacare. And even that can very likely be dismantled once he leaves office.

For the election, I sat there thinking, "Are we really picking between the better of two turds?" Romeny and Obama were just no. Why the country has to choose only Democrat or Republican without giving anyone else a chance, I'll never know.

I am the absolutely wrong person to ask if you want a complete honest-to-heart answer from me. ;)

However, I'd say this: he is more often than not a double edged sword, and a charismatic one at that. It could be far worse, theoretically and knowingly, but that's always what is answered to these types of questions. In the end, I wouldn't really say he's 'bad', but 'good'? How can I say that, about any president? They're human, which makes for a load of good and bad, sometimes more of one of those things than the other.

No. He has failed many promises, won't release Rezko related things, voted against protecting a baby whom survived abortion 3 times, had marxist mentors when he was young, studied communism, Grandma says he was born in Kenya, no records of him chaning his name from Barry Soetoro back to Barack Obama.

Than we have this.

Considering he also kneeled to foreign emperors, which no other president has done.

Couldn't people have voted for the other parties many people don't pay attention to?
Anyway, though I did not like Romney or Paul Ryan, I have to say that Paul Ryan is hot. Have you seen his shirtless pics? Fine.

That'd be nice but not enough people do.

A democrat is elected. They show their true colors, people get pissed off and elect a republican.
The republican shows their true colors, people get pissed off and elect a democrat.
Rinse and repeat. That is part of why the US sucks so much right now.

They worry more about satisfying the party rather than the people. It's like they are feeding the machine that will destroy us. Maybe using the word destroy is a bit too strong, maybe not. The two party system is trash.

I don't believe that many of his programs have proved beneficial. And there is the fact that certain executive programs he's carried out are definitely unconstitutional. Our foreign policy is also very schizophrenic. I'm not sure how loyal we are to our allies these days, negotiating with countries we previously would not deal with. And then he wanted to authorize military action against Libya after the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan went so smoothly.

Of course, it's not like Congress doesn't deserve some of the blame here. Honestly, the only branch of the federal government I have an ounce of respect for is the judicial branch right now.

I have mixed thoughts about him. Being that I had to get health insurance to avoid fines that will be around next year, I am not happy about spending 500 dollars a month just on health insurance. 1/4 of my earnings goes towards my health insurance coverage. Then I get blasted with the tax increases. No it's not all his fault, but damn, health insurance needs to be more affordable.

See 1:35-4:05, though I would suggest you watch the whole video.

There are several other parties in the US. We even have a Communist party. But the video explains why it's always between two parties alone.

(Ill do my best at this)

Personally, I don't think he's done anything that has really benefited the country. I mean Obama-Care (idk if that's the real name or proper spelling.) is probably going to fall flat on it's ass. Not to mention how many vacations he takes in year and his speeches are repetitive.


I find that Michelle is worse than he is. She's a hypocrite, telling America it needs to lose weight, then ordering the most fatting steak ever. Also starving children in public schools while her daughters get more food then a king would.

I said this before, but my dad despises the hell out of Obama. I don't think I know enough to form a strong opinion, but from what I've seen, no.

Obama only tells people what they want to hear. He doesn't make any effort to actually make this country better.
