Obama Cares For America And The World

[LittleSally]

If I were American I would be so proud of Obama...and hopefully you - the American people - appreciate him and all he's done for you!

He has a 58% approval rating - which is just nuts! So I guess you really do appreciate him!

When he took office America was in one of the worst crises scine the Great depression - and look at ya now!

- added 13.700 000 jobs to the economy
- lowered the unemployment from 10% to 5% ---can you say steady economy?
- reduced federal budget by two thirds since 2009
- stock market tripled
- saved auto industry: 2015 - highest amount of American cars sold in US history
- doubled the amount of clean energy
- authorized the rade that killed Osama Bin Laden
- encouraged states (18 states successfully) to increase their minimum wage
- fought for the Paris agreement [initiative to reduce global climate change]
- passed the act to hold Wall Street accountable if you guys have another financial chrisis (responsibility - always welcome)
- repealed Don't ask don't tell (which was extremely homophobic)
- supporter for gay marriage

I'm proud of him too:
* He (and Bush) have spent over 5 billions of US taxpayers money to fund coup d'etat in Ukraine, effectively allowing us to return Crimea under our righteous rule; Novorossiya is soon to return to us as well.
* He bombed Middle East so hard, it gave us an opportunity to even somewhat unite (or at least somewhat cooperate) Turkey and Iran.
* He really managed to rebuild our confidence and pride by constantly fearmongering US vassals in Europe how strong and dangerous we are.
* He effectively forced US vassals in Europe to introduce sanctions that backfired terribly against Europe, while giving us a kick to start developing our own shit.
* Under his (and Bush) rule Islamic State was created, which a great training dummy for our military and navy ^_^
* He (and Bush) were very useful in promoting anti-Americanism in Europe.

I gotta miss this monkey, he was awesome. A few more years under his rule and I'm quite positive we'd return Alaska as well... Mmmmm... Alaska...

[Iraqveteran666]

... unfortunately all true..
Have you seen the women in Alaska. Mooooo!!!

[Eugene]

UPD:
* And, of course, under his rule they gave birth to an awesome brand "Russian Hackers". It's awesome on many levels and for different reasons (would be too long to explain why).
* Under his rule US/EU media really took a serious blow to their credibility, which allowed our news agencies, such as Russia Today, to emerge as an alternative source of actual news with constantly growing viewer's base.

I really hope that one day it'll turn out he was our agent, because he deserves a medal <3

[Iraqveteran666]

I agree. The democrats used the media as propaganda to skewer the truth and lie.

[Eugene]

@Iraqveteran666 well, not only them -- legacy media connected to other parties did it as well. So they aren't "an alternative"; to try to separate them is as pointless as trying to tell apart horse shit, bull shit and human shit -- does it matter at the end?

While Sputnik & Russia Today are *actually* an alternative, which covers pretty much everything, regardless if it's pleasant for us or not. And more and more people turn to it. Considering that US and EU officials try to ban it only stresses it.

[Eugene]

And now I'm kinda sad that unless yet another retard will replace Trump, our chance of getting Alaska back home is fading ;(

[Iraqveteran666]

Maybe if you offered money to buy it back

[Eugene]

@Iraqveteran666 actually, it is us who haven't received the payment in full ever since we've sold it, hence why I'd desire to rather have the product back rather than the refund.

[Iraqveteran666]

Yeah you guys still owe us money for the armsand war materials we sold you in ww1&2.

[Eugene]

@Iraqveteran666 nah, it's been repaid fully.

[Iraqveteran666]

Not a penny.

[RainbowFanGirl]

I'm tired of people shitting on Obama. He tried his best to make America better for everyone, and everyone is still not satisfied. People are never happy with anything.

[DontStepOnTheCat]

its because he was one of the worst presidents in history. because of obama we are set back 80 years in racial divides.

[RainbowFanGirl]

@DontStepOnTheCat Bush was way worse than Obama, and Trump is gonna fuck shit up more.

[DontStepOnTheCat]

nah obama was far worse then bush in every measurable way.

[RainbowFanGirl]

@DontStepOnTheCat obama didn't start a war. Obama didn't direct troops to kill Osama Bin Laden. Bush didn't lift the embargo with Cuba. Bush didn't sign the bill to make gay marriage legal. Obama didn't spend billions on a pointless wall when that money can be going to our education system.

[DontStepOnTheCat]

OBAMA STARTED MANY WARS.

[RainbowFanGirl]

@DontStepOnTheCat Nah. He didn't. He brought the troops back from afganistan.

[ThisAndThat]

Just ask the Syrian's.

[DontStepOnTheCat]

@ThisAndThat she's a typical leftist,. she has an opinion without having education.

[ThisAndThat]

@DontStepOnTheCat Absolutely.

[RainbowFanGirl]

@DontStepOnTheCat "typical leftist" lol everyone who doesn't like Trump is a leftist according to you. Please stop using liberal and leftist as an insult.

[RainbowFanGirl]

@ThisAndThat He didn't start that war. How did Obama have anything to do with the Syrian war?

[ThisAndThat]

Didn't start a war? LOL hey there's this country called Syria, ever heard of it?

[ThisAndThat]

How did he start a war? Where have you been hiding for the last 8 years? Now as far as Bush goes, his brother didn't get elected did he? If you're guessing the people woke up by now you'd be right and that's exactly how and why Trump got elected people or sick of the horse s**t and lies. You seem to think the border has no importance but education does. Why don't you explain what education can do without the jobs when your educated? Illegals have stolen practically all of our good jobs with the intent of stealing our country too, NO S**T! Hispanics and African American's voted in high numbers for Trump despite what the lying media has told you. The MSM media is outright lying and there's plenty proof of that all you need do is look for it. The MSM even tried to discredit the huge numbers that showed up at Trump's inauguration. Don't think the treats to our country are real? Wake up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajkAP_M4ZAM

[EL_MORRIS]

@RainbowFanGirl, it's ok. They have no right to assume you don't have an education. It's really sad they said that to, because every single person who I know who misses Obama had a bachelor's degree. You know how it is. These people run on ethnocentrism.

[EL_MORRIS]

Oh for those of you who don't know what that word means:

Ethnocentrism: one's belief that their way is better based on cultural and ethnic biases. We "leftists", as you call us, are venting like this because we are sick and tired of ethnocentrism existing! Cultural relativism might be a better way to go so we can all get along.

[RainbowFanGirl]

@EL_MORRIS Thank you!

[ThisAndThat]

@EL_MORRIS I don't and won't relate to things like men using the women's room thinking or wanting wishing they were women or killing babies at all much less full term abortions, open NWO borders with tons of citizens coming from a war torn country coming in as refugees using up our resources. If that's what you call cultural relativism you can take that somewhere else perhaps to another country where they'll except known as no other country in the world. You're in a dream and it will take you a few years obviously to grow up to realize it.

[Anonymous]

His "58%" approval rating comes from a rigged poll, they do the same thing to make Trump look bad for instance one poll that puts Trump unfavorably has the fine print of:

"A total of 1,000 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. Among the entire sample, 32% described themselves as Democrats, 24% described themselves as Republicans, and 44% described themselves as independents or members of another party"

By including 8% more registered democrats, you all but guarantee a favorable view of a democrat such as Obama, or a negative view of a Republican such as Trump, not to mention "other parties" are not specified, as Green Party members typically have a much higher view of dems than reps.

As for your points if I may rebut point by point:

1. According to the BLS it was 11.3 million, so much like the "opinion polls" that number was padded. Second most of those jobs seem to be in the part time service industry. "Would you like fries with that?"

2. He did nothing to lower it. Unemployment isn't unlimited over the past 8 years the states have been kicking people off it. That is why its so low, no one can find a job, so they get kicked off then brainwashed democrats pretend that "The job market is good."

3. Federal budget, did you mean deficit? Please be more specific. Because his "cutting the deficit by two-thirds" Is because the first year included all the bailouts, and "stimuli" of course it's going to be significantly lower. The question is, in the future will it be on the right track? The answer seems to be no.

4. Horray for Wall St.! Wall St. for Obama, Wall St. for the democrats! Maybe that's why they financed both his campaigns so thoroughly...

5. Record number of cars sold... American car companies still not as good as the competition.

6. Gotta give him props on this one, still its not enough, and let's not forget he greenlit fracking.

7. Yes he did

8. "Encouraged"? He sat by and did nothing, and tried to take some credit.

9. While he gets props for supporting it, he doesn't for failing bringing people together to sign anything.

10. ?

11. He did

12. Much like Clinton he was against it before he said he was for it. It was clearly a crass purely political move.

[rjroy3]

1. The same people who are giving out the approval ratings are the same people that said the polls showed Hillary was going to smash Trump in the Electoral College votes.

2. If Obama cared about the people, especially poor people. He would never had changed to tax bracket to include poor people who previously wouldn't get taxed until a certain income was made. If you were living off of minimum wage you wouldn't pay tax until you made a certain amount for the year. Under Obama you got taxed from dollar one. How thoughtful of him right?

3. He didn't add any jobs to the economy. All of the jobs that grew were in the oil and gas industry which came from the oil boom and the advent of fracking. But the funny thing is this was despite Obama who was adamantly against the industry. He cut off offshore drilling in America during his first administration. He cut the number of permits for drilling in half. He literally did all he could to hemorrhage our ability to rely on our own energy, because he was pushing for electric. Luckily technology and the oil boom allowed for us to grow despite his actions.

4. He reduced the budget? I'd love to see that, because he never submitted a budget since he started. He even denied the budget plans presented to him.

5. I'll give him some credit for Osama Bin Laden. But to be fair that would have happened under any president in his place. He was given the information that they found him. All he had to do was say, "Yes". Imagine what would have happened if they told him they had Bin Laden's location and he didn't authorize them to go in.

President Obama has some legitimate positives. But let's be real about it. Based on his accomplishments he is going to be a very forgettable president.

[VictoriousSausage]

there are a few discrepancies here and there, but i'm shocked at the hate in the comments on this one, as a Brit, i have no real understanding in what living under an Obama presidency was like, but from here, it looked pretty good, and that's not because of the state of my country, i genuinely think he was a kind and caring president, there may be a few things he did which seem shady, but overall, a nice leader, and strong too, stood up to Russia instead of bending over and kissing their asses. there will be mixed opinions on Obama, but he was a good leader, in my opinion, for stabilizing America, right now your country is being plunged into fear both on what the president is doing and saying, and how the media is covering it. i am extremely concerned at the route the world is taking, i understand the fears people are having today, the worries of immigration and the feeling of detachment from the establishment. but i don't think this is the right cause of action, and in fact, will bring more pain to all of us.

[EL_MORRIS]

Ok let me explain a little something about us Americans. We argue, we argue, we argue. It is what happens when one party's candidate wins and the other doesn't. Instant argument erupts. And then we flaunt the freedom of speech constitutional amendment (the first amendment) around like see I have a right to get into heated discussions and then verbally abuse the other people who think otherwise because it is allowed in the constitution! That is America for you! And the problem is this is all 100% allowed. So yeah, the comments here can be a little shocking, especially now that it's pretty much you like/ed Obama, and you absolutely 100% HATE Trump. It is crazy here. My neighbors are basically either saying, "Buckle up, we are just getting started!" (Trump supporter) or "I woke up last night with a panic attack due to nightmares!" (Ant-Trump supporter).

[VictoriousSausage]

@EL_MORRIS yeah haha, i get what you're saying, it's the same with us Brits, we may seem calm and collected, but our politics and mindset isn't far from you Americans, it's probably due to the shared British Heritage, some scary stuff is happening now here in the UK, as is with America, the whole mindset of the nation has changed, very few believe the prime minister, but she's trying to make it seem like she's the gospel truth of knowledge, and she's forcing her will through parliament. it's a strange time to be a person brought up in a generation that doesn't expect anything like this at all (ie me and you)

[DonRomeo]

Jesus Christ, you only see what you want to see.
Libya Interference
Haiti interference
Syria interference and its part in refugee crisis
Continued Pakistan, Afghan bombings with drones
Continued presence in Iraq and Afghanistan
Persecution of whistleblowers
Failure to achieve his promise of closing Guantanamo Bay/X-ray
Bailing out the bankers
Souring relationships with Russia
Continuing NMD policy
Making no move to block automation and outsourcing of jobs
Permitting further sweeping intelligence agency powers
Continually lying to you, manipulating through a focus on acting and stagecraft
And so many others it's too much to think of right now.

[Words_and_Wisdom]

"But but muh Peace Prize!"

[EL_MORRIS]

@Words_and_Wisdom Who here watches FOX news?

[Words_and_Wisdom]

@EL_MORRIS I dunno. Who?

[EL_MORRIS]

@Words_and_Wisdom I don't know either. I was just asking!

[kickme]

worst president ever.

Added 10 trillion to the national debt, more than all Presidents before him COMBINED.

First president never to achieve even 1 year of 3% GDP growth.

Highest income inequality in history

Race relations set back 50 years

More people killed by warfare worldwide than under any modern president

record politcal losses for the democratic party in congress and governorships

record underemployment levels

wasted more taxpayer money on things like failed solar companies than any preisdent ever.

raised energy prices for EVERYONE

did nothing to support the fracking movement, the only economic success story of his presidency

Increased gayness

Ruined healthcare for 97% of Americans

Looks great in the same fake polls that said Trump had no chance of winning

[TadCurious]

Barack Obama promised Americans that under the Affordable (?) Care Act (a/k/a Obamacare) that "if you like your current health insurance plan you'll be able to keep it under my new plan. And if you like your doctor you can keep your same doctor. And premiums will go down on average $2500 per family."
None of that was true. In fact, we know that Obama knew none of that was true even while he was saying it. We know from administration sources that people in the Obama White House were telling him that saying what he did was inaccurate, and yet he kept saying it. Two of his former speechwriters went on the Charlie Rose show and laughed about how what they were writing for Obama was untrue. One of the architects of the Affordable (?) Care Act was caught telling an academic group that it was "the stupidity of the American voter" that enabled the law to pass Congress when the Democrats had control of both the House and Senate.

[Iraqveteran666]

Sorry but I don't trust approval ratings, statistics, polls, surveys or the rest of it. We saw what they were worth by the election results.
Under obama the liberal elites prospered while the working and middle classes had to beg for welfare to survive.
He and Hillary funked up Syria and Libya. Created Isis. Made things worse in Iraq. Lucked China's button. Made Russia and enemy. Started a war in the Ukraine. Oversaw and did nothing about 8 years of worsening racial division and tension. Ignored for 8 years the please of average Americansalary for a secure boarder to stop liberal elites exploiting cheap illegal Mexican labor and bring back jobs and industry to the American people instead of more welfare.
Obama will go down as a failure in history.

[RegularTK421]

Is that what they tell people? Lmao, we are in the highest debt to gdp ratio since ww2. He has bombed two foreign nations by executive order (Syria and Libya) turning them into chaotic civil wars. He has sold the two largest arms deals in the world both to Saudi Arabia, (right before they started their campaign in Yemen against the Houthis). Let's link some real world economic statistics. Not to mention the scandals, the ACA (not universal healthcare), Ukraine, and him outright supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Yeah what a guy.

[Anonymous]

lol @ OBAMA gave $221m of our money to terrorists the day he was leaving office without having authority from congress. What a nice guy.
Obama colluded with the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates artificially low while he was in office AND Obama printed around 4 trillion dollars to artificially inflate the economy... knowing it has the very real possibility of collapsing soon because of his actions.
Polls have been proven to lie since the election. And employment numbers are inaccurate. My once thriving town is now a ghost town thanks to Obama and the factories here closing to move to Canada and Mexico, but true, there are more fast food jobs to replace the factory jobs. -.-
I could keep going but I'm bored.

[xXJRICHARDS1996Xx]

Obama cares for the world... except for the Coptic community in Egypt and all of those minorities around the Middle East like Christians, Yazidis, and Shias who are suffering genocide because of his disastrous foreign policy. Supporting terrorists in Syria who seek to overthrow a progressive, democratically elected president and establish Sharia Law, funding the Muslim Brotherhood, and utilizing drone warfare. It was a good thing that Vladimir Putin finally stepped in when he did. Otherwise Christianity in the Middle East may very well have went extinct under Barack Obama.

[EL_MORRIS]

Well... I have to say, I am so glad Putin stepped in and "bought" the United States of America, because that thought is better than the one I am having right now... (thought: Holy mother! Trump is in office and anyone from middle east countries cannot come into the United States! Including Christians!)

[ThisAndThat]

@EL_MORRIS You are so misinformed it's not even funny. Yeah a country had been buying up the US alright but it's not Russia, it happens to be communist China. Research would do you good before you vent. You mentioned freedom of speech and guess who wanted to take away that freedom from you? If you guessed Obama and Hillary you are right! But I'm guessing you didn't. Don't wait on the MSM mainstream mass media fake news to tell you, just research it for yourself you'll see.

[MassimoGaliano]

US propaganda is some of the best ever. So is progressive garbage in the west. Until the USA and the rest of the west prints it's own money, there will never be peace. If Obama abolished the federal reserve, stopped funding rebels in the middle east, withdrew US military actions across the world and actively denounced Israel, maybe I would respect him.
He obviously never cared about anyone besides the interests of those who put him in that position. [Which was not the American people, democracy doesn't really exist, you never have a real choice]

[madhatters4]

i think the good he did far outweigh the negatives, like benghazi. for every negative there are about 5 positives people can point to. opponents however overlook the positives and would lead you to believe obama destroyed our country even though it's in a far better place than it was when he took office in 2008

[ThisAndThat]

OK folks, another one ^ gets the drug test!

[madhatters4]

@ThisAndThat yawn

[Scrambledagain]

Obama is the only man to bomb seven different countries and win a peace prize for his efforts.

America's involvement in the Middle East is actually illegal according to international law.

[Kirah]

Don't forget he performed a drone strike on an American citizen.

[RealandGenuine]

Nope, and don't miss him either. The fact that he went along with anything... I'm known to my friends and family as being real so here it goes.. I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I don't believe in gay marriage. I'm sure some smart Alec will try to respond , that's your right. but it doesn't mean I'm changing my belief. some will dislike what I said probably. oh well, can't please everybody. .

[VictoriousSausage]

Well my names not Alec but...

while i think it's your right to have your opinion, i believe it's okay for both a gay and a straight man to be whatever they want to be, i don't think it's right to force people to do something they aren't comfortable with, imagine having to marry a man you don't love? i understand the points of view, especially from a religious standpoint, in fact it's one of the most interesting arguments i've found on the internet, i think you're entirely right to say what you want, and am glad you also appreciate that right, and hope my response hasn't offended you, but helped you to see there are two sides to the coin.

[ThisAndThat]

You're right on time!

[EL_MORRIS]

Ok, so I have heard this argument from my friend who can quote Genesis 100% correctly in all forms. But here is my smart Alec point of view, everyone has a right to voice their own opinion, but people in America have the freedom to make their own choices, just like how you chose to believe a man and a woman should be the only type of couple. If, you believe people who are LGBT are making the "choice" to be what they are, then don't they have a right to that choice? However, I do not believe it is a choice, due to the fact that my cousin is gay, and I know he had always felt different compared to his friends regarding sexual orientation. It is a hormonal aspect developed in the womb. So, these people were born this way. The Bible mentions Adam and Eve, but Adam and Eve were female and male... but gays and lesbians are female and male. The bible says man marries a wife, but never says man marries a woman specifically.

[ThisAndThat]

@EL_MORRIS OK for start you say homosexuals have no choice? What about pedophiles, do they have a choice? How about bestiality, do they have a choice? Are they developed in the womb too or does that exclusively permitted limited to the LGBT group? Now the Bible. The Bible does distinctively mention Genesis 2:22-24 - 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[a] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

1 Corinthians 7:3-5

The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body.

Now do you see where the Bible says SHE? You can clearly see where the Bible is talking about a man and a woman.

[SovereignessofVamps]

Even if some bad things are true, I don't think a totally innocent president exists! And the president doesn't just make a decision, it has to be agreed on by multiple people. If Obama did anything, it was really everyone who agreed.

[JudgmentDay]

@Waffles731

I really wish it were so, but not after I saw this, it made me questioned who he really is and what he had really done that he didn't want the American people to know:

I think it's a tendency for liberals and conservatives to avoid polls that counter their positions and jerk off to polls that support their positions. Are our egos that fragile? Are we that pathetic?

Confirmation bias is truly amazing to see in action.

[goaded]

It's a natural human reaction. You can always add a few counter facts here, I suppose. (Just, please, nothing from infowars or breitbart.)

For the people shitting on him for the nobel peace prize. He didn't ask for it. He even said he didn't know what he did to deserve it and even said he doesn't think he should have gotten it.

Don't blame Obama blame the nobel peace people. That was their bias not his.
