AP Reports Obama's Presidency a Worldwide Disappointment

Clinton was able to see where the country was going, and adjusted. He worked with the Congress, and the results are history. After his defeat in 2010, Obama has simply become firmer in his resolve to institute a socialist system. There is no working with him. He needs to be replaced.

Question to the ones complaining about Obama: Would you rather have your 401k rolled back to where it was during G.W. Bush last week in Office?

if you do not remember...(DJI) was bellow the 8,000 mark. Means today your savings are probably worth about 50% more than what they did when Bush left office.

I actually don't give a $ about politicians...so spare me the ideologist rebutal

I am European and I lived in a country where we had a Socialist governement for 8 years. None of the BS I hear about socialism ever happened in that country. I always suggest to the opinated people about foreign countries....to travel a little bit and visit a bit more than airports, resorts and meuseums. Get an immersion to the culture and social live of the country you're visiting. After a few continents and countries your views about the world, politics and human evolution will probably be quite changed. You might even become flexible in yout views and opinions.

I am just going to guess that no one is interested in rolling back their 401k to where it was when G.W. Bush left office huh?

Markets have always rebounded briskly following sharp plunges. The "recovery" since midyear 2009, when the NBER called the end of the recession, has been the weakest since the 1930s. We needed a robust economic recovery agenda in 2009, but instead we got a political payoffs and entitlement expansion agenda.

The fact that we have had such a sluggish rate of economic growth and job creation should surprise no one. Bad economic policy tends to produce such outcomes.
It's too bad the dumb ass didn't understand that before he ran for King of the World. All those empty promises would have been a little more thought out, maybe. Now, you're gonna blame the media and political analysts for his failures? GTFO!!!! Originally Posted by boardman

Well remember he wanted hope and change.Think it wasn't well thought out the opposition he would receive. Originally Posted by ekim008

He also made a decision to sign NDAA 2012 now we have check points on our streets by the TSA and random checks on METRO buses by the po-po and the TSA. Ya, he’s a winner. Taxing the poor and killing Liberty along with Bin Laden.
How funny. Liberals still can't see what the rest of the world sees. They keep making excuses for him and blaming Bush.

Yup, Ekim. That's how they will define it. If you disagree, you must hate. If you hate, you must be a terrorist. If you are a terrorist, you must be confined without trial or habeas corpus.

That's EXACTLY how it will play out. Now, what happens if we have a president YOU disagree with, Ekim? Guess.

Apparently you're no better at guessing people's ages that you are at understanding what's going on in the world.

Why don't you tell us what Obama has done that boosted the wealth of our nation relative to what it would be if he'd done very little, and thereby will create equity market value? Please be specific.

You can't, so I doubt that you'll even try.
