No, you should be ashamed the best the GOP could come up with were a war-mongering old man, a ditz, and a man who supported a war/draft he turned his back on and went the opposite direction.

Obama was still the lesser evil.

I'm ashamed the ONLY people the two major parties nominate for POTUS are lying, deceiving political hacks.

You should be too.

Oh, I truly believe the entrenched two-party system will kill this country long before any outside source does.

The only hope I see is an Independent popular enough to win a Presidential election who tells both major parties to pi$$ off.

"One of the worst" No. Not even close.

Disappointing? Yes.

The man just doesn't have much passion for the job from what I can see. He has handled some situations very well, others not so much.

As far as healthcare he has just confused me and hasn't solved anything.

I think he's too concerned with being popular and everyone's friend than doing the tough parts of the job.

But not the worst by a long shot.

I'm ashamed of the circus that is Washington, DC. Congress has turned this country into a world-wide joke.

Obama is the worst? No. Obama is the best? No.

He's the little stooge the real powers wanted although I think they were disappointed with his poor showing as a salesman and orator. In some cases he's actually hurt their plans with his own stupidity so maybe he has a few redeeming qualities, if unintentional.

To all of you who are saying these are only opinions disguised as facts, I challenge you to take the following post and dismiss each point as opinion. Good Luck!

For example, even if you love Obamacare, the facts are that he conducted backroom deals after promising it would be transparent, passed it using reconciliation, declared the individual mandate was not a tax and then had it defended in court as a tax, double counted medicare transfers to both lower the cost of Obamacare and lower the budget, promised the Catholic bishops that it would not impact their beliefs on contraception or abortion and then introduced the contraceptive mandate, etc.

All of those are objective facts, irrespective of how one feels about Obamacare itself.

And the list goes on:

We have the video of him declaring he would veto any attempt to get around sequestration. We also have the video of him then declaring sequestion would be a disaster and blaming Republicans for allowing it to happen.

We have the records of his administration saying the IRS situation was a few isolated people in one office, and also have the proof that it was in fact directed from the White House.

We have Susan Rice saying there was no indication whatsoever that there was any terrorist involvement in Benghazi. And we have the CIA memo sent to the White House which says they suspected terrorist involvement.

We have Obama himself saying the stimulus didn't work.

We have his administration being found guilty by federal courts of both purposely with-holding drilling permits illegally and of making recess appointment when there was no recess.

We have him attacking Libya without the advice or consent of Congress.

None of these things depend on whether you like Obama's politics or not. They are objective facts, supported by video and documents. And I haven't even mentioned the Black Panthers or the Beer Summit, Fast & Furious, Solyndra, TARP, General Motors, the fleeing Wisconsin senators, his "flexibility" remark to the Russians, the NSA, reversing legislated welfare reform via executive order, giving speeches about purposely going around congress, etc. The list goes on and on. Quite apart from his politics, the man himself is a disgrace.

Just as even though I'm a conservative, I have no problem admitting that Bush was also a disgrace.

If your opinion is representative of the black population, then no wonder black people still support him as if he's Jesus. If what you see in front of your face is none of the things I mentioned above, then why should we seriously consider the relevancy of black opinion in the first place?

Open your eyes! Barack Obama is NOT a good leader! Barack Obama is not a good President!
If this is the best black Americans can put into office? They better wake up and speak up now.

After 8 years of George W Bush, the most perfect opportunity that could have ever presented itself actually did present itself through a preponderance of ways, and somehow....some way....Barack Obama managed to screw it up.

What a wasted opportunity for the First Black President. I feel sorry for African Americans, because we all know they hung their collective hats on his election. And what did they get for it??

A pandering, listless, petulant, buffoon who has led from the back of the pack his entire Presidency.

How unfortunate we are. Barack Obama was poised to be one of the great President's of our nation, and instead he will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the worst.

What a crying shame.
Yes.

Well said.

The point of this thread: a cry baby sore loser whining about Obama's re-election.

I am enjoying the schadenfreude.
