His policies are resulting in stagnation of jobs, growth and spending.

I could go on.
Oh, you are just glossing over it. Putting it very mildly.

This dictator has me really scared. For the first time in my life, I fear the government like never before. I think we're talking Venezuela. Or Cuba.

Obama just needs to be gone.

That comment is ridiculous and you should feel ridiculous for making it.
You won't though.

A "dictator?"
Was your training in history that poor?
If you have a college degree, you might want to call them and insist on a full refund.
You seem to have been defrauded.

explain why he shouldn't feel that way. or answer the OP, no one has done that in 4 pages...

the only person who came up with anything posted this:

PolitiFact | The Obameter: Obama's Campaign Promises that are Promise Kept

and i ask to that, have those "policies" changed anything?

all obama has been said to accomplish was preventing the collapse of our american society, with no proof to show it was actually on the verge of collapse...

please, show me proof of his policies and expenditures that have actually improved our economy (jobs don't count)

For better or for worse:

1. Health care reform.
2. START treaty with Russia.
3. Bailouts to stabilize banking and auto industries.
4. Stimulus and boosting of federal spending to help offset the economic decline due to reduced consumer spending.
5. Financial reform bill.

That's off the top of my head. I'm sure there are a ton of smaller things in there that don't get much reporting time. Soon, there will probably be oil drilling oversight reform and a repeal/modification of the don't ask / don't tell law.

So yeah, he's actually done quite a bit. Whether or not the things he has done are good is an open debate.

Anyone can "feel" any way they want.
Feelings are not facts.

1) If this country was a dictatorship, then commenting about that fact would court arrest and/or lengthy imprisonment if not something worse.
Is that currently happening? Are you writing from your jail cell poster?
2) If this society is on the "verge of collapse" then where's the proof that it is? Also,since Obama was elected less than two years ago and inherited most of the issues that we are now facing,how is this so-called "collapse" his fault?
3) "Jobs don't count?" Are you saying that job creation, which is a measure of economic growth..ummm..doesn't count as economic growth?
I see that YOUR training is clearly not in economics.
4) Since I'm not making the outrageous claims of "dictatorship" nor of the "collapse" of this country, why would it be up to me prove that they are or are not happening? The burden of proof is always on the claimant.

You can say or "feel" anything that you like. That doesn't make it rational...nor does it make it true.
Come up w/ facts and figures to support your irrational claims.

The premise of the OP is that Obama has done nothing. You can't have it both ways. Either he's done nothing but smile and wave, or, he's done lots of terrible things that are undermining our country.

Get together with your brethren and decide which tack you're going to take today.
