After letting a confused, inexperienced "community organizer" become President, it reeks of intellectual dishonesty to come out at this point and blast Trump supporter's for getting behind his Presidential bid.
Some of you will say, "Well, Barack Obama is a good President!"
My response? You had no way of knowing that he would be good, bad, or ugly. So how can you suggest that Trump would be a disaster in the White House?
Let's hope the liberal set on this forum can get past their fundamental disingenuousness and put forth a logical reason why the low bar set by Barack Obama is not the reason someone like Donald Trump can be the GOP front-runner.
Let's hear it!
I stopped reading after "community organizer" because that was enough to let me know this is all BS. Yes, before he became President Obama was a community organizer. SO THE **** WHAT? Will you people please get off this obsession with him having once been a community organizer and pretending that that's all he did? OBAMA DID NOT GO FROM BEING A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER TO BEING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, HE HAS A FEW OTHER THINGS ON HIS RESUME!
I'm not a liberal and don't agree with everything Obama does but I honestly totally agree with the above.
Obama is basically pimp smacking Congress and the GOP and is getting things done. He was evidently the best choice IMO and he has kept us out of another 10 year war and a host of other positives economically.
He raised the bar and I am glad I voted for him. He is better than all those in the field right now IMO. I worry that after he leaves the country will go further down hill.
I love the bold lol!
I was listening to NPR today and they played a snippet of Obama's comments about the upcoming budget and the prospect of another government shut down if they don't pass a budget and honestly the comments can be summarized exactly like that. If they don't give him the money (budget) they are only hurting themselves and the GOP.
Odd and interesting that any time there is the threat of a shutdown it is always because of a GOP controlled congress.
Even though I'm independent and think poorly of the GOP and Democrats in many ways, the Dems do have the GOP beat in regards to responsibility IMO. They don't hold our country hostage like the right wing wants to do, whining about not getting their way, basically having a temper tantrum. And Trump is the biggest whining, tantrum prone person in the GOP field. It would be embarrassing to have him as president. As an independent in Ohio (where votes actually count in regards to presidential elections) I would vote for any Dem over him.
Bwa-ha-ha-ha
Out of another 10 year war? He has us so entrenched in middle east civil wars, some of his own making, we will be there forever caring for them as evil stepchildren. He was supposed to bring all of the troops home by the end of his first term. How did that go? Yep, he was the best choice for doing nothing but dividing the country by color, socio-economic status and educational level. He could calm most of it if he wanted but the present situation suits the progressive liberal agenda.
BTW...we are still in a depression.

Really, what was horrible about his record ????
A Community Organizer it not the same as a community police officer .
Community Organizers are for the most part the same as a Public Advocate, except they are privately paid or work on a volunteer basis, instead of being an employee for the city. Think of it as your local Kiwanis leader, Civic Club President or something along those lines.

It's like you live in an alternate reality.
Actually, we have avoided 10 years of war by using multilateral diplomacy with Iran.
You realize we always leave a handful of troops everywhere, right? He said he would bring combat troops home and he has. Mission accomplished.

People think it's horrible a 23 year old Obama helped unemployed factory workers transition to new careers, helping his fellow human in need.
I can't believe some of these radicals dare use the term Christian to describe themselves. Christ is not in their side on this one.
You're right that Obama, by all objective measures, has been a very good president.
Many of us knew he would be good because Obama had a strong vision and demonstrated a complex understanding of the complex issues we face. It was a refreshing break from the simple mindedness of his predecessor and his objectively poor management of our country.
Trump has ranted about issues appealing to xenophobes but his solutions, rare as they are, have a child-like simplistically to them with no sense of the taxes required to pay for them and they won't solve the matters.
Plus, you can't really compare a guy who led a racist birther movement, is a reality TV star, and exploits beauty pageant scandals for ratings with someone of Obama's more respectable background.

I'm baffled how anyone can think a president who helped save our economy from collapse and get it growing with millions of new private sector jobs and shrinking government jobs, as well as get our military operations under control and effective again could be mislabeled as bad.
The results are far from perfect, but given the atrocity he inherited, Obama's worked wonders.
I'm no Trump fan.
But all that boot-licking for Obama must have your tongue really tired. It's almost on par with Lexus...
Better candidate? Would you rather have syphilis or gonorrhea? That was the choice of liberal candidates in 08. No other lame lib would want to run in 12 as they would have to clean up the mess BHO has created. The next 12 presidents will face the same.
The bloviating clown doesn't need a teleprompter. BHO can't communicate without one and misreads from that.
He whipped y'alls butt in 2008 too. What's your excuse for that?
