None of the above...
The single biggest reason I will not vote for Obama is his attacks on civil liberties in this country. He had great rhetoric coming into 2008, but what happened? He signed an extension of the Patriot Act, was slick about adding provisions in the yearly NDAA legislation which said the military could arrest America citizens and they could be held indefinitely without the rights of trial or habaes corpus, allows drones to fly over American cities (youtube has one that was found over Chicago).
His blatant disregard for our Constitutional rights should have everyone outraged, but a lot are apathetic or content because they fell it gives them security when that is an illusion.
None of the above.
He is too radical Islamic oriented ... always apologizing for the West way of life.
I'm upset that he hasn't done more for civil rights. There's still way too much sexism, religious bigotry, oppression of gays, and racism. Just as a matter of policy, bigotry is still the status quo far too often. I'm also disappointed that he didn't follow through on his plan to boost education. He had a much better plan for that than Hillary did, which is one of the main reasons I supported him and not her.
It would be pretty cool to have an actual left wing politican to vote for in 2016.
Absolutely...not going to deny that at all...I was only commenting on this particular president.
Welcome to the Mya debate of school. I suggest you don't press it any further. It will end in tears.
I hear quite often how the Left is disappointed in Obama. My quess is most of you dont think in is far enough to the left.
Worse yet, there is no White House cat. Cats are magical and would prevent bad things from happening. Clinton's success came from Socks.
Of course, in the end, Clinton betrayed Socks and Hillary. Tsk Tsk. Obama hasn't even tried. Bush didn't have a cat either and look what a crappy President he was.
How can these people lead us when they can't even accept a basic fact?
I'm a dog person he's got my vote =P. It's low to criticize Bo.

Where did I criticize Bo? Bo is welcome to drool and bark all over the White House.
Cats have magical properties. Used to be no ship would leave harbor without a ship's cat aboard.
I'm not asking for vote changes. Hell, Romney has a dog also (rather famous dog actually). I'm just trying to get them to do what's right for America.

Obama's daughters have allergies. That's why they had to find a hypo-allergenic dog.

interesting take
if only Obama had stray ***** around the white house like clinton, he would have been a better president
Obama has disappointed me in so many ways
- did not come out in obvious support of the recommendations of the Bowles-simpson report
- patriot act re-established without his veto
- too big to fail banks are even bigger
- geithner who was a big part of the melt down is still a big part of the problem
(geitner's) treasury is prohibiting sound community banks from making prudent loans to small business
- NAFTA still exists, giving the world's foremost market to foreign concerns to the detriment of domestic business
- single payer was avoided so that we now are MANDATED to purchase health coverage from the insurance industry
- dubya, cheney, rummy, and company are still walking free as a bird despite massive evidence to show their violations of American and international law
- assented to canadian oil sands-pipeline
- GE pays no taxes. like over 50% of other corporate America
- continued taxpayer loopholes for the rich
more war ... so much for change we can believe in
- no glass-stegall, instead a watered down dodd-frank where the regulations have not been written three years later
- attorney general is either a liar or an incompetent and is still on the job
- bunker busters sold to israel
- panetta head of DoD after screwing up his term at CIA
- dubya tax cuts extended
- nothing has been done to address the reality of climate change
- walked away from supporting the unions in wisconsin, ohio, michigan
- failed to support occupy wall st
- NO prosecution of bank executives
- mortgage HAMP refi program mismanaged
- $Trillions spent to cover fannie mae, freddie mac, ginnie mae losses ... despite there being NO federal obligation to do so after they were privatized
- loans money to banks at discount window rate of $7500 per $1million (.75%); redeems bonds from banks at $30,000 per $1million (3%), thereby forking over taxpayer dollars to the banks at the rate of $22,500 per $1million borrowed
- clarence thomas' failure to declare income for multiple years and NO investigation
- gitmo still open with no end in sight
- appointed a bunch of politicians who could run a campaign but who were unable to run a government
- refusal to cut off israeli money when israel refused to cease construction in the disputed territories
and he is still better than mitt
but much worse than Jill Stein or Gary Johnson
Is that anything like the obvious Child grammar of school?
