You mean Mike?

Too bad we don't have access to the election threads from 2007.    My major sticking point with Obama, before he proved to be ineffective, was that he lacked experience.   That his "reach across the aisle" were the words of a man who didn't know. 

Senate Dems finally did it:

I'm disappointed this has died.

LOL

53% of americans believe the US plays a less important and powerful role in the world than they did 10 years ago (17% said more important and more powerful).... Under Bush in 2004 45% said more important and powerful vs 20% saying less... and BUsh was a joke, right?

I particularly lol at the section titled Perceptions of U.S. Global Power....

where 70% of the US population believes the US is less respected in the world today than they were 10 years ago... and thats including 56% of democrats.

at this point i think sarah palin could have done a better job than obama and i can't stand her... probably even that stripper running for office in california could do a better job.... hell even a dead gary coleman could do a better job. obama is so ridiculously inept its hilarious..

Obama is very similar to Jimmy Carter wrt ability to lead the US.

With just under 2 years of more proof, safe to say he's the worst ever?

Carter
Bush jr.
Bush
Obama
Hoover

From a historical perspective, President Obama will have the ACA, drawing down/end of Iraq/Afghanistan wars, and homosexual equality on his side.

From a negative, you'll have complete gridlock of congress (whether his fault or not, it's not a good thing), failure to "change Washington", failure to get immigration reform, probably the NSA situation, and maybe drone strikes.


I'm sure you'll come up with more negatives, but they'll be hyper partisan nothing-burgers.

Here's a 538 listing of presidential rankings from January 2013. President Obama is on this, but historically I think he'll end up around the Grover Cleveland, George H.W. Bush range. Right in the middle somewhere.

4. Theodore Roosevelt
5. Thomas Jefferson
6. Harry Truman
7. Woodrow Wilson
8. Dwight D. Eisenhower

10. Ronald Reagan
11. James K. Polk
12. Lyndon B. Johnson

19. William McKinley
20. John Quincy Adams
21. Grover Cleveland

Kind of funny that you list ACA as a positive.   It's far too soon to tell but it doesn't seem positive right now.

Benghazi was an administrative failure but it's difficult to throw something like that at his feet.   Could have happened to any Prez.   Pretty much all foreign affairs have been a nightmare or at least a bad dream.   And, despite the claim that rising national debt isn't necessarily a bad thing, it doesn't seem like a good thing either.
