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.

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.

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....

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'.
