Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

The lion's share of my dislike for Obama is related to the part he played in getting Obamacare passed and signed into law. I really despise the impact it has had on my life, but fortunately there will be ways for me to not "pay up" in skipping out on health insurance.

He's fired McCrystal, who attempted to legitimately save the US Government money and help his troops, was ignored, and then was fired after he called out the bullshit on behalf of the Administration's Afghanistan Policy.
His entire policy has been, having American and NATO troops being just up armored targets that aren't allowed to engage the enemy.
He's leaving 10,000 troops there to continue being up-armored targets for the Taliban.


You're a Republican aren't you? Those 10,000 won't be there in 2016, only a REPUBLICAN would leave that out.

Obama fired McCrystal because he was doing a bad job. Only a REPUBLICAN would leave that out.

You're a REPUBLICAN, aren't you?

Nope, I'm not affiliated with any political party. So, stop calling me something I'm not. I doubt McCrystal, was doing a bad job, you know, generally considering he's one of the most effective modern commanders.

Feel like I am listening to Randy Marsh sometimes looking through NS.

No really, like, sometimes the internal voice gets narrated like his on the issues of Obama.

At best Obama is a bumbling, incompetent leader who revives most of his updates over the news apparently. Putin completely played him, his withdrawal prompted ISIS, an army two years in the making under his watch to start a civil war which is now decimating minorities in the middle east and he is not exactly reacting quick to that either. He repeatedly said the border was secure. The economic spending s been by any standards pretty fucking high, I mean it was a huge problem under the Bush administration, but now when it is worse it is apparently entirely rationalized or even irrelevant. Job numbers are still at a poor level. Median income for the poor has dropped considerably on his watch, and while he is not exactly backed up by the A-team with characters like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi being his wingmen, he still seems complacent when it comes to areas of administrative efficiency. He is entirely unable to take a strong stand in terms of symbolic gestures, and find himself sadly on vacation a lot of times when bad shit is going on, and while vacations is not a bad thing, continuing on after such news without cancelling them does not make him appear weak, it confirms it. The espionage efforts in Germany, while not his own doing, was still a huge embarrassment and one can expect he same over several other European nations, cash better spent burned.

On foreign policy issues Obama is like the reverse Midas. Everything he touches turns to shit.

Eh, I want to like Jimmy Carter. Potentially THE most humanitarian-minded president we have had in recent times.

There was however a good deal of incompetency and inconsistencies during his administration, and he did not exactly help the middle east situation. Though yeah, had he been president right now, he probably would have gotten an even worse rep.

I don't think anyone really hates Jimmy Carter as a person, but I feel like he just did not have a strong enough personality to really effectively lead a nation. Not to mention he permanently mangled any chance of nuclear power really taking hold in the USA.

How surprising.

Call me a partisan hack


Okay.


but I don't like his friends


I'm sure that the feeling would be mutual if they knew who you were.

or his background


Which part? The Midwestern bit? The raised by his grandparents part? The working his way through college thing? The devotion to community service? What?

at all or his emphasis on "social justice" whatever that is.


Justice in social issues. It's not that hard.

Why aren't his ties to Bill Ayers


Nearly nonexistent, repeatedly denied by both parties, not supported by any evidence beyond a fundraiser or two and some other community work.

and Jeremiah Wright


A member of his church. Never denied that. Elected anyway. Drop it.

ever taken seriously when these were Marxist anti American radicals?


Ayers came close, but there's no tie, Wright isn't one.

It is clear to me that he wants a more multi-polar world with less US influence over world affairs. Well, he can just go on playing golf and going to fundraisers while the rest of the rest of the world falls into chaos from the power vacuums which are forming, that the US would normally keep filled.


HE'S ACTING LIKE ANY OTHER PRESIDENT BUT I'M MAD AT HIM FOR TOTALLY NON-RACIST REASONS, I SWEAR.

I'm just going to go ahead and admit it isn't fair for me to call Obama the worst president ever when he is still a current president, but out of all the presidents in my living memory: Clinton, Bush, and Obama, I like him the least- that is just a fact like it or not and I gave my real reasons why.
