It's Official: Obama Sucks

[Thumb]

Yes because it's so unfair..boo hoo! Disagree if you want but Obama does some stupid shit I'd block him too..

Can you name said stupid shit?

In fairness he has done some good things.

As for the stupid stuff:

1. Saying what he did about not getting into a war with Russia was not wise, better to keep all options on the table to not tip your hand. Bluff it if you must, just don't sound ike Neville Chamberlain as it leaves your allies vulnerable. Not saying he had to sound hawkish, but don't sound like your an ostrich even if you are going to be one either.

2. Making ACA sound less expensive than current insurance. That should have been the first clue he had zero idea how to actually make ACA happen. Toss in the website mess and countless revisions...that's not havong your act together and manes you look foolish if not stupid. Notice I am not attacking ACA, just the lack of forethought and thoroughness behind something as massive and important as ACA.

3. Doubling the national debt faster than any president ever burned through money then complaining about all the programs that have been blocked. Whether the intent of the blocking was purely political, just think for a second how all those things being passed would have made the debt even worse, with the likely outcome being even worse than the government shutdown that did happen. Note: Republicans are in no way blameless when it comes to the debt situation, but seriously consider the fact Obama alrady spent more than every president before him combined and think about who is going to foot that bill.

3. Saying he was going to immediately pull troops out of Iraq. An instable region that was reliant on the US troop presence would have been extremely bad. Thankfully he changed his tune and slowly pulled the troops out, so this is a push since he did see the error in his comments once he had all of the facts. A president must be given the opportunity to change and in the process correct a situation from becoming worse, which he did. That does not change the fact that he made the initial stupid comment.

I'm not trying to bash Obama here, but if you cannot recognize that he has made mistakes just like every single president before him then you a clueless individual. I don't believe that you are clueless Thumb and in your mind might be able to actually come up with a few stupid mistakes he has made. I didn't want him to be the first perfect president, nor did I want him to fail. Overall he has been above average IMHO. His handling of Afghanistan has been great IMO.

...Saying he was going to immediately pull troops out of Iraq.

I don't remember Obama ever saying this...

I never said he didn't do anything stupid, but I was hoping Mitch would enlighten us to what stupid shit he was referring to. He threw out a blanket statement with a single detail of what he's talking about.

As far as your list, not a single relevant thing in that list minus the ACA, but I don't consider that stupid at all, just a miscalculation.

And I agree with Tinsel, I don't recall him ever saying he was just pull everyone out of Iraq right away.

The republicans/right wing have had very few legitimate beefs with Obama considering all the hate he gets. Okay the ACA, that's a hot button issue. But aside from that? TARP? Benghazi? And as far as the thing with Russia, I'm glad we don;t have a trigger-happy republican in office right now, bitch about Obama's spending while not minding the cost of wars at all, both money and lives....pretty moronic.
