I don't think it has anything to do with who or what President Obama is, but rather it is because his policies and perspectives in contrast to those that Republicans favor make painfully clear how callous, self-centered and avaricious GOP policies and perspectives are.

Because he's a liar, he's obviously unqualified, he's lazy, he's divisive, he doesn't take responsibility for anything, his lifelong history of acquaintances, he's incompetent, he's a great politician who is always campaigning, he lacks the leadership of even the most lower level manager, he jumps on every crisis to try and base new policies on it, lack of transparency, he loves his celebrity more than he cares about America.

Being black has nothing to do with it....there are numerous black conservatives that I would rather see as potus.

The only people listing reasons above as the reasons to hate Obama are you left wing kooks..

Hence the thread

It has to stick in the craw of the "right" to claim all the negatives of Obama and then have the Country reject your best and brightess not once, but twice.

Exactly: When I saw the poll.....I stopped reading...I don't hate him...I hate his lack of leadership-and I don't care what color he is....he still isn't a leader.

Well, Obama is a socialist, and he is a liar. Those are really my primary objections to him.


With that said, I'm not opposed to the ideals of socialism. I'm opposed to the inherent problems with socialism. Basically, it doesn't really work, and does more harm than good, especially to those who are most vulnerable. Secondly, Obama really is a massive liar. But most people on the left forgive him, saying he needed to lie because of how politics works. Or leftist things like gun control, gay marriage, and other things that the left like, they overlook him lying while he was campaigning on the issues, because he is now on their side.


Of course, thats the problem with the left and the right. When I see a politician who has flip-flopped on an issue, I feel that he is an unprincipled liar, who cannot be trusted, regardless of if I agree with him that day or not(Romney is a good example). The left loves a flip-flopper, and considers that their opinion "has evolved", and they have "seen the light".

I much more admire a man who says and does things even if they unpopular, because he believes they are the right thing to do. I don't admire a man who changes his opinion depending on the way the political winds are blowing.


I will give you one thing I actually admired about Obama, even though I disagree with him generally on immigration policy. I admired him when he passed the executive order amnesty on the children of illegal immigrants who had been in the country since they were young and went to school with the other kids and had no criminal record.... I just like when he got up and said "it was the right thing to do".... Even though, I think his motivation was primarily to get the Hispanic vote. I still admire him for those words, because ultimately, it was the right thing to do.

I always admired George Bush as well, when he would get up and say something that was unpopular, because he believed it was the right thing to do. I love Bill Clinton when he is being fiery towards critics of decisions he made as president.


Of course, I think I just like fiery opinionated people, who say how they feel. And do as they say.

I think Obama actually has a great heart, he wants to do good, and he believes he is trying to do good. The problem is, he believes something that just isn't so. And while I disagree with him on many matters, I still wish he would just have the courage to just do what he believes is right. But he is sadly, just a politician.

But the worst part of Obama, is that he really doesn't like America. Never has. He doesn't like Western society in general. And blames Western culture for the poverty all over the world. He hates capitalism, and believes it is exploitative and is the cause of the poverty and turmoil in Africa, Latin-America, and Asia. He is not a Christian, I would assume he is probably a deist or spiritualist. Though I do think he has respect for religion itself, as a force for good.

He is so obsessed with his father, who is not someone to admire. In fact, Obama should absolutely loathe his father. But for some reason, he has some kind of psychologically unhealthy obsession with the man, who was one of the biggest advocates for a system of government in Kenya that is what helped to make Kenya poor. While blaming Britain for all the problems of Kenya.

The truth is, if Kenya was still part of the British Empire, it would be immeasurably better off today than it is. And the seething hatred of the west that both Barack Obama senior and junior feel, is neither healthy, or correct. And as the Obama's said after they were elected, it was the first time they believed in America. Because they believe that everything that America was before 2008 was basically evil. They believe they can turn America into something else. Which is neither American, or Western. Of course, thats typical of the left. Who really want socialism almost to the extent of communism. As well as to destroy western culture, and probably even the English language itself, through a flood of immigration and multi-culturalism.


That's why I don't like Obama.

Is that why Obama has failed to pass the budgets since he's taken the oath of office?
