Why do you consider Obama a successful president?

[K9Buck]

Thanks in advance.

 

[TNHarley]

I dont think that. I think he was terrible.
Do you want you "thanks" back?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Not in the least.

I am not sure who the last “successful” president was but for sure not the last two and likely not the current one

I certainly wasnt alive...

Define "successful".

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

The only success he had was in firing up the race war.

Thanks in advance.

The question should be "Why would you consider Obama a successful president?"

 

[rightwinger]

Was The Great Obama successful?

Stopped a Depression
Saved the Banks and Auto Companies
Cut the deficit in half
Added 13 million jobs
Passed Obamacare
Got Iran to abandon its nukes
Killed bin Laden
Recognized Cuba

Not too shabby for a community organizer

 

[TheOldSchool]

Without Obama, all of us would barely know a single thing about birth certificates. Your very own neighbors could scribble their birthplace on a dirty napkin, and you’d never know they were fooling you.

So thank you Obama

 

[bendog]

Thanks in advance.

Sure, they never found his real birth certificate.

Daffy Duck could have done half of them and most of the rest have been or are being reversed since they were huge mistakes.

Seriously, we got through without deflation. He should have compromised on something less comprehensive on healthcare. But he didn't stick us in any wars, and we have moved somewhat on the race issue. Assimilating blacks has been this country's second largest challenge since the founding.

Republicans didn’t

Took the Great Obama to come in and rescue America from the Bush disaster

Compromising on healthcare was one of his worst mistakes. How many GOP amendments were shoved into that bill? All for them to butcher and sabotage it over the years anyways.

So, Obama was successful for what he didn't do. The jury is out on Obama. He was not consequential and mediocre at best.

 

[K9Buck]

Well, he overthrew Qaddafi and today Libya is worse than ever and now they have open-air slave markets. He also tried to overthrow Assad, which resulted in the biggest humanitarian crisis the world has seen in many, many years with millions of Syrians fleeing to neighboring countries, Europe and the U.S. I'd say that Libya and Syria were two huge fuckups for Obama.

Well, if it's not bipartisan the gop can always disclaim it. The gop only does tax cuts, because if you don't pay for them, they're painless today. IF you really want to affect change, it has to be bipartisan.

But the gop was taken over by the tea party, who were tools of Norquist and Armey and the Kochs. The agenda was aimed at no compromise and blowing the house up.

So, now the GOP is incable of repealing the Medicaid expansion, and millions want the subsidies. The fed govt has a duty to find a way for all to find affordable care. Under Reagan, the gop never said it was against helping people if they couldn't afford it. But the funders of the tea party wanted to do just that. Politically, that is a loser position.

Obama was not totally unsuccessful on healthcare. And the deficits were declining when he left office after what could have been .... really bad deflation.

Europe is not as well off. And they really are the incubator for religious tolerance.

 

[rightwinger]

The Great Obama returned our prestige around the world and rebuilt out alliances

Sadly, our current president has destroyed our global leadership

Libya is not on Obama. Obama's insticts were to do nothing.

And yes, I've said he didn't stem the migrant crisis. But W caused it.

If the goal was to divide America, pissoff our allies and give Terrorist nations a helping hand, he was the most successful POTUS.
