Why don't people like Obama??? He's only done good things!!!?

Question

1. Passed Health Care Reform: After five presidents over a century failed to create universal health insurance, signed the Affordable Care Act (2010). It will cover 32 million uninsured Americans beginning in 2014 and mandates a suite of experimental measures to cut health care cost growth, the number one cause of America’s long-term fiscal problems. 
2. Passed the Stimulus: Signed $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009 to spur economic growth amid greatest recession since the Great Depression. Weeks after stimulus went into effect, unemployment claims began to subside. Twelve months later, the private sector began producing more jobs than it was losing, and it has continued to do so for twenty-three straight months, creating a total of nearly 3.7 million new private-sector jobs. 
3. Passed Wall Street Reform: Signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (2010) to re-regulate the financial sector after its practices caused the Great Recession. The new law tightens capital requirements on large banks and other financial institutions, requires derivatives to be sold on clearinghouses and exchanges, mandates that large banks provide “living wills” to avoid chaotic bankruptcies, limits their ability to trade with customers’ money for their own profit, and creates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (now headed by Richard Cordray) to crack down on abusive lending products and companies. 4. Ended the War in Iraq: Ordered all U.S. military forces out of the country. Last troops left on December 18, 2011. 
5. Began Drawdown of War in Afghanistan: From a peak of 101,000 troops in June 2011, U.S. forces are now down to 91,000, with 23,000 slated to leave by the end of summer 2012. According to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, the combat mission there will be over by next year. 
6. Eliminated Osama bin laden: In 2011, ordered special forces raid of secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in which the terrorist leader was killed and a trove of al-Qaeda documents was discovered. 

He also turned the American auto industry around, recapitalized banks, repealed "DADT", and toppled Moammar Gadaffi.

The only people that don't like him are old racist white guys. Why do we even let people over the age of 45 even have anything to do with politics??? They're the ones that dont know what they're going, all they want is greedy, race, and religion based war, and all these dirty southerners and a few  northern rednecks seem to want that too. We needed a change from that old white run government, if we have to have a white president can he at least be Italian??? Those guys are real and great leaders. Obama gave us that change. Now that we've seen the great governing skills of a man of color I don't wanna go back to the way things were before with all those white guys. All they ever wanted was war, money, and white supremacy...I'm done with them, and you should be to, but what i'd really love to see a Native American president and Obama opened their doors to, the doors to their own land.

Obama is the President of Peace and Equality, those old white guys are the causes of destruction.

Promise me you'll vote Obama. Promise me you'll vote for peace and equality and not destruction.

Brian · Answer

So typical. I had to sorta create a drinking game to be able to get through that list of rote Republican Excuseisms.

Drink for every time these are mentioned: First. Propose. Prices. Jobs. Race. To.

You guys are ****** up now, right?

My #1 answer to this bullshit is:

Obama has not yet involved us in a full-scale war based upon invented pretenses. He DID order the successful killing of the leader of the group that actually attacked us. Guess that goes to the top of the Obama list, yes?

shawn g · Answer

wait....he toppled moammar gadaffi? wow, i didnt know obama was fighting next to the rebels. ohhh you mean he illegally bombed another country without congress approval!  wait....didnt you libs want bush put in jail for the same thing? and why arnt you anti war libs going crazy over the bombings in pakistan? We are at war with them and no one even knows it!  but at least bush got approval to go to war. I love watching you political idiots fighting for the exact people who are running this country into the ground. Reps and Dems are destroying this country and no one is doing a thing about it. All it is is high school all over again with grown a$$ men. He did this, he said that. Mean while who is getting screwed? the american people. Keep fighting for who you think is right, but in the end, we all lose no matter what.  OPEN YOUR EYES

Capt. Omega · Answer

Honestly he's not a terrible president, he just can't pass anything because most of the republicans in the house and senate who just won't listen to reason. Look, have you heard of Obama's plan to make small business a focal point? Probably no. The republicans(when I say this, I mean most republicans, not all) had nothing to do with it and turned it down. Don't we want small businesses to succeed? Aren't small business the key to america's future? The republicans whine and groan to every one of Obama's plans and then when the debt ceiling is about to be met say "Oh crap, we're about to hit the debt ceiling, let's just raise it and worry about it tomorrow". The media only cares about the stuff that is and isn't passed and that's why so many people hate Obama, because they are drones to the media. The media honestly needs to be reformed, it's just impossible to do.

How would I Know · Answer

I'm afraid that unlike you.. I don't hate this country and have no desire to see Obama destroy it.  

1) "Affordable Health Care Act" has resulted in the LEAST AFFORDABLE health care in US history.  Hundreds of millions of Americans now have less money to take care of their family because of this unconstitutional scam.

2) "The Stimulus" was another huge scam.  Very little of the stimulus money ( about 5% ) went into actual stimulus, while the rest has just been pissed away on one scam after another.  We have seen a net LOSS of over 5 million jobs since Obama took office and have hit the lowest workforce participation ( AKA people with jobs ) rate in 30 years.

3) Wall Street Reform.. which ignored the actual cause of the housing collapse.

4) Ended the War in Iraq.. by following a withdrawal treaty signed by Bush with Iraq long before he took office.

5) Began Drawdown of War in Afghanistan.. before the country has been stabilized, meaning that it will revert to Taliban control within weeks of the final NATO pullout.

The simple fact is that the only people still supporting Obama at this point are mindless racists who don't care about the massive damage he's done to the country.. they only care about the color of his skin.

You may hate the US enough to vote for Obama, but don't ask any decent people to..

There must be a lot of old racist white guys in this country because come November Obama is gone. You can not keep living in your dream world forever. If he has done all those good things, why is the country in worse shape than it was when he took office.

So, using your criteria that people over age 45 shouldn't have anything to do with politics we should then kick 0bama out since he's age 50.

Ice Thunder · Answer

Anyone who says debt, unemployment, recession, etc is a complete moron. They would/should know its not his fault reoublicand wont vote for any jobs to be recreated. If no jobs are created, people dont have money(debt), which leads to rrecession. So really, people blame Obama for trying to do stuff, but he cant pass any jobs, laws, or anything because republicabns have the mjority. So really, blame your republiocan friends who want to  see obama fail. If Romney gets it the country is screwed and anyone who is smart obviously knows that. If Romney gets in, say hello to tax breaks for rich, cutting the dept. of education, and say fgoodbye to middle and lower classes. Its the flat out truth. And idc how many thumbs downs i get because it will be a repub lican who wants to favor the rich, just like Romney.

so really its not his fault. Its an endless cycle of debt thanks to congress and the house of reps.

Hes had his ups, hes had his downs. But to be honest, which president was a 100% success? NONE. And if no one can agree, things will get worse, and people will blame Obama because he is the president. Its not like its his fault, people just favor one side. I know it sounds like I favor one, but I dont.

Its not his fault we are in debt- we have been for years and years- its not like he can make trillions of dollars in 4 years. BE REALISTIC

its not his fault of climate change you idiot. ITS HUMANITY

its not his fault there are no jobs- congress wont approve his ideas

its not his fault for aanything, really. Dont just blame the president. Be smart, be realistic and blame the government and all 3 branches for screwing us all over behind our backs
