What positive things can you say about President Obama?

every child from this point on will have to learn and remember Obama's name

every child regardless of race will be able to dream that they too could one be President

 

I learned from watching barak obama that we each have a moral responsibility to pick and choose which laws we obey.

 

Could it be that other prejudicial sources have led to that impression?

what laws would those be

many laws exist on the books that are not enforced if that is what you mean

I assume your referring to federal drugs laws not being enforced in states that want to allow Marijuana use

choosing not to enforce a law is not the same as choosing not to obey the law, otherwise every-time a cop chose to ignore a speeder or give them a warning, they would be breaking the law

adultery is a crime in many states still, though no longer enforced, many such examples, but good that Obama could teach you something

.

 

You don't get it Aces, it was Obama and the Democrats economic policies and legislation like Obama Care that stifled the economy to a stagnant malaise. They did it without a single Republican vote, sorry they own it ALL.

 

I'm not posting to argue with you; I know from experience that that is a waste of time. I'm posting to expose the truth.

I know that you will dismiss the above references as unreliable, so the following is from FOX NEWS:

He has an intact family of wife and children, not that that is unique or anything, but it's a positive.

He gave the order to go get bin Laden, but any president worth his salt would have done it, so, again, not unique.

I think he took the high road by NOT releasing pictures of bin Laden's dead body.

The controversial decision to kill Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen.

I agree with his choice not to call ISIS or AQ "Islamic" terrorists or to characterize what they do as "Islamic" terrorism. I'll leave it at that, and if anyone wants to debate that issue, I'm game.

 

We Obama was first elected, I had high hopes he would do a good job for the country and people. However as time progressed my hopes died out and I was upset on his approach on many issues.

 

I can't really say anything positive about him, but the one positive thing I can say is that he has not had any major messups, despite what many conservatives would like to think...
For the large part, in the most important areas of policy, his policies have been fairly moderate. (This despite a few more "radical" policies in certain specific decisions)

 

Yes..... I was especially disappointed by what he attempted to do in Israel.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...per-stands-alone-at-g8-summit/article4263322/

On Israel, Harper stands alone at G8 summit - The Globe and Mail

 

he's actually achieved a lot, biased history will look back very well on him, and considering how he threw away his entire first term stupidly trying to work with a kongress that only wanted his head and a partisan drunk McConnell lead of destroying the country to spite his new President, Obama has maintained the most impressive economic turnaround and recovery into boom times in world history. he should hailed for that incredible feat alone, if it had happened under a never right admin to even a fraction you'd never heard the end of it like they'd saved the world
now, just think where we'd be if President Obama's haters had bothered to lift a single poisoned finger to help this country in times of crisis after what they did under W?

 

That is certainly an interesting way of looking at it........ and for the record....... I do agree that the way he handled the increases in the budget was far wiser than what the G. O. P. was proposing!

I saw a lot of his State of the Union Address yesterday evening and wow................. he is an astonishingly good speaker!!!!!!!

What he said did help me to better understand some of his goals and intentions and ...… I have to agree with you that the fact that his opponents could not agree with him on even small issues....... would be a terrible problem.

Obama Care was really not all that different from Romney - Care.... and I am Canadian....... so they both look pretty good to me!

If......… Obama - Care had been a little less...… rabidly pro- choice....... and had given late term fetuses some more protection........ it might not have been so offensive to his opponents??!

For the record........ I should also mention that I just read an article in Time magazine from last summer about Ms. Elizabeth Warren..... and I agree with your signature that they would make an excellent team!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You don't think the Democrats had a lot to do with wthat happened under George? It was the housing industry that sunk this economy and the Democrats were deeply involved in that. That impressive turn around has filled the country with part time jobs

 

Actually it is the weakest turn around after a recession since the Great Depression but hey, why quibble over facts.

I would say Obama is probably a good family man.

He certainly golfs which a lot of people do.

He loves to spend our own money taking vacations, a lot of us spend our own money taking vacations.

He speaks well as long as he has a teleprompter.

He has defined 'leading from behind' as a new position for a President to take.

He has furthered the cause of political correctness which some really like.

 

Obama said we can’t target Nazis or carpet bomb them.

“That’s why we need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion.” (Obama, 2016, State of the Union)

“The world will look to us to help solve these problems, and our answer needs to be more than tough talk or calls to carpet bomb civilians.” (Obama, 2016, State of the Union)

Didn’t expect him to round up Christians, the side we can’t carpet bomb is doing that, I questioned whether he would be a Manchurian candidate in the war against the Islamifascists:

So the verdict is still out. Wait till he is out of office, and if ISIS still has a city, and the terrorists he releases still live to fight another day, you will know my answer.

 

I'm Canadian....... we got into WWI and WWII even before the USA did due to our close ties to England.

The USA has played a role much like an astonishingly well equipped......… well trained......… fabulously wealthy Batman sort of older brother to us Canadians..................… if America had delayed her entry into WWII by three months....... it would be amazing how many more Canadian soldiers would have died in WWII!

America has been a fabulous older brother to us Canadians and.............. allowing us to get into squabbles first....... such as in Libya........... does seem like a generally wise course of action..... although the results of that particular initiative could certainly be debated!?????!

 

Hillary convinced Obama to support the overthrow of Gaddafi with weapons from the US, which of course led to the disintegration of Libya and the use of those weapons against our own people all the while complaining that the overthrow of the dictator in Iraq led to a disaster.

 

Canada has been a great friend to the U.S. with the longest unguarded border and if I remember right when Iran over ran our embassy and took our personal captive, it was Canada who took many in that escaped and kept them there for months.

 

I had forgotten about that detail!

Thank you for reminding me!

I have been attempting to promote a public apology from Canadians like me for the way in which my ancestors had been deceived into supporting the wrong side in the American Revolutionary War!??????

http://www.politicalforum.com/polit...-how-we-behaved-during-revolutionary-war.html

We Canadians owe Americans an apology for how we behaved during Revolutionary War!



For starters I would like to thank you Americans for being led and inspired by God better than we Canadians tend to be because it was seriously cool of you to decide to NOT persecute my United Empire Loyalist ancestors!!!!

Some of my ancestors were Masons from Dixie who came to Country Harbour, Nova Scotia at the time of the American Revolution. I deeply appreciate the fact that so many Americans were closer to God than we Canadians tend to be and somehow your leaders were guided to not persecute us!

.....

Secondly I would like to express my guilt/shame over the fact that my ancestors were gullible and obviously we bought into stories regarding the cause of the American Revolutionary War that were exaggerated and in many cases outright lies!



Chapter 49 — The History of Banking Control in the United States
http://www.michaeljournal.org/plenty49.htm

 

In her defense...… I have to admit that at that time........ I also had much higher and somewhat naïve expectations as to where the Arab Spring would probably lead!

 

Its up to Iraq to change its ways not the otherway around.

 

More liberal/leftist opinion pieces, and yes Fox is fair and balanced and lets both liberal and conservatives voice their opinions that doesn't lend credence to either one. The fact is Obama had a 100% Democrat Congress his first two years to pass anything he wanted. Then majority control for the next four. The Republicans did not refuse to work with him and the Democrats and in fact passed legislation which then died in the Senate. The left complains they did not rubber stamp Obama ideas for which he never even submitted legislation.

 

Unlike you, I am realistic enough to realize that both liberal and conservative sources are biased, and readers validate them only when agreeable to their own subjective opinions. The one point of agreement almost universally shared, though, is that the monetary influence of the corporate sector has corrupted our government.

Although citizens may be inwardly puzzled and even feel that they are being exploited, class distinction brought about by "trickle-down" economics mandates that they remain silently acquiescent to the dominance of financial enslavement. I am in no way denigrating knowledge or experience, but the "American Dream" has led to what is now a predatory economic system, and all citizens must now rely upon common sense and be armed with the fundamental knowledge needed to make for themselves the final decisions regarding their own life choices. If knowledge is power, is it wise never to question its sources?

Lack of respect for government is common at this time, but the problems in government are mostly due to our own political indifference and failure to require accountability from our representatives. If there is not a majority consensus on an issue, a congressman is free to vote whichever way would benefit him or her personally. I am sure that if we all would exhibit more interest in politics and have common values and common expectations for our politicians, they would start taking their jobs more seriously, thereby earning our respect.

By putting all the blame on the President or even Congress, or both, we are denying our own accountability. Our responsibility in government does not end with casting our votes.

 

So far Obama has not launched a futile military invasion. It is his only accomplishment.

Government is an inherently evil corrupt very necessary thing. I doubt that anything we do will change that very much. Efforts to limit the harm are always a good idea.

 

The most positive thing I can say about Obama over the last 7 years is.........he's quite a natty dresser.
