What good or bad things did Obama do?
Under his administration, Federal spending, federal deficit, and federal taxes are all lower now than when he took office.
He ended the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. And doubled debt, however imagine if he had cut borrowing, cut spending and you having less money in your pockets.
He presided over the capture of the capture of public enemy #1, Osama bin Ladin. More like coincidence he was in power at the same time.
He ended two wars, saving the lives of thousands of US servicemen and women. But by pulling out of Iraq, he showed how bad ME Muslims are at looking after themselves.
He instituted health care reforms which gave millions of Americans access to preventative medical care for the first time in their lives. Costs a lot of money, but it would do with the US Healthcare Industry.
Re-opening relations with Cuba.
And he had the AUDACITY do to all this while being BLACK and a DEMOCRAT, which is absolutely unforgivable to some people.
Republicans hate him because he ACTUALLY DOES the things Republicans say that they're going to do (but never seem to accomplish).
Financial reform didn?t reform. If the Banks are to be reformed. The West has to be less reliant on them to bolster GDP.
Obama failed to reform immigration. This is one of the biggest threat to the West. We aren't building jobs, houses, infrastructure, wages, etc. Fast enough to cater for mass migration.
He blew the Arab Spring. Bullshit. The Arabs blew the Arab Spring. One of his biggest mistakes was believing Muslims want to be like us. They don't and have proven it.
Obama ignored the threat of a resurgent Russian dictatorship. Was he meant to go to war with Russia over the Ukraine? Sanctions are all he has to play with. did he do enough?
He didn?t shut down Guantanamo, keep the NSA from spying, or rein in the drones. Guantanamo should all be sent back to the ME and let them deal with the problem. NSA are doing a job to protect us from the sort of people in Guantanamo. Hard one to call, shackle the NSA and give terrorists more freedom?? Drones are useful tools of warfare.
Add your opinions.
The jobs boom is fake mostly because of the way the data is collected. Also a lot of those jobs pay minimum wages. This is because under his Presidency imports from the Third World have grown and he's done little to slow that down and less to make the Third World buy more. The only thing making the figures look respectable are the "Services" sector. This IMO more than anything made people turn off Clinton.
