You got what you voted for, or at least what they said you voted for!

What many do not realize is all the scandals, all the shortcomings, all the lies that are seen as political and personal failures by anyone who observes and studies his actions...

each is seen as a success by his administration, his staff, his party and his followers and most of all - himself.

The federal government is being run like Detroit's city government. Total failure.

That's a good point. It always baffles me how vigorously his C-D sycophants defend his actions.

He has successfully stolen trillions of dollars for his cronies.

They would call that a success.

You got what you voted for, or at least what they said you voted for!

Agreed-

Obama is a great 'community organizer" and a terrible president. Anyone who thought that a community organizer with no executive skills at all would make a good president needs to have thier voting rights revoked.

How in the world could anyone with half a brain have thought that Obama would be an effective president?

Obama has simply proven (as did Carter) that liberals cannot effectively run anything. They are great at campaigning and motivating voters, but are terrible at actually running the nation.

So if I write an op ed on a website saying that the Smurfs are real and that Papa Smurf is a communist would someone post it here swearing that it's real saying that the smurfs got who they voted for or would that be kind of stupid.

When you put away your partisan skirt and stop only reading silly, childish biased news sources, you'd probably have a different opinion.

Time for people in this country who call themselves conservative to stop crying and think for themselves.

One of his biggest problems is that he won't make a decision. Many serving in his admin have admitted as much.

We know by his past legislative experience that he voted "present" about 100 times.

How many times during his 2 terms have heard " I will get to the bottom of this" or "I will focus like a laser" only to see NOTHING done as soon as the press moves to something else.

He has passed only 1 major piece of legislation, O Care while enjoying a total dem control of Congress with NOT 1 repub vote. And that is playing out to be a debacle. Not much of a record for 2 terms.

To you O lovers don't even bother to bring up , "he has a repub controlled House and can't get ANYTHING done"

Reagan NEVER had even 1 House ruled by the repubs. Bush had a split Congress. Clinton had a split Congress, etc.

ALL previous Presidents have been able to work a split control Congress.

Wait, aren't there a slew of posts here complaining about his Executive Orders? The leader of the House is talking about suing him for his decisions. I'd say you're straight up wrong on decisions.

Presidents don't pass legislation. They sign it into law. Ben's Guide to U.S. Government for Kids It has lots of pictures to help.

In terms of major pieces of legislation he pushed, there was more than the ACA. It's funny how so many childish people are whining in this forum about all that he has done and now you're saying he hasn't done anything. Sure.

Comparing Reagan's congress to the modern one is not the same thing at all. Congress works differently now, most districts are jury rigged and lawmakers don't want to do anything that might threaten their position in the primary for their own party. have a look at what the current Congress has passed vs the one in place with Raegan. None of those Presidents you mentioned had to face the current situation. Not a valid comparison.

Like Obama or not, can you please make some better arguments.
