An whether or not he is a good president is an opinion, not a fact.

Obviously, you don't actually know what's in a person's head who does this so it's a guess but why do you think, they think they can do it successfully?
Because he believes he can and he believes he is successful. Doesn't make it so, but just the same.

I don't think Bush was as qualified to be prez either but that does not excuse Obama being an absolute, total failure either. What made him think he could run a country?

Of couse I do not KNOW this......but, I have always had a feeling that Michelle Obama pushed the runs for office....way back when

Obama first ran.....the senate runs.....the whole political life.

Just a feeling I have always had......and that is why Obama is so disengaged from things.

He was still a hundred times better than the dope you voted for twice because his skin color is similar to yours.

I asked a question about motivation. I see nowhere in my post that I addressed bad leadership from experienced candidates. You might want to pull your head out of your butt and bone up on reading comprehension.

Obama was such a person. It is amazing what words can accomplish plus hype from the press.. it was brainwashing at its best. The masses idolized Obama without ever seeing any accomplishments. Obama even received the Nobel Peace Prize because of hype. It is quite amazing how someone with no credentials can rise to the top.

When they've groomed you to be in politics and have smoothed the way for you and own you body and soul its not hard to just shut up and do whatever they tell you even if you are the POTUS. Obama's proof that anybody could be President.
Its not like the President is a leader any more, its just a rubber stamp position any puppet could do.
