Anna Vajda Well, You may not know, However that The republican party out right said they wanted to make his presidency the worst one in history. This is what they said, theres video you can look up. So what does that mean? It means they blocked everything Obama tried to do, they fought tooth and nail against it. So now looking back, it seems as if was Obama’s fault. History doesn’t show all the people who sought to make it that way. This isnt my opinion, thats just a fact🤷🏽‍♂️

Obama, like the blithering idiot he is, ignored the warnings from Bush, Romney and 6 top U.S. military commanders and pulled all our troops out anyway. - Now Iraq has fallen under Islamic radicals (just like Bush and Romney said it would), ISIS has killed innocent men, women and children in Iraq (like Bush said they would) and ISIS has taken control of surrounding areas and has become stronger (like Bush said they would) because Obama is a clueless idiot and doesn't listen to advice from people who are intelligent and have knowledge. Obama continues to play the King Idiot.

I'm sick of people complaining about Obama. Understand how the government works and then analyze his term. He did a pretty good job. He was put into a bad situation and we inching our way out of it slowly. I read so many ignorant comments throughout this page. People expect issues to be fixed overnight. Rome wasn't build in one day. Get educated on politics instead of being ignorant.

If you were to describe the presidential debates as a prize fight, you'd have to see Romney as a young ferocious Mike Tyson and Obama as the older wiser Muhammad Ali. Romney came out looking for a first round knock out in the first Debate and he hit Obama with everything he had but he forgot one thing, a Prize fight is 12 rounds. You almost have to save your energy for the later rounds. Obama seemed as if he employed the "Rope-a-Dope" tactic on Romney. He simply laid back and took Romeny's best shots then came back with a vengeance a la "Ali vs Foreman" in the rumble in the jungle. Once Obama got off of the Ropes and began to swing back at Romney, it was all she wrote from there.

I respect everyone's opinions but, quite a few of the people who hate Obama have no clue why. Sure there are many reasons to hate Obama, but a lot of the times the reasons for the hate is because of tiny things. Examples "Just because he's Obama" or "Obama care is too much to handle" a lot of this drama is completely biased. He's your damned president for god's sake. It's pretty hard to run a country that hates you. Obama Isn't all that bad. Neither is Mitt Romney, both have reasons to like, or to hate. But I say, if you're going to hate someone, hate with a purpose. Not because he's black, or white, a male or female. Who cares!? The country needs a leader for the people, from the people. To be successful of course.

Brilliant analysis! Was in Grant Park in 2008 when Obama won. He's one hell of a great orator. Really enjoyed this video.

Ya know what they said when they were shaking hands ? Obama: "Beatles, Zeppelin, Aretha Franklin, and Stevie Wonder" Romney: "Air Supply, Amy Grant, Partridge Family, and Anita Bryant". Guess who won.

It's interesting to see that Obama always says that his opponents are "good men," whether it be Romney or McCain, or John Boehner or Paul Ryan. While he might disagree in virtually everything with them, he treats them pretty civilly and with respect. As for our current president, well what ever happened to Hillary being in jail?

Accurate assessment.

I am really inspired by you after all my nickname is Barack Obama

Obama got the sweetest treatment in the news. His hardest interview according to him was the daily show...

Don't most people realize that the capital gains tax is on income that has already been reduced by the tax rate? In a zero tax world $1000 invested at 10% would earn $100 per year. But if that $1000 is taxed first, at say 30%, then only $700 is net invested, for a 10% return of $70 per year. The government already has taken that other $30. So a 20% capital gains tax, would reduce that gain by another $14, for a net tax of 44% on the gain. Capital gains are taxed more than ordinary income.

I still don't know where Romney rally stands on most issues..

I can only dream
