Obama could have been a great president, if:

1) He had sincerely sought bipartisan solutions to health care programs.

2) Went ahead with his promised WPA type jobs creation to fix crumbling infrastructure.

3) Been more demanding on auto companies bankruptcies.

4) Been stronger with our trade partners.

5) Faced the immigration problems head on.


These are my opinions of his greatest failures as a leader, what do you think?

 

He was totally out of his league. And proved it.

 

8 years of the city planer cost the US tax payers $10 trillion dollars.

And nothing to show for it....

 

Only thing he succeeded at was proving he's a Moslem, and hates America.

 

Anybody else notice that not one liberal has come forth on this thread. Guess they didn’t care for him

 

They go completely silent when it's pointed out that he spent more money in 8 years
than ALL OTHER Presidents combined. From Washington to Bush. ALL ADDED UP.

 

Someone is confused.

1) He had sincerely sought bipartisan solutions to health care programs....''Elections have consequences.''

2) Went ahead with his promised WPA type jobs creation to fix crumbling infrastructure.....LOL....''there are no shovel ready jobs.''

3) Been more demanding on auto companies bankruptcies.....“Chrysler has repaid every dime and more of what it owes American taxpayers for their support during my presidency.”

4) Been stronger with our trade partners....As he heads for the exits, Obama is engaged in a frenzy of regulation, intended to hamstring American businesses and reward green groups and unions.

5) Faced the immigration problems head on.....Catch and release.

Obama is a Globalist...plain and simple.

 

Obama's problem is he is not sincere...never has been.

 

OH BUT YES HE WAS....although many people did not know where his sincerity was.

 

I think you make good points. You must have been learning from the Master of Facts.

Sorry, that's a bad joke. I really do agree with you here.

 

Except that on the same night as his inauguration Republican leaders got together and decided they would spend the next four to eight years opposing anything Obama was for so that he wouldn't be able to get anything done.

That was actually tried. Remember the phrase "Shovel ready projects"? But when Republicans took control of Congress they refused to fund anything.

Once the pattern and precedent was set by Bush that one was a little tough. Keep in mind though that auto companies paid those loans back. The banks Bush bailed out? Not so much.

You mean like having a tantrum during a G7 meeting, demanding the re-admittion of a country that was kicked out for invading a neighbor and then flying off to have a bromance with a murdering communist dictator? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have liked that. If the guy doing it had been named Obama.

Kinda not his bad. Congress did try to get things fixed, but Republicans had decided, well, see response to #1

I think your only two problems with Obama were that he was a Democrat and a black man.

 

I'll take Obama back any day over dubya...Fuck, that man was a moron.

 

Lets hope...they are both done being in politics.

 

@Valspar "Could you show how he revived any support from Repubicans during either his first or second terms? I cannot recall anything other than one obstructionist move after another."

No problem, half of the bills that he signed had some Republican support, the Recovery Act and the Dodd-Frank are two such notable ones. After Wiki-leaks he lost both the Republican and Independent support.

 

You do recall that the Recovery Act was signed in November, '08 and half of its funds were dispersed before Obama's inauguration, right?

And Dodd-Frank was a response to the banking collapse that nearly wiped out public support for the Republican party and was their Mia culpa to try and regain some of that while pretending they had nothing to do with it and it was all Bush and Cheney 's fault, right?

And that he still had enough Indie support to overcome Republican intransigence and win a second term, right?

So where was all of that conservative love and support from the Right?

 

I got to hand it to you.

You sure did an excellent job at twisting the facts here.

 

Obama and Hillary going down in a fake plane crash anytime now !

 

Again, you fail to read the question posed and the response given.
