Great president? Or our greatest president?

Clinton was an excellent president but he wasn't fighting an entire political party intent on destroying the United States.

Obama has been a great president - in spite of the open treason on the right.

Considering that the majority of what you posted was crap, I will say one of the WORST, if not THE worst presidents of all time. And I voted for him the first time.

No where near. GW Bush the worst or nearly the worst president we've had. Obama is way, way above GW in performance. Honest people agree to that. Presidential historians agree to that.

Funnily enough he ranks one spot lower than Bush....

And neither are low enough in my opinion.


Measuring Obama against the great presidents

He does not rank lower than Bush.

According to the experts he does....Sorry...

A survey with only self selected respondents isn't even accurate enough to figure a percentage of accuracy. Nothing more than political masturbation.

Two of our worst presidents - W and Ronnie - judged better than almost anyone is a joke.

50 Things Barack Obama Has Done Wrong

John Hawkins |

Aug 09, 2014 <---

Why would anyone dislike Barack Obama? Could it be because of what he’s done in the White House? As you get a refresher on the national nightmare that has been Barack Obama’s presidency, keep in mind that the biggest difficulty in compiling it was limiting it to just 50 examples of corruption, dishonesty, and incompetence.

1) Because of Obama’s policies since he became President, 11,472,000 Americans have left the work force.

2) “Fewer Americans are at work today than in April 2000, even though the population since then has grown by 31 million.” — Mortimer Zuckerman

3) The number of Americans on welfare has hit record highs.

4) A record 20% of Americans were on food stamps in 2013.

5) The almost 11 million Americans getting disability payments is now approaching the population of Cuba

6) Our nation lost its AAA credit rating because Obama is spending so much money.

7) Not only was Cash for Clunkers a wasteful government program that “cost $1.4 million for every job it created and did little to reduce carbon emissions,” destroying the “clunkers” helped dramatically jack up the cost of used cars for the rest of the country.

8) After BP had a huge oil spill in the Gulf, Obama not only bungled the clean-up process, he slowed oil production from other companies that had done nothing wrong which led to higher oil prices.

9) Obama has helped drive up the cost of gas by blocking the Keystone Pipeline.

10) When he was running for office in 2008, Obama claimed that, “Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” He lied.

11) Through 2013, the Obama Administration had imposed new regulations on businesses that cost 46 billion dollars a year.

12) Taxpayers lost 25 billion dollars on Obama’s bailout of General Motors and Chrysler. Chrysler isn’t even an American company any more. It’s now owned by an Italian company, Fiat.

13) When he was running for office, Obama called Bush “unpatriotic” for adding so much to the debt and promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. Yet, the national debt is up 7 trillion dollars since Obama became President. That’s more debt than all U.S. Presidents from George Washington through Bill Clinton combined.

14) Obama’s administration gave guns to Mexican cartels that were used to murder hundreds of Mexicans and border agent Brian Terry. The Obama Administration has refused to cooperate with the investigation or hold anyone accountable for that illegal behavior.
15) The NSA has spied on Americans under Obama.

16) Under Obama, the CIA spied on the Senate.

17) Obama’s campaign contributors at Solyndra were handed 535 million dollars of taxpayer money that the Obama Administration knew they would never be able to pay back before they gave it to them.

18) The IRS targeted Obama’s political enemies including Christian groups, pro-Israel groups, and most prominently, Tea Party groups. The Obama Administration has refused to cooperate with the investigation or hold anyone accountable for the illegal behavior.

19) Numerous donors to Mitt Romney were audited by the IRS after giving him large contributions.

20) When the EPA and IRS were asked to provide emails requested by Congress as part of an investigation into their illegal activities, they’ve claimed over and over again to have lost the information because of “hard drive crashes.” Given that it’s quite easy to back up a hard drive and that they’re required by law to retain that information, it seems likely that they’re habitually destroying evidence to hide their illegal activities.

21) Veterans received poor health care and even died because of the incompetence and cover-ups of Obama’s VA.

22) Even Barney Frank admits Barack Obama shamelessly lied to the American people to get Obamacare passed – and lie, he did. He promised that Americans could keep their insurance plans, that they could keep their doctors, and that Obamacare would save the average family $2500 per year. Not only were all of those lies, Obama knew they were lies when he made those promises.


23) Barack Obama has broken the law repeatedly by making at least unilateral changes to Obamacare.

24) Obama has been illegally trying to force Christians to pay for abortifacients via Obamacare.

25) Obamacare has been a disaster that cost millions their insurance and sent health care costs spiraling into the stratosphere.

5 Obama Accomplishments & Successes Republicans Have To Pretend Never Happened

Proved trickle-down economics are wrong, again

Proved we can expand health insurance coverage and shrink the deficit.

Proved that the government can kick-start a clean-energy revolution.

Proved we can regulate Wall Street without killing the stock market.

Proved that we should give diplomacy a chance.

Obama will be remembered in history for great accomplishments

The Iran deal: Time will reveal if the deal worked, not today’s talking/tweeting heads. What cannot be in dispute is this was a momentous initiative, a gutsy political risk, a diplomatic success and, potentially, a giant step in defusing a long-ticking time bomb.
• Obamacare: In the midst of the worst economy since the Great Depression, Obama delivered one of the most important domestic programs since the New Deal. Only LBJ’s Great Society laws compare. Obamacare has survived two challenges in the Supreme Court and constant, kabuki-style congressional votes to repeal. It’s now off life support. Key goals are being met. It will evolve and improve. One day it will be taken for granted and people will say, “Keep the government out of my Obamacare.”

• The financial meltdown: Obama inherited it, then managed the recovery to the degree possible in the global economy. The recovery has been steady, though slow. The worst-case predictions didn’t happen. He began to reverse the deregulation of the financial industry. He delivered a significant Asian trade deal. Yet, few give Obama much credit.

• The first: Becoming the first black president is itself an epic triumph. Obama doesn’t get much goodwill for that any more. We properly canonize Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King. Of Obama, we ask, “What have you done for me lately?” That’s fair; he’s president. He doesn’t ask for credit for being the first black one. He and his family are at risk every day, and we take their courage for granted.

• Dignity and honesty: Obama’s administration has been as free of corruption and, well, peccadillo as any in memory. It’s the first two-term presidency not to be derailed by scandal since Eisenhower. A few will stay in paranoid lather about Benghazi or Fast and Furious, but those pseudo-scandals don’t compare to Watergate, Iran-Contra, Bill Clinton’s carnal antics or the phony evidence used to justify attacking Iraq.

Obama has weathered a recession, invisible racism, a reckless Republican Congress, a lily-livered Democratic Party, attacks from the richest pressure groups ever (super PACs) and a 24/7, ADHD press corps under existential pressure to deliver page views and Nielsen ratings. He has done it with the “No Drama Obama” style that befits the office.
Obama isn’t a performer like Reagan or a preacher like Clinton. He’s head over heart, cool over warm. Yet, he did his pastoral duties after Sandy Hook, the Boston Marathon and Charleston. He wasn’t a catalyst for same-sex marriage but nourished the culture that made it possible.

Mr. President, on behalf of an ungrateful nation, thank you.

Great president? Or our greatest president?

Don't worry. Bill will be there to advise Hillary. I guess if he can't have another term, that's the next best thing.

thats your opinion ludd.....MANY think your party is destroying the country.....i feel both parties are bringing this country to its knees....

 

[Roudy]

Treason would be blaming the murder of your ambassador and four Americans on a YouTube video, and continually lying to the American people and the victim's family about it. Obama and Hillary belong behind bars for that.

Still waiting for a wingnut - like yourself - to prove it wasn't because of the video.

Especially after one of the attackers admitted it was because of the video.

 

[Roudy]

What?! Even Hillary and Obama admitted it wasn't. The entire country knows that it wasn't. These two are criminals and liars and should be behind bars.

No, its not an "opinion". Its documented fact. Even the Repubs have said they set out to destroy Obama and the country.

And the Repub witch hunts proved Secty Clinton was not responsible, that the Repubs cut security and refused the help when it was requested and that the Secty of State does not handle embassy security at all. Period.

March/ April 2012 Obama’s Top 50 Accomplishments

and

President Obama Has Done a LOT! A List of 321 Accomplishments so far, With Citations


Note that both of these lists are older and he has done much more since both were compiled.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Also ignored by the right is that President Obama has actually strengthened the US military by moving it into the 21st century.

RWs want to waste money on tanks we will never use and would be parked next to the hundreds that we already don't need or use and planes that don't fly. They want to carpet bomb everybody, which would be more wasting of money and would not accomplish anything except killing innocents.

Repubs want the same but they actually have a reason for wanting more 19th century wars - they enrich the 1%.

Sure, it was the video! Everyone knows that except the beast and her family. Oh, and the entire Obama administration.

Obama’s Legacy Is Already Collapsing
by John Thune January 19, 2016

Last week, President Obama delivered his final State of the Union address. In the lead-up to the speech, there was a lot of discussion about the nature of the president’s legacy. Less discussed, however, was that most of the president’s so-called legacy may not outlast his presidency, since most of his supposed achievements have never been enacted into law.


Early on in his presidency, it became clear that the president didn’t have much interest in working with Congress in a bipartisan manner, and after losing large majorities in the House and Senate, he made it clear that he did not want to listen to the American people, who had overwhelmingly rejected his far-left agenda. His determination to circumvent Congress and ignore the American people has not only been an affront to the democratic process and an attack on the balance of power our Founding Fathers envisioned, it has also failed as a strategy for securing long-lasting achievements.

As a result of his contempt for Congress and his unwillingness to engage with the legislative process, the vast majority of the items that make up the president’s “legacy” — including the national energy tax, executive amnesty, and the flawed Iran deal — are not actual laws. Instead, the president’s legacy is largely made up of regulations, executive actions, and executive agreements, most of which can be easily overturned by the next administration.
