Luc 4,776 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 He seems like a great president imo. It's just that with most democratic systems, you can't get **** done because of the opposition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaggedMonster 2 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Clinton was the last president who kept the U.S in surplus. And W. Bush devastated the economy with his focus on the war on terror. People thinking that his mess could be fixed within two terms have the same amount of delusion as people who thought G.U.Y would revive ARTPOP. Bush is the worst in my eyes; he's down there with Carter. IMO Don't you mean war to get more Oil and the so call " weapons of mass destruction" that was never found Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicOfCANCER 6,292 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 people only say this now because he's the current president. i think the overall perception of him will change years down the line when he's out of office. i'm fairly positive that bush will still be regarded (deservingly) as the worst, for a very long time to come.

Vernier 3,786 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 The only way Romney would be a better president is that at least the Republicans wouldn't be so bitter and they'd be willing to work more with him.

LStephens11 15 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Reagan was hated when he was in office and now is the best? Is this a republican poll? Hindsight is 20/20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,824 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm so over Barack Obama. I was 13 in 2008 and even then I predicted people would one day look past Obama. The Obama bandwagon in 2008 was intense lol. I'm not surprised people think this now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Angel 128 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I wonder if the fact that he's African American has anything to do with these results America You already know that plays a factor. That, and his opinions on certain "touchy" topics like Abortion, Immigration, and Equality, etc.. While Obama may not the best president per se, he is far from being the worst in my opinion. America's Republicans need a scapegoat and they aren't willing to blame Bush for most of his faults. Everything he tries to get done, there's opposition. Always. I remember when his approval ratings shot up once he announced the killing of Osama. I take these polls with grain and salt. They are always biased, so who knows. But if he's voted the 'worst president,' why is he still in office on his second term? Americans could have easily gotten him out of office if they were all so against him.

Haldy 1,295 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Worse than Bush? Idiots. He seems like a great president imo. It's just that with most democratic systems, you can't get **** done because of the opposition This. America's system is literally ridiculous. That you can block so many changes and reforms out of spite and to damage the reputation of the opposing leader for eight years running... and the fact they openly say that's what they are doing, yet people still blame Obama for all of it. It makes me greatful I'm not a part of that political system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwings 12,958 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Obama having his Blackout era, I see. In all seriousness, though, I don't take these polls very seriously, as they are always heavily biased against the current administration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised people think this now. I was 15. The bandwagon was what it was because he was a black man, young, charismatic and borderline charming - almost another Kennedy. He promised "hope" and "change." We sure as hell got change. I think a lot of the reason people on this site like him so much is because he's changed his stance on equality and what he is doing for that platform. While that is great and all, many in the LGBT community will bandwagon for anyone who shows them the slightest bit of attention and advocates for them, understandably so. However, I feel there are more important issues to focus on - healthcare reform, the gun debate, why did Bowe Bergdahl get brought home (why didn't Obama consult with Congress), the Benghazi mess, the IRS "losing" emails, God knows something needs to be done about the border. You can talk all day long, but until you put an effective plan into action, I can't take him seriously. However, after midterms in November he'll be a lame duck and I hope there isn't much he can really do. Just my two cents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haldy 1,295 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 You can talk all day long, but until you put an effective plan into action, I can't take him seriously. But he can't make changes with the gun issue due to the strength of the gun lobby and the Republicans blocking him. Not being able to put a plan into action isn't always his fault, he's actually being disabled from doing so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many people I personally know that voted for him that regret it. I don't think he's the worst president ever like this poll says, but he promised way too many things to get elected and now everyone is turning against him. It's predictable and in the end it will just end up hurting his party. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
