Topic: What good things has Obama had since he is elected ? - page 10. (Read 11557 times)

So, are you saying that Obama (and most others really) doesn't deserve to lead a country? Because drone strikes, for example, completely ignore the basic human rights of the suspects they kill, and the rights of all the people who happen to be standing nearby when they happen.



Exactly; or Saudi Arabia, or Bahrain, etc.. If you're pro-American, news of what you're doing barely even reaches the mainstream in the West.

What about Turkey and its dictator, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan? No one is willing to speak a word against him, as he is pro-American. Just a few hours ago, another 15-year old was killed by Erdoğan's rabid dogs.

I did not say I agree with dictator and autocrat as Gaddafi is , I’m saying that U.S government are doing some other things intended they should do . They just put their fingers on every "cake" ... u know like there in Libya people don’t like Gaddafi but Libya got oil , a lot of oil , and we are not in good relationship with Russia ok lets "help" to the people on Libya , let them accept us our leaders and than we are going to take all we want from that country , just like we did to Iraq or Vietnam or and other region that we conflicted with . Bush did that Obama is doing that .

What about Obama's saving of the US automobile industry by giving government bailouts in 2009? A lot of people regarded it as a bad move and waste of tax payer's money.

However, General Motors is now one of the most profitable companies in the world. GM has earned a stunning $22.6 billion in the 5 years since the bailouts in 2009 and has repaid everything it was obligated to repay the US gov.

Chrysler Group LLC has also repaid their $7.5 billion debt from the 2009 federal bailout to the U.S. and Canadian government in 2011, when the deadline that they had been given was 2017. They managed to pay 6 years early.

For all concerned, Obama's bailout plan was a success. If he had taken down those companies instead through the 'controlled bankruptcy' plans a lot of his political opponents were advocating, there'll be millions of jobs lost from american soil and more money flowing out of the country buying more imported cars which will further raise the national debt level.

So this was indeed a far sighted move by Obama.

Yes u are right I agree with you totally , every country must be democratic ! Gaddafi was dictator just like Hitler or Stalin or any other dictators who need to be overthrown for good of all people of that region .

Every man deserve the have human rights and freedom in any way this rights are based on Geneva convention human rights . If you don’t agree with basic human rights than you don’t deserve to lead one country !

1) That's his worst failing.  Utterly destroying GDP growth with companies uncertain on legislation.  Hillary will ride in a "save us" with a single payer system that will eventually become tier.  His quintessential achievement is his biggest leadership failure (having Pelosi and Reid write the laws is a failure of leadership)
2) Economy is worse.  You need to learn what a structural deficit is.  See #1.  Of course this helped BTC grow
3) He violated his own policy but yes he succeeded (probably with McCain prompting him).
4) He didn't learn how to count at Harvard.
5) You can't have #2 and #5- one or the other.  You protect water supplies or create a national works project - not both.
6) I agree
7) Failure - he should have fixed the tax code to stop loopholes, but that is hard to do when you Sec of Treasury is a tax cheat who conveniently forgets to send in payroll taxes even though his own accountant sent 2 letters.
I agree
9) You must either live in a Muslim predominated country or are confused.  Most countries see him as a successor to Bush.  Nobel peace prize pfft.

His single biggest achievement, sadly, was his position as Commander in Chief - telling Pakistan to go to hell by taking out Osama.  Something that Clinton didn't want to do and Bush chose not to attempt.  I doubt many who hate America's military influence around the world had a problem with taking out the titular head of Al Queda

President Obama has not done anything good for this country or the economy.

Obama is not responsible for his own inaction. Bush is. and Global warming 

Nice, what about the children of Iraq and Palestine ?

Did they have the time to learn ?!!

Look, everything was Bush's fault UNTIL the Republicans started stopping him from accomplishing anything.

I really think that before answering to the main question in this thread everyone should post
I am / I am not from the us.

I find it weird that so many people here seems to know exactly how life is there and how things are going  in the US based only on the news and forum talks.
I know a certain guy who's never been there and has sworn to never set foot in the states but it's one of the most active persons in threads related to...

First. Tell us how much you know about obamacare and what the law is about.

The fact that he basically ended our ability to purchase healthcare makes everything else pretty insignificant. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Many people don't seem to realize what we've actually lost because they don't purchase healthcare. I used to pay $215 a month and my visits and meds were all covered with $15 co pays. Now I pay $300 month for insurance and $1200 a month for visits and meds. I'm only 30, most people my age would be struggling with this. The only reason I'm not is because I'm a early btc investor.

So with the new healthcare, your either poor and get your healthcare for free or middle class and made to be poor. Now that premiums are way up and health insurance is only allowed to cover catastrophic events you would think it would at least do a good job of that. The reality is they hardly cover any more in those situations then past insurance plans. All the extra money is just going towards handouts for people who don't care about getting jobs and why should they. Who doesn't like handouts, I wish I could stay at home and play all day.

Giving credit for capturing Osama is ridiculous. All he did was approve the mission. How could he not?


More recently, he's empowered terrorists by doing open trades. He also removed the need for congress on these issues.


He also ended NASA. A socialist County does not need the kind of innovation and sights on the future that NASA brings to the table.


Obama's goal is to removed the middle class and get everyone relying on the government. I think he's actually made a pretty impressive amount of progress towards that goal.


His wife is a real god send too. “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country …"  

As in, now that Obama's socialist liberal pro muslim agenda is moving forward.

US is shitty as always. I think almost every presidential candidate would have done the same thing.

I think this did not increase, on the contrary. Dragnet surveillance, financial crisis, guantanamo, secret wars, attack on journalists (whistleblowers) etc
The standing worsened;

According to a 2012 poll conducted by Gallup, a company famous for the integrity of their public opinion polls, 54% of Libyans approve of U.S. leadership, compared to only 22% and 19% respective approval for China and Russia's, and 75% of Libyans say they approved of NATO's military intervention in the civil war.

Well, what did you expect? Gaddafi was brutally oppressing his own citizens and killing the rebels and anyone who dares to speak against him en mass. His was an authoritarian dictatorship where ordinary citizens like you and I do not have a voice in what happens to us, our family and our neighbors.

Are you saying that such a leader should not be overthrown?

I didn’t say only bad things . I would give him credits for that Improving the Economy, Preventing Depression and in fields of Wall Street reforms that he made . I can agree on that civil rights and anti-discrimination improvements that he made .

But as you said you can please only some people some of times . I don’t like Obama that's my opinion

Obamacare I mean healthcare for all citizens and a nice payday for the insurance companies
Well the good thing about it is that it was universal coverage no one could be turned down the bad thing about it was that some of the cheaper more efficient plans were moved up and inflated.
http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/11/01/our-new-237-per-month-health-insurance-plan/
Still it is a start to universal healthcare.

But the website crashing so epicly means it wasn't really a complete success

Also finding Bin Laden COUGH they so knew where he was just waited for the right time to get him (not during bush years) During Obamas term.

The rest is negligible
Could say he lost iraq already given the news and used a far to small army to begin with
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/kerry-says-us-will-act-soon-on-iraq-but-at-request-of-baghdad-government/2014/06/13/53ddc5f0-f2f9-11e3-9ebc-2ee6f81ed217_story.html

If you don’t know much about Obama that’s not the reason to make him look bad . He did some good things really take a look . and then judge ! But if you are president some people are going to like you some are not . That’s normal fact !

Proof you can please only some people some of times .
