  1. My personal opinion is that Obama has done great things for this country and he is an exceptional man as well as a beyond exceptional president. I really don’t know why we are concerning our selves with yesterday’s news when our country is about to be handed to “Billary” or “Drumpf”. What about our children? Huh? I know when every one of you had a child you promised your child and yourself they wouldn’t have to face the same struggles you did. So why, then? Why are we standing by as a less than exceptional man who knows nothing about foreign policy or anything else for that matter and “Billary” run for a presidency they are both not exceptional enough to fill? So I say, stop trash talking a wonderful president who has yet to do something as stupid as presidents in the past, and fight the future!

  2. President Obama is definitely the most disappointing president in my lifetime and once the expected downward GDP revision comes at the end of the July, one of the worst presidents of all time .. and I say that as a former supporter. He was given an awesome hand in foreign policy with the Iraq War won, Al Qaeda decimated and pretty much relative peace and minimal worldwide terror and he absolutely squandered it due to gross incompetence and misplaced tolerance of jihadism. I still, after trying very hard, can not find one foreign policy success his entire administration.
    He was given a bad economic hand but has done nothing to improve the overall situation. I am much worse off due to heavy healthcare expenses that I have had to incur due to the very high Obamacare deductibles and I am ready for a change .. as is the country.

  3. Obama has done good things and bad things. He has made some impressive progress with developments such as Obamacare, maligned the status of gun control in America, rescinded his proposal to attack Syria, wants to make changes to the post-secondary education system, made progress at climate Summits, taken troops out of Afhganistan, reduced the national debt, and helped to finalize the Iran nuclear deal. There are problems with all these projects, but he has contributed to at least making the public aware of them, as well as making a many positive changes. However, he has also authorized more drone strikes than Bush, gone after marijuana dispensaries even though he said he wouldn’t, prosecuted whistle-blowers even though he said he wouldn’t, approved of the NSA government surveillance program for citizens of the United States, proposed attacking Syria in the first place, removed not just troops from Afghanistan, but also foreign aid, causing further turmoil between the Sunnis and Shiites, not done much to change gun control in America, organized Obamacare poorly, not done much to change the education system, not reduced debt or helped the environment enough, failed to address that Islam is a part of the problem with ISIS, and didn’t fix many problems that may become more potent with the Iran nuclear deal in the future. Again, like all Presidents, he is a politician, so he has to try to please everyone, which makes it impossible to do everything right, and makes it hard to be completely honest about certain issues. He is also human, so while I’m sure he has good intentions, he sometimes makes mistakes, and his are more costly than those of almost all other people.
