Why do people expect Obama to change the world when he's not GOD (Give him a break)?

Question

Since so many Obama and Romney fans want to bicker so much about why you shouldn't vote for their opposite president, then I am telling my political views. Also you are more than welcome to stir some S H I T on my question. Reasons why I vote for Obama:
 
Health care reform. While the health care reform bill was less than what some of us had hoped it would be, it was a huge win for every patient in the U.S. nonetheless. For starters, it means insurance companies can no longer impose lifetime caps on coverage, and won’t be able to deny you (or your kids) coverage due to pre-existing conditions. They can’t drop you if you get sick either. Additionally, most preventative services for which you previously would have had a co-pay will now be free. And, starting in 2014, insurance companies will be required to include maternity coverage in their plans.

 Finance reform. The finance reform bill (passed in 2010) was a very, very big deal. (Too bad almost no one understood it.) To help clear things up, I’ll be posting a detailed analysis of the new law soon. For now, readers can get a sneak peek into how much this bill changed things (or has the potential to change things, if Republicans would have the decency to leave it alone), by researching the innumerable ways the Republicans are attempting to gut it. (Read this and this.)

 Financial aid reform. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act signed into law in 2010 cut the middle-man (i.e. banks and commercial lenders) out of the student aid market and made the federal government the main lender. This was a highly debated piece of legislation, because it cut the banks out of the process entirely, which meant they no longer would be able to make billions of dollars in profit off the backs of struggling college students. While some of us may not have realized that the banks were raking in the bucks by “helping” us gain access to the federal aid money the government had agreed to give us anyway, they were. And, now they’re not. Which translates into $60 billion in savings for the government over the next 10 years. It also means less interest and more grants for you (and/or your kids, and/or your grandkids). Don’t believe me? Check out this article in The Week here.

 Finally, just this week, the Obama administration issued new standards that require insurance companies to provide birth-control pills and other contraceptives free-of-charge to insured women. (For more info, click here. To hear my thoughts on contraception, read this.)

 All in all, I’d say Obama has done a lot. In just a few years, he’s managed to push through wide-reaching legistlation that other presidents only dreamed of passing. (To drive the point home – We’ve been trying to pass health care reform for nearly 100 years.) Yes, he has failed in certain ways. Yes, we’re disappointed. But, he isn’t a failure. And, he still has my vote.
 
He's making millions pay their fair share of taxes and he has ended the war in Iraq. That's all I have to say. I am so tired of getting criticism. We live in acruell world, where people love to judge others. I just cannot wait until this dumb ol' election is over. It's more than likely romney is going to win, but I'm just getting my opinions on what Obama has done. He has done a lot for us. As for Romney, he also said some comment about food stamps. Food stamps is helpful fordisadvantagedd families and colleges students. What's wrong with food stamps? Romney is so accustomed to lying, he just can't stop. There isn't an issue that he won't lie about. The unfortunate fact for Romney is that there wasn't a bipartisan failure on this bill at all. The Senate passed its version of the bill with very few problems, back in June with 16 Republican votes. The House Agriculture Committee passed a crappy farm bill, with too egregious cuts to food stamps. 

So bring on the hate. I have never been able to give my opinion, so here's my opinion. I will read your answers and you can call be a ********* if you want. But just so you know, Obama has TRIED. People need to give him some credit. He's NOT GOD, JEESH! I am just tired ofeveryones ********* attitudes. All I can say is, I will pray for you low life's who have NOTHING better to do. But to argue with people because of their beliefs. This is AMERICA, we haverights'ss to vote for whoever we want. But that doesn't mean that you can constantly argue with people. Whether you believe in GOD or not,presidentt BARACK OBAMA is NOT GOD. I know EVERYONE'S gonna disagree with me, but who gives a ****. I work so hard to combat ignorance towards politics.

First off, I do disagree on one point-ROMNEY WILL LOSE! Reason being, a vast majority of romney supporters pledge their support based on hatred, ignorance and intollerance and not on a true PLAN to a BETTER AMERICA. As much as many would claim(OR HOPE), MOST AMERICANS arent stupid. Secondly, many fail to acknowledge how dire our economic outlook was when Obama took over, but even more overlooked is the fact that EUROPE plays a key role in the american economy. When republicans were all clamouring about Obamas poor economic performance with a mere 1.2 percent growth, europe would have killed for that kind of success in the midst of a world wide recession. And they are HUGE in regards to foreign trade and stability! Of course, they dont hear that on FOX NEWS so it must not be important, right? All they hear about it from romney is that we are on the road to greece, never bothering to mention we live in same neighborhood. They also say they want to brand china as a CURRENCY MANIPULATOR on (what he hoped would be) his first day in office. What romney knows that most americans dont is, china is considered a developing nation and is allowed to do so under IMF and world bank guidelines. Essentially, making such a statement will make NOT MAKE A BIT OF DIFFERENCE, and could, in fact, damage our trade relations with china and decrease american GDP. Hate and big corporate money should NEVER dictate the future of america! The last time it did there was a civil war. In the 1860s america could rebuild and reconcile. In the 21st century, all it will do is seal our fate, and we will find ourselves on a ROAD TO ROME! OBAMA 2012

I love how well you worded EXACTLY how I feel about the health care reform that so many people disliked. As a nurse, I'm well aware of the economic crisis caused by too many uninsured people (including illegal aliens) who leave hospitals and doctors stuck for billions of dollars each year, which makes the rest of us pay crazy fees for medical care. The Health insurance reform was a GOOD thing. I also love that Obama signed stem cell research into being legal a few HOURS after taking office 4 years ago; a major screw up from George W. Bush (one of many). He also supports reproductive rights and gay marriage, which also makes sense if you have common sense. The economy was in the shitter 4 years agho, and unemployment rates have dropped and are continuing to drop. He can't waive a magic wand and make things perfect in a year or so. It takes time, but things are going in the right direction. Educated middle class people can see that. It's the people with their heads in their assholes who want to think they are "rich" or will be charged a few dollars more in taxes that are bickering. Many who are planning ot vote for Romney, aren't even capable of seeing that their vote would only hurt themselves.

Ha ha ha hahahahahahahaha.  I knew that you people would listen to the LIES that they are saying.  The democrats have been making excuses saying that he walked into a mess, Okay listen, Bush did NOTHING wrong and Why God does he get hammered for everything.  Did you watch the shows on cnn, "Romney, life, buisness, road to power, and Obama, president." notice that they would mention EVERYTHING that Romney did that was dumb, and pick apart his life and road to power?.  What the Hell does that have to do with anything?!!!!?????!!!!  and they Dared NOT to mention any of Obama's life, such as him selling cocaine, and other drugs when he was in college, and the fact that he's never run a lemonade stand.  You see, that our president has no record to go on (talking about his presidentcy) so all he can do is pick and bs about Romney.  Oh my Lord, what is the world coming to?

He's Black.

That is why Republicans want him out. Simple as that. Read all the racist comments coming from them about the president and there is your answer. I voted early for Obama.

P.S. They won't leave any racist comments on this question about him because that would be proving me right but just read the answers to the other questions in this section and you will see clearly. The mention of food stamps (their favorite), they call him "The Kenyan", and so on.

EDIT: @PULL MY FINGER, Somebody already did because you are releasing a lot of bs and gas.

I didn't expect Obama to fix Bush's mess in one term, I had hoped he would have at least made a gear switch in the way things are going but he hasn't, things are getting worse, if anything he needs another 4 years to fix the mess he made in THESE 4 years

What do you mean "Free of charge"? Someone is paying for it and it's me and everyone else who makes more than those we get something for nothing, my taxes go to foodstamps for college students

I am paying for a women's abortion

Does this not bother you? This isn't fair share of taxes, 47% of the country ISN'T paying taxes

I used to just say "oh, people who aren't voting for obama are racist.", but that is truly not the case. As much as i love obama, (Obama2012 btw :D), some people have lost their jobs when he was president, and are angry that they had to go through this. People do have their reasons. BUT, I think that Obama was still left in a really crappy position, that was really hard to get out of.

Obama signed the NDAA. That's enough for me to hate him.
If he wanted to, he could throw our asses in Guantanamo Bay for no reason.
