Why I like this President

President Obama has accomplished many notable things during his term in office so far. We are all familiar with the ACA, the economic recovery from the great recession, winding down two unaccounted for wars, supporting the move for marriage equality, and many others.
He is cool as a cucumber under fire, though I suspect he would love to unleash some verbal assaults on his political foes. Those foes denigrate, belittle, disrespect and despise him. I'm sure his memoir of his time in office will be very interesting to read.
Like all great Presidents, you can tell he has been effective by the amount of spittle his political foes lose in voicing their disgust. All the best presidents have had vociferous, if impotent, opposition and judging by the tone and vehemence of that opposition this is one of our great presidents.
I would have like to make more progress on some of the big issues of our time, but I will say that all things considered, President Obama has moved the ball quite well.

He did well by snubbing the Jewish tribe which appeased the radical Sunni (IS) but a big F for the deal with Shi'a Iran.
This leaves us open to IS carnage.

I've been wanting to mention I like your new Avatar very much :thumbup: A message many on OPP cannot relate with. :roll:
On the president, I wish I had an opportunity to sit with some of these anti Obama people when he is making a speech and at the end of it ask...now what did you get out of that? It amazes me how what he says gets twisted to serve their line of thinking.
I also can't believe the vicious and ludicrous attacks on Michelle, ie. She didn't give birth to her daughters, jeeeez how does any sane person read that BS and believe it???

I will send my Son-in-Law for you to ask.
He posted that Allen West speech as TRUTH yesterday.
We have had to agree not to discuss current events or politics because otherwise we would have those "holiday dinners".
The last time SS came up, he tried to tell me that there are no funds NOW.
Geez.

Even if you were sitting side-by-side, watching the speech, they still have to flip over to Faux News to get what they're supposed to say about the speech. Otherwise, all you'd get is a dumb, blank stare.
