How has Barack Obama as President helped, and/or been good for you personally, as an individual?

Directly because of Mr, Obama, I have changed from a life-long Democrat...to a Republican...thank God. that was a good thing ! .And look Summertime answered your question and claimed" Republicans think only of them selves" Do you remember when Summertime came on here and said all those who don't vote the same as she....should" forfeit their right to vote" talk about being a big hypocrite...God save us from those who think like her. She despises me because I call her on this and other remarks she has made (i.e. encouraging people to go commit acts of violence on members of the Tea Party ) It is just as important to expose people like her as it is to expose the sleazy underbelly of Obama himself.

Medicare has improved 1000%. His team is very clever in figuring out how to save money, eliminate waste and prosecute fraud. Thats what I care about, the government saving money. By raising minimum wage to $9, fewer people will qualify for government aid. The government will make up any losses from social welfare spending by selling more weapons abroad.

This is 2013 not 1776, we have many religious and races including atheism. I dont know how Pres Obama has disrespected those beliefs. If you are referring to Israel, he takes the same position as all American presidents, sends money and supports the status quo. He does not have to share the current government's right-wing tactics.

SarahGold: You some kind of lunatic? Obama is a Christian, has nothing to do with sharia law.

Milo: Your employer used Obamacare as an excuse to eliminate insurance, save himself money. If you are under $45K a year you get a tax credit but if the cheapest plan in your state exceeds 8% of your income, you dont pay any penalty.

Exposing: Your problem is your employer short-changing you, not paying you enough. Obama did not say fast food workers should get $15/hr.

ALL OF YOU complaining about financial problems has forgotten we had a financial scandal and a severe recession beginning in Dec. 2007. As Bill Clinton has said, no Pres could pull the country out of the ensuing quagmire in 5 years.

I've always been an {independent} voter, but since Obama and his lying pack of self righteous cronies have taken over, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, and the rest, I've decided never to vote Democratic again. It is really to bad because their are some very well meaning and honest democrats, but they've been drowned out by the ' Socialist, left wing radicals that are looking for only one thing wealth and power, no matter if they destroy the country to get it or not.

I've been through organized harassment gang stalking all through his two terms. Every-time I've tried to petition the whitehouse website it's censored. It started when Bush was in office but Obama claims of not supporting torture is a joke. Literally, your life is ruined if your gang stalked so that's what's he helped accomplish for me because the illegal unconstitutional patriot act he extended gives the ignorant within law enforcement the excuse to continue having me tortured. The NDAA gives him the right to have anybody disappeared so I don't believe a bright future ahead of me because I've heard many other whistleblowers other then Snowden who say those being gang stalked will be the first to be locked away in FEMA labor camps. I won't be a slave for these douchbags so I know that will lead to.

Barack, as did Bill Clinton before him slowed down the far rights drive toward a fascisti government based on economic control by trans national corporations, the police power of government and a semi official right wing 'church'. Living under the dead hand of that form of society where all of the political, social and economic power is in the hands of an ever smaller number of powerful individuals and organizations would crush the life out of any American who opposed what would be the 'corporate state'. Poverty and social unrest would eventually trickle down to effect even 'seniors like me who live in small towns like the one I live in here in southwestern Arizona. That's a spooky thought and a fate to be avoided.

I remember when all Americans had it pretty good... and even for the 'left behinds' in society there was some light at the end of the tunnel. I still like Ike. I still remember Dick Nixon before he went over to the dark side. I still respected Jerry Ford. Even Reagan before he was overwhelmed by his failing mentality and the far right 'New American Century' radicals wasn't inclined toward 'Tea Party' radicalism. This current march toward what Benito Mussolini called corporatism* will choke this country to death should it 'win'. Progress is always better... selling out our birthright as free people for some kind of social control based on the wealth and power of certain individuals and institutions means going backward into some kind of latter day 'dark age'. We don't need that in our lives.

He has yet to be 'good' for me in any way, shape or form. Nor has he been 'good' for anyone that I know...no one in my community, certainly. But he has been incredibly destructive for many individuals, myself included.

Does the left really believe that I would be so outraged by this man's incompetence if he had done anything at all positive?

I actually have benefited a bit from his policies, although I loathe the left wing ideologue, Oblama. If McCain had been elected President, the economy would be booming, as Obamacare and the excessive regulations Dems have created have really slowed economic growth.

Actually, the Navy Seals killed bin Laden and Al Qaeda is doing just fine in Africa and Iraq.

I had my hours cut earlier this year because of Obamacare. Our contracts are signed based off the school year, so by the time the business mandate was delayed, our contracts had already been signed with everyone's hours cut. Then, because of budget cuts, I was laid off last week. But somehow, I have to come up with money to pay a fine for going without health insurance I can't afford next year. And I don't qualify for a subsidy or Medicaid because it's based off of total household income, and since I live with my boyfriend and his dad, the government counts their incomes with mine.

I also can't find a decent cheap car anymore, but that's the least of my problems.

No president has had any specific impact on me since the mid-80s. I was an Obama voter and given the losers and idiots that the conservatives have put up as candidates, I still am.

The idea of having a fundamentalist president with the ability to start a nuclear was scares the heck out of me. I could see someone like Palin thinking that god put her in such a position to hurry things along. Scary.

Anyone who still supports Obama is one of his co-conspirators.

They profit from being part of the conspiracy.

Some of them are paid White House propagandists. We know who they are. They are collecting a paycheck for being here and shilling for Obama.

Some of them are receiving government handouts. They have no aversion to selling out their country for a free cell phone. Even if Obama didn't give them the phone. they think he did.

Some of them are just plain racists and they voted for him because he's black.

Nobody supports Obama for any reason other than their own personal gain.

Obama has mastered the math of buying the population. Take an equal amount of money from 100 percent of the population, then divide up the loot equally among a chosen 60 percent of the population.

And you win every election. Guaranteed.
