Your Honest Appraisal of Obama.

[OKTexas]

Incomplete - He and his minions are still going about the fundamental transformation of this country, mostly through our regulatory structure. He has been hell bent on the destruction of the country from day one and nothing has changed.

 

[BDBoop]

I honestly believe I could do a better job than Obama.

Of course you could. DO share how you would get legislation past the do-nothing Congress. Or are you assuming they wouldn't be a problem in your world.

I would place ideas that are superior to Obama's on the table, and defend them. I have provided many of those ideas here on this forum.

Yes. And then Congress would refuse to bring them up for a vote. Oh! Too bad, so sad.

I think anyone who believes Obama's desire is to destroy America is a fool whose entire belief system is based on a false premise.

When I was growing up I was taught that if you criticize they way someone is working, you better be able to do a better job.

Again, to be fair, both Reagan and Clinton were able to work very effectively with an opposition Congress. Most every President is to some degree, including Bush.

Question: Is Congress the problem, or Obama? I guess it is in the eye of the beholder.

I would say if you want to work effectively with anyone, it is probably not a good idea to go around the Country talking shit about them 24/7. It is probably not a good idea to completely shut the people you are supposed to be working with out of the most important piece of domestic legislation in 50 years. Constantly publicly trashing the people you are supposed to be working with really sounds kind of stupid when you think about it.

When will you be throwing your hat in the ring? I'll vote for you. Even if you do turn out to be the son of Sam.

Like Harry Reid refusing to bring a budget up for a vote for 5 years? Like Harry Reid refusing to ever bring a House bill up for a vote in the Senate?

Sorry, that card doesn't play.

News Flash!
Government shutdown over budget during Clinton's presidency.

The political system is way to complicated to do that.

I am sorry you cannot follow the conversation between g5000 and I.

Now go play in traffic.

 

[Moonglow]

I am not nearly as articulate as Obama, but I do have a conscious, I generally don't lie, and I want to see all people succeed...not just certain voting blocs that might be more inclined to vote for me or my party.

[Oldstyle]

Can't grade him based on the rhetoric following the letter.

Also, I have no desire to leap into a lion's den at this point in time.

Same here. The rhetoric is too emotional.

I believe that Obama seriously miscalculated the degree of resistance he would face from Republicans and right wingers. He advanced in his career with the protection of institutions, colleagues, and social acceptance. He was unprepared for the "real world" of America outside of liberal cities and universities.

He is similar to many other "successful" Americans--their success often comes because they were helped by other connected individuals. He was wrong when he assumed that the world was similar to his peers. In modern politics, negotiation no longer works.

So what you're basically saying is that Barack Obama has spent a life time being rewarded with advancement because of the affirmative action cultures of liberal cities and universities and was completely unprepared for the job as President?

 

[OriginalShroom]

I don't buy into the belief system that Obama deliberately set out to destroy America. I think he is just an idiot savant.
.

I do.

Remember his "fundamentally transform America" comment?

He wanted to destroy what America was and make it into the Socialists Dream State.

 

[ron4342]

F minus.

This is exactly why I pay no attention to anything you post. Obama could be saving your life by carrying you out of a burning building and you would be condemning him at the top of your lungs. You have a closed mind.

Translation. You're wrong, you won't admit it, and cannot defend your position.

 

[Callas_Dowboys]

I gave him a D.

I'm not especially partisan but he is just horribly suited for the job. He's been given a very healthy amount of protection from the media but has still managed to bungle nearly everything he has touched. The worst part is his term has really been free of "external crises" that plagued his predecessor. He keeps creating his own crises though through horrible policy and even worse leadership/management.

Obama reminds me of Milli Vanilli

That is basically how I see him as well. I call him our first affirmative action President. Everyone has tried to advance this guy over the years, but he is an empty suit that just wasn't up to the job.

The President is the Chief Executive. Executives run things. Obama has never even run a lemonade stand. He is a low level academic who wrote a couple of books about himself. That's about it.

 

[Zander]

The problem with Obama is that he want's nothing to do with actual LEADING and Governing the country. He gets in front of the podium, reads his lines and goes home. He thinks his job is done once he is done speaking/reading his lines. He's Chauncey Gardiner.....a nincompoop. Obama is a weed in the garden.......
