    Plus Obama openly snubbed Netanyahu and also
    conspired to have him defeated as Prime Minister in
    Israel.

    No finer display as to how Rigged the entire Obama
    Presidency was.How he was seldom EVER taken to task
    by a corrupted Mainstream Media.

    This has got to the most inanely specious of all the reasons given so far for hating Obama.

    You hate Obama for something that did NOT do? :eek:

    Did you stop and consider the political ramifications of snubbing the Nobel Committee?

    From Obama's perspective it was a lose-lose situation so not making waves was the least objectionable option.

    You were just looking for any reason to hate him and you picked the most insubstantial thing of all.

    Nah. Actually I wasn't. He had crushed the Hill, for which we are still grateful. He had an opportunity to instill some seriousness in the world around him, but he failed. His enormous ego prevailed, and he celebrated himself. Not one other president in my life would have done something so stupid.

    For me the two worst were Obamacare and the fostering of an anti-business attitude in government. All of our wealth derives from business making it critical. The one above that is clearly positive is #4 but Obama didn't kill Bin Laden. SEAL team 6 did that. The others were neutral for me exce[t fpr 5 which I view as negative. Obama was the most destructive president in my lifetime.

    I don't "hate" anything about Obama. Wish the left would stop overusing that term.

    Attempting to socialize medicine, and putting lots of the undefined, unpredictable cost burden for doing that on the backs of beleaguered employers in the depths of one of the worse recessions in our history was laughably STUPID policy to the point of being immoral.

    Oh, and the spying on political opposition? and trying to flood the country with illegals? Immoral also.

    But folks, if you think Obama was anything other than a stooge, just a pleasant face on a huge machine, that he was some "evil in himself," I've got a bridge to sell you.

    Hate the 90% of the iceberg, not the tip.

    Oh, were you in suspended animation from 2008-2012? Must have been. Both sides heap blame on the other side's prior Administration, rationally or otherwise... going way back. It's not some special Obama victimhood, and IMO, "Bushdidit" was far more prevalent than anything against Obama to date, remains to be seen whether Bush2 or Obama will get the worst of the "that last guy f-ed it all up political maneuvering."

    If Obama hadn't taken shortcuts and used material executive orders (don't bother with citing mere quantity of EOs, most of them are BS in any administration, quality over quantity is what matters) to forward so much of his legacy, it wouldn't be so reversible. Live by the sword, die by it. The Democrats will do the exact same thing to the extent they can when they get back in control of the WH, and will blame Trump for everything wrong with the country that they then have to "fix." Business as usual in D.C., not some special "anti Obama" crusade.

    Yeah, why don't you cull out over half of those that are complete manure, and stick with those that are remotely factual. No idea why LW do this kind of "deck stacking" constantly, in the net age people see right through it, why they lose and lose. Same goes for most of the "Trump accomplishment" lists I've seen, but those are far less prevalent than what the Democrats/LW do.

    You played the (worthless) race card and discredited whatever else you typed. I have no clue since I stopped reading after your opening sentence, which I at least credit with honesty on your behalf.

    That's complete bullshit. There was plenty of hatred for FDR. The US was fiercely divided during that time period, the only glue holding it together was a world war on two fronts. Adding to that, FDR was a flip flopping waffler, using his finger in the air to test which way the political winds were blowing. He was a fraud.

    The internet has damaged this country more than any President has. It has exposed the real thoughts of Americans and opened them up to the trolling tactics of foreign governments.

    Obama and Bush are scapegoats for our own ignorance and petty hatred.

    In 2008 Shrub and Iraqi leaders finalized a comprehensive Status of Forces Agreement, which set a path for withdrawing the U.S. military presence and gradually handing the Iraqi government more responsibility for its own security. As part of the agreement, the Bush administration agreed to remove all combat troops from Iraq by the end of 2011. After Obama took over in 2009, many U.S. officials, like many in Baghdad, wanted to strike a new arrangement that would leave a residual force to help Iraq face ongoing security challenges. Both sides abandoned efforts to strike a deal in October 2011, when it became clear that the Iraqi political leaders would not accept the Obama administration’s conditions regarding legal protections for remaining U.S. soldiers. Anyone who actually believes the US withdrawing troops from Iraq could have significantly impacted the rise of ISIS might be a historical revisionist and a Faux viewer.

    No. Hillary has always been public enemy # 1. One thing the republicans like about Obama is that he beat HC in the primaries in 2008.

    A lot of republicans like at least one thing about Trump for the same reason - at least we don't have HC as president.

    Hey, you're the one being adamant and using periods to stress your belief that he was black.

    The only people that care are liberals anyway.

    Then you missed 3 of them since you said "Obama.Is.Black."

    Yes, yes, we know that all conservatives are racists, which is why liberals spend all their time attacking non-white conservatives as their favorite targets.

    That makes absolutely no sense at all. What are you rambling about? HC being a woman is irrelevant.

    Kind of a moot point any more. Most of the Obama admin's crooked dealings have already been dispatched to the dust bin of history.

    I DIDN'T hate Obama the man just his policies.

    Heck, Bill and Obama would probably be a hoot to hang with, outside of politics that is...

    What is it you hate about Obama?
    • He armed the #1 sponsor of terrorism to assist their nuclear program.
    • He divided and set races relations back by at least 50 years.
    • He destroyed healthcare but excluded himself and congress.
    • He doubled the debt to $20 Trillion!
    • He did everything to flood this nation with illegals.
    • He flooded us with terrorists and as we were attacked he belittled it with terms like "workplace violence"
    • He demonized police and got many killed, he is still getting them killed.
    • He demonized Christianity and celebrated islam.
    • He demonized whites. Even called his own grandmother a typical white person for being afraid of the 15% of the population responsible for 50% of all murders.
    • He alienated our allies and befriended our enemies.
    • He sealed his own records while telling us he was going to be transparent.
    • He used the gov as a weapon against his political enemies. The IRS audited his enemies and denied RW groups tax exemptions his LW groups got.
    • He pardoned felons.
    • He got more people on welfare and food stamps.
    • He got more people working part-time than full-time.
    • He lost out AAA credit rating.
    • He blocked the keystone gas line and caused higher gas prices.
    • He crippled small businesses with over regulations.
    • He armed cartels and got boarder control officers killed.
    • He spied on news org and the senate.
    • He spied on US citizens.
    • He spent how much funding his pals at Solyndra?
    • He spent how much funding Michelle's college buddy on the obozcare website?
    • He did nothing to help the vets during the VA massive failings.
    I had to just stop and could have kept going on and on.
