Obama was one of the world's most popular leaders when he was elected.

In fact, they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize before he even got started.

I suppose if someone thought it was a big mistake to get out of Iraq, then he may be one of the worst presidents ever?

If one thought giving health coverage to 30 million more Americans is a terribly bad thing, then I guess he is one of the worst Presidents ever?

If you think it was bad and uncalled for to spend huge amounts and run huge deficits for like five or six years, then I guess he may be one of the worst presidents ever, unless, of course, you might think we may have gone into a deep depression?

Yes, some may think he is the worst president ever...

I think he made a big mistake in thinking he could actually get the worst GOP Congressional delegation in history to compromise, but, otherwise, he's done very well considering that he had to deal with, well, the worst GOP Congressional delegation in history.

And for the second time/Dem President in a row, we know that the GOP doesn't care about governance. They just want to find a way to bring the president "down." It's beyond any sense of reason.

This president has been cleaning up the mess "aided" by the House of Representatives responsible for the sobriquet Worse Congress Ever. I'd say he did pretty good all things considered.

In fact in spite of the resistance he's been up against he's still done pretty damn good. You have to realize that the resistance from the pukes is well calculated to make him look bad above any and all else.

Some on the left seem to be pretty much the same way too best I can tell.

I like my President very much thank you

crap, plus all of the racism ... and a totally worthless congress for the most part with the republican obstructionists. And, all of the sh** going on in the world!

and he has done a lot of good. Is he the best ever? No, but he is FARRRR away from being the worst. I have zero regret giving him my vote twice (although it didn't matter here in Texass)
