Better than anyone !

Benjamin is 13.

How is that at all relevant to the conversation?

Nah guys Jon Stewart is Superior

How is that at all relevant to the conversation?

It is irrelevant to you; the sentence was addressed to someone else.

Only Canada's conservative government wanted to reach a deal with Obama about Keystone XL. A majority of Canadians opposed this pipeline. We are very thankful to Obama for blocking it.

It's one of the many reasons why a new liberal government has been elected not long ago.

I can assure you won't hear about Keystone XL for a very long time.

Are there any other reason we're supposed to dislike Obama

...

Wow, you're dumb.

I'm still waiting for the hope and change boyz

"Wow, you're dumb."


Don't you love when you just want a calm debate and someone have no argument left and just start throwing out insults?

I'll quietly take my leave from this topic. xD

He just doesn't want to waste time on your absurdity, is all. You are not dumb, you're just ignorant. You take into consideration everything good (in your view) Obama's actions have done for CANADA, but nowhere and nothing else. He has plenty of argument left, but since you are so blind to President Obama's cons, why should he try to open your eyes to them? The cons are there in front of our faces.

Darth Darth Binks, you might have missed my other reply at the top of this page. I commented about the economy, among other things, in it.

I never claimed I know everything. Why don't you tell me in a serious, unbiaised and impartial way why Obama is a terrible president for the USA?

There have been more tensions with African Americans. Can't deny that. There has been the mass surveillance scandal involving Snowden. Can't forget about that one either. There have been more drone strikes than before. I have to admit it.

But the USA dollar is strong. There have been more jobs and a lower unemployment rate despite an higher debt. You also gained gay marriage and better relations with Cuba. Obamacare is a step toward universal healthcare.

Is this factual enough for you??

LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANYMORE. I got tons of oppo reserach!! :)

Not. Ronald. Reagan.

Very factual. Thank you very much. =3

You provided several good reasons why Obama may not be a good president. Although some of these are pretty silly, such as "# of Rounds of Golf". xP

I guess I'm just ok with more taxes and spending in general if it provides more services for all and less poverty. It sucks that the poverty rate increased during Obama's term, too.

Obamas family spent 20x more on themselves (IE luxuries, golfing, food, security, etc.) than the entire 50+ members of the royal family combined. (This was in a news article so I am not 100% sure of its accuracy).

But the USA dollar is strong. There have been more jobs and a lower unemployment rate despite an higher debt. You also gained gay marriage and better relations with Cuba. Obamacare is a step toward universal healthcare.

1. As my alt has stated, unemployment rates should not be trusted. They count people who are on unemployment and welfare (I believe; I'm going off the top of my head) as employed. It tells you how many jobs have been earned, but not how many have been lost.

2. The Gay Marriage ruling should never have been conducted by Supreme Court if we wanted to treat our legal system with any respect. Unfortunately, the people do not read up on our own rules, and President Obama has the Court wrapped around his finger (he's not the only president to have done this). I am more than willing to brief you on why it wasn't really legal, but not on this list.

3. Obamacare is illegal. But again we see Supreme Court wagging their tails for the president. What they passed as a tax is not in any way a tax, and is illegal.

4. You'd think he would spend time fixing our country, but no. He got us involved in many Middle Eastern nations we already weren't dealing with, and other countries; seven of which we have bombed. That's three more than Bush.

5. Racial tension. This is a big one, domestically speaking. His words have completely antagonized the police force, which is not a good thing. There are already many in the black community living with the "fuck the police" mentality, but this idiot's actions and words have paved the way for more.

6. He advocated the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. This can fall under number 4, but I want to highlight this one specifically, because the Brotherhood fought for Hitler, because they want the end of the Jews. Look it up.

7. He promised that with Obamacare (the AFFORDABLE Care Act), we could keep our insurance. Utter bullshit. My family couldn't keep our insurance, and our insurance price has doubled. We are not the only ones.

8. The Keystone Pipeline isn't a bad plan...

9. He has done nothing to stop the crawling debt. We are around $18,806,670,000,000 in debt, which will be changing.

10. He has antagonized the Republican Party. Instead of bringing the parties together, he antagonized the Republican Party. As a result, sh*t happened in the Legislative Branch. And when I say sh*t, I mean next to nothing.

11. He refuses to call terrorists "terrorists." He uses the term "Islamic extremists," as if they are not terrorists. His need for political correctness is not helping.

12. He has not helped with border control. Illegal immigration is a big problem. Half of all gang members in the USA are Hispanic.

And people can only be on unemployment and welfare for a limited time. This means unemployment (according to varying polls) is actually much higher (almost triple, according to some) than what the government claims.

It's me, NAD.

I've always had a little room in my heart for Tyrion. It makes sense.

Darth, I agree with you completely.

+1 to most of what Darth said.

I have absolutely to objection to what you said, Dark. In fact, this is exactly the kind of post I was looking for.

The only thing I am unsure about is when you mention that the Gay Marriage ruling should never have been conducted by the Supreme Court. Can you elaborate on this?
