If you ask me, I view Obama as a pretty average president. He's had a few achievements and he's made some bad decisions. Of course, he didn't live up to the ridiculous hype that was created during and after the 2008 elections (expectations that I am guilty of helping create).
My family isn't American, so we don't really have much to say in the way of American politics. For Australians, most of my extended family strongly supports the Labor party.
Personally, I would prefer a president with libertarian values, and Ron Paul has been my main interest in this election. However, OP, there's more to a president than being a "good spokesperson" and having "memorable speeches". Any president that goes down in history must change the nation for the better and act like a president, not a partisan puppet, and I don't really think Obama has done either.

You guys are clear on what you believe, but you forgot to put why you feel the way you do. Is it because of who is around you, influencing? Or is it because you have a real reason.

I don't particularly care for Obama, but he isn't out of office yet. The Republicans seem to be having problems with all their candidates, as soon as one seems to be doing well, something comes up about a shady past, or something like that. The only real threat to Obama will be once the Republicans finally manage to get a nominee, most likely Romney, and the voters strongly support him. I think there is a good chance Obama will stay in the house, being the incumbent does have some advantage as well.

Your posts are barely readable. It's an amendment, not an amedment. Also, it seems you think your right to shoot stuff is more important to you than most everything else. Funny, though, Obama hasn't made any major moves for gun control. I guess you just drink in everything that you're told.
These are the reasons I will vote for Obama, rather than the Republican alternative, when it comes time to the election:
1) Obama is a much more ardent supporter of gay rights, although he has not yet said that he supports gay marriage.
2) Obama doesn't flip-flop like Mitt Romney. Being from Massachusetts, I know how similar the national health care plan is to the plan that was formed in our state back when Mitt Romney was governor. That plan has been mostly successful, but now Mitt's gone back on his word because it's more politically expedient to go against the national plan.
3) I hate the Republicans in Congress with a passion. They are much more obstructive than even the Democrats were under Bush, and that's saying something.
4) Any Republican elected will have to pander to the Tea Party, which will lead to ridiculous problems.
5) Obama's done a decent job. He hasn't lived up to expectations, but: the unemployment rate has dropped 1.5% since its peak; there have been no major banking sector collapses; the United States has withdrawn from Afghanistan; Osama bin Laden was killed; the economy has stabilized and GDP is now at an annual growth rate of 2.9%.
I could list more but that's enough for now.

He also cant figure out the oil crisis Serioulsy all you have todo is open the alaskan pipeline again and all the prices will go down a little. And from what the NRA (National Rifle Association) said Obama wanted to take the guns away or absurd bans on them. I also dont believe he was born in this country to me Hawaii in not a US state. And most of all he believes in peace.

By what, $1-$2 a barrel? The US Geological Survey estimates that there are about 890 million barrels in Alaska (http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/10/27/alaskas-untapped-oil-reserves-estimate-lowered-90-percent/). For comparison, the oil reserves in Saudi Arabia are estimated to be at 267 billion barrels. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves_in_Saudi_Arabia) Huge difference, right?
And from what the NRA (National Rifle Association) said Obama wanted to take the guns away or absurd bans on them.
For these claims, FactCheck.org (http://factcheck.org/2008/09/nra-targets-obama/) completely debunks them. A few quotes from their article:
Obama, "Sportsmen": Barack Obama believes the Second Amendment creates an individual right, and he respects the constitutional rights of Americans to bear arms. He will protect the rights of hunters and other law-abiding Americans to purchase, own, transport, and use guns.
Obama, "Urban Policy": Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.
I also dont believe he was born in this country to me Hawaii in not a US state.
What is Hawaii then, a foreign country? That's completely ludicrous.
And most of all he believes in peace. Now i know you will all say "peace is a good thing" But its not good because if in peace then everyone will thiink you dont have a good Military and attack you.
The DoD budget in 2011 was estimated at over $700billion, up from $683billion in 2010. That's 4.7% of the United States GDP. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures) This is more than China or Russia spends as a percent of their GDP, and more than six times as much as China spends. All this under Obama's watch. And you think to propose that he doesn't support a strong military?
and i forgot something
HE HASN'T IMPROVED THE ECONOMY!!!!!!!!
This is the point that makes the most sense, but again you're wrong. Check out the GDP graph (http://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&met_y=ny_gdp_mktp_cd&idim=country:USA&dl=en&hl=en&q=us+gdp#ctype=l&strail=false&bcs=d&nselm=h&met_y=ny_gdp_mktp_cd&scale_y=lin&ind_y=false&rdim=country&idim=country:USA&ifdim=country&hl=en&dl=en)and see for yourself. Since Obama took office in 2009, the economy has been growing. The unemployment rate graph looks like this:
http://data.bls.gov/generated_files/graphics/LNS14000000_39922_1325724894469.gif
You see, it peaked in January of 2010 and since then has been on a steady but slow downturn. This is proof of a slowly improving economy. Also, notice that the huge increase in unemployment happened in the last year of the Bush presidency, not under Obama.

Meh, I dislike Obama very much. For one he tried to pass a health care bill that would force everyone to pay for healthcare. I would prefer it if I wasn't FORCED to pay for something I may not want to pay for. I can understand if he wants to OFFER healthcare to those who are willing to pay, but otherwise its complete bullshit.
Whoever was talking about being influenced by someone close to you... OF COURSE THEY WERE INFLUENCED IN SUCH A WAY. Lets face it people typically adopt what their parents believe. Am I saying that's a bad thing? No. I mostly say this because parents or others you use to form your political believes around begin "brain washing" you at a very early age. In my experience both sides are able to make good points, that's why you believe the first thing you hear. On the other hand once you believe what one side has told you, it might be hard to look at another side's view as rational. I recommend anyone who has no idea what they are talking about, look up what you're claiming to believe before you say something stupid.
