Forums → WEPR → Is Obama a bad president?

Tax like a Democrat and try to reduce the size of the government like a Republican. No I realize not all Dems raise taxes and not all Reps shrink government

The only reason this many people are opposed to the health care reform is because of misinformation from the Republican party. **** off.

have fun next tax when no has any money, so no buys anything, so there is no store making money, so again nothing to tax, so economic fail and china reclaims all its debt and the only thing we have to give is the country and then, wham. we communists.... ****

The late Howard Zinn put it perfectly:

"I've been searching hard for a highlight. The only thing that comes close is some of Obama's rhetoric; I don't see any kind of a highlight in his actions and policies. As far as disappointments, I wasn't terribly disappointed because I didn't expect that much. I expected him to be a traditional Democratic president. On foreign policy, that's hardly any different from a Republican-as nationalist, expansionist, imperial and warlike. So in that sense, there's no expectation and no disappointment. On domestic policy, traditionally Democratic presidents are more reformist, closer to the labor movement, more willing to pass legislation on behalf of ordinary peopleâ"and that's been true of Obama. But Democratic reforms have also been limited, cautious. Obama's no exception. On healthcare, for example, he starts out with a compromise, and when you start out with a compromise, you end with a compromise of a compromise, which is where we are now. I thought that in the area of constitutional rights he would be better than he has been. That's the greatest disappointment, because Obama went to Harvard Law School and is presumably dedicated to constitutional rights. But he becomes president, and he's not making any significant step away from Bush policies. Sure, he keeps talking about closing Guantanamo, but he still treats the prisoners there as "suspected terrorists." They have not been tried and have not been found guilty. So when Obama proposes taking people out of Guantanamo and putting them into other prisons, he's not advancing the cause of constitutional rights very far. And then he's gone into court arguing for preventive detention, and he's continued the policy of sending suspects to countries where they very well may be tortured. I think people are dazzled by Obama's rhetoric, and that people ought to begin to understand that Obama is going to be a mediocre president-which means, in our time, a dangerous president-unless there is some national movement to push him in a better direction."

Stop watching Fox news.

Obama is an awful president. My parents voted for him even though i didn't like him, but now they hate him too.

Bahahah that's CNN


Local news =/= Fox Network



There was actually a segment about this, stating that members of the board were all saying different numbers in job increases. Funny part? The people claiming these numbers actually had no idea how Obamas plans could have helped the spark in jobs.

To put it simple, you failed at making fox look untrustworthy. You simply pointed out human flaws.

Didn't see that. Oh well, theres one faulty point.

Local Fox news. Notice the Fox News logo.

What makes you think Obama had nothing to do with it?

And 120% charts aren't "human flaws" that a big-time news corporation should be making.

Stop being a redneck.

Obama is a worthless president aka garbage. It's time to take out the trash, and get a new president IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!!

This thread has gone down the toilet, facts have been thrown out the window and people are just saying their opinion.

The data on the chart is correct, they just used it like that to show how the sections varied. Not all pie charts are measuring just a whole. Not a smart decision but that does not mean the data is wrong.

As far as jobs go people gain jobs and lose them all the time and there is never and there will never be an accurate way to measure how many jobs are "saved" as more and more get flushed down the toilet.

This was mind blowing:

NBC News anchor tells people to commit election fraud

And no, just because I am a Rep doesn't mean I always watch Fox News. I like to see a variety of News and the BBC is one of my favorites. That right I watch the Brits talk about World Events.

Please not that the chart was not made by Fox, just used by them.

Kirby if you are going to talk like that quite a few people out there can dig up some of your fails from the not so distant past. And by that I mean last week.
