We didnt have 911 or anything close to that and he was a true "professional". Had to fight bigotry, racism, religious views, etc. It is impossible and stupid to say we were not better off under him than 911 Bush.

I believe that he is more in tune with the plight of average american citizens, and furthermore, he cares about their ability to live a better, more healthy and fulfilled life. He is more in line with my overall thinking about social programs and our place in the planetary scheme of things. I have respect for former President Bush,but his idealogy is just too far to the right to suit me.

I feel that without the push back from congressional leadership many more things could have been addressed in this country. President Obama has put forth the effort, has been upheld in his legislation (ACA) by the Supreme Court and when it has been his only recourse to implement the changes that will affect the American people he has issued Executive Orders. These measures prove his willingness to fight for the people of the USA and I support him.

Obama has been indesive when dealing with the Mid East. During the Arab Spring people needed encouragement and a partnership as they threw out their dictators. Syria was begging for help. It was apparent that Obama was sympathetic to demonstrators in Ferguson MO and this emboldened the thugs who attacked police. Obama increased costs of building new embassies, but requiring "bolder" archecture. Obama pulled out of Iraq without our weapons etc....gave into a foolish Iraq leader. Now everything our troops fought for is lost. Hurricane Sandy recovering was slow, but the press only dwells on Katrina. Economic recovery is so weak.... Young people under employed. Can't wait for him to leave office

Obama has created a debt that cannot be paid off. Al Qaida is winning the war and the President has all but given up on winning. He has cut deals to release captured militants that were legally captured on the battlefield. Obama has created a power vacuum in the Middle East. The US cannot stand up to Russian aggression. The debt is rising to the point of no return. Obama has pushed the race card in order to split the US. George Bush repaired the economy that Greenspan, the former head of the Federal Reserve had created by reducing the reserve rate and the prime interest rate too low to be sustained. When the fraud that was present under Clinton in the stock exchanges created the bubble of the 1990's. Bush was able to stop the fraud and send the criminals to prison. Obama has helped to create fraud in the healthcare system in order to get kickbacks for his friends and family

I don't believe in President Obama's agendas. I don't like his healthcare laws. President Obama brags that more people in America have heathcare more than ever, but that's because if they don't they get fined. I don't believe the government should have any business in healthcare. You should have the choice whether to have certain things like healthcare, not be forced to have it. Also, gun restrictions are outrageous. Even if the government restricts them people will find other ways to kill. Goes back to the old saying, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Eventually, if guns are taken away there will be retaliation all over the United States. Even when the retaliation dies down, people will still kill but more violently using knives, baseball bats, etc. It seems out country is going in the wrong direction quickly. It seems our right to choose and our ammendments are being taken away.

Simpler plans for the countries future. I think Bush was a simpler guy with more simple ideals, which I think are appropriate for this country. This country is still insanely rich and very resilient. I personally am just more attracted to conservative style economics, because its a fact that Americans actually spend more than any time before, yet why we still seem like we are struggling doesn't really make sense to me. Virtually no one in the US is really dying of hunger or poverty. I know as a fact it was more dangerous to live in my parents time yet they didn't complain as much as we do. I think our problems has more to do with a shift in culture than any thing else: middle class house holds now more commonly have two working adults, both may be college educated and have less kids than the working class who cannot even come close to competing with only one working adult and more children. The rise in urbanism is not the future, it is a problem. It is hopefully a temporary fix as people move from the suburbs back into cities to look for jobs. Cities spend all of their money repairing 50-100 year old infrastructure, paying super high wages to entrenched union workers, who don't even really get all of that money because it goes to union dues and high taxes, only to live in a city where the rent is probably going to be super high because everyone wants in the city lifestyle or opportunities. Obviously our jobs now are becoming more specific, blue collar jobs are dying, yet I dont think that in a country with such wealth, an increase in joblessness is a nation breaker. People dont need to shop at oligopolistic mega stores yet they still do because no one knows how to cook anymore so companies like Perdue becomes more and more powerful (more too big to fail) and obesiety goes up, not everyone needs a credit card or college education, yet loan debt is insane in this country. No one knows what is good quality wood, or quality craftsmanship, people shop at k-mart and Ikea and just funnel their money to the one percent, I dont think the govt can really stop that with out intrusive measures or wealth distribution which i just don't think is fair. Even on minimum wage it is possible to live a good life in this country, the only problem is that Americans now grow up in almost complete solitude, anti-social unless selling oneself on social media, with no culture, they expect to live a happy urban life on low wages and lack an appreciation for humbleness, and this kind of life that alot of people try to live today was never possible. It was never possible to raise a family off of minimum wage, why are we assuming it ever will be. Sadly there is such a thing as stupid selfish people, I can't think of any thing more selfish then to bring children into a neglected world where the parents can't even take care of themselves. Instead of buying a few good outfits that you could be proud of, I see my friends burn pay check to paycheck on clothing that they are never satisfied with, they don't even realize how wealthy they are compared to your average world person. So I just think no matter who we get, there wouldn't be any huge sweeping changes in our economic environment, but lower taxes are always nice.

He spends more time with Matt Lauder at NBC than with our cabinet. Jimmy Carter must be happy to have someone follow him that is worse for the image of the President in the eyes of America for knowing what the **** he is doing.
