I will miss some things about Obama

[Criticalt]

Ive literally never heard anyone stumble through sentences like Obama. A...a...um...a..um.....aaaa, he often made me shake he is soooo bad at speaking.
As far as what he said, it was all written by a team of speech writers. People who know him say he is very arogant and nowhere close to as smart as he thinks he is.
Being a community organizer he has learned to talk to easily impressed, usually uneducated people who already agree with him.

Trump may be a little rough around the edges but hes made BILLIONS of dollars. He has talked his way through multi million dollar deals for 40 years and has talked well enough to impress many top business people on our planet.
He is FAR more intelligent than he comes off as. He graduated from Wharton School of Business, not an easy feat. Annnd, he talked 65,000,000,000 people into voting for him, including me and I aint no dummy.

IMHO presidential dignity died wit Reagan.

The best U.S. president in my lifetime was Richard Nixon. He ended the war in Vietnam. Normalized relations with Russia and China. He would survive the watergate, if it was today. The media doesn't have as much power.

My favorite so far (been here since JFK) is Bush II. Just thought he was the greatest commander ever. His dad would be second. I actually met Bush Sr. back in 79. What a great guy. I don't remember much about Nixon. Guess I was too busy with television and girls.

That is a good point that Trump has had to wheel and deal for a very long time; not an easy feat by any stretch of the imagination. But anyone could have made his money. I read that his dad staked him with $250M. My money doubles every 6 to 7 years. Trump is in his early 70s now so he had that $250M for 50 years. If his money doubles every 7 years and he truly did start with a quarter billion; he actually has way less than he should.

That was a democrat talking point but Trump said it was 1 million, not 250 million.
I dont know how much he was left when his father died but his father wasnt worth 250 million and he had to split up his money between numerous people.
Also, his many business's make alot of money, thats a fact.
Another thing, 99% of people will spend or lose large sums of money. So your "anyone could make his money" is just untrue.

I won't miss obama mainly because I just really dislike the social direction of his party. To this day though he has never made me fearful that he would rage out and do something stupid. To me he had a lot of potential and Washington ruined him and soiled him. Made him too weak to enact real hope and change.

Anyway on drudge today was a video of him at a press conference and the entire two minutes is him doing a very good job of not saying "can somebody get this idiot out of here?".

I still believe bush was a worse president because he lied about iraq and that war has been a total catastrophe.

But I am happy to see the dems kicked out on their ass for a while. Get some conservative justices in there.

I don't feel Bush lied. The left wing media spun it that way, but the CIA found tons of chemical and bacteriological weaponry and residuals. The mistake is we told Saddam we thought he had such weapons, then we waited 10 years before going in there to check. I bet Saddam shipped all those weapons to Assad. We do know Saddam bombed the Kurds with chemical weapons and killed between 30K and 100K Kurds in the process. A dozen or more towns IIRC.

I am glad Trump got in not because I like the guy; but because I think we need a more conservative SCOTUS and we need to give the GOP a shot at fixing this huge mess America is in. None of that was Obama's fault - every POTUS since Jefferson has jacked the deficit; but we really need to reverse that and shrink the deficit and the size of government so we can afford social security and a strong military. Weird how America views Russia as the evil empire. China and Russia were both our allies against Germany and Japan. Now we are buddy-buddy with Germany and Japan so I suppose Uncle Sam has to spin it so we think Russia and China are the bad guys. I don't know enough about Putin to say I like or dislike him; but he sure does seem like a badass who keeps things under control. The exact opposite of the cluster-fuck that is Washington DC.

For every dollar I spend, I try to save a dollar. I think that's probably true of many Americans in the upper middle class. I know that's probably not possible for the under-educated poor and the blue collar lower middle class; but I suspect most upper middle class folks save fairly well.

If Trump converted $250M to $10B in 50 years it's no great feat. If he flipped $1M into $10B in 50 years; that is total badass. I couldn't do that. I would probably have gotten it to maybe $50M to $100M in 50 years at best.

I like Obamma as a guy , I did not like Obama as a president in any way .Im not sure I agreed with him on anything .But he seems down to earth and A guy you can play some pool with, having a beer with while scoping out chicks . I think he was wrong on just about all of his decisions including Hillary Clinton as sec, of state ?? WTF? Dude? Duuude?

Obama....Intellectual?

HAHAHAHAHAHALOLOLOLOLLMAOLMAOLMAO

You just re-defined the word. HAHAHAHAHA

April 1st already??

Obama....Intellectual?

Watching someone berate the intellect of a man that graduated from Columbia and Harvard Law and holds a Nobel is like watching a retarded zoo monkey try to fuck a football. Gratz on that; football fucker.

I don't agree with his world view in some ways; but I like your take on it. He would be great to shoot hoops with, or have a few beers and play billiards. Going with Killery must have been that old saying about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. But perhaps he just felt she was smart and would do well in that role. He loves to write so I do expect him to put out a book after he retires from his POTUS role. I am hopeful that he discusses her candidly in his book.

 

[Phauxtoe]

Obama is definitely not an intellectual he is however an ideologue!

No, not an oritor! he is a skilled reader! just watch him if he goes off script he stumbles falls and makes an ass out of themselves.
One thing he has proven is that he's a big liar! nothing of what he promised ever came to be truth

 

[timboy]

Things I will miss about Barack Hussein Obama II
1) NONE.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I couldn't get passed your first two sentences without feeling like had I read your (I'm assuming) love fest for that traitor, I would be huddled on the floor of my shower in a fetal position, with the water running over me, sobbing uncontrollably. You probably won't get much on the open market for your Obummer t-shirts, pictures and paraphernalia so I would just hang on to them if I were you.

edit: Ok, I read a bit more. "Truly cared about all Americans?" If "caring" means to wipe his ass with the constitution and rule however he deemed was correct in his bizzaro world then I would agree. He was the most caring president of my lifetime.

 

[Robin]

There are smart people, people that feel they are smart, people that think they are smart, and people that make others smart every time they open their mouth, put pen to paper, or key to computer. Ouch, that smarts!
FUBO, the community organizer that stood against EVERYTHING this country was founded on, and F those that put you at the helm. I read Joe Stalin was a real nice guy, actually penned by several of his closest confidants, before they disappeared.

I'm not saying we all need to miss Obama; I am just saying I am going to.

Thing I will miss most about Obama. Well there was the time he...no wait I friggin' hated that too. I will miss reaching for the tv remote every time his puss was on the tube.

Only thing I'll miss is I won't be able to call him a communist as much.

I give you permission to keep doing it.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I will miss his constant division and conflict pushed on the American people, convoluted incoherent foreign policy, not keeping my doctor, being told to sit in the back, hearing him continuously give self praise and take credit, politicizing every single issue etc.

The one thing I am genuinely (not sarcastically) grateful for is when he crushed Hillary dream of being president 8 years ago. As much as I loathe Obama's policies Hillary would have done exponentially more damage in the past 8 years.

We do know Saddam bombed the Kurds with chemical weapons and killed between 30K and 100K Kurds in the process. A dozen or more towns IIRC.

I think he did lie as did his cabinet. If you google "iraq lies count" for example, there were literally hundreds of false statements made by his government over Iraq, including such silly ones as "The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud." Just one example of many.

If all the intelligence screwed up and showed Iraq was on the cusp of something awful, I would give bush the benefit of the doubt. But it didn't.
The pre-war intelligence on Iraq: Wrong or hyped by the Bush White House?

The clearest example of stretching the intelligence concerned Saddam Hussein’s links to al-Qaeda and by extension the 9/11 attacks, which were thin and nonexistent — but which the Bush administration (especially Vice President Cheney) suggested were deeply suspicious...The 170-page report said such Iraq/al-Qaeda statements were “not substantiated by the intelligence,” adding that multiple CIA reports dismissed the claim that Iraq and al-Qaeda were cooperating partners – and that there was no intelligence information that supported administration statements that Iraq would provide weapons of mass destruction to al-Qaeda.

The intelligence was widely wrong but there was dissent, and it was ignored by the Bush admin. Apparently some few people appeared to give it stock, though, including Obama. If nothing else this is why I think Obama was a better president than Bush. The Iraq war has clearly been a complete, unequivocal waste of life and money. And yet nobody except the immediate victims has ever paid for this or ever will.

Wow......is this an open book, take home test? I'm going to need some time to come up with an answer.

 

[218bee]

Chicago's still on track for 700 murders this year...If he could have done ONE positive thing, shouldn't it have been dealing with this, in his home town of all places? I feel he had (& blew) many chances to unite the country. Instead he divided..i.e. Sticking his nose in Trayvon/Zimmerman case, fueling anti-cop sentiment, etc, etc..
I'm glad it's over...There's much unrest & turmoil that he either caused or could have diffused...We'll have to agree to disagree on his sainthood...

Personally I feel that no way have we heard the last of the narcissist, I just don't see him puttering around his garden and golfing.
He was and still is a community organizer who hates our Constitution, and he has developed a lot of wealthy contacts in the last 8 years.
The Clinton"s have The Clinton Foundation, Obama has Organizing For America 501 (c) (4). I just can't see him walking away.

After Jan. 20th (if all goes well and he leaves office) he will be the most popular democrat in a party that is pretty much in ruins, except for NY and Cali
and the large urban areas in between. This is his chance to push his agenda and rebuild in his own image. He has too much ego (and no class)to just go away.

Just because he graduated from college does not mean he is the epitome of intellect. How do you know he wasn't a D student or given a pass by accommodating professors? His Nobel is a Peace Prize, given in the first days of his administration. After 8 years of his disastrous foreign policy, it is hardly warranted. You'll have to do better than that. His track record hardly points to someone who cares about all Americans.
