Just be careful that the bears are not hunting you.

He shares the honor with Reid, Pelosi, and the rest of the twits that are hellbent on destroying the country.

As bad as some us may feel Obama is, it should be remembered that he has quite a few partners in his misdeeds. I would hazard that Harry Reid is worse, Pelosi is a snake. Ted Cruz? That guy is simply insane.

This is why I have a hard time taking a lot of the more vocal Conservatives on here seriously.

In the history of this country, we've had:
-Slavery
-Genocide of Native Americans
-Japanese internments
-Jim Crow
-Wars started on false pretenses
-Assassination conspiracies against foreign leaders
-Overthrowing and propping up murderous dictators
-Witch-hunts

And despite all these, b/c Obama had F&F, misleading people about Obamacare, and recess appointments... that makes him the most despicable person in US history?

How do you some of you put on your shoes in the morning w/o breaking an arm?

And I listed some examples of some very horrible Jim Crow politicians, including Woodrow Wilson.

No. He is not. Obama is a poor leader and otherwise no worse a person. He has a lot more pressure and problems to handle than you or I unless you are terminally ill.

I am sure we could reach back to many a political machine politician and find someone despicable.

Break out those Civics textbooks folks and look up Teapot Dome scandal or Tammany Hall or The Spoils System, etc.etc.

It begs the question....is he the most despicable, loathsome individual in the history of American politics?
You've misused the phrase "begs the question." It does not mean "provoke the question." It is a term of logic that means in essence: assume that which is to be proven.

Don't feel bad though. Pres. Obama made the exact same mistake in the 2012 debates.

I agree. He should not have fought the secessionists. Better off without 'em.
