Barack is one of the worst presidents

lets start

I would like to start off by clearly stating that there is absolutely no RIGHT or WRONG answer. There are facts, either good or bad, depending on how one individual chooses to interpret them.

I personally disagree with the statement at hand. I believe that Barack Obama is doing a fine job as President, especially with the present state of our economy and the world's politics. And before I delve into the multitude of things he's done to help our country and push our economy forward and help us get back on our feet, no one can say he hasn't made a few mistakes along the way. Just like no one could say he hasn't done anything useful for this country. Think about: Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, correct? That was an amazing invention that changed the world forever. This took him 1,000 tries before he became successful. He failed 1,000 times. Obama definitely hasn't failed that many times, and he's already done wonders to help the people of this country, and the world.

Now to some simple points of the good he's done for America:
1. Passed Health Care Reform.
2. Passed the Stimulus which has produced nearly 7 MILLION Private-Sector Jobs.
3: Passed the Wall Street Reform after its practices caused the 'Great Recession.'
4: Ended the War in Iraq, last troops pulled out December 18th, 2011.
5: Killed Osama. (In before "HE only gave the Command, he didn't PERSONALLY do ANYTHING!1")
6: Prevented the Collapse of our Auto Industry. ($16B from Bush and $62B from Obama) Created 200,000+ jobs, and the 3 biggest of the Automakers have ALL gained Market Share for the first time in 2 decades.
7: Repealed 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'.
8: Reversed Bush TORTURE Policies.
9: Separated Banks from the Student Federal Loan and expanded Student Pell Grant funding.
10: Helped Veterans by offering Tax Credits to any Business who hires any Veteran, thus increasing chances of Vets getting Jobs.
11. Tightened Sanctions on Iran. In an effort to deter Iran"s nuclear program, signed Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (2010) to punish firms and individuals who aid Iran"s petroleum sector.
12: Eliminated Catch-22 in Pay Equality Laws. Passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which gives Women the right to sue their Employers if they find out their being paid less because of Discrimination.
13: Improved Food Safety System. In 2011, signed FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, which boosts the Food and Drug Administration"s budget by $1.4 billion and expands its regulatory responsibilities to include increasing number of food inspections, issuing direct food recalls, and reviewing the current food safety practices of countries importing products into America.
14: Expanded Health Coverage for Children. Using ONLY the Tax Increase on Tobacco Products, the Children's Health Insurance Authorization Act will provide Insurance for 4 Million more Children.
15: Expanded Stem Cell Research. In 2009, eliminated the Bush-era restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, which shows promise in treating spinal injuries, among many other areas.

And then there's the issue of taxes: So many of the people today blame the president if higher taxes are considered. What you may not know, is that a good percentage of those taxes are to help schools, and are used to improve our communities! Something we TRULY need. How do we expect to prosper if we do not even take a chance to contemplate the fact that if we want to succeed as a nation, we need to support the source? The source is the younger generation! The schools! We need to improve their education, to have an even more successful future ahead of us! But if you do not pay a few more cents of tax, we will not reach our goal to become a successful country. The drop-out rates are outstanding, the funny "coincidental" conclusion is that most of those who argue against raising taxes to support schools are those who dropped out due to a lack of good education. While this is not always true, this was just an entertaining tidbit. Plus, he has produced any and all documents, facts and information when asked to do so, so much as the law permits.

If Obama is such a good president why do we have a debt of 16.9 trillion dollars and increasing, Also Health care plans to hire more I.R.S workers and it will force people to have health insurance, and back to the debt thing when the debt gets to high that means there will be more debt in america and it could led to another Great depression. Another thing to mention is gas prices are getting higher. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk... and http://www.mrconservative.com...

I would like to point out that your argument that debt is Obama's fault is completely invalid for one reason. We have had debt ever since the conception of this country. According to The Bureau of Public Debt, we have been in debt since The American Revolution which costed $75,463,476.52. That started our debt deficit. Then in the 1830s, under Andrew Jackson our debt was gone, and the Pro-Jacksonites soon became the democratic party. Then our debt amounted to millions soon after. So every president will have to deal with debt. And as the years passed into the 1900s, our debt grew to 22 Billion dollars. And the debt being high can't lead to debt in America. America's debt is high because of MANY factors. And about the debt leading to another Great Depression, which sources did you use? Because there are many news networks that have more bias, than fact. During the Great Depression the people spent more money than they had, when the credit card became popular. And the gas prices are completely unrelated to Obama, so may I ask how that is relevant? And gas prices have consistently risen since the beginning of gas. Everything has gotten more expensive, to be more accurate. You used to be able to buy a new car for $5,000. Many prices have escalated because the value of money has changed.

If obama was such a good president what is he doing to decrease the debt, the debt is increasing day by day.

As I've stated before, debt will continue increase day by day no matter who is in office, I have explained this in more detail in my other argument. But I do believe that he is trying. If he wasn't trying then he wouldn't have been re-elected. I will restate something I've said before: We have been in debt since the beginning of our country. Debt is debt is debt. That is something that the US will struggle with for years upon years. It's not like President Obama came into office and we suddenly have billions of dollars in debt. This has been an accumulation over the years. No matter who was President, we would have debt. And the purpose of me taking part of this debate was to not only voice my political opinions, but to see and understand those who view things different than I. So while I respect your opinion, I do not believe that President is necessarily is a bad President.
