Obama is the most incompetent and most polarizing president in American history!

That is true, BestViewedWithCable.

I honestly believe Barack Obama is a good person.

He was too indoctrinated in the socialist theology at a very early age and now he must be retrained to think correctly if he is to become successful and get our economy back on track.

"Socialists cry "Power to the people", and raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they really mean — power over people, power to the State."

-- Margaret Thatcher

Socialism is great if you are willing to accept a much reduced standard of living and an oppressive central government who is always telling you what to do and how to live your life to the benefit of the state!

Cuba, North Korea and the old Soviet Union and East Germany are four perfect examples!

 

Sure I'd love to watch a Raider Game with him or have him represent me in court ,but be my President ,no thanx .

 

With that logic, the more enemies I have the more competent I am. While I agree that Lincoln is probably the most polarizing president, but even being in that league - I mean a four year long civil war! - is kind of, well, special.

No, the job of the president is to lead. In order to lead one must set goals, strategies and then bring the people on board with those goals. The president's true job is to convince the people of the need for those objectives and demonstrate why the strategy is important.

Owebama, instead, has foundered from one crisis to another like a drunken lummox, ignored the core issues and played band aid for political optics. Where he has made major decisions it has been heavy handed, insensitive and irresponsible. I mean, for Christ's sake passing a bill of the magnitude of Owebamacaeless without having freakin' even read it!

That's not leadership. That's arrogance. I have left over food in my refrigerator that can lead better than that.

 

You are very correct, FearandLoathing.

These words especailly ring true!

This sentiment is typically expressed by people who were not around in 1959. This was not a good time in America. Little of the 1950's was.

 

I agree!

Back then the economy was growing very rapidly and the 1957 Chevrolet was still the most beautiful car in the world.

Then the Democrats came along and got us heavily involved to the Vietnam War.

I have disliked the Democrats every since they did that to us.

 

We endured three recessions during the Eisenhower administration. The Soviets beat us into space with both Sputnik and Yuri Gagarain, making us look (and feel) like a second-rate power. Society was plagued by Jim Crow and Joe McCarthy. Women were expected to have babies and then serve as homemakers while trying to help hubby climb the corporate ladder. People who remember the 1950's fondly didn't experience much of them.

And you couldn't show Elvis's wicked wiggling hips on TV.

Vietnam was inherited from Eisenhower. It was he who made the US commitments there.

Well, good thing a fellow like "Tricky Dick" Nixon came along with his "secret plan" to end the war. It was so secret, even he didn't know what it was. The war lasted longer than the Nixon adminstration did. Both ended badly, of course. But Republcans have such a long history of screwing everything up that no one was really too surprised.

 

WTF are you talking about?

Obama has not stumbled into or through any crisis. Any crisis he had was given him.

Obamacare was passed, no crisis.

Stimulus bill passed, no crisis.

Gulf of Mexico well, plugged, no crisis.

Continuous job creation and growth, latest figure are more encouraging than ever. No crisis.

Osama Bin Laden dead.

Gaddafy dead.

Iraq over.


Really you guys are just telling little tales.

 

You are very mistaken, creation.

Obama's miserable record ...

• Record debt.
• Record deficit.
• Record spending.
• Record foreclosures.
• Record food stamp recipients.
• Rammed through ObamaCare against the will of the people.
• Continues the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and added Libya and Africa conflicts.
• Extended the patriot Act, not once, not twice, but three times.
• Continues operation of Guantanamo bay prison.
• 25 year high unemployment.
• Solyndra scandal.
• "Fast and Furious" gun-walker scandal.
• Nominated two incompetent inexperienced anti-2nd Amendment supreme court justices.
• Worked with Eric Geithner to unnecessarily prolong the homeowner mortgage foreclosure crisis.
• Pushed job killing EPA regulations.

 

You are very correct, darckriver,

If Barack Obama had his way, the government would own all the private residencies in the country and decide who among us could live in them and who could not!

Of course all the mansions would go to his cronies in the government and the people he knew when he worked in Chicago as a "community organizer"!

 

Obama was a full voting member of the Democrat controlled congress that has created this mess we are in, he didn't just waltz into town in 2010. Bush and the Republicans gave us three years of declining deficits, down to $161 billion and 52 months of full employment. Then the Democrats got control of Congress and look what happened.

It's failing, it's costing more than predicted and report out today that over 30% of employers are going to drop their private coverage and those people will come under government care we cannot afford.

Almost a trillion down the drain and unemployment at a crisis still.

No thanks to Obama and his compensation scheme a major boondoggle.

Continuous new jobless claims over 400,000 for almost three years, unemployment over 9% for almost 3 years. GDP below 2% first two quarters, less than 1% first quarter and estimated to be under 2% for all of next year.

Crisis.

Thanks to the military.

Thanks to NATO and the Rebels.

Thanks to Bush and then blown by Obama.

If tales are facts.....yes.

 

Holy Smokes, that is some Kool-Aid you're drinking!

Not one word of that is anywhere near accurate. Right up there with "I never had sex with that woman".

 

Dems got control of congress in 2006, financial crash occurred in 2008. They didnt have the time to create any crash.
Nor was Obama leading any majority in congress. In fact Bush was in charge and republicans had been in charge for right up to 2006.

Heresay. It doesnt matter if it costs a bit more than expected. The original predictions are only that, predictions. Americans are covered. Employers havent dropped anything.

In any case, employer provided coverage is an unnecessary burden that we in the UK dont provide.

Unemployment isnt at a crisis. Its been stable for some time now. A crisis would be increasing unemployment.

A crisis would be no job creation.

Compensation paid by BP. The gulf returning to safety. Its not even on the news and hasnt been ever since.

Job creation continuing, even your Lou Dobbs and O'Reilly have admitted the news is good. GDP positive in every quarter you mention. A negative would be a crisis.

No crisis.

And the commander in chief of the military.

And the commander in chief of the US military.

Leaving soon isnt blown. Its a success after the Bush chaos.

You couldnt even give credit for OBL, which youd happily have given for Bush. So yes youre a tale teller.

Obama will win the next election against any republican you can put up. Even republicans dont like them.

 

Something wrong with any of it?

Go on prove yourself discredited. Tell us Obama cant be given credit for OBL cos he was only commander in chief. Thatll really bury you.

 

Why does a European go to the trouble of defending Obama? He's the guy who keeps Gitmo open. He's the guy who reactivated extraordinary renditions.

He's the guy who escalated the war in Afghanistan twice. He's the man who uses drones to kill sleeping civilians. What's gotten into you?

 

Im not really against those things, I never was.

We in europe, may be more lefty than many americans, but it doesnt mean we dont like to see our enemies captured or dead.

Obama may have wanted to close gitmo, but the opposition was too much given the otther things on his agenda. We dont blame a guy if his heart is in the right place.

 

Thanks for your honesty. Yet I am compelled to conclude that an American conservative will never be deemed by the Euro left to have his heart in the right place.

 

I take your point, but really its simple history rather than innate european bias to the lefties.

Bill Clinton treated these terrorists as criminals and dealt with the matter as such.

Bush took a different view.

Obama is so far unable to reverse the situation, though theres little reason to think he has actually changed his mind on the matter.

 

Exactly , great post . I swear this people think the American people are total

idiots . Has Obama been the best President no , with all the (*)(*)(*)(*) going on I think

Obama has done a good job. 100% better then boosh

 

You are very mistaken, plant.

I have learned most liberals are very much children at heart.

They want the government to give them everything like their parents did when they were a very small child! This is why they like Obama and his "soak the rich and give their wealth to us" policies so much!

 

They didn't start then it was the housing scheme under Clinton, and then the Dems protecting Fannie and Freddie and Raines and Gorelick. Bush and the Republicans were the one fighting to reign them in while the Democrats were declaring everything was OK. Of course it was Raines and Gorelick who were cooking the books during all that.

Fact, it is going to bankrupt us if it stays in place, and hasn't covered near the numbers they said it would, just look at the failed pre-condition program. And yes employers surveyed are saying the will drop the benefit and tell employees to call the government.

While you systems fails all around you.

ROFLMAO yeah stable at over 9%. During the worst of the recession Bush inherited it didn't go above 6.5%.

We have net loss.

I live here, on the Gulf Coast, you don't know what you are talking about.

Net job loss, NEW jobless claims over 400,000.

At this point in the recovery we should be experiancing 2.5% GDP should be the BOTTOM figure NOT the TOP.

Crisis.

Was he there?

He was not in command of the operation, he led from behind.

The success was handed to Obama, all he had to do was see the political settlement through, he blew it.

I give credit to the military and to the persons who initial engaged UBL and al Qaeda.

He's losing to the generic Republican. Even the Democrats are resigning themselves to the loss and local Democrats are refusing to appear with him.

 

I've learned you living in the UK are hardly qualified nor knowledgeable enough to speak to Americans about our politics.

 

Very good observations, Foolardi.

Your comments are excellent.

Thanks for sharing!

 

You are very correct, Bluesguy.

The people in the UK need to become more like the Germans.

Most of the liberals in Great Britain are very much like children at heart.

They want the government to give them everything like their parents did when they were a very small child! This is why they dislike Margaret Thatcher and support Obama and his "soak the rich and give their wealth to us" policies so much!

What on earth gives you that idea?
