The country is in much better shape than it was 7 years ago, so it's been successful. All economic indicators are significantly better, and he didn't use fallacious info to invade and overthrow a sovereign country the way W. A complete success? No, but no presidency ever is. But considering the utter mess he inherited from his inept predecessor, it's been mostly successful.

Failure for AMERICAN citizens.
Success for anyone who dislikes the USA and advocates for it to be continually exploited, weakened, and run by people are inept when it comes to fiscal matters.

No need for big detailed explanations, just answer simply.


More incompetent than Carter, and more corrupt than Nixon....
He just about accomplished everything he wanted.

Where do you get these delusional ideas from?

Fast forward to the real world -- Obama job record: private sector job creation under the "job-killing" president has far outpaced anything that happened under Bush and Reagan, while public-sector employment has declined. This doesn't mean that Obama's record is great. It does, however, mean that Republican claims that Obama's ACA, tax-hikes on the rich, his financial reform, and other policies that were claimed by conservatives would cause disaster and were supposed to be proof of his incompetence, or something, are very much at odds with the evidence.

In the real world, Obama's ACA has reduced the uninsured rate to modern day lows and has slowed the increase in premium costs.

In the real world, Obama has cut the deficit by 75%.

None of the job loses predicted by conservatives resulted from any of these policies.

Like most obama supporters, you live in a fantasy world that doesn't exist. The only reason you might declare obama a success is because he has intentionally done tremendous damage to this country, and he has done it because he hates America. He is a success because he has carried out his promise to destroy America.
He is and has been a total failure and is doing irreparable damage to our country. There is absolutely no basis in fact of anything you stated.
He has set race relations back 100 years, the economy sucks, ACA is a complete failure which will soon be replaced as it is failing, every thing he has done has been bad for America, and the brainwashed still kiss his worthless behind... If you had a lick of good sense, you would be embarrassed to follow him...

What I detect from your post above is that you have an impression of the way things are and you aren't influenced by the facts and evidence that prove that your impression is wrong.

Let's look at your claim that the ACA's a failure:



74 percent of Republicans are happy with their new ObamaCare plans

None of the other terrible things that were supposed to happen -- job loss, destruction of full-time employment, a surge in the budget deficit -- have happened either. We now have 5.6 million more jobs since the ACA went into full bloom in 2014.

As for "race relations back 100 years" you can't seriously think that today is worse than the past segregation of the South or the race riots of the 1960s or the black lynchings in the 1950s and 1960s.

What I am reading is that you sound like a typical white person who was content with blacks being routinely killed by police as long as it didn't invade your personal world. Police unnecessarily killing blacks have been happening for a very long time but since it didn't effect you, you really don't care. You just don't want to know about it or see it on the evening news -- and that's what's bothering you. You interpret these matters coming to light as "setting back" race relations instead of an eye opener to what's been going on for decades.

In closing, the idea that Obama has destroyed America along with the idea that Obama hates America has neither rational or serious support. The country is far better than the country we had on January 19, 2009, when 800,000 jobs were being lost each month and hundreds of soldiers were losing their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan each month.

Only "right wingers" consider the the Obama Presidency a 'failure!

Let's go back in time to December 2007 when the Dubya Administration lied about the Negative GDP reports at the time.

Obama walked into the the Presidency in 2009 with :

Two wars in IRAQ & Afghanistan that were still going on

800,000 plus Americans being Unemployed a month

Wall Street banks & financial firms (AIG & Lehman Bros.) going bankrupt

Gasoline prices at $4 Dollars a Gallon

Unemployment Rate at 10 % & even higher in Minority communities

General Motors & the Auto Industry going bankrupt

Killed Bin Laden when Dubya was looking under a table in a horrible joke when asked if he knew where America's #1 Enemy was! He should have asked Dick Cheney!

All of the issues I have stated above are no longer relevant today and to say the Obama Presidency has been a "failure" is nothing more than a "partisan" joke.

Look at what just happened to Jeb!

Having just been presented with the new medical coverage plan through my employer, I sure wish I could claim better first-hand evidence of slowed increase in premium costs.

I'm just hoping things will settle out a bit for the better in time. I've made the point more than a few times that this WILL take time to settle out nation wide. I generally believe the ACA was a step in the right direction. Less uninsured, great, but the medical costs sure seem to keep rising, and I really don't know how or when that's going to stop...
