How do you feel about President Obama?
He's an honorable man and has been an amazing president. Over the past 7 years under Barack Obama's courageous liberal leadership, America has seen record amounts of economic recovery. Millions of poverty stricken Americans have been lifted up out of the depths of hell because of Obamacare, which has given the less fortunate access to affordable healthcare. He's helped create the Black Lives Matter movement which has given a voice to frustrated African Americans that are being oppressed purposefully by republican governors and senators across America. President Obama has improved race relations in the United States, and the world respects America more now than it ever has.
Do you feel safe with Obama being president?
no. how would i feel safe when he is releasing all of the terrorists from Guantanamo Bay? didn't he hang out with a terrorist named Bill Ayers? our alleged President's approval rating is dropping as more people realize his betrayal of "hope" and "change". according to today's Rasmussen Poll, there are now more people who strongly disapprove of him than those who strongly approve. Barack Obama is destroying America and our future with his socialist policies. under his budget, everyone under the age of 30 will spend the rest of their lives paying for trillions of national debt. his $787 billion stimulus package has failed to reduce the unemployment rate. inflation, taxes, and gas prices will skyrocket soon. Barack Obama = change we can "grieve" in ...another day, another broken promise!
How does Barack Obama feel about Mollie Tibbetts' death?
He will not say anything about this death at all. The person that was killed was not black and was not killed by a white cop. Since this is the case, Obama will not make a single remark about this killing. The other reason Obama will not comment about this killing is because the killing was apparently done by an illegal alien. Obama and his party is in favor of open borders and think illegal aliens have the right to be in this country. So you will not know his feelings about this murder, it does not fit his political ideology. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. "FIGHT ON"
Did conservatives under Obama feel like they had no voice in government, just like liberals feel today under Trump?
This is like asking the abused kid if he feels his parents don't like him just like the spoiled, rich brat up the street that was sent to private school.With the media, schools and unions under liberal control there is no possible way the left can ever not have a voice. Conversely the right has 1 TV network, a handful of AM radio stations and CB radios, so throughout 8 years of Obama’s reign we actually had no voice. Furthermore Obama did such a poor job that he cost the democrats his first mid terms which they never recovered and went on to simply executive order everything from then on so that the only voice we did have at the time (the checks and balances system) was essentially nullified and so much damage done that the nation’s GDP hit its lowest point since Truman was President (a little fact that defines his Presidency for those of us who actually like facts). Now that we have control of Congress and the White House (and the GDP is already up to 3%… nearly double that of Obama), the lefts voice is being heard incessantly. In fact it's all people are hearing unless they search for the truth.
What do people who don't live in the U.S. think of President Obama? Many people here heavily criticize him and say he has made America the "laughing stock of the world”. Is this true?
Another British opinion.Quite frankly, I haven't respected a single US president since JFK. Except for Obama (maybe Bill Clinton, but only his politics, not his personality). Obama is, in my opinion, one of the greatest US presidents to have served. We'll see in fifty years, but my prediction is he will go down in history next to JFK, FDR, and Lincoln.Why? Well he has more charisma than you can shake a stick at; Obamacare is the first sign that America might adopt a free at delivery healthcare system (criticise the NHS as much as you like, it has saved many lives, many careers, and many families); his stances against school shootings, police corruption, gun control, and right to self defence are, quite frankly, revolutionary; his work on climate change was much needed and shall be continued; he is an inspiration to not just black people, but to everyone who has ever been told they can't do something because of whatever stupid reason; his ability to stand up and speak out about controversial topics like Syria and ISIS is remarkable. I could go on, but quite frankly I can't say enough good about the man.I believe he has done America proud and, even though he may not be liked in America now, I believe he has done more good for the American people, and people in general, than any other president of the last 50 years. If he wants to get involved in British politics after his second term is up, well he has my vote. And my mum's, which is amazing because she hates politicians.
Does anyone here feel the SWAG from a Leo man tonight?

I took it on instagram today... https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-p...
Why do so many "fear" President Obama?
I am slightly confused about the question due to the fact that it is a little vague. If you could provide an example of these fears it would be helpful; I’m assuming you mean general GOP antipathy and hostility towards pres Obama.I suspect a lot of this comes down to feeling threatened. Since the Reagan era, maybe even prior to Reagan, the Republicans felt they had the moral high ground. The religious right was not always entrenched in politics. Prior to the 1970’s the religious right perceived all politics and politicians as corrupt and immoral, their explicit association with the GOP has only existed for the last 45 years or so. But with their vocal participation in politics the GOP seemed proud to stake their claim as the party of wholesome, strong, patriotic, Christian and “family” values. But in 2008, here comes a relative newcomer to the US political stage and gets elected as POTUS.Obama is intelligent, well spoken, well liked (on the whole). He is thoughtful and diplomatic. But he is also a black guy with a funny, foreign, middle eastern sounding name. I don’t think most republicans feel threatened by Obama but rather by what Obama represents: a smart, capable president who has encouraged diversity, helped normalize things like gay marriage, wants healthcare for all Americans, prioritizes climate change. But above all, Obama is drama free, scandal free, and gaffe free. No one can fairly accuse Obama of being stupid or evil (in contrast to, respectively, George W and Dick Cheney). Obama took the high ground: he bent over backwards to try to compromise with Mitch McC and republicans in Congress but the more reasonable he was, the more childish, blaming and obstructive they became. Now they look bad and they know it. In terms of temperment and personality, Obama is one of the classiest, most respectable, diplomatic presidents we have had in some time. Republicans resent the fact that they have ceded the moral high ground to the democrats by acting like obstinate, unreasonable children who put party before country in contrast to Obama’s measured attempts to broker compromise and they feel threatened by the fact that (gerrymandering notwithstanding) increasingly diverse demographics will eventually drive them to extinction. Obama represents everything they hate about the social changes that have occurred in the past few decades and increasing diversity among the US population.
Politics: Do you feel safer now under President Obama or previously under President Bush?
Much safer. Personally... I didn't feel safe on September 11, 2001, when a bunch of terrorist activities took place about 100 miles north and 100 miles south of where I live. That happened, at least in part, because of the hubris of the Bush Administration in ignoring basically everything the Clinton Administration had told them about US security threats. Ok, in retrospect, no reason for someone in rural South Jersey to be worried, though I don't live far from a nuclear reactor that would have been a possible target in a much larger attack. And while it was happening, no one had a clue about the extent of the attacks, or even really what was going on. Fear and the unknown are two sides of the same coin. In the bigger picture, I feel more secure now because President Obama isn't a hot-head and has the intellectual ability to both make cool-headed decisions and evaluate input from multiple experts. Under President Bush, while the President himself did listen to people, his inner circle was small, limited, and composed of people with their own agenda, who decided on thing before they knew the facts. Even more personally concerning was the economic collapse of 2007-2009. President Bush and his people were basically running around in full panic mode, not really understanding (again) what had happened or what to do about it. President Obama got into office and, against much opposition and painful compromise, did enough to stave off a devastating Depression. More US citizens would have died in the Depression than died in New York, Washington, Iraq, and Afghanistan combined, if history is even a slight indicator.
