Obama did in fact say that the 2007 national championship for most beef consumed is

2013-05-16T11:00:32-08:00

(Post Voting Period) ... one of the best tournaments ever. Obama said that he will join this tournament again in the future. However, I have been debated on this subject before. Not a lot of people agree with me that Obama does in fact say that this is the best tournament ever.

Obama's birth certificate is fake

2012-03-07T20:27:54-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Obama's birth certificate is obviously fake because it took more than a month for him to produce the certificate. If is real and he miss placed it, makes me question his abilities to run this country correctly.

Anyone but Obama in 2012

2011-10-20T12:42:14-08:00

(Post Voting Period) In I would never ever vote for Obama. I rather vote for romney or even rick perry than obama in 2012. I use this page as proof. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111019093705AAAKMvR The people that says anyone but obama gets most thumbs up and more thumbs up means your right. that means Hitler or even bieber> obama.

(Post Voting Period)

Simple debate, Obama has been called the "Celeberty Presedent" Lets decide here and now.

If you don't vote for Obama, you are racist.

2012-02-07T21:36:19-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Round one is for acceptance only. Rules: Forfeit, you lose. No trolling, spamming, etc. I will argue against the statement that, "If you don't vote for Obama, you are racist." My opponent will argue for it.

Obama is going to make a bad president

2008-12-11T16:48:08-08:00

(Voting Period) Im not tring to be racist or anything but i think Obama will make a bad president because everyone thinks he will get assasinated

Should Barack Hussein Obama become the next president?

2008-09-15T20:37:53-08:00

(Voting Period) I do not understand why anyone would want Obama to be president. He has no experience and is a lying cheating stealing politician from Chicago.

Barack Obama is not eligible to be President.

2012-06-02T15:55:06-08:00

(Post Voting Period) While living in Indonesia as a child, Obama's stepfather turned in a school application form for him, listing his name as "Barry Soetoro." This is a legal document which proves that Mr. Soetoro adopted Barack as a young man, this giving him Indonesian citizenship. Indonesia at the time did not allow people to have dual citizenship; thus, in taking Indonesian citizenship, Obama renounced his American citizenship, and there is no record that he ever re-acquired it (and if he did, it would not be under "natural born" status). Thus, Barack Obama does not qualify to be President under the Constitution.

Barack Obama was elected President of the United States in the election of 2008

2009-01-30T21:01:44-08:00

(Voting Period) I contend that Barack Obama was Elected President of the United States in the election of 2008 which elected Barack Obama as the 44th president. He took office on the January 20th and after being elected back in November. I contend that that actually happened. It wasn't imagined, it wasn't faked in Hollywood, it was actual and real and really did occur as an objective fact.

Obama is hope for the US

2008-09-03T18:53:05-08:00

(Voting Period) Republicans are bible thumping, money hungry, war mongrels!!!

George. W. Bush was a better president than Barack Obama is

2010-06-12T03:42:34-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I resolve that the previous president of the United States was a better president than our current president. I will attempt to provide the most objective reasoning for my position and expect my opponent to do the same. We have agreed to avoid semantics and I would like to spend this first round simply agreeing that this is so. In the next round I will present my argument. Thank you for the debate and best of luck.

President barrack hussain obama has done bad for america

2010-02-24T14:06:51-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I believe Barrack hussaine Obama has ruined our country. He gave us a dept, wants socialist medicare system that will make everyone poor, and he stopped guantanimo bay so we get no more information. He is also appointing czars in office, hes trying to make us communist. Who doesnt know that. We should appoint Glenn Beck In office also, but thats another arguement. Any refute?

Resolved: 2012 Obama would beat 2008 Obama in a presidential race 1 on 1

2013-04-03T19:57:03-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I believe that the Barack Obama who was re-elected president in 2012 would beat the Barack Obama who was elected president in 2008 in a presidential race 1 on 1. Con will argue that the 2008 Obama would beat the 2012 Obama First round is acceptance only. 6000 characters and 4 rounds.

Obama has done a good job of leading America

2013-03-27T16:03:29-08:00

(Post Voting Period) In 2008, America hit a recession of effects that have not been seen since the Great Depression. President Obama came into office telling us to have hope in our future. He has failed to give America a reason for hope after four years of his presidency. I would like to begin with economics. Unemployment is currently at 7.7%, however, in 2009, the White House projected the unemployment rate to be 6% with the stimulus package. Wrong, Mr. President. His wasteful spending on green-energy companies that don't hire American workers, such as Girasolar, is absurd. Wasting billions of taxpayer's money on scams like solyndra is idiotic. Foreign policy is also an area where Obama lacks. His handling of the massacre in Benghazi is deplorable. You can not trust local militias, instead of our own marines, to protect an embassy. As a result of his mistake, four are dead, including an ambassador. Many other reasons such as, North Korea, will be shown to prove that we are worse

Fox NEWS' Varney: Obama offering free preschool so toddlers will vote for him

2013-03-01T06:35:50-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

In another nauseating lie from Fox NEWS, pundit Stuart Varney made the following statement:

"Look what the president is doing here, it’s a repeat performance of his campaign, which is you raise taxes on the rich and you offer all kinds of free stuff to people who will vote for you in the future. Free preschool education for 4-year-olds, it’s free, here it is. Hand out the goodies."

Varney seems to be claiming that President Obama's main motivation for asking for universal preschool is to bribe toddlers into voting for him in the future. He references his repeated claims that Obama won his second term by bribing other voting groups with "free stuff," and today seems to be extending this argument to toddlers as well.

However, Varney forgets that Obama's term will expire in four years, before these children can vote. There are other issues with Varney's argument, and I wo

Obama's "gun-control" will not lower crime

2013-02-03T15:04:25-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I strongly believe Obama is a horrible President. Although, Obama's 23 executive orders have good intention and just creates more monitoring ad regulation as pertaining to firearms, he is being an idiot. #1: This "gun-control" push is going to cost American taxpayers A LOT OF MONEY, A HUGE AMOUNT! And it will all be wasted. All it will do is put this country more in debt!! #2: If all of his 23 orders are passed then it will still will NOT lower violence. Look up how putting countless regulations on guns did for crime in Chicago. http://www.newsmax.com/JohnLott/Lott-guns-Chicago-crime/2010/05/06/id/358060

Obama and his policies

2013-02-02T14:41:10-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I think that Obama's policies have deeply hurt the United States and it is showing. We are about to go into a recession despite what everyone is saying. We are still not creating jobs fast enough. He is trying to take away our 2nd amendment rights, among others. And finally, he denys the fact that Al queda is still alive, which is evident that they are from the 9/11 attack in Benghazi, but still insisted that it wasnt them but a video made in the US so he could cover it up and save his own job.

Under Obama, a $4000 tax on the middle class

2012-11-09T16:52:40-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

A recent Television advertisement, by Gov. Mitt Romney, claims that "Under President Obama: $4,000 tax hike on middle class families."

I maintain that this is not a true statement of fact, and wish to debate the subject.

I will adopt the position of "Con," since I want to challenge the premise. I ask that Pro defend Governor Mitt Romney's assertion that President Obama has or will definitely raise taxes on the middle class by $4000.

I am willing to be fairly relaxed concerning any rules for this debate, and am willing to honor any agreements made in the comments section. My only real request of my partner is that we set aside the final round for summaries of our best arguments - as a convenience to readers who may wish to vote on our performances. I feel that such summaries allow readers to more easily digest our arguments quickly, and allows them to understand our emphasis.
