Is Obama the worst US President yet?

I think he is. Bush, while njo the best by any means, was not as bad as people say. Obama, meanwhile has gotten away with so much. He's hurt the US's economy more in the first 6 months of his presidency than Bush did in his 8 years in office. Let's just say that when Bush was president, Bill Gates could have singlehandedly paid off the national debt and have a bunch of cash left over. Not anymore. (I'm not saying he should have, I'm just using that as an example.)

Whoops. Change "njo" above to "not."

I really don't know. I haven't been fond of a president since... well... I've never actually liked a president now that I think about it.

No, not even close. Could that change in the future? Maybe, but to label Obama the worst president in U.S. history already is so ridiculous, especially considering how many awful presidents this country has already had, who did things that are just unimaginable.

I don't know much (anything) about American presidential history but i don't see how he could be.

Moral is at an all time high, foreign relations has never been better. America is actually liked, cause Obama is " cool "

The economy was hurt originally by ronald reagan...

so far obama is showing me he has absolutley no idea wth he's doing imo and quite frankly he's dong trial and error and the national debt is just getting worser with him now IMO i forgot to add that doesn't mean he's the worst but he's really not much better than Bush right now

Nah.

He's in the bottom 10 so far, though.

There were presidents before Bush and Obama you know.

For those of you who want an example... the debt has more than tripled (or quadrupled, can't keep that straight) since Bush was in office.

I don't think that Bush "got us into a war." I think a terrorist attack that kills more than 3000 people is an act of war. And you can't spend your way out of debt.

You can't judge him until his term is over. Things can change too quickly for you to be judging indefinitely.

So far I can't say he's been one of the better presidents, but not the worst either.

Maybe. But the way the "great foreign policies" are moving, it's almost as if thesse people want us to move towards Armeggedon...

Not even close. He's had some really tough things to deal with at this point. Bush at this time had just started to have the really tough choices land on his shoulders (what to do about 9/11) whereas Obama has been having to make tough calls since the start. Imo It's STILL too early to tell whether he is good or bad but right now he seems to be doing pretty decent, he's been focusing on the US foreign relations and their actually pretty good now and Universal health care is a great idea. Bush isn't even the worst though, you have to look pretty far back though to find ones who were worse. Ace6301

I agree with the TC. I'm even more concerned about where he wants to take this Country.

Well, he's no Richard Nixon... but then again, no president will ever be as great as Nixon.

Nohabs, he said he wanted to fundamentally change America... the most fundamental thing in America is the Constitution... no Constitution means... socialist/ facist government?

to early to judge. however he really has not accomplished anything that he wanted to which is no suprise to me. xbox360isgr8t

Sun Tzu, explain to me how running up a debt is the best way to get out of debt. You get out of credit card debt by putting more things on the credit card.

You are right on. We should all stand up and take notice of this radical

sigh. everyone wants instant gratification. It's not even been 1 year yet and people are already demanding that healthcare, the economy, car industry, and 2 wars be fixed. You do realize that things take time. Its not like theirs a "get out of jail free card" for the us. THINGS TAKE TIME. And answering your question, I have a question for you; Have you taken even a basic US history class?

/of course we can already judge his presidency when he's six months in it. ZookGuy

You can't sit still twiddling your thumbs, while hoping the deficit magically goes away. You have to spend money on infrastructure, and programs that will stimulate the economy.
