So many people are quick to criticize or defend Obama when it comes to his presidency. It seems like he is a very likable president (to which I agree), but many say he was one of our worst presidents in office. I was 10 years old when he was first elected and only 14 when he was re-elected. That being said, I was too young and naive to understand anything politically related, and I still don't think I fully understand everything. Everyone seemed like they were caught up on the hype because he was our first black president. So I ask, What made Obama the president he was? What was so good, or bad about him.

He had a lot on his plate I mean he took over what Bush had made and that was chaos.. He created a ton of jobs made the american GDP go up got troops out of Afgan killed osama created a flawful yet working health care system for the people and the list goes on.

I was young when he was elected to but honestly Obama was a great president and he may have made mistajes but his true visions were never put onto the plate because Congress.

Thats just my opinion to anyone who feels (haha feels) he's a bad president I also see your points but most hatred on Obama boils down to racism.

He was able to almost double our nation debt and was able to be at war every day for 8 years but still have a good attitude, making most people like him.

He was the first black president and people hated him or loved him for it.

He was able to bomb thousands upon thousands of innocent people, including kids, schools, and hospitals but remained a nice,funny figure to the public.

He was chill I guess

Well he made the Affordable Care Act which is garbage.

He claims to have pulled troops out of the middle east, but they're still there, still fighting. So all he's really done is made our people forget about them.

He's fueled the recent "race war". He's defended and victimized criminals that were killed, while demonizing the police that lawfully and unfortunately had to take another persons life.

He's even currently immaturely blaming Russia in order to cover up the horrible campaign his party ran for this election.

He's the worst.

He saved us from the brink of depression. He saved the entire car industry. He started the repair of relations with Cuba. He got a peace deal with Iran.

The problems with President Obama is that he was too right wing, not that he was too liberal or any stupid Fox News talking point like that.

He cut the deficit by more than half. The national debt is all the deficits from the last 240 years combined. The debt isn't what you think it is.

A bunch of little things here and there. Nothing really major.

Our economy isn't as shit as it was in 2008 when were were nearing great depression status. I guess that's good.

Calling his health-care reform "Obamacare" was a huge mistake because people only hated it because of the name, Ronald Reagan did the same thing and he is considered the greatest president
(not saying that isn't true) people hated it because of the name, even though it made a ton of stuff cheaper medically. Now Trump is going to basically remove it and a shit ton of people are going to lose benefits, and are going to blame Obama for it.

I can see the good that he was trying to do, I just think the people around him wanted him to fail.

Plus his presidency gave us joe biden memes and those are what make my day.

Obama is one of the greatest presidents to this day, he was noble and mostly did everything in his power to make this country great, I honestly wish he didn't have to leave office..

Yes this is honestly so true, and most people are blind to this fact.
