So, I'll admit, I pretty much know next to nothing about politics.
I just want to know why people think Obama is such a bad president.
He seems to me like a decent president. Like a 6-7/10.
He got bin laden and saved us from the brink of economic depression. So, what has he done to become so vilified in your eyes?

he was a bad father
Honestly we've had worse presidents. Obama is just the worst president of since Kennedy, so for a lot of people, he's the worst president of their lifetime.
nigger
He wasn't awful but it is really hard not to have a net positive economy after a recession has ended.
He and his people race-baiting are the cause of shit like BLM existing.
Obama is the greatest of all time actually
He is legit the worst and most corrupt president ever
Did you somehow miss or already forget about the NSA shit he just passed? Most of his presidency is marked by either inaction or petulant shit at the end of his term.
>He is legit the worst and most corrupt president ever
Can you explain why?
Cash for clunkers and he killed Pontiac
>t. Red blooded fly over resident
And OWS before that. We're still stuck with their facespace leftovers.
He tried to sneak an internet censorship bill in within the Trans-Pacific Partnership that would allow American companies to regulate your internet speed on their sites, and provide the means for mass censorship even of websites they don't own.
nothing
one of the best presidents in recent memory
no scandals
family man
helped drag the nation out of an downward economic spiral
tough on terrorism
he literally hit all the checkmarks for a job well done
he will catch flack though because for 6 of his 8 years he had to deal with a congress who's literal only goal was to make sure he would be vilified and not be allowed to pass any legislation
he is gonna be made to look like a bad president because Mitch Mcconnell is a huge fucking piece of shit
...
Equality no matter what
...
...
...
Hes a weak leader and the military hates him.
Does anyone else hate ted talks, or is it just me?
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Labour participation rate fall steadily under Obama's presidency?
he's not. The Republicans have to believe he is because they are so ashamed of W being the worst, so their Rupert Murdoch propaganda machine runs 24/7 convincing all their Dumbfuckistanis he is destroying Murrica.
His biggest negative is Obama care which is an absolute mess but the only real fix for Healthcare in America is a complete overhaul hich isn't likely the way the Healthcare business is run and making $$$
...
/thread
His unlawful way of going over Congress to pass legislation
Some examples of things Congress never approved of but Obama did anyway
>Iran Deal
>Bergdahl terrorist trade
>Environmental Act
>Obamacare
>Internet Handover
>Disobeying Treaty with Russia by deploying troops within unlawful territory
>Corporate Bailouts (ones that gave his campaign money)
>General Motors bailout
>Arctic Drilling Ban
Its actually surprising that he didn't get impeached for the amount of unlawful power usage.
He lied about bin laden and the economic recovery.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and Syria.
why?
not an argument
are not America's problem
notice all the recent racism in the country?
>thanks obama
also, he didn't get us out of the depression, three rounds of quantitative easing did. money has become worthless, look at the price of housing, vintage automobiles, and fine art.
dow is super inflated. just wait till everyone loses half their 401k's again and just blame it on Trump
Pretty much this. Not to mention every pol-tard and The_Donald-fag who rips on Obamacare doesn't actually understand why they are doing so. Just following the rest of the sheep. The truth is that it was a step in the right direction given how fucked the system is in burgerstan
Then why did he bomb them you dumb fucking leaf? Fuck you here's your you cunt
newfag or shill I'll tell you why and source it with liberals sources.
Obama used the FBI to bust up the beloved lefty "Occupy" movement.
theguardian.com
Obama had charges dropped against HRC's Libyan arms dealer
politico.com
Obama didn't save the economy, he just borrowed heavily to let it be somebody else's problem
economist.com
Obama's FP and proxy wars have been nothing but a nightmare.
theatlantic.com
that's just a few of his failures from liberal sources, once you get outside of that bubble you'll see how he was a total fuck up on an epic scale
wow it's almost like the executive office was given certain powers to do such things by design
woah...
He hasn't as much created new jobs, as people have just been retiring faster than new ones joining the work force.
It would have happened no matter what, even with retarded Obamaleaf as president.
Only president to give in to terrorist demands.
Do you HAVE to like a President? A lot of people hated and still hate George W. Bush, nobody is guilting them like we're getting guilted over Obama.
and one more from the from a writer at the commie Huffpo. Barry destroyed the democratic party (which I think is great but you're a total fuck up if you destroy your own party)
thehill.com
anymore
gosh its almost like no matter what he tried to do they wouldn't work with him so he was relegated to actually just ignoring them as a body in an attempt to better a nation and world that was in desperate need of fixing
gosh darn obama going over congresses head when they would have stonewalled and bitched about anything he tried to do for 4 years while people are starving and dying
it makes sense a leaf is famous on Sup Forums for shitposting
Such as the first two years he was in office, right?
>Kennedy
>bad
He created over 15 million jobs actually.
Yep
So you admit the clfpr is falling because of retiring boomers yet the right wing retard piss-leader thinks the unemployment rate is 40%.
Baby boomers were retiring so that's natural
they hate obamacare but love the aca
are you still in recovery from jon stewart retiring
...
>tough on terrorism
>supported terrorists in syria, egypt, libya, turkey
...in the hospitality sector
to kill terrorists
in all sectors
...
Stewart is an old jew
Obama was a good president
both facts
Including the hospital in Afghanistan? The one where, in a cruel twist of irony, he killed another nobel peace prize recipient?
They did approve of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise it would have never been passed. The bank bailouts happened under Bush's watch and the GM bailout also started under Bush.
And the office of the Presidency has some powers and he was working with a do nothing Congress
>He got bin laden and saved us from the brink of economic depression
soooo he retrieved a cia asset (is there hard proof he's even dead?) and was in office for a natural upturn in the economy
ya it is actually
...
He's not responsible for stopping every single problem in the Middle East which have decades of underlying issues, sometimes centuries, that he has no ability to control.
Yeah the economy does naturally better when Democrats are in charge.
>He got bin laden
That was mostly credited to the Bush administration
>He seems to me like a decent president
He definitely wouldn't be considered good
no its not leaf
you get 1 point because i fucked up my greentext
thats the point of SEPARATION OF POWERS
not SUBSIDIARYS OF A POWER
what's with the obamafaggots in this thread?
you have to understand right wing retards can't wait to squander trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives over their precious middle east
Don't listen to "Obama leaf"
He's got his head so far up Obamas arse its not funny.
Basically within 8 years added $10 trillion to fed debt.
Despite the claim he created all those jobs, they where majority part time jobs.
The economy never pulled out of recession, the only thing holding it up atm is literally faith.
Much like the '08 collapse, all it will take is for someone within the banking industry to put the dots together and start trying to sell their shares, which will cause a crash that will be as bad, if not worse than the great depression.
There is the $300+ million he spent on all his vacations.
Look at how many wars he has caused, Increased the usage of indiscriminate drone warfare.
Syria, Libya, Lebanon
Benghazi, selling MANPADS to terrorists and getting his diplomats killed.
Though it was Hillary as Secretary of state, he had to know what she was doing.
Considering his shilling toward her during the election.
Increase of Hostilities toward Russia.
Iran deal, then basically just applied Sanctions immediately afterward.
Funding of ISIS and various other known terrorist organizations.
Lost several billions worth of American armour and Weapons to said terrorist organizations.
They're basically the ones off the top of my head so far. There's still alot more that I'm sure others will add to.
If you need source, Just use google, CBF providing all the links for the amount of shit he's done
You don't have an argument do you? He bombed 7 countries and killed hundreds, possibly thousands of people. He's a cunt and a shit president.
See above, fuckhead. He didn't have to bomb 7 countries. That he is responsible for.
libya
Obama is not too different from any other president before him. But he was legendary for consistently playing golf, setting race relations back at least 50 years, and pushing the country even further towards socialism.
As a post-FDR American president, however, he's automatically bad for supporting the private central international banking cartel and using a jingoistic neoconservative foreign policy.
In addition, he has been absolutely terrible for our rights and freedoms, empowering Big Brother and furthering the divide between government and people.
really gets your noggin joggin
STOP FEEDING THE FUCKING SHILLS MORONS
exactly, but you know what his sycophants won't listen even if you offered them proof from sources they trust. the brainwashing is deep
>tough on terrorism
Yeah must be tough for them being armed by king bongo.
are you referring to the arab spring or something?
you get that there is a difference between a terrorist organization and a revolutionary movement yes?
also
he killed Osama Bin Laden
something his predecessor started two wars trying to do
I mean I don't know if you are being sarcastic but yes that is quite literally the point of congress
see we have three branches of government who are supposed to work together
when one of them is actively hostile towards one and refuses to work with them shit gets fucked up as we have seen
please realize that it was house republicans that started this whole mess
not the executive branch
>That was mostly credited to the Bush administration
holy shit right wing retards are a trip
bush said he didn't care about bin laden 6 months after he kept america safe on 9/11
youtube.com
typical right wing retards. always taking credit for the accomplishments of Democrats.
>to work with
>Honestly we've had worse presidents. Obama is just the worst president of since Kennedy, so for a lot of people, he's the worst president of their lifetime.
Nah.... Boosh was far worse than Obama. Obama was just weak and didn't accomplish much. Boosh royally fucked our foreign policy and created a never ending war on camel fuckers that Trump is going to have to clean up.
Protected bankers after 2008 mortgage scam
Gave away $16T in taxpayer money to banks
Supported disastrous QE/ZIRP policies
Doubled the debt
Trained, funded and armed ISIS/Al-Qaeda
Kept US at war illegally in 7+ different conflicts
Is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths in those conflicts
Made domestic propaganda by the government legal
Expanded surveillance state
Was caught shipping guns to Mexican cartels
Approved many domestic false flag operations
Opened borders / didn't enforce immigration laws
Did NOTHING to help black people (only made it worse)
Spent $65,000 on "hot dogs" flown from Washington
I can continue...
How many of those are actually well paying careers? How many are part time? How many are government jobs? How many Were actually created by republicans but the policy took time to change things?
If you see a Canadian flag posting a lot of graphs in this thread, do not read or respond to him. He is an insane pedophile. We are currently catfishing him via multiple dating site accounts to get him arrested.
Proofs?
This.
how much of a right wing retard do you have to be to think that the national debt was $6.5T when Obama took office?
no there separated to avoid abuse of power which is exactly what they did
i dont like that the president i like was blocked from doing things so i reinterpret the constitution
Highest us of executive orders ever.
>president
>in charge of private sector jobs
>saved us from the brink of economic depression
An economy like that of the US will naturally bounce back from a recession. The problem is, life sucks for most people while that bounce back takes place, so the job of the president in such a situation is to try and speed things up so that as few people as possible lose their jobs, homes, cars, livelihood, etc.
Obama's failure is that instead of helping the recovery along, he has stagnated it at every turn with over-regulation, policies that are antagonistic to businesses both big and small, and of course Obamacare, just to name a few broad areas. There is no reason that after a recession like the one in 2008, an economy like the US's should still be as slow as it is so many years later. The GDP is embarrassingly anemic, workforce participation is STILL stuck hovering at a little over 62% after it took a dive from the recession, more people are trapped working part time instead of full time than ever before, etc.
There are only two parts of the economy that even look good on paper: (1) the unemployment rate is down, but census data shows that's only because the size of the American workforce has SHRUNK in the past eight years (the unemployment rate only measures how much of the *available workforce* is unemployed, hence the stagnant workforce participation rate mentioned earlier, which wouldn't be the case if jobs were actually plentiful), and (2) the price of gas is way down, which has nothing to do with Obama's policies since it's a result of Saudia Arabia, and to a lesser extent, domestic oil production in the PRIVATE sector.
Quite simply, this "recovery" is an absolute joke, but Obama will never take responsibility, 'cause whenever people ask him why things still suck, he basically says, "Well, I guess Bush's mess was worse than we expected, and thank goodness I came along, because things would be even worse without me," which is an absolute lie, but his supporters eat it up.
This leaf is a good leaf. I hope he escapes the rake
But economies always go through peaks and troughs, he just happened to come in at the end of a trough
...
Republicans crash the economy.
Democrats thrive the economy.
yeah and it was bill clinton who created
sub-prime mortgages anyway
>a bad president.
In the short term "during our lives" sense he was a weak president, in the long term "for the greater good of america" sense he was a good president.
>revolutionary movement
Wow, dead body fucking muslim brothers, gülenists and ISIS are revolutionaries now.
95% full time Obama job creation.
Republicans did fuck all but try to get in Obama's way.
It's the Obama economy.
