A man who came into office with a lot of good ideas, but ran face first into a veritable wall of shit trying to implement them in a system that is rife with shit.
Obama's healthcare reform was watered down, and the individual mandate added to appease Republiturds, but still not a single turd voted for the bill. Obama has extended many such olive branches to his political adversaries in a genuine but (imo) misguided effort at bipartisanship only to be bitten by the party of tear down Obama at all costs, even if it means tearing down the rest of the country with him.
Barack Obama actually has delivered on some of his promises, and while it may seem easy to bash him for not doing enough, presidents do not possess dictatorial powers and are largely beholden to the pit of dysfunction and corruption known as congress. There is a reason congress' job approval rating is at 9%. If you want change, start with your representative or senator.

Despite the foul odor cast upon his presidency by the right-wing bullshit machine, Barack Obama actually has a good shot at winning re-election in 2012. As polarizing a figure as he is, he will look like Gandhi compared to whatever sideshow clown the Republicans offer up.
Also, for those who have not yet figured it out - the top definition of Barack Obama, written by KEEPin It REAL, can be disregarded. This author, who also goes by the pseudonym ABSOLUTEs, uses voting bots to vote thousands of times on his own and other equally absurd definitions, and this same deranged, xenophobic, ultra-Christian ignoranteer has single-handedly vandalized many other pages on UD such as evolution, liberal, obama, and birther to name a few. Yet another instance of right-wingers having to cheat to get ahead.

Donald J. Trump is the current president of the United States, and regardless of excuses, the fact remains that there is video and recording evidence that clearly displays his racist, sexist, and very unproffessional tendencies. I wish Barack Obama was back in office.

Person 1: Hey, who was Barack Obama?
Person 2: He was Michelle Obama's husband.
Person 1: Ah okay, that guy.

The only president with the sole accomplishment of being a token, literally all his accomplishments are either something someone else did (like claiming the 2016 to 2019 economical raise was because of his presidency) or straight up disastrous (like operation fast and furious and obamacare that cost more than giving every single citizen insurance), but he's black and that's all that matters, he definitely isn't this God like figure that came from black heaven to save as all like most msm would like you to believe nor is he this devil that came to eat as all he's just a not that good politician. But so some idiots don't get mad Lincoln (I was going to say Washington, but I know some dumbass would still be mad even though he had almost 100% the votes and was a very good president) was way better and LBJ (who was known to be extremely corrupt and racist and might have killed JFK) is way worse.
Barack Obama the only president that hadn't met a black person till he went to college (true story he actually lived in a white area with his white mother and step-dad until he went to college)
