Is President Obama a good president? Does he deserve 4 more years in your opinion?

Thanks, and who should I give my vote to in the next election? Should I vote for no one? Or should I vote for someone?
I have given everyone thumbs up for their own opinions.

The president is one man. One man alone. When he entered this office, the economy was shedding jobs by the hundreds of thousands jobs per month. Obama quickly acted with a large stimulus package, on the basis that more government spending, not cuts would fuel the economy when consumer spending had dropped to new lows since the Great Depressions. The stimulus package saved thousands of jobs including police officers, teachers, firefighters etc. Saving those jobs allowed those people to continue to spend and invest in the economy and help businesses in an ailing economy. Obama took the risk of adding to the debt because he knew in a bad economy that for the morale of people, they wanted a job, and saving those jobs helped keep morale high for many families.

Health care. You've heard about it. It is probably the debate people history will recall from his first term when it is written. Obama knew that a strong economy for the future would be weakened if people could not pick a profession solely based on what their skill is. If people looked for a job simply for if it provided benefits including health care, it narrows options for people who are growing up living in an extremely diverse economy. He wanted to implement a near-universal health care law that would make sure people who didn't have health care could get it and people who already had health care could keep it. The first option was to create a public option which means that a government health care organization is created and competes against health care companies in the private sector. The idea behind that is an affordable government plan would force private sector corporations to reduce their costs to keep their customers from going to government plan. In effect, the price of health care would go down because of more competition. Because a couple Democrats threatened to filibuster this plan, Obama opted for the government mandate plan which requires people to buy insurance from the private sector while the government subsidizes this care to make it affordable for average Americans. The regulations and taxes would help make health care more accessible to Americans who don't have it and help those who fear losing their benefits gain security. Because the law is so complex and long, the Republican Party has been able to capitalize on its complexity and instill fear into many people, hoping that people would never understand it and by default hate the bill in its entirety. But when asked this question: what would your alternative be if we repealed the health care law:.....no answer. It is an expensive bill but in the past some of the most expensive programs like Social Security and Medicare were initially feared by many Americans but became some of the most popular government programs in history. I believe history will repeat itself.

The next battle was Wall Street reform. Obama wanted to prevent the mistakes that Wall Street had made that caused the meltdown of 2008. It increased regulation of hedge funds and reduced the amount of risk that bankers can use when investing (derivatives). It eliminated expectations that the government would bail them out again if they made bad risks again, and helps prevent them from even doing it again. However with the recent Chase crisis, the need for even more regulation and rules is apparent. However the right GOP has criticized as an attack on the free market. But ask them this, what is more important: the safety of an investment of a senior made 50 years ago or the pocket of a guy on Wall Street in a 10,000$ suit? As a voter, you can answer that question.

I am voting for President Obama in November 2012 because he has done a solid job fighting for middle-class Americans despite the fact Congress has been unwilling to work with him. He says that given the circumstances that even though we are a nation of individuals, we must solve our problems together, and everyone must sacrifice. But we cannot afford to hurt the middle class in a struggling economy and we can make excruciating budget in this economy. We need smart government, not simply small government. I want a president who fights so that every American has a fair shot if they try. People will criticize him about the big debt and deficit, which is not quite big compared to other modern presidents when adjusted for inflation. Obama did not create this mess and he cannot fix entirely if we cannot work with him and Congress cannot become less combative. I am voting because in the end, he is the man for the job who has made significant progress and saved our economy from one that sheds hundreds of thousands of jobs a month, but adds thousands of jobs each month. It might not be the speedy recovery that everyone hoped for, but remember Barack Obama is not Superman. Barack Obama is Barack Obama.

1. I think Barack Obama has been a good president. His administration bailed out the auto industry. He passed a signature health care reform law, which he promised he'd do in his first term. He ended Don't Ask Don't Tell. His administration eliminated Osama bin Laden and other top al Quaeda leaders. He passed financial reform legislation to prevent another economic downturn. He increased infrastructure spending after years of neglect. The Defense Department provided better body armor to the troops. He named 2 Supreme Court Justices. Signed the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Ended the war in Iraq. Signed the America Recovery & Reinvestment Act. And many, many more.
2. Yes, I am planning to vote for Obama
again. I would like to see him continue the job he's been doing. I do not want to go back. Mitt Romney has vowed to repeal
the financial reform legislation Obama passed.
3. An earlier answerer responded that bad things happen in every second term since LBJ. Going back to LBJ is very recent history. Also, not entirely accurate.
The Vietnam War was cited as an example for LBJ's second (first full terms). That was a problem before LBJ's second term. The Gulf of Tonkin incident, LBJ ordered American jets to bomb North Vietnamese bases, and the Gulf of Tonkin resolution all happened before LBJ's election.
Iran-Contra started before Reagan's second term. Congress forbade Iran-Contra in 1984 while Reagan was running for reelection.
George W. Bush was credited with 2 wars and a banking crisis in his second term. Fact is that the Iraq War started October 8, 2001 during Bush's first year in office. The Afghan War started March 19, 2002. The banking collapse did happen in his second term after nearly eight years of his rule.
The fact is that most presidents who decide to run for a second term win. Only 1 Democrat running for reelection in the 20th century failed, Jimmy Carter in 1980. Three Republicans in the same time period lost, William Howard Taft in 1912, Herbert Hoover in 1932, and George H.W. Bush in 1992. It happened more often in the 19th century, John Adams in 1800, John Quincy Adams in1828, Martin Van Buren in 1840, Grover Cleveland in 1888, and Benjamin Harrison in 1892.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Roosevelt (won 4 times), Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, William Clinton, and George W. Bush were all presidents who won.

No he is not a good president, he maybe a good man, but he makes a terriable president. We do not need another 4 years of him running the country. You should vote for anyone but Obama.

And don't listen to the guy above about the whole Obamacare that thing hasn't even taken effect and it's not going to past and more people are out of work then they were before Bush's final years.

In my opinion, the only positive things he's done as a president were done in an effort to gain votes. I do not believe he is a good man, and I do not believe he deserves another four years.

However, as a "hard core" conservative, I must say that the problem we are having is the competition. I'm not so sure that any of the other candidates should hold office for the next four years, either.

Sorry.
Answered By: Damon Lyon - 6/2/2012
Obama is not a good president. His failed policies, for which he takes no responsibility, have left us in worse shape than when he took over. He doesn't deserve 4 more minutes much less 4 more years.

Every voter that has the right to vote also has the option not to vote. I would encourage you to weigh the issues and vote for the most qualified candidate, but it is also your option not to vote.

Answered By: Steve - 6/2/2012
He wasn't a great president, but he wasn't a bad president either. If we look at the economy he inherited from Bush, and where we are today, it can be inferred that his policies did work to a certain extent. He did pass some reforms, like the Affordable Care Act which made some positive changes, and the financial regulatory bill which tackles some problems with the financial markets. However, his biggest flaw would have to be his weakness as a President. He acted to compromise with Republicans in some cases where he shouldn't have, therefore weakening some of his legislation and doing things like re-instating the Bush Tax cuts which have served to explode our deficit. But overall, he's been ok and Republican talking points about him failing with regard to the economy and exploding the deficit are closer to lies than truth.

He'd be the easy pick over Romney any day in my opinion

Answered By: smsmith500 - 6/2/2012
I do not think so. If you look at the second terms of presidents since Johnson you will see that their second terms are tainted by something. Johnson had us mired in Vietnam in his second term. Nixon resigned in disgraces in his second term. Reagan was involved in Iran/Contra and showing early signs of dementia in his second term. Clinton was impeached for lying about Monica Lewinsky in his second term and George W. Bush had 2 wars and the banking crisis in his second term. I am not sure a second term would be good for Obama because all the problems he told us he could fixed are still broken and he is offering the same failed solutions this time. So, if Americans are satisfied with mediocrity and don't care if the debt goes over $20 trillion and want 10?nemployment to remain, then Obama is your man. If not he should be kicked out and let someone else try something else because Obama has answers-- they are just the wrong ones.

Answered By: Toyia - 6/2/2012
The best way for you to come to the realization that President Obama has been hard at work saving this nation at every level is to make good use of the whitehouse.gov and recovery.gov websites, and also try the JibJab site (a parody for some of what he was facing upon taking office) plus politifact.com's Obameter.

President Obama is far better than merely a "good" president---he is well on his way to being one of the nation's greatest. Check out the Credit CARD Act of 2009, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and its supplemental Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act---each one packed with benefits for ALL Americans, such as children being able to remain on their parents' health care plants to age 26; being able to make DIRECT LOANS for college through the low-interest Department of Education to eliminate banks as high-interest middlemen; and so on (ReadTheBill.org or whitehouse.gov have these laws available for your perusal). We have the Recovery and Reinvestment Act dollars divided into two years of distribution which has focused strongly on REBIRTHING our Republican-outsourced MANUFACTURING BASE (good-paying American jobs) through the President's "Green Energy" technologies initiative. Taxes are at a historically low level, and an article by Rex Nutting, reporter for CBS's "Market Watch," in the Rupert-Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal states: "Government spending under Obama, including his signature stimulus bill, is rising at a 1.4?ace---slower than at any time in nearly 60 years."

The U.S. auto industry is saved and is now THRIVING thanks to President Obama's wise decision to save them, and we have been PAID BACK for the investment WITH INTEREST while millions of Americans have jobs due to this decision. Even with the pure-D ORNERY blockage of the right-wingers in control of the House and filibustering in the Senate, just look at the MANY MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS that have been completed on behalf of this injured nation and the American people---all thanks to the Obama team! He easily has earned a second term but, more importantly, America NEEDS this highly intelligent, hard-working, and very good man to remain on the job so that our fragile recovery can GAIN MOMENTUM. We also need to OUST the right-wingers interested only in blockage---VOTE DEMOCRATS or MODERATES in November.

Answered By: Riel's Muscle! - 6/2/2012
I personally feel he has done a moderately good to good job, given the circumstances he has been presented with considering the financial crisis and the fact that the Republicans have kept blocking his policies. Not the best president the US have had, but far from the worst, and far better than Romney. The only capable candidates that have been presented for the election have been Ron Paul and Obama.


I expect you to get many anti-Obama answers, as there is a great overweight of Conservatives at this site. However, we are talking about the same people who haven't got a clue about economics and somehow figured that the President himself could affect te gas prices by allowing a new pipeline (which he, as you know, of course can't. Actually oil production has quadrupled under Obama, and the US has become a net oil exporter for the first time. Iran is the reason for the high gas prices, and because the US only controls 2?f the world's oil reserves, it lacks the ability to influence oil prices with more than a few cents per barrel, no matter how much it steps up production). I would not be taking them so seriously.

Obama is also one pf the most popular Presidents abroad in US history. When Bush went to Europe, there were protest marches and a generally unwelcome attitude. With Obama it is cheering crowds. African leaders are willing to sign they deals they otherwise wouldn't just for the diplomatic prestige of getting their picture taken with Obama. Foreign relations have been bad ever since the invasion of Iraq, and especially after Wikileaks revealed that the US government were keeping records on the weaknesses of European politicians in case they needed to be coerced. With the detoriated relations and financial crisis as well as the long war in Afghanistan costing the NATO countries billions and thousands of soldiers, NATO is shaking too. It will be necessary to maintain good relations with the Europeans to avoid a dissolution of the NATO. NATO is the US' fail safe, as well as the key element in the deployment of the US military. Without it, the US will loose both missile shields, allies and also the European bases needed to support Israel as well as train the US Marines. Considering that, who would you rather have presenting the US; the man who have is superpopular in Europe and is called "the one to restore the America we used to love", or the man who said on national television that the French middle class did their toilet in a bucket in one-room apartments? Obama is the first one, by the way.

Overall, I think Obama would be a very decent choice for at least one more term.

PS: I'm not quite getting those who claim that Obamacare is unconstitutional, when the founding fathers did not think so, apparently. In the early 1790's single-payer healthcare was established by law for sailors, backed by many prominent, well-known people from the Revolution.

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.
