He has burned too many bridges to ever have my respect or confidence. If he wanted a little less disgust he should get us out of these numerous wars, stop being a corporate puppet, stop using drones to kill Americans or foreigners in countries we're not at war with, unsuspend habeus corpus, shut guantanomo, and stop trying to raise taxes and force more social programs down our throat.
I think that would be a start.
So I am specifically asking anti-obama, conservative, republicans people as well as disenfranchized liberals who dislike Obama and his administration.
If he could do 1 thing, pass 1 law (assuming he has the power to pass said law through Congress automatically), participate in 1 event or I don't know, do 1 thing and 1 thing, what would be it so that you could say: Hmm, maybe he's not that bad. Maybe things will be good.
And I am not looking for things like: fix the economy or deregulate everything or resign. So if you give answers like this you're not participating in the discussion, you're basically spamming. Give more aimed answers that help fertilize a discussion and a frank exchange in opinion.
I want decisive answers.
Examples:
-I would like him to repeal the patriot act
-I would like him to ban assault rifles
-I would like him to drop Obamacare
-I would like to see him play baseball and promote sports.
-I would like him to stop foreign aid
-Withdraw all the troops in foreign theaters immidiatly
-Do arms-wrestling with Putin and win (jk)
-Stop blaming Bush or apologize for blaming bush. Show that he has guts.
-close gitmo.
This thread's purpose is to allow anti-obama people to reach across the DP aisle and hopefully lead to a better discussion instead of just partisan lines. So yeah... one thing that if he does it, it will make you have faith in him.
Alternatively, if you are a pro-obama person and you wish to participate, you could name one of the things he did that pleases you greatly and why you think he's a great president.

Let's face facts ....Obama was disrespected by many the minute he won in 2008.
After butchering 100,000 Iraqis, sending 5,000 GI's to an untimely death, presiding over a mega collapse of our economy ......and caught asleep despite prior warning when this country suffered the greatest attack ever ....Bush amazingly doesn't disgust ....but still walks around with many fan fare from those disgusted with Obama!! :roll:
For me ...the one thing I wanted from Obama (and any president for the matter) is to reign in the banks and insurance companies from the scams they play on the America people daily!!

Start a public works program similar to what FDR did in the early 1930's and use the employees to rebuild the infra-structure. Our dams, levees, electrical grid, highways etc. have been allowed to go to hell for the last ten years. Thanks to George W. Bush and his war mongering and tax cuts for the wealthy this country is in the worst shape it's been during my lifetime. The upper 1% controls 90% of the wealth in America and they have a Republican congress which will stand in the way of or filibuster anything good for the nation and ensure that the rich will continue not to pay their fair share.
How many Iraqi's were "butchered" by Saddam?Let's face facts ....Obama was disrespected by many the minute he won in 2008.

If he called attention to the public pension crisis, I'd throw him a party.
I'm afraid you're setting the bar for long-term thinking a bit too high.

Are you saying I shouldn't order the cake? :rofl
I think it was proven pretty much definitively that the rich pay their fair share and the share of many more people. They pay the highest income tax and the highest percentage of the total revenue the govt gets from income taxes. So this doesn't work.
And this thread is about what can Obama do to make anti-obama people think better of him and what has he done that makes pro-obama people like him. it has nothing to do with Bush's policies.
