He's attacked the right to bear arms, has failed to effectivly use our military to kill the enemy and defend our allies, his administration has had numerous scandels around the people he put in power, he's PC, our national debt has significantly increased in his presidency, and his supporters attack anyone who dislikes him by calling them racist.
@chakun I'm not European, but I'm from a fairly authoritarian country, people spewing hate speech are immediately shut down, but it's very safe and people are tolerant here, possibly why I don't understand the American culture of Freedom>Security is because the system of Security>Freedom works pretty well here.
I think to be fair, racism should not be a fallback for criticism of Obama. As a whole, racism will always exist, towards all races by others, but if we are truly trying to maintain intelligent debate, it shouldn't be much of a consideration. You are insulting Obama or people of any race by saying any faults they have perceived by other people are racism. Rather, the faults should be seen as part of universal human nature and weighed beside the advantages on equal grounds that have nothing to do with race. The civil war in America occurred too long ago for it to still be a major issue. We are the only country to have maintained cohesiveness as a nation yet still shown problems from a civil war so many years later. The civil war was over much more than slavery and the African American race have much more history to share than that one event. This is in regards to those I have spoken to in person over my issues with Obama and those here who have made race the forefront of their arguments
It's not a fallback, nor did I say any problems people have with him can be brushed aside as racism.
In my experience, I've heard people bitching about Obama a TON, but the reasons are very often either bullshit, proven wrong with a little fact-checking (which you'd THINK would be part of the news media's job), or just plain not given. Sometimes, people will actually give his blackness as the reason, if they're feeling comfortable enough. Then again, there are times where you'll need to read between the lines.
Saying the civil war, slavery, etc was too long ago, or that we have "beaten racism" (by electing a black president) is bullshit, simply because you can't speak for everybody. Not to mention not all racism stems from that. So, it's still possible for racism to be the reason, at least for some people.
I completely agree man. I would much prefer if they would point out good things he has done if any in contradiction to things that we say he did wrong.
Which do you want first the fact that he illegally pushed Obama care through costing the u.s . Trillions to maintain or the fact he constantly attacks the 2nd amendment. Or do you wanna talk about the fact he endorsed Hillary Clinton who would not send aid to Benghazi due to her wanting to keep better relations costing 4 American lives. Or the millions of illegals he kept from being deported to help secure a democratic majority in the voting poles. Take your pick
And if black people cry about their slavery go back to Africa and btw the funny thing is black people enslaved other black people and sold them to us and now all they do is sit back drink do drugs racially profile cops and cry for equality when they have it
Civil war simply to free the slaves is a fallacy:
"...If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that..."

I'm assuming you can't spell names that are plain on the screen as some sort of insult, and not because you are mentally slow.
To respond to your...whatever that was, why would I say anything, when you're doing my work for me?
Because you actually have nothing to say but insults and pointing out grammar issues. If I didn't know better I would think you are a democratic politician
If I was some dumbass politician, democratic or otherwise, you should have no problem taking me to school, since you seem to have all the answers.
Or maybe you just like to parrot half-baked talking head rhetoric on the internet because you think it makes you sound knowledgeable, which is a feeling that has always seemed juuuuust out of reach for you.
I know. It doesn't seem fair. You didn't have the advantages others did. You tried your best, but it didn't seem to matter. Now, you've realized it's simpler to invent excuses and boogeymen instead of coming to terms with the fact that, in adult life, trophies are not given out for participation. This has caused you to become bitter, which is a step in the wrong direction, because material success does not define a life well lived. How you treat others, and the opportunities you give them (esp those not given to you), do.
I hope you find the help you need.
Or some people actually enjoy arguing with people not just some guy sitting back thinking he's figured life out and that he is talking to some retarded teenager. Yeah you don't get an award for participation in life but some of us don't care I like to strive for the best I don't just give up like some people. And yes this world is cut throat but you think you know me and my life you don't know anything and stop pretending you do. And though your speech was long and used big words they all carried no meaning. Your whole way of thinking is idiotic and useless. You point out things everyone knows but refuse to try and fix them. After reading your whole speech I found no plot no end game meaning it was the equivalent of an idea full of potential but not worth squat.
Oh, dear.
You think those were "big words"?
That alone made your knee-jerk rant worthwhile. The rest was the Jerry Springer-shaped icing on the Cake 'O Delusion.
The one thing you misunderstand about me is I am more than happy where I am at. I really don't care about life not that I would easily give it up but when it comes to death I accept it. You think that saying "if you are kind to people than you will make it through life no life does not care if you are kind to people something you fail to apply to yourself.
If you really think that I'm some bitter adult sitting by being all crabby and junk you are far from it you personally go after me when I talk about how big of a retard and a lame duck Obama is and how crooked the person he endorses. You point out my life and speak things which have no meaning
That's the thing. You're all talk, no substance. The internet is full of people like you, and honestly, you're old news.
I won't even bother with the rest of your personal issues, as they are off topic. Deal with them on your own time.
Nice.

Just remember, use facts, and show your sources. ;)
