I voted twice for Obama. In retrospect, he was not that great.
When he campaigned for his first presidency, he promised to clean up Wall Street. But right away he renegaded his promise. He kept using taxpayers' dollars to bail out this and bail out that. And after all, nobody from Wall Street was indicted.
On the other hand, I used to extremely dislike Trump. However, gradually I start to like him. Even though you may not like his personality, he indeed tried to fulfill what he promised during campaigning -- not a typical politician would do.
Also welcomed Chinese money to make American cities unaffordable for Americans. That led to societal decay when people who lived in cities became priced out and moved elsewhere in more affordable places across the country which led to the "ghettofication" of America. Be offended all you want but tattoos is clear evidence of it, you're not paying homage to the Aztecs, you're merely emulating what "culture" was created in prisons.
It's good to know that others feel the same as I do.
Sadly, it's a rigged, bogus poll. There's no way any sane-thinking, average American could rank Obozo anywhere near number one on any list that's good. Just a bunch of liberals with a chip on their shoulders. He was not great at all.
Remember when Obama sent all those guns down to Mexico? How many people died when the Mexican government declared war on the cartels? That's a lot of blood on one man's hands, and for what? Thinking Mexico would dissolve as a country from the terror inflicted by the Obama administration thanks to fast and furious? Was it so more people would flee to America so we have ample amounts of cheap labor?
I think any real historian or those who have consumed 10's of thousands of pages of real history would put LBJ much higher.....
It sorta shows the "homecoming queen" end of politics to ask people in this fashion....since I think if you asked many of those groups for the top 3 legislative achievements AND the 3 most negative things each of those POTUS did, you'd get a blank stare.
But I guess what people don't know....they don't know and likely will never know.
I'd love to see more interest into deep dives of history. How many Americans today could explain what the S&L Crisis was and how it affected the average Americans. Yet it depressed Real Estate Values for almost a decade and required one of the largest bailouts in history. It clearly showed what Banks and Wall Street will do given 1/2 a chance. And yet....many of the same characters were still around when the GWB Massive Recession hit.
We'll never learn from the Homecoming King Contest. But perhaps if we dig further down we won't keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
LBJ was a POS, and involved in the killing of JFK.....Jackie even knew Lyndon B. Johnson had John F. Kennedy killed
Obama didn't actually do good by the country as POTUS. IMO People just like the idea of him or the fact that he's well spoken and looks good. His legacy won't be much.
I can't say who the best POTUS was. Ask me in 7 years.
Obama's stimulus improved our education, healthcare, infrastructure, transportation, sewer and water systems, communication, and energy infrastructure.
In 3 years Obama deported more illegals than GW Bush deported in 6 1/2 years, and as of 2012 Obama's deportation figures are higher than any time in U.S. history. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexnow.../#213f67f4514c
That's because Obama changed the definition of what a deportation is. He counted people turned around at the border as deportations. Counted normally, Obama's numbers are lower than previous administrations. https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na...402-story.html

Obama joined the United Kingdom, Russia, France, China, Germany, and the European Union and enacted the Iran nuclear deal that stopped Iran from developing nuclear weapons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_n...deal_framework
One of the most pathetic examples of "leadership" ever, our own Neville Chamberlain. Obama gave everything, got nothing, Iran is doing whatever it wants, and still regularly threatens to destroy Israel. https://thefederalist.com/2018/05/01...-of-iran-deal/

No question Obama was the best of the bunch.. I have NEVER seen such hatred towards an elected official. Turning the GOP into the party of NO. Effectively trying to tie both his hands and feet, while claiming HE is the one not working with the Republicans.
He was a moderate democrat, while Republicans are trying to picture him as a Dictator.
It came all down to Race... No matter how much WHITE men are trying to claim Obama was the Racist, with Racist policies against whites.. Delusional thinking!!
Again.. NEVER seen so much hate against a politician.
Reagan.. well, his economic polices has basically destroyed the American Middle class we knew.. 40 + years of stagnant wages and MASS offshoring of the US production sector.. And not to mention runaway costs in healthcare, education and military spending.
