Commentary on Obama's 8 years in office
I'm sure this overview is incomplete, but overall the man will go down as one of the worst presidents in history. Future generations will wonder why this man won a 2nd term in office.

http://www.philly.com/philly/opinion/201...liver.html

Quote:During the Obama administration, there hasn't been a single year in which the nation's gross domestic product grew at 3 percent or higher, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. That's a first for a modern president.

Since January 2008, the U.S. population has grown by more than 20 million but the number of jobs has increased by less than 7 million, meaning despite Obama's boasting about alleged job growth, the number of jobs created has failed to keep up with population growth, normally considered a poor economic indicator.

Just for starters.

He has been a piece of sh!t and managed to turn just about everything he touched into a pillar of salt - except dividing the country. He was excellent at that, divide up the country and pit them against one another for political gain....1st rate at that.

He was presented with a golden opportunity to bring the country together and what did he do - imported Chicago politics to the rest of the country.

What a polarizing, horrible leader D-Bag.

Is it Jan 20th yet??

Nobody can't beat Grant as the worst President of the USA. Under Grant's administration, he caused a Genocide of the Native Americans. Some tribes went extinct, and some others almost went down because of the greed of the railroad barons at the time that was stealing land away from the Natives under an peace agreement with the US government.

He should have summed up Obama's eight years in soundbites so that the leftists could have understood it.


Bush's fault

Police are racist

Americans are stupid and will buy anything

Fox News is mean

Congress is mean

Russians are mean

Israel is evil

RE: Commentary on Obama's 8 years in office
All you have to do to be considered a good president is to come in office in difficult circumstances and leave office with things being better. It doesn't matter if they got better in spite of you and not because of you.

Abraham Lincoln is deified for starting a five-year war that killed 600,000+ people, because apparently that was the only way to beat a confederacy with considerably weaker military capabilities.

OBama will probably be counted as one of the better presidents for the economic gains and for what he's done on the gay issue, but he shouldn't be.

He did almost everything I hoped that he would do despite the fact that everyone was against him.

He will be one of the greatest ever.

Surely you don't believe that. Economically speaking, he was a disaster. Economics trumps everything else.

No, he does mean it. I mean, the middle east is now where they all sing kumbaya to each other due to Obama getting them to love one another.

The economy, middle east, Iran, Crimea - face it Obama is an oracle.......just ask Fit - as he says "He did everything he hoped he would do"........

Haha!!

There has not been a president in my lifetime with such disdain for his own country as Barack Obama.

Maybe ever.

Low IQ Americans like Fit will always think he did great even though the impact of his economic policies hurt and will continue to hurt the very people he campaigned for and ultimately let down.

Probably had the best scenario of any president in history to reshape things for the better and took the chump way out... kicked the can down the road for generations upon generations.

He is the saddest excuse of a leader ive ever seen.

By any fair metric he is at best a poor president.

Worst is subjective, but nobody can argue fairly that he was good.

RE: Commentary on Obama's 8 years in office
Obama has set us back 30 years. He set out to weaken America and he's accomplished that. The debt is going to kill us if interest rates ever rise. And the pernicious way he's expanded the power and scope of the federal government is unprecedented.

Thankfully, our long national nightmare is almost over.

RE: Commentary on Obama's 8 years in office
I wonder how differently his tenure would have gone had he given up or at least scaled back on Obamacare after the Kennedy seat was lost in MA. Outside of a violent revolt, what more did the people have to do to show him they did not want this? I truly believe shoving Obamacare down the throat of America in a hyper partisan manner is what caused the 2010 "shellacking"

If he had simply listened to the people the Democratic party is in a much different position than they are now.

But, Obama has been told he is the brightest light in the room for decades, and he surrounded himself with advisers that only supported that notion, making the ideologue and social-justice change agent confident that he knew better than anyone else (ever see how riled he gets when his ideas are challenged - the gall!). He has always been led to believe his path was the correct one, and unfortunately he obtained a position of power to exert his egotistical will upon a nation.

Screw him and his policies. I'd rather spit in his face than shake his hand.

Fit for some unearthly reason thinks he can, but we all know he can't really put forth a good argument.
