Is Obama the worst US president ever?

[polar]

time to seriously arrest this war criminal, he's finally passed Bush

Obama also “signed an executive order formalizing a process for the United States to continue indefinite detentions of suspects without trial.”

The power to detain to incarcerate after acquittal? After a jury finds them not guilty? They still go back to jail? What’s the sense of having a trial?

no, he's no bush yet.

no, he's no bush yet.

how so?

worse than Reagan or Nixon?? Or Clinton or Bush (either one really?) actually scrap that, they're all pretty much the same. as with Prime Ministers here.

he's the worst black president. by miles.

Bush is still worse than Obama because he created the Patriot Act, which isn't patriotic at all. The Patriot Act is a small form of totalitarian/communist/fascist government.

i realize that absolute power absolutely corrupts.  abe lincoln arrested newspaper editors that criticized him, suspended habeas corpus etc, FDR arrested ppl who spoke german in public and of course threw japs into detention for being japs.

but obama is on a new level.  not only does he endorse and continue every single bush policy that you all hate, he runs a higher deficit in a single month that bush did in all of 2007.  he starts new wars, expands on bad policies, pretty much just check my post history if you need a good laugh

i have a feeling you have nothing else to say

Yea he is a big disappointment thus far, and he speaks as if nothing is happening. Its like Bush was just a tool to get the policies in place, and now every future ruling party can always use that as an excuse as to why Bush era policies are still progressing.

you couldve got me i set myself up pretty hard for it.  but wait trolling is not allowed

largely depends on what expectations people had on him to begin with. You'd think people would learn that there is no difference - at least excluding rhetoric - between any of the parties/candidates etc... (major issues im talking, not the odd differing domestic issue). They are serve the coprs/institutions that fund their parties... no one should be disappointed, because no one should have any real expectations of these people.

True, for some reason I actually did have some expectations for him. No idea why now, he never really had any groundbreaking ideas or statements, just the same old shit spoke in a more educated matter than most. I was happy with the idea of health care reform,  but its really not solving any problems, just a big distraction to get those precious voters that might not have cared before.

william henry harrison was in office for 32 days. he did as much for the country as obama did. which is very little which was positive.
