No I think Bush got more disrespect than Obama has. I dont think either of them deserve respect though

Yes. I can't think of any other president that has been actively accused of being a foreign born agent of anti-American radicals drspite a complete and total lack of evidence in support of such a clearly batshit theory.

Neither Batovn or Greenwind has provided one bit of information that wasn't opinionated rhetoric. And Batovn, your last post was a very good description of Bush. You know, subverting congress by lying to initiate an illegal invasion of Iraq that to date has cost more then 4,000 American lives and put an uncountable amount of money in the pockets of top White House officials. You Rethuglicans insist on your little unjustified witch hunt Benghazigasm for four deaths but don't care about the thousands needlessly sacrificed. You people need pull your heads out of your ignorant asses and actually research something instead of spewing hateful rhetoric simply because something was done by the other political party. I find it very ironic that you have the audacity to tell someone else they're blinded by party lines when that's the only thing you can see.

Created roughly 7 million more jobs than Bush, brought the stock market to record highs despite being given the worst economic shitbucket since the depression dumped on his lap. Doubled clean energy use, completed the first major step towards universal health care despite having EVERY Rethuglican working feverishly to block him. Pulled out of Iraq only to watch the final pieces of Bush's epic failure fall into place when ISIS sprung up. Got Bin Laden in just his third year in office and began the Afghanistan drawdown after 7 years of wasted lives, money, and resources by Bush with nothing to show for it. Worked to repair our foreign relations that Bush embarrassingly compromised. Reduced unemployment nearly 3% from when he took over, cut the deficit in half, and all the while presenting himself as one of the classiest, most professional leaders this country has had in the modern era and raising his family the same.

You asked for one thing he's done that's worthwhile and I gave you a list. That's only the major stuff that makes headlines. His biggest accomplishment has to be dealing with one of the most hateful, ignorant generations of house and senate republicans in history that worked on a platform to block his every move, yet he maintained is professionalism through it all and rises above the hateful rhetoric of the GOP.

how come no one talks about the walls congress/republicans threw up every time Obama tried to do something beneficial for the people and the country?

@BATOVN. It's harder to ask a homeless veteran these days since the Obama administration drastically reduced the number of veterans without homes over the last 8 years. You can disagree and want to move the country in a different direction for valid policy reasons but this attitude than Obama has been an unmitigated disaster is neither sane nor serious.

the numbers are even more favorable than this was out out. [image deleted]

BUSH? Are you serious? There is no comparison

He's a good man ...he's got compassion and empathy ...

I don't think he was the worst president we have had ...he did do some good things ...and he did some not so good things ... Kinda can't help but still think how cool it is that we had a black president ...just saying...oh and he gave an amazing speech at the DNC last night !

Everyone deserves respect. The highest role in our nation deserves it the most. In other countries when you speak against the leader you can be killed. ...no I don't agree with that..but just putting it into perspective.

We teach our children that they should respect adults ..but what happens when adults do not respect each other..regardless of beliefs and opinions?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so subverting congress, committing acts of treason, going on a global apology tour, bringing in thousands of illegal aliens and giving them food, homes, jobs and insurance FREE of charge, and neutering the constitution are good things? you are another one of the blind sheep that the Clinton/Obama/Pelosi Machine cater too. Youre so blinded by the party lines and the narrative they spoon feed you that youre unable to see the disaster he is leaving in his wake. Ask a homeless veteran how the feel about they Syrians coming instead of helping the people that served our country!!!!

Greenwind Only the haters say shit like that. He's done great things for people and the country but like all haters...you deny them. Trump supporter are ya?
Fernie · F
BATOVN ...because you don't WANT to know the good he has done. Do some real research instead of having your head up your butt where you don't see or hear any truths
SW-User
I have to agree with Fernie , he did try to meet the republicans half way ....you can't please everyone :/
FORMERLYbatovn · 56-60, M
I was having a conversation with someone the other day, and we were trying to think of ONE positive thing that the Obama administration has done in almost 8 yrs.(NO, you cannot consider Obamacare positive) We could think of nothing. Even Carter chaired and orchestrated the Middle East Peace talks. Obama deserves less respect the Nixon .....and virtually any other president
Fernie · F
BATOVN ..I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and poop out a better argument
Allthingscurious · 41-45, M
It's the simple idea of getting outright disrespect, what makes it so much worse is the severe lack of justification for it. Bush got a lot of shit his second term but he deserved. Obama has been fighting the entire GOP for nearly 8 years and has still managed to accomplish a lot. He'll go down as one of the best presidents this country has ever had.
Fernie · F
That is an absolute fact
Allthingscurious · 41-45, M
@fernie, becasue that would involve rational thought, something these people are incapable of.
FORMERLYbatovn · 56-60, M
Obama isnt even in the top 40 of the presidents. He has taken race relations back 50 years(along with Jackson and Sharpton), he has managed to take the debt to 2 times what it was when he took office(he DID have a lot of hep on that), he is the only president to have the National "Credit Limit" lowered, not once , but twice. you can say what you want. but he is probably one of the 5 WORST presidents we have ever had.
FORMERLYbatovn · 56-60, M
You hold that thought!! Being a blind party sheep who is spoon fed a narrative is neither sane nor healthy. Every night 3000 veterans sleep on the streets, some don't wake up. So why are you inviting Syrian immigrants to come and live virtually free while that happens? Nothing is free friend, WE are footing the bill for this mess

I personally didn't like the whole obama care thingy, a stupid way to force people to pay for something they may never need.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
I don't know, I only became aware of USA's politics during Obama's time as president.
