Objective Obama?

Capt Walter Miller - First, I don't believe, as you state, that Obama has been successful. He has destroyed our economy, set race relations back decades, turned his back on our allies and embraced our enemies, over-reached his Constitutional authority, championed immorality, and is fast turning our country into a third-world country with lawlessness, political corruption, and class warfare. I, for one, think that things in the Republic of Obamastan are not as rosy as the Obamastanis want to portray. He is the most inept, racist, divisive, immoral, and corrupt president our nation has ever had.

While you cite the private sector job growth statistics, you fail to acknowledge that there are very many differing views about what those statistics represent and how they were derived. Many things play into those figures (besides the obvious favorable manipulation of the parameters by the Administration). All one need do is check the vast number of articles from learned individuals and organizations that support the views of both sides of this argument. Which is correct? Probably both, to some degree, and the actual truth, as is typical, is probably somewhere near the middle of the opposing views.

Decrease in the numbers of people looking for work, people who take jobs that are much less than they previously had (underemployed), reduction in public sector jobs driving people to private sector (and that loss of jobs not factored into the stats shown here), lower population numbers skewing the stats, and on and on, impact the picture the Obamastanis try to portray as proof of Obama's greatness. In addition, the rate of growth (180,000 jobs per month) is much less than that during Reagan's and Clinton's administrations (240,000 jobs per month).

I have first-hand experience with how these figures are skewed by the government. For example, I personally saw a situation where a government contractor who operated at several government sites in the same city was required to show an employee who worked an 8-hour day (4 hours at one site and 2 hours each at the two other sites) as three jobs. Saw that with several hundred employees and that was the government requirement. All they wanted to do was claim the addition of three jobs on the stats for one person's 8-hour day.

It is all smoke and mirrors... As I have told you on other occasions where you purported your sham of a president was wonderful, I try real hard to see it from your point of view, but try as I might, I just can't seem to get my head that far up my ass.

This is a very pointed question, implying that he has been successful without leaving room for the counter to that without a direct disagreement with you. I will leave the answer alone, but keep in mind none of these metrics are a given and data can be used by either side to prove their point.

If you wanted a discussion on whether or not he was/is a successful president, ask the question "Do you think President Obama has been successful?" or even better "What has President Obama done to make you think he was successful, or not successful during his presidency?"

A question posed the way this one was does not leave room for debate or disagreement. I am not saying you will do so, but typically the ones posted like this also are accompanied with down-votes for anyone who disagrees.

Any president who doesn't salute soldiers or marines and systematically removes generals from their positions or oversees a 4 star general (petraeus) while allowing his Secretary of State to get away with the murder of this countries heroes is the worst jackass ever, and if all you can do is laugh at that, well you are as ill informed as anyone
