I do not think he is Bush Lite. I don't even think he's Clinton lite. He's probably the most liberal President we've had since Carter. And to me, that's a good thing.

However, I also don't think he walks on water. His handling of the economy leaves much to be desired. His capitulations to the GOP have pissed me off to no end. His non-support of Elizabeth Warren has made me livid.

But at the same time, he did pass Health Care Legislation. And as we have seen in VT, Single Payer will come about in the States, not the Federal Government. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe not. America has never had universal health care before.

His handling of OBL is what we should have done on 9/12/01

On the other hand, he is still propping up a bloated military, which will sink us in the end.

If he's capable of learning from his mistakes, his second term might be what we want. Then again, it might be more of the same. Either way, he has my vote. In the primary and in the general.

Add to this that he could teach all of us a lesson on parenting - the First Family is about as close as you can get to Norman Rockwell. And having studied the 'illustrator (not artist, his words)' if he were alive today, 90% of his material would be involving the First Family in some way or another. How can you not fall in love with this family?

Anyway, I think he's an OK president. I would love an excellent President, but we haven't had one of those since FDR.

Obama/ Biden 2012, they could be doing a worse job.

6. I think we could do far far far worse than Obama! n/t

We would be doomed as a country with someone far worse than Barry.

As the worst President in U.S. history Barry is doing much better than OK. He's doing a bang-up awesome job at sucking.

Oh good grief.
Taventrash has overdosed on something.

Yeah, Rockwell was all into showing people stuffing their face with waygu beef, arugula and lobster.

Just got up from a nap and I read that as "Pygmy in Chief".

I swear it's the truth. Sometimes the blurry eye sees more clearly.

Oh really?

"His handling"???

Have a clue, DUmmies~ The only thing Glorious Comrade Leader handled was a cup of take out latte brought to him by some step & fetchit as he was allowed by the grown-ups to sit in the corner and watch. Fact.
He was afforded the respectful gesture through protocol in deference to his position as Resident of the United States. OBL's demise was absolutely not something he handled, it was the culmination of years of efforts by many highly talented and dedicated people as the direct result of the leadership of one George W. Bush. Period.

As for the rest of this humorous camp fire as they decide weather or not to vote Soetoro off the island~

He needs a second term before he'll be worse than Jimmeh.
In my book, Jimmeh is still in a class by himself, and he did it all in a single term.

Lord Zero won't require that much time.  He's (almost) done as good as Carter, and has 17 months to spare.

Just for fun.

Politics from craigslist in Myrtle Beach SC is an example of how bad he is. Only 10 post...and as funny as the DUmp in some cases.
http://myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/pol/

Profanity laced tirade against all the republican candidates but no defense of Obama's stupidity.
http://myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/pol/2399423708.html

This is a long article about all the SS#'s Obama has used and how much personal info has been sealed, lost, changed etc....nice piece but it'll make you wonder how many fellow travelers Obama and Bill Ayers have installed in the government at every level to accomplish this much cover up. http://myrtlebeach.craigslist.org/pol/2378045269.html

Why the US needs socialism. We're surrounded by these moonbats everywhere.

...and of course no DUmmie politics is complete without the mandatory how too scam SSD post.

I dunno, man. Jimmeh gave us malaise, 21% prime interest, gave away the Panama Canal, ****ed up the Iranian rescue, announced our conversion to the metric system, and still had time for lust in his heart.
