I'm a HUGE Admirer of our President! I Personally Love the job he has done! Especially with what he had to tell with when he took over the Office! Many people seem to Disregard that fact! Why? I don't know! However, many of you seem Dissatisfied! Why? He hasn't done anything for this Country in terms of Moving it Forward? The Country hasn't Progressed under him? What are your Thoughts!

There are Pro's and Con's to every President, know one is really ever content with a President and the views or acts of that President. While we all have personnel opinions, I seriously doubt that anyone here would not still do their job if called upon under President Obama or any president for that matter. I think it boils down to what us a people hold dearest to our hearts and how those views fall in line with or not with the current administration. The common Con that distinguishes between party lines is always the military. History has proven that when the Democratic party controls the office the military get's smaller, less incentives, etc vs. when the Republican party is in control it's the opposite. It's a good question but I don't think it's good for this type of site because like I said we can have personnel views but in the end he's our Commander in Chief and if he asks we act, so it really doesn't matter what we think we gave up those rights so others could make those choices, we are here to preserve that choice for others. However if your retired or separated you can say what you like you have regained that freedom to do so.

Freedom's enemies are on the march in Syria and east Ukraine in large part because Barrack Obama is sleepwalking on foreign policy. Never have foreign despots felt so free to ignore a US president. Putin and Assad took Obama's measure and accurately assumed he would mumble instead of act. Bill Clinton showed up to lead when Serbia was butchering Muslims in the Balkans. Where is Obama? Putin has a plan and strategy to crush human rights in Syria and Ukraine. Where is Obama?

Because he violates the constitution and has the temerity and hubris to rule as he thinks is best.

I absolutely love the liberal mantra of "Obama has been subjected to a level of disrespect, blah, blah, blah...."
Seriously?!?!? Do you not even REMEMBER the constant stream of venomous trash you people spewed about President Bush? Really???

Primarily because his policies have failed and done so catastrophically. His foreign policy has alienated our allies, emboldened our enemies and formented chaos in the Middle East. The fact that he seems to trust the Ayatollah of Iran with nuclear technology more than me with a handgun really adds to this... This is especially upsetting to me given that he pretty much threw away a victory in Iraq and pulled out on the basis of political considerations and those alone. I can't speak for any other OIF vet but that's my feeling on the matter.

Domestically, he's given us a stimulus policy that, by his own numbers, failed so poorly that we'd be better off today had it never been passed, not only in terms of GDP and job growth but also in terms of not having another $750 billion plus interest on the national debt. Obamacare is such a boondoggle that it's namesake has pushed back its implementation time and time again, now past his Presidency.

Lastly, I think he's been absolutely horrible in his divisiveness to the culture of this nation. The most notable examples are such cases as Michael Brown where he imposed himself into a situation he knew nothing about, made assumptions that were proven wrong and then acted like nothing happened as riots broke out. Ultimately, he has been a disaster for this nation and those negative effects will be felt for decades.

The only person who has any reason to be happy with the course of his Administration is Jimmy Carter who can now go to his final reward in the real belief that he wasn't the worst President of his own lifetime.

I have a few gripes with Obama's Presidency.

1. The TPP,which takes jobs from millions of Americans. I knew it was odd when it was reported that he and the Repubs came together to pass this bill.This is strange coming from a President that constantly touts job growth during his term, but passes this bill??????????

2. The continued sanctions against Zimbabwe

3. Chicago. The shooting are off the charts, being that he has roots in Chicago I feel as if he should address this more often

Other than that in my opion he has done a far better job than the previous knuckle headed Pres. I mean come on he inherited Bush's mess

Well as I remember my oath of enlistment, it was "To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic!" I do not recall( like NAZI GERMANY) taking an oath to protect any office holder or judiciary while they attack our Constitution or our Constitutional freedoms. My feelings are that the UNCONSTITUTIONAL behavior of our president, politicians, and judiciary call for our military to exercise their oaths of enlistment, an remove these traitors from office, and defend the Constitution by turning them over to Constitution supporting Law Enforcement, and Jurists!
