I think he is a damn good president. Not the best ever by any means, but nothing to be ashamed of. He has presided over a steady economic recovery, has gradually disentangled us from two wars, and brought grace and dignity to the office.
About the only thing I can say bad about the guy is that he is maybe too cerebral, and could be a little more easy to approach. His intellectual approach is why the good ol' boys can't relate to him. He could also be better at the fake emotions and dealmaking needed in Washington. Billy Bob was far better at that stuff. But he has Biden, who can connect pretty well, so it all works out.
After the relentless deceit and corruption of Rove / Bush / Cheney, Obama / Biden are a breath of fresh air.
Nice to have smart, decent men in the White House again!
It's a combination of what he has done, what he hasn't done, the pathetic things that the right attacks him for and my memories of Bush Jr.
Actually this is right on the mark!
After the crap that Bush and Darth Cheney pulled off, Bullwinkle would have been welcomed in the White House. If you also mention the crazy refutican antics even BEFORE Obama took office and continues to this day, it is a wonder that sane people did not put his head on Mt Rushmore.

i suppose his drone strikes on children as young as fifteen are wonderful in your eyes as well. I suppose 20 trillion dollars of debt is a big funny joke? do you think running guns to mexican drug cartels and ISIS is wonderful to? If so we have a different understanding of damn good.
Sure; that is why Federal governments #1 priority is security of the nation. In time we will see defense budget back to Gulf War strength by spending driven by events.

Are those part of that "grace and dignity"?
It is truly mind boggling to see someone intelligent enough to participate on a message board assert that Obama is either smart or decent. He is neither.
The great Oreo president. Touted himself as a black man yet ignored the poverty of the poor, black, lower class while sucking the tit of the white middle class. Yes, this half black president ridicules the Christian religious values of black and white Americans while heaping praises on the islamic, muslim religion of hate, fear and intolerance.
I suspect in the future the history books of this country will simply purge his presidency from them.

He said Obama, not Bush.
I suppose bombing wedding parties and civilian blocks of houses to get just one "suspect" insurgents home is cool with you? Grabbing some poor dork on a street in another country, or in his home, just because some clown said he was a terrorist is cool too? Taking a "suspect" to some 3rd world country to torture him because ne "might" know something is good with you too? Ever ask yourself how may "suspects" that did not know anything never came back from these torture sites? Cool right? How about Blackwater Machine gunning families in cars, just because they are coming in their direction, or look suspicious? What about the Bush arms purchase of undocumented AK47s, thousands, bought in Europe by the CIA, with taxpayer money, and ended up in the hands of Al Queda ? Lets not forget Abu Gharib prison, and the atrocities committed on Prisoners there, and the cases of where Bush interrogators beat them to death, trying to get information many of them never had, because they where not guilty of anything, and just picked up for being "suspicious" or near some event.
One could go on and on and on, about the Bush Cartel and Adolf Cheney, and Obama could not match what he did in 100 terms of office if he tried real hard.
As far as Debt, Bush bankrupted America, and left it in ruin for Obama to fix. You have no valid point to make.
