You don't get how the job works, do you?

"lol, Obama's so weak and inactive!!!!"

He gets updated every hour on vacation, he hasn't golfed the most of any president or even more than Eisenhower, he has worked on the crises, but we don't appreciate logistics and minutiae, now do we?

Personally I think Obama is a terrible president.

ObamaCare was a fail. I don't even think it should have been made. My parents are middle class citizens meaning we can make enough money to live decent lives. How is it fair that my parents money is taken to be given to other people. My dad works two jobs and works hard for his pay check. This is downright socialism. Our founding fathers made this country to create a nation that protected it's peoples rights and liberties. Not to be a tax haven that redistributes wealth.

His handling of ISIS is terrible. He needs to realize that these terrorists religion say the murder us. They are okay with dying. We need to bomb the living crap out of them. The only way to stop them is to kill them all.

His handling of the crisis in Ukraine is terrible. He needs to arm the Ukrainians. He lets Putin take and do what ever he wants and that makes Putin think of Obama as a baby that is to scared to do anything.

He wants to take your guns! We should have the right to have any weapon we want. (With the acceptation of things like rocket launchers and weapons of mass destruction :) ) The founding fathers gave us that right to protect ourselves from others.

He plays golf while Americans are being beheaded in the middle east? Just think how ignorant and careless that makes him think.
I agree that everyone deserves a vacation but he could have at least cut his playing time to 3 rounds instead of 9 :/

Over all I give Mr. Obama a 0/10 (10 being the best)

So you know nothing about US presidents? Your posts seem to indicate that. Andrew Jackson was responsible for what basically equates to genocide against Native Americans. James Buchanan was an even weaker president than Obama ever was/is, by sitting by and doing nothing to prevent the Civil War. Andrew Johnson, for being the only US president to be impeached. Warren Harding and Herbert Hoover for their mishandling of the economy. And what about George Bush Jr., starting an expensive war and signing the NSA's spying laws. Obama is not the worst president and if you think he is, you have no fucking idea what you're saying.

It's not socialism. But, if you hate taxes so much, come over to the anarchist side. We have freedom and cookies.

Google some of the things I said they are all facts, if you live in the United States you live in a corporation, I served for your rights to say what you want to say, at least say some smart things, instead you just deny it, ignorance is bliss.

Like I said the world culling is upon us and stupid people are on the top of that list.

I like how you're telling me to Google things....

No, you don't. You live in a territory claimed by an organization with a monopoly on the initiation of force, sure, but not a corporation.

You're the one here who believes Obama is a communist.

Alright I guess, I wish he was more liberal in principle and I wish he would be more willing to fight the GOP both behind closed doors over legislation and in the public sphere where he usually puts up with tea party nit wits in congress making wild accusations and other childish garbage without pushing back against them. Sometimes we on the left just need to see our politicians show some damn fight in them.

I absolutely hate him. His treatment of homosexuals is abhorrent and what he's doing in the Ukraine is-- oh you're talking about the USA. Again.

The US President has done so little on the world stage that, as a non-American, I struggle to recall who it is. Do you guys still have that black guy? I haven't heard much from him in a while.

He comes close quite often, quite close, and they are much alike in many ways which is supreme irony looking at the campaigns.

He's certainly better than the alternative.

Where I've come to really disagree with him is that he's continued, end even expanded, many of the crazy neocon strategies from the Bush era. Gitmo is a disgrace, NSA should have Americans rioting in the streets, drone-strikes is downright illegal, and now he's slowly creeping back into Iraq...

To me, he seems far less of a Democrat and more of a Republican. But then again, given how hard American politics have swung to the right over the last decade that's probably not all that surprising.

What I would really have liked him to do was to aggressively attack the Republicans over their willful obstruction of the government. Call them out on it. Let the American people know what's going on. Let the Republicans understand that there's a price to pay for what they're doing.

But sadly, given how deeply divided Americans are currently, it probably wouldn't really matter. Listening to American political debates, it seems as though party-affiliation is more important than the truth. Everything is twisted and spun in order to galvanize voters and donors.

In short, as long as American politics is so bitterly divided, and money plays such a huge part in elections, I suppose he's just about the best we could hope for.

Indecisive, weak, and milquetoast to the point of impotence. Certainly less so than Mitt Romney would have been, however.

Honestly, now that I can see where we are now, I kinda would have preferred McCain in 2008, even taking into account Palin's gaffes. Not accounting for Clinton or Edwards having won the primary instead, however.
