Even historians agree that Jimmy Carter isn't the worst president in history. I personally feel Reagan was the worst President in history, or atleast my life time. The world didn't really get f_$k'd up until Reagan took office. If I were a black person I would find Reagan's grave just to spit on it. Before Reagan flooded their communities with crack-cocaine their neighborhoods were pretty nice and their family structure were pretty strong. Now their being thrown in prison by the flocks for years & years while the real criminals like Oliver North still rear their evil faces on FOX news.
@ Peachy what do you mean where he comes from. He was born in Hawaii. Who cares about Bill Aires he was 8, no ones electing Jerimiah Wright. Obama 2016 tries to connect some dots and drawn a conclusion but that's all it is. Fahrenheit 9/11 was an all out incriminating this is the facts type of documentary. Reagan and the Iran/Contra is not a joke. There was no crack cocaine before Reagan, and only rich people used cocaine. Reagan-Bush knew exactly what they were going. Bush-Cheney knew exactly what they were doing and who they were throwing under the bus. I absolutely do not trust any Republican in the oval office. Romney would sell us out to the Koch brothers in a heart beat.

I think Carter was the worst president we ever had, but if we re-elect Obama, my opinion will likely change. No-Bama

Senator McConnell: “Stopping Obama’s re-election is still our single most important goal”.
It takes two to tango! According to our Constitution, Congress and the President have joint responsibility for the budget. Thus, both Bush and his Congress are jointly responsible for the Bush Meltdown because they deregulated Wall Street. They also doubled the debt with the Bush tax cuts, the Iraq invasion, and the unfunded drug benefit.
But without Congress, the President is powerless to improve the economy and has no responsibility for unemployment. The filibuster has stopped Obama from day 1. Of all the Senate filibusters in the last 90 years, almost 20% have been used by Republicans against Obama. In 2009, a watered-down stimulus passed with the votes of only one Republican Senator. Dozens of administrative posts have been denied confirmation, including the appointment of a Nobel Laureate. Congress has rejected every budget he presented.
Republicans have destroyed the jobs and lives of millions of Americans by trying to prevent a recovery just to blame it on Obama. Our economy is stricken by anemia. Its lifeblood, its money supply (M2), is now less than $10T. Because of our trade deficit, our economy bleeds over $0.5T of M2 annually but gets a new transfusion only through the government’s deficit spending. Without the stimulus funds and the auto bailout, M2 would now be less than $9T and we would be trapped in a deflationary spiral, facing a serious depression. Who would spend or invest a dollar today if it would buy more tomorrow?
By adding over $1T to M2, Obama avoided Hoover’s collapse and a 25% unemployment rate. He saved over 20 million jobs but we still need 20 million more. The economy is starving for a much larger addition to M2 and the only possible source is government spending on much-needed infrastructure. Everyone knows this but Congressional spending is restrained by a needless fear of excessive debt.
Obama’s spending spree is a myth. As a percentage of total federal spending, discretionary spending was lower in 2011 than in any year in US history. (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/obama-s%E2%80%A6(...
Obama’s taxing spree is a myth. Taxes on the wealthy are the lowest in 80 years. We now have the lowest tax rate in 30 years. http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/in-...
The deficit is entirely due to the Bush Meltdown: imploding tax revenue and exploding, mandatory recovery costs beyond Obama’s responsibility. Our deficit, our debt, and our depression are all Republican.
The health care bill takes effect in 2014 and has had no effect upon the economy. The only other spending bills signed by Obama were the stimulus and the auto bailout, which turned a GDP decline into growth at a rate of $1T per year for the first 2 years. Resulting tax revenue increases, relief benefit declines, and infrastructure improvements have largely paid for the stimulus.
The stimulus paid over $110B to construction workers, $11B to scientists doing research and development crucial to our future, and restored our auto industry. Much more could have been done if Republican governors had used grants for the intended purpose. Instead of fixing school roofs, Texas Governor Perry used stimulus funds to pay debts caused by tax cuts.
The stimulus should have been three times larger to make up for the huge drop in consumer spending caused by the Bush Meltdown. By opposing the stimulus and by limiting the spending on infrastructure, conservatives prevented a speedy recovery so that they could blame Obama for unemployment. They lowered the tax revenue, increased the debt problem, and put us behind China in the race to modernize infrastructure, the basis of military strength and security.

That is your opinion. And no, we don't vote for him just because he is black. He stands for freedom and equality. Those are the ideals liberals stand for unlike conservatives who'd like a homogeneous nation. Well, I have news for you, American is not evangelical Christian straight white. And the rest of us wants to be represented too.

Unfortunately, there are way too many ignorant liberal sheeple in this nation that have absolutely no clue what obama stands for now, let alone where he has come from. They just #1 vote for him because he's a democrat and/or #2 vote for him because he's black.
