Am I the only person who doesn't hate Obama for everything he does or like him for everything he does?

I agree with him on Iran for the most part and trying to make a deal
I agree with him on min wage raise
I agree with him on Pot
I agree with him bringing us out of Iraq
I agree with him on making the military smaller
I agree with him his long term goal for healthcare which I think is a single payer system


I don't agree with him on homosexual marriage
I don't agree with his war on coal
I don't agree with him immigration
I don't agree with him on not drilling for oil here.
I don't agree with him on gun control at all.

Seems I am alone in this..seems like most if not all either love Obama or hate him. I didn't vote for him and probably wouldn't given the chance but I do like some of his policies and views...why can't people find the good in things?

I don't think you're alone.

I could overlook some of my policy differences with him if he weren't so terrible at his job. The lying, incompetence and demonization of anyone who disagrees with him means I am done giving him the benefit of the doubt on anything. He can't be trusted.

I agree with you there,he does lie,and seems a bit incompetent at times etc. But so did Bush. I hated him just as much if not more than Obama. For that matter I think every president was like that...Clinton wasn't so bad IMO.

Not alone. It's a give and take, like what it is with many politicians.

He has proven himself untrustworthy on all of the above.

No, you are not alone. I think the only people who take closed eyes stand are so partisan they would never admit he has both good and bad points.

I agree about bringing us out of Iraq, but that really was started by Bush. Still Obama finished it and that is the important thing. I agree about pot as much as I think it has more side effects and does more damage than many realize. I do not agree with him on Iraq, not at all. They can not be trusted and he is blind sighted if he thinks he can really make a deal with them. I agree on raising the min wage, but not as much as he would like. Yes, it has been years, it is time, but we still all have to remember no one is expected to live on the min wage. It is designed as a starting point for those entering the work place. it is designed for those who have no skills and don't intend on striving for a better life. It is designed for part time workers who just want a little extra cash. It had never been expected to be the same as a living wage. Most sensible people realize this.

not really. The biggest problem with him, as I see it is: 1-his ego is just totally out of hand and he thinks he can do anything: 2-he absolutely will not admit he might be wrong about anything and 3-, which is the most important one to me: he is probably the most unprepared and inexperienced Pres. we have ever elected. He reminds me, most of the time of a spoiled brat who thinks he can always get his own way. That probably has to do with his being pampered by his grandparents.

My God, none of this is correct and utterly absurd.

Your blind loyalty never fails to amaze me. I'm sorry, but I agree with point one - a good part of Obama's issues stem from his uncontrollable ego. Cripes, right this minute he is proposing to just ignore the constitution and thinks he can forgo congress - including members of his own party and some of what he is doing will cost some of them elections. It is like only his election matters. On point two - not only won't he admit when he is wrong, he will flat out deny about what he has said even when it is on video. For point three - that is a lot of the reason we have the problems associated with points one and two.
