It's a shame that the first US African-American President is also by every objective standard one of the worst.

Stefan Molyneux gives an outstanding video presentation, link below, his source information links are below that.

On January 20, 2009, President Barack Obama took office on a platform of "hope" and "change" for the United States of America. As Obama has completed his final day as President of the United States, Stefan Molyneux reviews his accomplishments, failures and legacy in the annals of American history.

The only terrible truth here is that some people are pathologically obsessed with the man.

Awww... Let's be honest, you were going to consider that the case no matter how well he did.

I'll take him over the guy who started two pointless, never ending wars on false pretenses then left the economy in ashes as he moon-walked out to let the next guy clean up.
 
It is not that he was an important president because he was leader of the free world when the world order really started to dissolve thus his leadership was desperately needed but he had no interest at least and maybe no skill either.....but also that he was so misjudged. At least in part because of the color of his skin.

This does not bode well for us.
 


you day you will come to terms with the fact a colored man was president.
 

There is little doubt that we have suffered under the administrations of two of the worst presidents ever back to back.

50% of the country says so.

And now we have to top it off with the worst president in the US history. Man, the US just can't catch a break!

Fake news. Donald Trump is the best President.

You really need to get your (alternative) facts right.
 

Hogwash. I'll take him over the orange sphincter we have in the Whitehouse right now.

Not you. He can't do wrong according to you.

Meanwhile he's fired just about everyone he appointed.

Something wrong with that picture.

Under Bush, we had a failed presidency in which the American people suffered and the national debt doubled. The same description applies to Obama's term in office.

In some ways, yes and others, no.

Clinton was not a real great president until about his third year. After that, his administration produced great results. Results much better than even he predicted or dreamed of.

Let's see how this newest iteration in our succession of Presidents shakes out. Six months of unremitting, mostly unfounded, constantly amplified by the media, attacks are bound to take a toll in the minds of the willing and/or uninformed.

And at this time I see nothing that would make me think it will improve. And Trump ain't the only problem he's just the loudest at the moment. There are way too many of us who don't care about the big picture, can't think long term or won't see past our own biases.

I have selected two presidents and cited the standards by which I feel they failed.

You seem to disagree and present no reason to disagree.

Would you care to present support of your opinion?

That great scene from BLAZING SADDLES comes to mind where the new sheriff first rides into town and the reaction of the townspeople.

obama got health care passed after nixon clinton and eisenhower failed doing it. Bush has had huge success fighting aids in africa and funding prescriptions
 

How anyone, during Trump's administration, can call Obama the worst ever is beyond me.
Obama was not a good politician. He could have done better, dealing with the proudly blatant opposition from Congress, and he'll be remembered as bland and ineffective. But the worst? Not even close.
His main problem might have been his inexperience. He was a decent man but maybe unprepared for what he ended up being faced with. Now Trump, well, there's nothing in his background or character that's prepared him for city government politics, never mind POTUS. And it's obvious. I
