Between a 1 and a 10, how big a disappointment is Obama to you?

[kingblaze84]

Oh yeah, and I spun this thread off from H-Rap.....I gota give credit where credit is due.

 

[Swiffness!]

10

nigga promised to give me a billion dollas

still waitin on that, Barack

plus, I heard he work for The Feds......

 

[ThaChozenWun]

5, Im glad he got health care reform passed and the wall street shit. I think he caves in under pressure though, making sure you get something passed is good, but throwing away half the bill to please rich white guys aint the way it should be done.

 

[shootemwon]

This number system is arbitrary and has no realistic roof to it. No matter how disappointed you've been, surely he could do something to make us even more disappointed.

shame on all of you for thinkin a politician was gonna make your life better

1 because I got some sense.

 

[perspective@100]

For me, it's a 7......I am happy healthcare reform passed, but we all know how I feel about this dumb war that is still going on in Afghanistan.....and why the flying fuck are we still in Iraq?? Whatever happened to "Mission Accomplished"? LMAO.....damn, I thought Obama was gonna bring full on change, but we're still fighting two meaningless wars now.....is this George W Bush's third term?

And where are the creative ideas for fixing the economy?? Why not legalize weed?? Where's the bailouts for all the hospitals and schools closing down due to budget cuts??

We got billions.....nope.....I mean TRILLIONS of dollars to fight wars but not enough to save jobs in the USA? Something is wrong here.....

Aside from these things, I can't complain too much. It's nice having a black president and all, but that warm, fuzzy feeling I felt on November 4th, 2008 really seems like a distant memory now. I give him a C- as far as him being a president so far.

And yeah, I spun this thread off from H-Rap and his 1-100 thread.....gota give credit where credit is due.

Ni99a I sell weed for a living you tryn'a put me outta bussiness? Fuck that!

 

[mr_exclusive]

For all you people that are happy that Obamacare passed, I'd like to know your reasons for thinking America will be better off. Please help me understand. Thanks in advance...

 

[independentsoundlab]

anyway,

fuck the government..

 

[Jumaane]

The Wars has been going on for 10 years.. Obama didn't start it. if he Ends it it means that we've admitted defeat.

 

[youngfresh23]

I'm very disappointed by him seems like all he cares about is maken sure the big corporations dont fail.. i feel like i wasted on a vote on him

 

[P-Dogg77]

You guys expect him to be the Second Coming , he can't fulfill all wishes but he is at least trying to do something unlike Bush or any other Republican reincarnation of him.

Not sure, those are very complex situations you are talking about ofcourse. The majority of the country did not want healthcare reform passed, and they forced it upon us, when he was in campaign mode he was all "i work for the people ill do what you guys want".

I dont understand the "its nice that hes black"...... what are you talking about are black people better or something? im for equality, and judging by charactor.

How exactly did you want us to respond to thousands of our people being slaughtered though on 911? just do nothing? My personal opinion is that we should have used better intelligence, and been more precise in finding exactly where the terrorists were. You gotta offer a better idea not just shut down one idea.

I dont know, i think the more he takes alot of money from one class and just gives it to another class, the less entrepeneurship and innovation thrives. Because people just figure "i dont have to do anything Obama is already just giving me the successfull guy's money" I believe in responsability for your own actions. Think about it, if there is a rich bussiness owner, and Obama takes most of his money, now that guy is going to have to fire people instead of hiring more. It hurts job creation.

^what this guy said

but seriously look at how fucked up the country is so we still gotta give him more time. at least shits been done.

 

[86 jordan]

7, he lies great

From the campaign said he would stop wars, show transparent government, hire no lobbyist ect.

He just a politician regardless of color. But still better then McCain so he was the better of a bad decision to make

SMH....what a bunch of ignorant bullshit. If Bush was re-elected, why not Obama? Well the economy is likely to be worse in 2012 than it was in 2004, which always plays into presidential elections. Also, despite Obama's tremendous voter organization and expansion of the electorate, he benefited greatly from first time voters and young people, who are still historically unreliable for the next time around. With Bush 4 years removed, Democrats won't have as much traction reminding voters of the failures of W's presidency, which in 2008 gave an advantage to any Democratic candidate. The left is disillusioned because it turns out that Obama is not a progressive president, and centrists/independents (who, despite acting superior to those firmly rooted in ideology, are usually idiots) are buying into the nonsense talking points that the national debt is perpetuating our economic woes.

With all that said, if I had to predict the outcome of the 2012 election right now (and that's really impossible to do with any type of certainty this far out) I'd say it's more likely than not that Obama does get re-elected. The opposition's outrage is peaking too early. It won't be sustained for another 2 years, and the economy should begin to improve (though if Obama is sincere in his appeal to the deficit hawks, things may not get better for a very long time). The GOP is at odds with its own radical wing, which will complicate the primary process, in which the GOP doesn't have a clear star capable of actually taking on the presidency. So there...plenty of reasons for Obama to get re-elected, but also plenty of reasons why he might not. All of these reasons have one thing in common though: They're not retarded and meaningless like "if bush did it.. why not him?"
