Because what he did hurts more people than it helps.

More than twice as many say Obamacare hurts them rather than helps.

The problem with electing Obama is that had ZERO executive experience, and had an extremely short, lackluster, and unaccomplished political career before becoming president. As such, the man has virtually NO idea what he's doing. He's in WAY over his head and even though it's possible he might have good intentions, he's actually making everything he interferes with worse rather than better.

Obama has been a disaster when it comes to creating the jobs the U.S. needs so badly:

And the income gap has grown wider and faster under Obama's leadership.

Those are the reasons so many don't like him.

You had systematic corrupt absence of justice...and a system where before civil rights act of 1965, black people couldn't even vote without this manipulative poll tax and literacy test abuse

If he would stop saying stupid things, if he would stop lying through his teeth like we are all incompetent, if he would stop DOING stupid things, if he would stop destroying this country....

Dude, it has NOTHING to do with his skin color, it has EVERYTHING to do with his character.
