Has Obama Done a Good Job as President?

I am a conservative, but I understand what Obama has been trying to do and I understand that he means well, but he just sucks at his job. First of all, America has double the debt since he came into office with nothing to show for it. He has also made countless broken promises. He said unemployment would be down to 8% by 2009 and 6% by 2012.That's 36 months of unemployment being higher than he said it would be, and because of that, hard working men and women like my father are unemployed and struggling. I'm not being bitter because a lot of people have it worse than I do, but I am just stating a fact.Obama's broken promises continue when you recall how he said 2 million people would rise out of poverty in the United States, when 6.3 million actually fell in.

Obama is also atrocious at bailing companies. AIG and GM hasn't really worked out so far. He's spent 35 billion dollars on clean energy industries. All money down the drain. Fisker Automotives. Let's spend money on them! Nice job, they employ people in Finland now. Solyndra? The poster child for the future of clean energy? Obama gave them a 535 million dollar loan and now they are bankrupt. Who pays for all of this money? Our generation, the next, and even the next. His ideas are pure and good for the country, but Obama does not do his homework, along with his top people in office, and we suffer for it. I think the whole green energy path is good for the long-run, but right now oil is another problem. It is so damn expensive. Maybe we could drill in the meantime while Obama actually does his homework before he blindly invests billions of dollars in green energy. I saw an Obama speech about 2 years ago where he says he is going to start to drill. Another broken promise. The keystone pipeline would create a lot of jobs too, but Obama says no. Obama is going nowhere right now.

Now he wants to force us to buy health care. We will be forced to buy insurance from the people already dishing it out, which means a company with no need to truly help the people other than for a profit will be in charge, health care quality will drop like a rock. Plus, it will become a monopoly. Who knows if Obama and the boys did their homework this time around? And I think not because it was really rushed at the start. It could end in a disaster. I am also puzzled why health care is such a huge problem now, anyways. All of his efforts should be towards fixing the economy first, and foremost. Then some people will be able to actually afford health care who do not right now because they will actually have a job. And why are we aiding the less fortunate in other countries? Shouldn't we aid our own first so we can then help others? It's not really a selfish thing to do because you are helping other people and it leads to helping others outside the country.

All in all Obama has shown an incredible lack in leadership. I feel that people were too mesmerized by his speaking ability and his confidence, that a lot of people blindly voted for him in '08. Republican or Democrat, you should understand by now that Obama is not capable of leading a country, and I hardly blame him, he had next to no previous experience! I have gone on to long, back to the question: Do you think Obama has done a good job in office?

BQ1: Did you vote for him in '08?

BQ2: Are you voting for him this year?
