Obama is the most disrespected President in America's political history

[QUOTE="theone86"]

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]The biggest part of this is the age we live in... -if the media coverage had always been as it is now, then you could say the same thing about numerous presidents in the past (ones already named in this thread) -the media used to respect the position, and public opinion is shaped by media coverage Besides, Bush got just as much hate (and still does)QuistisTrepe_

Still think Bush deserved it. Waging an illegal war, authorizing interrogation techniques that violate international law, spearheading legislation that violates our civil liberties, expanding the power of the executive office without the proper authority to do so, leaving the economy in tatters, yeah there's no reason whatsoever anyone would dislike him. Oh, and here's the most telling sign, everything that everyone is up in arms at Obama for doing, expanding the scope of the federal government, spending federal money without finding a way to pay for it, increasing the national debt, expanding government run health care, yeah Bush did all of that, guess it's not a problem when an old white guy does it though.

How much of that was actually Bush's fault. It was actually Bush and McCain that tried to do something about more oversight over FannieMae and FreddieMac, FYI. But why let reality get in the way of one's irrational rantings?

An illegal war, so then Obama is just as much of a criminal then for escalating Afghanistan and for encroaching into Pakistan. Was Pakistan an imminent threat?

Expanding the powers of the executive office, well now, did the news of the PATRIOT act getting renewed twice with Democrats controlling the White House and both houses of Congress get by you? Ever heard of ACTA, the treaty that the Obama administration has negotiated in secret?

Again, why let facts and reality get in the way of a good partisan rant?

And (almost) everyone was all on board everything after 9/11rawsavon

He likely ripped this debunked nonsense from MoveOn.org or from Code Pink. I'm all for a good discussion, but I haven't any patience for rambling, partisan nonsense.

No, he's not. Do some research and take a look at the things politicians and presidential candidates have said about each other before there was television and radio.

My sister just graduated from there.

Obama isn't even close to America's most disrespected President honestly.Danm_999

yeah lol... Bush and Nixon all the way. Its not even close to how much they were hated.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Yeah, but by the definition of racism you believe that racial differences produce an inherent superiority or inferiority.

I'm glad to see democracy is alive and well. It's your right to speak your mind just as it's every americans. You have the right to dislike thier opinion and vise versa. That's what makes AMERICA soooo great a nation. So go ahead and whine, you have a right to a mediatized opinion as all americans do. Too bad more americans can't think for themselves though. Like the saying goes: "You can lead a tard to a library but you can't make him think."

[QUOTE="Shattered007"]

So, apparently Obama is an Evil illegal alien anti-Christ being Marxist Muslim that pows around with terrorist that's racist towards whites and wants' to destroy America... That was before his inauguration.

Now he's a Communist being socialist Hitler that wants' to destroy America's economy through Socialized health-care and weaken the countries defense with his nuclear weapons intuitive,that's had a terrorist attack on American soil already and allowed national unemployment to climb to its highest in 30 years, radical idiot.

What's up with this crazy amount of hated towards our current president?

Shattered007

He better not. We need him like that, so that the natural dynamics of things change at the right time. You don't want such gene educated in politics

Hatred is a feeling just like love is, it's a natural felling. The media tells us we should not hate, but learn to get along instead. I'm sure Lucifer would have told God that also, back in the day. When God hated what the people in Sadom & Gamora were doing he destroyed the cities. He didn't just say to himself, I should just let them do as they will. We are made in Gods image so it's ok to hate what is wrong, especially if it affects our society in a bad way. If getting along means keeping your mouth shut while someone isdestroying our nation then someone is pedaling the wrong scripture.The media will never tell you this because they have an agenda that isn't of christian values. They've made upthier own bible that suits themselves and the power elite they protect.

Bush Jr., Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, and Andrew Johnson were all hated pretty well too. Obama is taking a lot more criticism than he deserves (maybe) but since Health Care passed, he's been doing quite a lot that's good for the country, aside from cancelling the Constellation Project (I think that's what it's called).

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Uh huh...and one can believe that of their own race...STurn21

I think you need to reread the definition you posted....

You can't just throw words into it after you already quoted it.

[QUOTE="WestSideAzn"]He's okay... I still don't see change that he promised.... Acemaster27

[QUOTE="The_Last_Ride"][QUOTE="Apostle92627"] And Obama doesn't? WTF?!Apostle92627

Let's see, ObamaCare and damaging relations with Israel come to mind. There are other things he did I don't agree with.

Admired by some, hated by others. Liberals rally to his side alot quicker than conservatives rallied to Bush's side. Overall I'd say Bush was more disrespected. Even Bush's aparant supporters (Hannity, Limbaush, O'rielly) all often say "I was no huge Bush supporter". Have you ever heard a liberal even say that about Obama?
