How was Barack Obama as President?

As a Democrat, I always believed that Barack Obama was the best President we Americans had. He knew how to keep our country safer and peaceful and knew how to deal with different leaders from different countries such as Vladimir Putin from Russia. And he was very good about protecting our environment and improving it. Plus he had compassion for Disabled Americans like myself.

    I feel like everybody’s reasons for saying he was a bad president are childish. He’s not a Muslim. He wasn’t born in Kenya...he was born in Hawaii. The man knows politics and is a active reader. He inherited a mess of a country and did what he could with it. It’s time to stop blaming Obama for America’s wrongs. It’s going to take even longer to fix now that we have this orange guy in office.

    Obama COULD have been one of our best Presidents, but he failed miserably.

    Never before in history has such a splendid opportunity for greatness been so publicly squandered.

    Barack Obama will be remembered for his failures, and as one of the worst leaders in US history.

    Due to his unique heritage and popular support at home and abroad at the time of his election, AND given control of both Houses of Congress, Obama stepped into the Oval Office in a better position than any other President in history to heal the racial divide in our Country and to solve the Nation's economic problems as well as to provide American leadership for the World.

    Sadly, he found himself unable to rise above his personal agenda and the influence of his radical associates, past and present, in order to become a true leader and secure the place in History which could have, and should have, so easily been his.

    If Obama had delivered as expected and promised, there is little doubt that he would have rightly gone down as one of our greatest Presidents.......a true National and World Leader.

    Instead, he chose to "lead from behind", providing only excuses to a Nation hungry for leadership and only mixed messages to a World in need of direction.

    He came into office at a time when practically the only way to go was up, but failed to move the Nation (shall I use his own slogan?) "Forward", and pursued foreign policies which only resulted in chaos around the world.

    Historians will not forget the lofty domestic promises and the Cairo and Brandenburg Gate speeches as quickly as liberals have selectively forgotten them.

    Obama has left a record of lies, stone walling, cover-ups, and propaganda which will not speak kindly of him in the pages of history.
