I know next to nothing about politics, so my opinion isn't worth much, but where I live, everyone's extremely supportive of Obama. Romney was a joke throughout my entire school during the campaign; it's difficult not to be biased. I've never been informed enough to really take a firm side on the political divide, but I like that Obama's supportive of gay marriage and all that. That's as much as I know about politics.

I think he sounds more mature than Bush and he looks better. I don't really care about politics. I only care that the US is ran by a person who gives a good image.
But I do want a good economy, and lower taxes, and better education, and such.
And think about it, without him, we'd never have had this!:

He's raised taxes. He says that he'll cut the deficit in half, when he's added more than half to it. When he says he'll cut it in half, what he really is saying is that he's gonna cut half of the debt he added. Which is going to be what? Like, $8-$10 trillion? By the end of this term.

People credit him for killing Bin Laden, when in reality it was Bush who did 90% of the work.

Obama is alright.

He knows a lot more, and is more competent than, Romney. Plus, he inherited a ridiculous war and a deficit, so he's had a lot to deal with.

However, in my opinion, Obama is simply the lesser of two evils in a two-party system. He's too moderate for me.

~Hunter

yea after inheriting all the shit bush did. Bush squandered the budget surplus
Bush politicized parts of the government that should be nonpartisan.

Bush lied us into war. Every argument for war against Iraq was a delusion, and hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost as a result.Saddam Hussein was not responsible for 9/11 in any way. He was not a danger to the United States. The Bush administration ignored or dismissed mountains of evidence that showed that Saddam was not building an arsenal of chemical or nuclear weapons. Bush rushed to war without giving diplomacy or weapons inspectors a chance. Later, administration officials blew the cover of a CIA employee whose husband told the truth, and then lied about their involvement.

Bush weakened our democracy. Bush has embraced a theory of dictatorship. Bush, under Vice President Dick Cheney's guidance, encouraged an imperial presidency answerable to no one. Working with a complacent Congress, Bush gutted the constitutional checks and balances that are supposed to keep any part of the government from growing too powerful or too corrupt. In the name of an endless war against an amorphous enemy, he canceled our most fundamental rights of habeas corpus and the right to be free from unreasonable government spying.

Now what Obama has done is
Improve the Odds for Minorities
Continuing the Economic Recovery THAT BUSH DESTROYED IN THE FIRST DAMN PLACE
Stopping Sarah Palin....that one is self-explanatory

And how the hell can you love Obama?
from what he was handed hes done a pretty good job

Bush would never have put America in debt with the Chinese.

Obama DID do that. I don't support Bush as much, yes some of his actions weren't the best, but he atleast kept America out of debt from the Chinese. He hasn't brought back their soldiers, he hasn't increased living standards, he hasn't kept 80% of the promises he made in both election campaigns and probably won't. The general American populace that can vote are not going to vote Obama in for a third term, and by God's will, I hope Obama doesn't stay for a third term. He'll screw up even further with the second Term.

I may not be in America, but I can see what Obama really does. And what he really does is not help America, but will bring it to it's knees. Bush and previous presidents made that country strong and feared. Which was GOOD. Obama will make America look like a place for dancing fairy princesses. Its a strong nation that should be feared. And that is what it was. It should go back to that.

Obama can't even feed his own people, congress blocked many of his attempts to even change the US Constitution. Which I agree will never be changed and never should. Doing that, he should've been removed from Presidency.

Obama can't wave his wand and make US problems go away - Congress, not Obama, has to fix education and the tax system. Congress creates and must approve laws, and Congress is so bipartisan that it's not getting much done.

I really admire his drive for universal health care in america but looking back at him so far he hasn't really done that much for me. I know congress is in part to blame it will just be interesting to see how people will look back at his presidency.

Two points- Obama can't stay in for a third term, there is a two term limit. Second the US constitution has been changed many times, for example the introduction of a two term limit after FDR's 4 term spell. Bush was a goddamn fascist, he said that he wanted to learn latin so he could speak to people in Latin America....:/

You complain about Obama borrowing money from the Chinese and then criticize him for not helping people in america. The whole world has been relying of loans for the last 200 years, if America are running low on money then surely wouldn't borrowing it make sense?

As a man(not the president) he is a role model and someone to look up to, perfect family and always polite and nice. As the President, I'm 50/50 on some of the policies. Such as giving 30 million of our tax dollars to the murderous Zionist state Israel. People say he's doing a bad job with the economy, though no one ever mentions the 757 Billion spent on the Middle Eastern wars(Amount may be higher than that!) caused in the Bush years. I appluade him for saving the Auto industry which is a big American industry. Though I prefer Obama over a McCain or Romney any day.

the deficit's gone up continuously because of the cost of the war and the bush tax cuts, and republicans won't let him undo those tax cuts and loopholes even though they're the only reason we have any deficit at all.

So they would live in poverty, while the richer ones would continue taking away what can be taken? In Imperial Russia people lived like that, and the revolution happened, and the Soviet Union was made. It was a successful movement

Capitalism is working, the whole point of capitalism is that the market tends to dip and rise.

Did you hear about what stalin did in the 30's... oh yeah he killed about 7.5 million people through a wheat famine that he planned to attack Ukraine nationalists.

I know your a commie but the USSR was not successful at all, hence why the people rose up against it, Berlin wall?

People wanted freedom, they wanted the freedom to vote, the freedom to run for office and simply the freedom to do well. The soviet union collapsed the US didn't. Russian was an unsuccessful movement, hence why most Leninist and Marxist strongly resent it

Also,sanctions are always against humanity because there are people who suffer.
Fucking this. What people don't realize is that the people in power don't give a shit about economic sanctions because the sanctions pretty much have no effect on their ability to accomplish their goals. On the other hand sanctions absolutely devastate EVERYONE ELSE under the umbrella of the sanction. I wouldn't doubt that more people have died because of starvation brought about by American sanctions than have died because of American bombs in the most recent Middle Eastern conflict.

I think his heart is in the right place, but his brain may not be. I like the man and his politics. But one can't just command Congress or any other legislative body, I should know I am in county politics. I find the Republicans in the house to totally unreasonable, and I am a fiscal conservative. And the Democrats in the Senate are to divided for my taste, I support that party. In all truth he, Pres. Obama, got dealt a bad hand in the terms of Congress. But a true leader must both smile and wave at crowds and control the party and the two chambers. But all in all, he is a good president... so far.
