I will give you the Veteran's Hospital mess. That was a real failure. But the economy is doing fine. Companies are making record profits and job creation is up. The IRS did what it did without his approval or knowledge, unlike the Chris Christie nonsense. And ISIS has NOT taken over the middle east. Obama's approach of getting together a coalition with the countries that are much more likely to be affected than the U.S. is a good one. If Muslim countries on involved in the fight, it will lessen the backlash against the U.S.

Obama has been very effective, given the lack of cooperation from congress. Stop watching Fox and get some perspective.

Wow, you sure love to spew lies. Must be a republican.



Bush destroyed the economy and by anyone's standards, Obama has brought it back. Anyone with half a brain knows that the economy was tanking under Bush. Now the economy is looking better, the Dow is more than double, profits are up, housing is better, unemployment is under 6%, and the deficit is being drastically reduced.



He didn't forget our veterans. He moved as soon as he knew about the problem. But the GOP, by failing to adequately fund the VA and cutting resources with the sequester and not passing their own vet jobs bill sure have forgotten them.



The IRS was going after groups that had blue and progressive in their name. It's their job to make sure non-profits aren't engaging in political actions. Or is it okay if they go after liberal groups so long as they don't touch conservatives.



He didn't allow ISIS to take over anything. It wasn't our responsibility. If you want to lay blame, how about Bush who started the war there that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and created a bunch of anti-Americans in the process?



And I'm betting you dont' have a clue what regime means.



So proud to show off your ignorance.

Failure to secure our borders and failure to do his job as POTUS in accordance with the Constitution while demanding "Executive" Powers that are unconstitutional and shifting toward a tyranny with Elitist Domination is the Most Destructive trend of his Administration. That shift toward an Elitist Tyranny is what I fear the most and what will destroy the hopes for Liberty for people world wide. It constitutes a willingness to permit Despotism on an international scale.

Is all of the above an acceptable answer?



Actually, I have an additional one:



e) If Iran develops nuclear weapons due to his incompetence and unwillingness to do whatever is necessary to stop them, this will be a total disaster not only for Israel and the U.S., but for the entire civilized world.

What was that phase? Its the economy. ECONOMY. ECONOMY. ECONOMY.

ECONOMY = OPPORTUNITY = WELL BEING.

"These idiotic trickle-down policies are destroying my customer base. And yours too.

the fundamental law of capitalism must be: If workers have more money, businesses have more customers. Which makes middle-class consumers, not rich businesspeople like us, the true job creators. Which means a thriving middle class is the source of American prosperity, not a consequence of it. The middle class creates us rich people, not the other way around."

"bloodbath was weaker than expected economic data from Europe–which is sliding towards its third recession in five years– droopy retail sales in the US, and a report from Department of Labor showing that wholesale prices for producers are edging closer towards deflation, the opposite of what the Fed is trying to achieve via its aggressive monetary policy.

But the real trigger for the selloff was not the dismal data, but the policies that have been in place since the Financial Crisis of 2008. While the Obama administration has steadily decreased demand by shaving the deficits which provide vital fiscal stimulus for the economy, (On Wednesday, the USG announced the budget deficit fell to $483 billion, the lowest since 2008) the Federal Reserve has been providing trillions of dollars of cheap money to the banks and brokerages. The result of this one-two combo has not only been the biggest transfer of wealth in human history, but also “a fundamental breakdown in the functioning of the global capitalist economy.”

Ukraine. Sanctions. World economy unhealthy.



Veteran failure was under Bush. Failed to put sufficient money into the services. Then the hospital tried to massage /hide figures. In the hope the veterans would perish, before the hospital was found out.

The economy is on skid row, has been since Bush, and his too big too fail corporations. The debt should have been written off. Now when the economy tanks, which it will, reality will bite.



The rise of ISIS/ISIL/IS due to BUSH' invasion and bombing of the middle east. Failure to understand an alien culture. The hardship suffered by the population, the spread of Wahhabism by Saudi Arabia, the lack of security all fed the rise of ISIS.

Aware the money for reconstruction of Iraq is sitting somewhere in Lebanon. Why, who took it there? Who knows. Such slapdash attitude combined with constantly bombing the middle east adding to endless destabilization and instability isnt going to insure peace for the west either, whatever the government yap.

Everytime US bombs middle east its like a sales pitch, to sell to the repressive regimes.

Like shaking a fizzy bottle. Then being surprised it erupts.

He didnt do any of that. I think getting France and Britain to attack Libya was a mistake since it caused instability and chaos and refugees keep leaving Libya by boat and flooding France and England.



I would add imposing financial restrictions on Russia and meddling in the Ukraine is dangerous and foolish for the world.

so many to choose from. I would put the VA scandal first as this was one point that Obama even campaigned on. of course, along with the other scandals he was unaware until he read it in the papers.

a) ISIS didn't take over the Middle East.

b) He didn't forget our veterans and allow them to die.

c) He didn't use the IRS to attack and oppress dissenters.
