Refused to co-operate? .... BA ha ha ha... what do you think Obama is? A king?

phetario you really should pay attention in school. You and Obama both sound like spoiled crybaby children ... they won't give me my way.. it's their fault... It's time for you both to grow up.

Look at Reagan. His economy was booming, yet food stamp usage never dropped to Carter levels, even after the early-80's recession ended.

To the rich, a success. The problem is that isn't the group he was trying to help.

What percent of those people in the lower 50% have money in the stock market or own real estate? Obama has really let the underclass down and handed it all to the upperclass. A few speeches bad talking millionaires and billionaires and that is all it takes for the underclass to continue to praise him. Not a real results oriented class.

No need for big detailed explanations, just answer simply.

A totally unmitigated failure. In six years he has done only one thing right; normalized relations with Cuba.

Obama would probably keep it a bit closer if he wasn't such a pathological liar always making excuses.

Except he didn't win!

This is City-Data which leans politically to the right wing. As for President Obama I consider him to be a success on multiple levels and one of the best in decades.

Mixed bag. DJ and economy came roaring back on the plus (success) side. On the failure side, I do not think we're any safer than we were 1/20/2009, in terms of terrorism and extremists in general.

Most POTUS terms are mixed bags..
