Why don't you like Obama?

[JBird]

So, I've been seeing from the last thread I posted about why people don't vote, that a lot of people didn't/don't vote because they didn't like any of the presidential candidates. It seems like you would really have to hate everything about each of the candidates to make the huge decision to not participate in voting for your next President.

My question is: What are the reasons why you don't like or agree with Obama? Why didn't you vote for him?

I voted for Obama, but I always am interested in the other side of things, the reasons why people don't like him. I haven't really be able to find a lot of bad stuff that he has done. And of course it is hard to learn the other side of the story when you live around a bunch of super-liberals. I know that some people don't like him because of Obamacare, but why is that? I also know that most small business and military people don't like Obama or the liberal side.

I am mainly interested in learning the other side of the story, the reasons why people don't like Obama. So I would very much appreciate your opinions!

Thanks!

lets start with obama care
he refused to negotiate the design of the plan with the GOP
he used parliamentary tricks to pass it, after scott brown was elected in MA specifically to stop it, by democrats
it was crammed down our throats on the promise it would cut the cost of healthcare, would generate jobs, and cover all americans
none of which is true
he's a one sided political hack, as are many republicans

he's also just put the foot on the accelerator to bankrupt our country
he doesn't care about the debt, he cares about wealth redistribution
he makes things "fair" by tearing down the successful, which will not improve the lives of the poor

so congrats
be careful what you wish for, because sometimes you get it

Really, is that your reason?! I was obviously raised by Democrats, but I am still open to hearing all political views and am still in the process of creating my own views. Just because my parents are Democrat, doesn't mean it's right. I actually am disappointed in how there are pretty much only two sides to choose from, Democrat and Republican. And those two sides always win the election because they get the most amount of funding. It would be interesting to see what would happen if all parties got the same amount of funding.

Pretty sure the increases of debt under Bush's first term after Clinton were significantly higher than Obama's after Bush. Bush's second term also saw higher increases than Obama's first. Did you vote Bush in the second time? Seems to me like debt is a huge factor for you, so just checking to make sure you're not a hypocrite.

If everyone who said they weren't voting because they didn't like either candidate voted for Gary Johnson he may actually become a bigger player. This shit with "my vote won't count" is bullshit. Register and fucking get out there and get an opinion.

Until then, well....you get what you get.

please go back and check the history books and tell us all what the largest deficit was for any year under boooooooosh

besides, its not what happened under bush. it is where we are now, today, the path we're on, and what we are doing about it.

Saw thread to post this^ so I will just quote ;)

He has no experience EVEN with 4 year term already under his belt. ONLY thing he has managed to do is take credit for other's work and bury us in a fast paced debt race. Bail out companies again and again.

Pro abortion, legalize weed and gay marriage is what set his shitty dumb ass back in another term.

I am personally for anyone who wants to make a difference for the betterment of our Countries; jobs, debt and management. He has proven in the first term that none of those things matter to him.

I voted for Mitt, he had quite a few flaws. I voted for him because he has experience, as Gov he managed a state into profit.

That is my very thoughts, some members don't keep up with facts and just regurgitate stupid shit they hear.

Fact is the Obama has been doing NOTHING to make more jobs or bring down the national debt. It is only going to get worse.


Now it comes off that I REALLY dislike Obama. That is not true, I don't dislike him. He has just done nothing but lie and say things then never do them. He has given me no reason to.

I was hoping for a change, not a slogan that says change then never puts gears into motion for a REAL betterment change for OUR country. Obamacare is going to FUCK us, and anything else his sly thoughts will act on.

This might come off as a joke to some but watch The Campaign staring Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell. I know it is a comedy, but the message is clear and we really need someone that is honest and cares for the people. Not lining their pockets and screwing the little people.

^ Just as it did with Bush.

My point is if you're going to make debt such an issue, have it as one of te biggest reasons you hate a guy should that not include all presidents who saw increases in debt? The increases under Bush were higher than the increase under Obama, yet I'll bet you both voted that guy in. So is the debt Bush accumulated acceptable and Obama's is not? You seem to be fixated on the final number and since it's higher, Obama's bad. By that argument Bush should be the fucking Antichrist given how much it rose compared to Clinton, but at least for gwb I know for a fact preferred the guy.

Hypocrisy is a tricky concept for some.

I would say the main reason I dislike Obama is because he is generally a socialist. He believes that redistribution is a good idea and government has a duty to provide for people when in reality people need to provide for themselves.

[F34R]

I am not saying Bush had nothing to do with it, nor am I blaming everything on Obama. But if more jobs are made, that means more people working and taxes being collected. Something has to be done or it is not going to be pretty.

I might just come live under the Queen at the rate this is going.

Bitching and moaning will not help this, nor making a million threads. We are sheep that just pay the man. None of us on here can do anything but vote and pray for the best.

We live in a time of rules and tyrants, if you don't think so you're just washed. I personally believe I was born in the wrong era! Oh the long lost times of Vikings =) How simple things were back then lol *jokes*

As for *jobs*, I own a construction company with my father. I have DONE something for myself when nothing was made for me in my area. I pity the kids going through college hoping for something to make back the money spent going through it all.

Great friends of mine mock that I went with working for my father vs going in debt for college. They are out now and making less than I did in 2004 lol. I wonder how it feels to spend 80k+ on college and come out with a 27k a year job.

Sure I don't have a fancy piece of paper. I just have a master in 5 different job professions.

So I'm not a complete douche, here's one of my biggest peeves with Obama...the Osama situation. You do NOT need to expose so much information about your troops so as to put them at risk in the way that Obama did. There was no reason to dramatize his death other than political favour, period. As soon as you expose who is responsible you put a target on their backs. The motherfucking president put soldiers lives at risk for his own gain, shitty leadership to the upteenth degree.

Yeah but that book written by the SEAL himself was somehow okay though?
