Why do people hate Obama?

[GenKiDama]

because they don't know what they are talking about.

Your right. But Obama can pull those troops out if he wishes to, but he won't. :| Therefore the lives of the American people are still endangered. U_U

This is true, and I will rant on Obama about that later. However, we must always give credit where credit is due, and that's for having the Obama administration having a relatively slow-progression of debt, which is a good thing.

It's a terrible thing, however, to have some people adamantly believe the mathematically-impossible opposite that somehow the administration just dump 20 trillion into debt in five years, when our combined GDP cannot fathom this much in such a short period of time.

one of the worst presidents this country has had

Some people do not know nothing about how our Government operates so they focus that hatred on to the one that stands out. The President. The hatred of the people should be directed at members of Congress.

True. Many people have the double standard though. Everything was bushs fault, and nothing was Obamas fault.

You cant pick and choose.


To the OP

Im fine with the fact that he shares a different viewpoint on how the government should be run, and stuff.

Im not fine with him campaigning instead of leading, or with him misleading americans.

If he is misleading them due to him not being informed, then that is incompetence, as the president has all the resources available to be very imformed.(ex. "If you like your insurance you will be able to keep it PERIOD.")

In that example he may not have known that people would lose insurance. But then there lies the problem. He aggresively pushed to implement the ACA into law, and as such he should have at least known the very important negative consequences(side effects) of the ACA.

If he is misleading them, and he knows it, then he is straight up lieing to his people he is supposed to serve. I dont really need to explain why that is bad and wrong.


At the very least he could issue a true heartfelt apology for misleading people about the ACA(not a short apology)


And lastly you have all the scandals that have gone on during his presidency, and the spending that has gone on during his presidency. Many of these things are not his personal fault, and things such as spending are not in his control. However he still has influence over what goes on.


To put it simply. People "hate" obama for many of the same reasons people hate bush.

And there are also people who see the threat of socialism(something obama does push for), on the principles the nation was founded on(freedom).

Lastly he pushes for bigger government. Which there are a whole multitude issues tied around that.


Obama is certainly not the best president. How bad/good he is will be determined once his term is over. He still has 2-3 years to do good, or do bad.


(the main reason i dont like him, is he does not govern....he is still in campaign mode, 5 years after his first term, and after getting elected into the second....he is not a leader at all)

Sadly, people ain't't too smart to realize this, so they follow the ignorant american thinking.

I don't hate him.

I think he's a shitty President though. Of course it's not all his fault, but when you're the leader, all of the criticism will be directed to you, and making excuses for that won't change anything.
