How did the greatest leader of the free world let us down?

The whole American government has been making bad choices for years now, but obama and his liberal congress did some damage on the debt side of things.

Obama is a good leader, but his social polices came at the wrong time. The US needs serious reforms of society (i.e. Health, better funding for education, welfare reform all of which would take it to European standards), but it must first sort out the economy so it can afford reform. Obama is a good leader, but the realities of office plus the attitude of the tea party has decreased his abilities. This is the partisan nature of US politics unfortunately, you need a third, moderate, party.

By focusing on his re election, he has not given enough energy and thought to what our country needs. Berating others and lecturing has become boring and it's all he does.

It's S & P's fault says Obama, who can never be accountable. The rest of the world is laughing at our lack of leadership, but despising us for costing them money.

Who are you talking about? By saying the "greatest" leader of the free world you have eliminated Obama.

Americans are the problem, move Obama to Canada, we'll take him, even if he is a little right wing

the will follow their messiah and drink the kool-aid.

He didn't.... Reagan's been gone for years.
