    Someone want to tell me what's so wrong with Obama?

    My brother had great fear Obama was going to take his guns: didn't happen.

    We were told our Medicare benefits would be cut; didn't happen. In fact, they've improves and premiums are down.

    He got Bin Laden, and handled Libya without a single American death

    His efforts, in spite of being blocked or watered down by the opposition have changed the dynamics of our economy; at least we're moving in the right direction, albeit slowly.

    It appears he saved GM and Chrysler and all those jobs connected to them.

    Gays can now openly serve in the military, and our nation hasn't crumbled.

    What, exactly, has he actually gotten through the senate that has some people so upset? I keep hearing his opponents say, "Obama's policies" are responsible for all the unemployment like everyone had a job when he took office.

    No one ever explains exactly what those polices that are hurting us so badly are.

    Here' your chance.

        I keep getting emails that are anti-Obama. I fact check them all, and so far, none are true.

        I would really appreciate an honest post telling me something based on facts that tells me what is so wrong with this president. There are numerous things I haven't cared for, including some of the people he's appointed to cabinet positions, or fights I wish he would have fought more passionately, but he seems like the only adult running for the office. Huntsman tends to look like an adult, but let us not forget his strong support for Ryan's budget which would end Medicare.

          If you really need someone to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand anyway.

              1) I have not seen premiums go down..site please.nTheidea is that they will sometimeIam not holding my breath.He continues to create massive debt, anf is still doing so. He bailed out Chrysler for the second time in 30 years again.I expect it to happen a third time sooner than later. Chrysler doesn't seem to learn. People are afraid more than they ever have in recent years. Their expectations are basically at a low. He says XYandZ on issues, saying he is for or against something for the record in fact but doesn't follow through. Gitmo I gather costs 800,000/inmate, why not put them all in US prisons where the cost is lower? If there is or has been a reason, do something about it other than saying.."I tried" with a shrug.I would have vetoed the patriot act and the new one and told the Dems etc. to go ahead and overturn it.It's on your head instead of assuming it would be automatically overturned. Trying to see what is running through the minds of the senate or the congress might not be true for his opinion that it would be overturned.Keystone was defeated, but he was all for it initially. Realized that the environmental crowd might hurt his chances for re-election..main reason it seems and nixed it or postponed it. His unwillingness to take some some responsibilty and pass the buck bothers me. Unless of course as with OBL was a success. In that case, he takes the credit. Wonder if he would have if it had failed?

                Have you thought about flagging these emails as spam or junk?

                        Here' your chance.

                        The president has run up our debt! As a Senator he said it was "unpatriotic" to run up the national debt, but he has done it faster than the last 4 presidencies combined.His own cost cutting committee said that we should become concerned if the National debt exceeds our GDP which it has done in the last week. As for saving jobs, the president uses unemployment figures to show that things are improving, but these figures do not tell you how many have stopped looking for work, are under employed, or have exhausted their benefits. Since becoming president, our economy has lost 6 million jobs (which is different from his report of how many Americans are collecting unemployment benefits)! The U-6 unemployment data is at nearly 15%.

                        December 2011 showed a huge reduction in Unemployment down to 8.5%.

                        Here are the December Unemployment figures for the 8 years of President Bush's presidency

                        2001 5.7%
                        2002 6.0%
                        2003 5.7%
                        2004 5.4%
                        2005 4.9%
                        2006 4.4%
                        2007 5.0%
                        2008 7.3%

                        Remember how President Obama told us in 2009 that we needed to pass his stimulus package to keep unemployment under 8%?
                        Well here are his December figures-

                        2009 9.9%
                        2010 9.4%
                        2011 8.5%
                        None below 8%

                        As for saving GM and Chrysler, who is to say that the the whole or parts would not have been bought out and merged into other car manufacturers, or like Ford succeed without a bail out. It is dubious that the taxpayer will ever get their full "investment" back.

                        As for getting Bin Laden, to his credit he gave the order, but the programs used to find and capture him were started by his predecessor. These are the same programs that Senator Obama criticized.

                        Is our economy moving in the right direction? If it is what evidence do you have that it would not have been even better if President Obama's policies had not been enacted. He tells us that he "won't rest until every American that wants a job, is back at work" and then goes on a costly vacation in Martha's Vineyard.


                        Please do not mistake any of these statements as a defense of President Bush because I think he did not help our country, but if he did such a bad job, and President Obama looks worse in comparison, what does that actually say about the accomplishments of President Obama?

                          Did Obama run up the debt?...... Funny..... I thought it was congress who ran up the debt.

                            National debt is entirely different than personal debt.

                            Deficit-worriers portray a future in which we're impoverished by the need to pay back money we've been borrowing. They see America as being like a family that took out too large a mortgage, and will have a hard time making the monthly payments.

                            This is, however, a really bad analogy in at least two ways.

                            First, families have to pay back their debt. Governments don't. All they need to do is ensure that debt grows more slowly than their tax base. The debt from World War II was never repaid; it just became increasingly irrelevant as the U.S. economy grew, and with it the income subject to taxation.

                            Second and this is the point almost nobody seems to get an over-borrowed family owes money to someone else; U.S. debt is, to a large extent, money we owe to ourselves.

                            This was clearly true of the debt incurred to win World War II. Taxpayers were on the hook for a debt that was significantly bigger, as a percentage of GDP, than debt today; but that debt was also owned by taxpayers, such as all the people who bought savings bonds. So the debt didn't make postwar America poorer.

                              Even President Obama's Hand picked budget committee said that a concerning warning sign would be if our national debt ever exceeded our annual GDP. It did that last week.
