Why do people think Obama is a great president? (wage, middle east, Reagan)

[branh0913]

Why do people think FDR was great? Why do people think Regan was great? Presidents who are busy tend to get looked at favorably by history, even if everything they tried pretty much failed. Regan was full of fail, as was FDR, and so was Obama.

This consistent moving in the right direction, coupled with his likable personality, is going to lend him good ratings.

All obama lies that you fell for and believed. None of this crap has any bearing on reality, you have been conned by the con man.. You look very foolish repeating such drivel.

I do give him credit for being the first President of color. I admire people who break stereotypes. No one can claim race or color as an excuse for not getting into White House. I dont support Hillary but will be happy if she wins because thats another stereotype being broken. With hardwork, dedication & focus, you are unstoppable. You crush through obstacles like gender, race, age, etc. to achieve your dreams. These 'outliers' break the cultural stereotypes you have been taught all your life.

In 10 years when the Iran deal comes to an end, and the country that shouts "death to America" and "wipe Israel off the map", has the capability to make nuclear missiles, Then we well look back at Obamas Legacy and judge.

Bahaha. Don't even try and pin the Bush economic catastrophe on Obama. Bush handed Obama a steaming pile of **** to deal with and just one year after taking office Obama had us back into job growth.

9 million jobs lost in 2008 and 2009 is BUSH's fault. Not obamas. Since the bottom we have created 16 million private sector jobs.

Correct. Plus presidential scholars have already placed him at #18. As time goes by, he will move even higher.

Low gas prices are a fail for obama as he said energy prices would skyrocket under his plan and his energy czar said we need to get gas prices to the level of Europe.
