i'd give him a b- or a c+, which incidentally, is the highest rating i'd give any of them since jfk. there hasn't been a republican in that time i'd give higher then a d+, and several i'd give a d-. maybe even an f- for nixxon, raygun, dubya. i wouldn't expect much better then a solid d for romney either.
I dunno but easily one of the most (unfairly?) scrutinized presidents in my recent history. At least Bush said idiotic things.
A lot of Obama's lack of success is due to the obstructionist teabagger republicans in congress. Every time Obama tries to fix the economy, the republicans have blocked it, or filibustered it. The republican whip in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, has stated that the republicans goal is to make Obama fail. And then they blame Obama for the bad economy. That's the GOP solution for America.
Actually, that is quite incorrect. The news seldom picks up anything that is negative about Obama. His numbers speak for themselves.
This just shows that you listen to what people say, but you don't do your own research. This completely not true. Obama has spent twice as much time on vacation and golfing (literally, by statistics) as he has in meetings on the economy. I'm not speaking bad of you, I'm just saying you should spend an hour a day or so doing your own independent research on what Obama is doing. Look at job numbers. Look at economic growth. Read about the bills.
I rate his success - (negative) 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
7. The health care thing is a good idea, even if it isn't quite there yet. His environmental policies are better than Canada, at least... he cancelled/is stalling the pipeline and favors less carbon-intensive fuels. He at least tried to do something about guns, even if the stupid assholes in the Tea Party managed to pass more pro-gun laws in defiance. The surveillance stuff is pretty creepy, but it probably would have happened under anyone... I don't think anyone in a position of power would be willing to give that up, so the only solution to the privacy concern is to stop using the internet. On the other hand, I don't know how anyone could ever expect the Internet to remain private. I'm not big on all the bombing and killing, but I think that intervention in Syria could have been good for a lot of people... letting someone off with using gas and committing genocide is never a good thing and personally I think Putin was covering his own ass and probably sold al-Assad the gas/weapons in the first place. Shit's getting worse there every day and it's pretty obvious that the people aren't happy. Personally, I think that he did/is doing everything mostly right... after a long string of incompetent fuckwads, he at least seems to have a good head on his shoulders. He's being undermined a lot which has to be irritating. And he didn't have a glamorous job in the first place... I think some people were expecting him to come in and transform America into a socialist utopia overnight, when it was more like cleaning up after shit going back to the 1980s... and to his credit, the economy has improved a great deal since he came to power-- though I do think there's going to be another crash next year.
he was placed there to do a job and has been pretty successful in keeping the deception going… i'd say he has been fairly successful so i'll give him an 8… i would give him a 10 but for the fact that many many people seem aware of this… haven't actually voted because it would not represent my actual view...
i give him a 6. i don't thing the u.s. has ever had a president i would rate higher 7 or maybe 8, but plenty i would rate less then 5. most of them even. fdr and jfk i would give each a high 7, maybe an 8. isenhour, nixxon, raygun, bush, either of them i wouldn't give any of them more then 3, if that, carter i think a 5 or a 6. i thought higher of him for a time, but he's got a few skelletons too. all of them do, even kennidy and fdr. they're all war criminals really, and if you go further back in history, you can find worse too. even worse then the shrub. grant, jackson, even washington, ones and negative numbers. lincoln was probably the only republican who deserved more then a 3 or 4, and most people only think about him in relation to the civil war, but in a sense he also gave us corporate personhood. who am i leaving out? ford? head bump, lol, not around long enough to fairly count. don't doubt he would have done something messed up if he had been. ah, lindon banes johnson, the twiddle dee dee to goldwater's twiddle dee dum. sorry. a 3 or at most a 4 there too. clinton? hmmm. a pretty solid 4 or 5. maybe a 6 if it weren't for nafta.
1, and only because there is nothing lower offered. Neither he, nor our supposed representatives follow the organic law that they derive their authority from, namely the US Constitution. In my opinion, this constitutes criminal actvity on all their parts and they all deserve prosecution for it.
His success is -999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 however his success for trying to destroy our country even more is +999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
Why should an idiot like me vote here? Just look at the erosion in his congressional majorities over the last three elections. He entered office with a lock-up congressional majority; its gone.
