I THINK THIS PRESIDENT IS GOING TO BE THE ULTIMATE DOWNFALL OF WHAT WE LIKE TO CALL THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!
If only more people felt that way before the election, we might have had a chance to get out of the hole and his debt policies! Prices at the pump are back to what they were before he was elected and the grocery store is so depressing. Really, $1.57 for can of beans is outrageous! Milk is definitely rationed at my house. Don't get me started on Healthcare!

Man, I didn't know the President sets the prices for food and gas.  He should just lower them, right? That would make sense.

BlackSheepNY articulated a lot of the problems well.  He has expanded the power of the executive branch in some really unhelpful ways - some of the very things he criticized Bush for attempting to do during his presidency, Obama has done and then gone well beyond.  If the political party you like is in power now, you will not like the precedent that Obama has set when the other party is in power.

His Keynesian (short term fixes and stimulus) economic policies are really hurting the US economy and have added loads to the national debt. 

With the new rules about what insurance companies must cover (i.e. contraception) and employers must provide their employees with this insurance, Freedom of Conscience, something that the founders of this country held dear, has been effectively squashed under the Affordable Care Act and its permutations.   

I was honestly a little shocked that he was re-elected.  It was a good thing he didn't have to beat a good candidate.  For his many problems, I do have to hand it to him - he is an excellent campaigner. 

I don't know if history will remember him on the same level as Jimmy Carter, but I agree that it probably should.  I was not a fan of George W. Bush either and I would not be surprised if they are remembered in a similar way in terms of the quality of the job they did in office.

I AM WITH YOU ON THIS BLACKSHEEPNY.  I don't know if Romney would have been much beeter then this on. but i do think he would have been trying for more private business and jobs being provided. The federal gov. is sucking us dry. It needs to be downsized and start paying their share.  Obama and his momma think they have a blank check to play with.  Oh well guess i will get in trouble with this .

None of that makes sense.  It's just empty rhetoric.

I think he is just as much of a loser as the rest of the people in government but he talks with a nonloser voice which is really scary for all the gullibles. :angry7:

Worst president ever.

How come?

Asking this bunch for logical arguments and reasons is an exercise in futility frankly.

Because every single person who disagrees with what the president is doing is a illogical uneducated inbred redneck hack, right? Don't label everyone the same simply because some can't intellectually function. Just because some doesn't bow their head to every will our god president doesn't mean they cannot form basic logical arguments.

Actually, what I meant before you incorrectly speculated as to what I meant is simply that a lot, though not all of the people here, love to make these sweeping pronouncements without any sort of logical argument or supporting evidence to back it up.  They may or may not be "illogical uneducated inbred redneck hack"(s) as you stated.  They may just be posting BS enough times to get their forum bonus and not responding to a simple question.  It happens.

I don't care for many of his policies and ways he handles things.  I don't trust him to be honest with the people.  I have a major concern with the Benghazi incident, in that he and his administration have been too silent about it, refusing to be accountable for their actions.  During his State of the Union Address, he didn't even mention the 4 men killed or honor their memory, nor did he invite the families to his Address.

12.  HIS RECORDS.  Why has he spent nearly $2 MILLION of YOUR TAX DOLLARS to HIDE his records?  WHY did he think it was necessary to throw out 2 DIFFERENT BIRTH CERTIFICATES if he's REALLY a "Natural Born Citizen?"

This is all I really needed to skim to know you haven't checked your facts very well. Obama has actually gotten an illogical amount of scrutiny from this even though it's fairly obvious he hasn't hidden anything. The documents were always there-

What's wrong with covering contraception? You do know women use it to avoid major health issues, right? Such things should be covered. Something needed to be done about healthcare in this country as it's terribly run. Though I do think laws should vary state-to-state. That is a major problem I have with it since he wants the feds to run it.

I voted for President Obama and I think he is so much better than that crook Romine.  I think he is hoenstly trying to do a good job!  :)

I agree Romney was Gov in my state he did nothing except create his own healthcare act he was for the rich not middle
class. I had to vote for Obama again

I just think he doesn't know how to fix the economy and unemployment problem.  I mean, how do you create jobs when this country doesn't even make anything anymore?  You have a whole section of the country who've worked manufacturing and now it's cheaper to do it overseas.  Why make it here when you can do it somewhere else, pay people half the money, and you are not as heavily regulated?  So the only way to prop up the economy is to give money to these people thereby increasing the national debt.  I think bringing home our troops and having them defend us here is the better way to go.  We need to stop policing the globe because it's getting us into a whole lot of trouble financially.  We need to stop aiding every country that has a natural disaster.  I know that's cruel but if you don't have the money, you don't have the money.

The government wouldn't last if it had to budget the way I have to by living within my means.  That's a whole different rant.

President Obama has ideas that are so different from what is the normal way of doing things in this country's past. I do not agree with his ideas and did not vote for him.
