Rating President Barack Obama.
 

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...as-legacy.html

I did vote for him in 2008 when I thought he was going to do great things but only voted for him in 2012 because Romney did not seem to go into details about what he was going to do as President. Something off happened at the University of Denver Presidential Debate that threw President Obama off his game which I did not think he deserved, so I fought for the Obama re-election on Facebook quite hard even though it only seemed that his handling of Hurricane Sandy and his working with the NJ Governor Chris Christie saved him.

I voted for the two Bushes three times and do really like what Jeb Bush has to say about a lot of stuff. He does not seem to have the charm needed though to get enough votes and fend off Donald Trump and some of the other Republicans.

Still it will be interesting to see what historians do with President Barack Obama.

Once he is out of office there will be more reported about what the media, writers and we the people do not or did not like about him, his presidency and his much over rated legacy.

While he is in office, after witnessing his position on racial implications (real or manufactured)....many do not want to risk being viewed as picking on the black guy .....because that is how it would be portrayed.

I did not and would not ever vote for him or anybody else so unqualified for the position.

I did say I would give him until his first state of the union to give my opinion of him. I would not have allowed him to serve year two. His complete lack of executive capability was more tha evident. He rearely if ever did what he talked about or promised. His penchant for things tacial were glaringly evident.

He did not and still does not in any way shape or form represent the needs of America or it's people.

He is at best a failing grade on the international scene.

Has no respect or understanding of the strategic significance of the military.
Less than amateur.

And on many of the above and many others he has no desire nor did he ever display any ability to take advice or criticism.

Over all he will be judged as one of America's least capable ever in office...black white or any other wise!

Well, he sure flopped as the first black president. What a disappointment. But, I didn't vote for him so I am not responsible for the brain fart others had. As far as his golf is concerned, I understand he has improved, but I have no evidence to prove it. His standup comedy is average. His public image of his married life is his treating his wife like a sister, including a sisterly kiss. Some say he is a closet gay, but that's his business. His diplomacy when dealing with congress is pretty poor. He needs remedial leadership classes. His knowledge of the constitution is lacking, making one wonder if the stories of his teaching is over exaggerated. He is a bully and does not play well with others, making one think that he might have been an only child, raised by a single mother.

Over all, I would have to rate him at a D+ (being charitable)

This forum will judge him quite harshly but I'm sure less affluent communities will be kinder. I personally did not vote for President Obama either time but in 2008 I couldn't make myself check the box next to McCann, I chose to leave both boxes blank. I did think if this Obama guy is the real deal he might be able to make some needed corrections. My biggest criticism of him is his campaign claim that spending the next generation's future was immoral. As he leaves office his two children will not have to work a day in their lives if they choose not to but a crushing debt is left for future generations he did absolutely nothing to reduce. My two children and my grand-children will have to work. Obama made his fortune working "for the people". That is his legacy from this writer.

One suggestion. The phraseology highlighted infers doing something for the people while in office....which he did not. He only did "work" for his own personal gain while taking up space in the office of the president.

The phrase "working 'for the people' " infers nothing. It does however imply quite a bit.

:agree:

One of the best!
 

It's quite shameful of how the president is talked about now compared with presidents of the past. President Obama has done what few others could do with such hateful opposition from Congress! It's disgraceful how the President of the United States has been talked about here and around the U.S., they should be ashamed! To show their ignorance people spout opinions about his lack of Constitutional knowledge yet he is a graduate of Harvard in Constitutional Law! Pathetic ignorance.

The minority report (PUN intended:D) is duly noted!

:highfive:

Did you say that when Bush was being hung in effigy? Did you say that when Bush was painted as Hitler or a clown? Give it a break and quit your whining. You should be ashamed for voting for this failure. He was pushed through Harvard. He didn't even have the qualifications anyone else would need to get in. As far as his knowledge of the constitution is concerned, he has never shown any evidence that he is familiar with the document. In any of the 57 states that he visited....:a20:

Rate Obama? FAILED!!

Clown! Lottsa make up; say stupid or goofy things; act like an idiot; change clothes and pretend to be somebody else.

Clown = Obama

Before we had a black president who lived with a Muslim stepfather in Asia during grade school, we were having better race relations and had a better idea of how to handle radical Muslims. Just sayin'.

Succinctly and nicely stated!!

Graduated, but fr from head of class

Best response ever IMO:bigbow::bigbow::bigbow:

For me, that is what makes it so egregious. He knows. He doesn't care. He uses his knowledge to do an end run around the Constitution.

I did not vote for him, but when he was elected, I sucked it up and hoped he would be a role model for young, disaffected blacks, males in particular.

He did nothing of the sort. He has set race relations back decades. IMO, he is the most miserable, disappointing effigy of a leader I have ever experienced. And I'm an old broad.

It is said that today's headlines is tomorrow's history. If that is true then by any measure and owing solely to the liberal media coverups and the defending by the elitist liberal intelligentsia he will be canonized as a saint. Liberals will never allow their prized affirmative action product to be recognized and regarded as anything but successful.

The reality is that by any measure statistics show he failed the economy, foreign policy, crated a wider divide between the races, discredited America to both its friends and foes. He was launched and supported by the elitist liberal intelligentsia to do their bidding including the climate change agenda, gun control internationalism, reducing America's exceptionalism. He is a socialist, a racist, a egomanic, a liar, anti Christian, anti American and the worse person elected to the position of president . The only reason he was not impeached is because he is black

Rate??

Best black president we have ever had, except for Clinton.

He is without a doubt the worst president we have ever had and he just happens to be black.

If he were white doing the same stupid stuff would the reaction be different?

Of course it would!

Just curious who was yr alma mater?

Barack Obama rates far better than Weasel Bush. Remember that Weasel Bush got us into the Iraq War with his lies. The ISIS mess would not have happened if not for Weasel.

Weasel Bush is a war criminal as iis Cheney. Both are under indictment by the World Court and would be put on trial if they leave the USA.

Same old, same old..."It's Bush's fault". Liberals never tire of blaming the FORMER President.

Oh no not the old lame blame game again.

Must be a holiday for the talking point crew so just use the same old non-pertinent, excuse crap.

Unbelievable!! The pet liberal blames Bush for Obama's failure again. I guess if Hilary was to be elected (ain't gonna happen) he would have to blame Obama for Hilary's blunders, huh?

If Hillary does get elected (unlikely), he will blame George Bush for Hillary's incompetence.

Started voting in federal elections in 1960. Through 2013, I rated Obama the 2nd worst President I've experienced behind only the feckless Jimmy Carter. However, after the last 22 months I'm letting Jimmy out of the cellar and putting boob Obama in last place. Baldfaced lies too numerous, boundless foreign policy silliness, unending illegal activities by his hench people at federal agencies, etc., etc.

At this point, all Obama has going for him is all the racial healing that has taken place. Say what ---- you say he's actually been the #1 race hustler over his term. OK, I take the racial healing part back.

:a20:...:highfive:

I got free ride like Odumbo so you can't see my transcript. Like Odumbos it's full of free passes and inferior grades I got from sports scholarship, you know your tipical BB and FB scholarship..

On a scale of 1 to 10 being 10 the best, I would say a 1 and that's being generous

And the idiot-in-chief speaks again about gun control after the shooting in California. He needs to get control of his premature ejaculating mouth and think before spouting his ideology. The weapons were purchased LEGALLY. They were NOT assault weapons, even though they appeared to look like them. Semi-automatic rifles are legal. Countries with strict gun control laws also have mass shootings. The USA is number 7 in mass shootings per capita, and all the leading countries with higher stats also have more restrictive gun control. Of course when you have a leader that still thinks there are 57 states, what else would you expect than garbage spewing from his mouth?

In October, the FBI released its 2014 report on firearms homicides, which shows an 18% decline since 2007.

Maybe the worst ever
 

From columnist Roger Simon: "To lay the blame for what happened Wednesday in San Bernardino on Barack Obama might seem excessive. But if not on him, who? From the day he took office, the president has been engaged in a game of outright denial that Islam has anything to do with what is wrong in the world.

To paraphrase H.L. Mencken, “When somebody says it’s not about Islam, it’s about Islam.”

Syed Farook did not go to Saudi Arabia to study Zen Buddhism. America, and its trailing entities in Europe, has a problem now of gargantuan proportions. Barack Obama was and is precisely the wrong man, possibly the worst conceivable man, to be president of the United States at this point in history."

As I said in an earlier post, clearly the worst President of my lifetime.

:agree:

Let's hear from some conservative defending the Iraq war and loss of 4500 American lives. What was the reason and was it worth it?

Why not ask Hillary? She supported it.

Other than distract from the intent of the original post and add absolutely no value to the point.....what does this have to do with Obama's rating?????

Must be the brainwash snap back mechanism. When asked about Obama always go back to Bush.

After 7 years still using the tired old Bush response!?!?

The real problem with Obama is that he is fundamentally dishonest. He follows the democratic playbook that "assumes people are too stupid to know what is best and we need to take care of them and if we have to lie to get our way then that is perfectly justified". Why anyone would vote for a person and party that believes they are stupid is beyond me.
