The bankers:

Last I've seen some have paid huge fines and gone to jail. It isn't a perfect world.

Foreign Affairs:

He did the right things everywhere, if you take into account the alternatives. If he went against the waves, we'd be in war everywhere now, with hundreds of thousands of troops around the middle east. NO. With respect to Iraq, Maliki would not allow US troops in Iraq with IMMUNITY. Obama said no. That seems to be different now that Maliki has been ousted after fkng it all up.

In Afghanistan, same story. With Karzai out, things will get better. HE has to stay on top of that one.

Obama did the right things.

Gitmo:

He was fought tooth and nail by the republicans on it. If he'd gone ahead with it, they'd call him a dictator(they already do, anyway). Case closed.

No one is perfect, but all the big issues, he dealt with, including Obamacare, he did the right thing. Obamacare works. It is awesome for people to get insurance. He did screw up for the few that had plans they couldn't keep, but that was a hiccup. They all have insurance now, and most who were screaming were crying wolf. But he did seem dishonest. On appearances he lost that one, but on substance he's won every time.

I couldn't blame him on Ukraine, because he kept them on the Western alliance rather than letting them lick Putin's boot, even though they lost Crimea because they didn't want to fight for it.

Democrats cannot allow "confusion" to make them say stupid stuff about Obama.

zz,

Most of us realize GWB opened a can of worms & upset the apple cart.

Obama faced many catastrophic problems when he took office.
He handled some better than others.
He has stumbled with some, foreign affairs, the bankers, Gitmo, to name a few.

IMO, he is one of the worst 'politicians' to hold the office.

While he is one of the best 'campaigners' he has NO substantial relationships with any in Congress, including HIS own party!
Tragic, for the country!
