What has Obama done to deserve so much hate

When you hype something with unrealistic expectations it's only natural that it's going to fail.

He is the one many blame for the US leaning even more towards a socialist country. Conservatives really don't like that. And the fact that he took Mexico's side on the whole Arizona issue. American's in general like a president who sticks with his people. Just saying.

Of course! But you really need to go their lands and say, "We are not a Christian country!"? What is the point?

Do you go out and announce proudly "I am a white/black/hispanic person?" What is the point of that?

Maybe because he's spent more money in his first 21 months than Bush did in 8 years! His bailout was the worst thing imagined. What's wrong with letting private companies fail... it happens everyday. If the companies were being run more effeciently, they wouldn't have needed bailing out! Just look at Ford... they didn't require any bailout money. There are also many states that didn't take any bailout money because they knew that burden would be placed on taxpayers. One last thing, this new tax we all get to pay next for our employer's offered benefits is terrible. Adding the value of my health benefits to my gross income and then taxing me as if it's part of my income is how all of this spending will be paid for. Not to metion most of the money is being borrowed from China... not exactly one of our allies. I think this is enough reason to regret voting for Obama. Luckily, I had enough sense not to.jshaas

First off bush passed TARP, which bailed out the institutions. New healthcare tax? Link to this. The CBO has projected the healthcare law to save us money over time, and it is common sense that it will.

Nope. And need I remind you (obviously so) that Bush passed the bailout, not Obama.

Bush inherited a surplus of +846 Billion a year from Clinton, and turned it into record deficit levels (-800 billion a year) by the time he left office. How soon conservatives seem to forget.

If they were so about balancing the budget, they'd want another Clinton, not another Reagan.

You don't seem to have any idea what you're talking about. Love for islam, what? Praising the middle east, when? There are people in the US who would love to destroy the country as well, so should he not "praise" it? The US is not a christian country. Our law is based on the constitution, not the bible and the constitution specifically states that church and state are to be seperated in the establishment clause, and if you would like to know of the founder's intents, just look up Jefferson, Franklin or anyone else's views on the matter.

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"][QUOTE="The_LWR"]He made promises he couldn't keep. Sad, but he mostly has his campaign rhetoric to blame. The_LWR

What? He clearly has kept thr vast majority of his promises, what are you talking about?

I really wish he was allowed to get back into the office. He was one of the best presidents IMO. A pimp in a suit....:P

Nothing, thats just it, nothing...

And also spend an enormous amount of money on things we don't need.

Hes done nothing but spend money.

He only gets hate from the other side. Everything he does is the worst thing of all time from a neocon stand point.

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"][QUOTE="The_LWR"]I explained a reason people dislike him, it's because they expected more of a "CHANGE". I don't see why this is so hard to grasp.The_LWR

Politicians have a tendency to get blamed for essentially every problem on the planet by those who are opponents on the political battlefield, opinion shows, people who are presumptuous and biased towards their political opinions, as well as a whole plethora of other reasons. Much political praise results from similar causes. Obama is no exception to the rule.

He became president.SmittyPeppers

Basically, this.

Umm... puts a slightly different image in my mind.

I'm a Marxist, and Obama is most definitely NOT one of us. I'd advise you look up the definition of Marxism.

Umm...no. Have you even read The Communists Manifesto, or are you just parroting Glenn Beck? Obama is nowhere near Marxist. A quick Junior High government class can clear this up for you.

Predictable rebuttal is predictable. These arguments invariably begin (or at least end) with the left-of-center participant using some combination fo the terms Glenn Beck, Fox News, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, fear monger, racist, xenophobe, hate, and close-minded; all while simultaneously claiming that Conservatives resort to the same tired old lines when criticizing the Obama government. But to answer your question, yes, i've read the Communist Manifesto, and all of Marx's works. His critiques of liberal capitalism, and the way in which he molded them in with his aversion to the economic and political dominance of the west correlates nicely with Obama's own international outlook.fidosim

I wasn't critizing consevatives, just you. You're obviously confused.

In a Marxist state, there is no state. No politican can be a Marxist because it's impossible for a state to dissolve itself, but must rather be moved to Communism through proletarian revolution.

I bet you think the USSR and China were/are communists too, don't you? :lol:

Marxism is a stateless and classless society. No government exists in the Marxist state, just the local apparatus. Think: community-organized communities. Thus the term COMMUNism.
