Like Bill Clinton, Obama has created millions of jobs. There has been record job growth in the US. It has not been this high since Bill Clinton was president. And he did it despite GW Bush's record job loss. More jobs have been created *This Year*, than in any year of the Bush-Chenney Era, 2 of the years under Clinton, and any year under George Bush senior presidency.
The associated press (AP) says "Job gains put US on pace for best growth since 1999". Washington Post, New York Times and others all say similar. This has been the 10th month in a row where at least 200,000 new jobs have been added. Wow. It's the best jobs numbers in 15 years.
Next, Gas prices are going way down. Now of course Obama is not directly responsible for this, he was certainly blamed for the high prices. The LA Times reported that earnings for Americans are getting higher. Raises! Wow.
Next of course, the Down Jones hit 17,959 last Friday. When George W Bush left office, it was at only 7949. Since Obama has been in office, the Dow gas gained 10,000 points. Wow wow !!
Healthcare spending is down, and the uninsured rate fell by over 30% in a single year.
Just recently of course, Obama made a deal with China to reduce greenhouse gas emissions - a deal that many said would be impossible to make. But he did it.
Republicans seem to have done nothing at all to help. Of course they are on the opposing party but shouldn't government officials work together to at least solve some problems instead of try 52+ times to repeal healthcare because its "unconstitutional" (it isn't), and chase conspiracy theories about Bengazi (there were none).
Right now we have that clown Harper running our country. Long story short, he sucks. We'll gladly trade Harper for Obama any day.

It's basically crap like Fox News that tells Americans what to think and big dose of good old fashion racism.
Sure people who are against Obama will come up with all kinds of arguments and factoids about how bad he is. A lot of those people will even convince themselves into believing the hogwash they're spewing. But it all basically boils down to racism and media manipulations. Unfortunately it's pretty much how the good old USA has always worked and probably always will.
As for your prime minster Stephen Harper...
If my memory serves me correctly then he's basically the former leader of the now defunct Reform party. Also known as Alberta's national socialist party founded and funded by the Big Oil corporations to prevent the recreation of another Petro Canada national oil company.
