Obama: Not even close to the worst president ever.

Unread post

I think Obama is doing a decent job. Not the best president ever, maybe not a standout president, but certainly not the worst.

Certainly better than Bush. And certainly better than McCain / Palin (My personal estimate is that McCain will die of generally being too old in 2011, and that would have left us with a blithering idiot for president)

I see a lot of complaints here about how Obama is out of control, or how he has apparently ruined our country, or other such hyperbole.

Please, somebody enumerate your grievances with Obama and what he has done. Really. I want specific injuries he has caused, not a broad sweeping complaint of "Oh, NOHS!! Our country is TEH POOH now! Thanks to OBAMA and him being the worst president EVAR>!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?

Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?

Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

johnson...... I don't even think you want me to get started on this topic. I absolutely do not feel the same way as you do about Obama. The two of us fight over this matter and that is why they make chocolate and vanilla! So however you feel, that is your choice. And however I feel, that choice is mine!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely do want you to get started on this topic.

I am not affraid of your opinions, and i do hope you are not affraid of mine. Or anyone else's opinions on the matter.

I keep hearing how he is doing just a TERRIBLE job. Well, perhaps he is. Maybe i missed those events which he is responsible for, and which have hobbled our country. Enlighten me.

But remember, this isn't a scary camp-fire story. You must show your work on this one. Blanket statements are no good. Show me where he mis-stepped. I don't want your gut feelings about this. I don't want to hear about what makes you shiver when you think the accursed name... "OBAMA". I want to see the evidence. I want to see the damage he has done, in detail, so that i can see where you are coming from.

If you add up how much each administration has spent since George Washington to George W. Bush, Obama has spend more than all of them combined ALREADY.

Jim, how can you watch that cherry picked propaganda garbage? I can't stand such videos, no matter who it demonizes, and no matter who it supports. That's not the sort of information that can help in an intellectual conversation. It's overwhelmingly biased. I'd have the same words for someone who posted videos in favor of Democrats and Obama. Let's please exercise our critical thinking skills.

But it is the truth. What can I say further? You can research all the acts and bills and financial magazines yourself.

That sounds like religious conviction. I'd rather have unbiased evidence than cherry picked propaganda to sort through. If you have done such research by going through unbiased sources, please provide those instead of the confirmation clips.
