Here is a poser for both US and non US citizens about Obama.What do you think of this president,did he do a good job this past 4 years or did he screw up things and made it worst ?
Or do you think that one term isn't enough time for him to be effective in fulfilling his pledges.
Actually I am more curious as to how most non US citizens think of this American president. Personally,i think that this guy is trying but the status
quo of american politics is his biggest obstacle. I don't think the American president is as powerful as he is made out to be,he may have meant well and try to do what he promised before getting elected but when he started his term and got acquainted with the hard facts ,probably realised then that it just isn't practical to keep some of the campaign promises he made.Like shutting down Guantanamo,didn't happen! Alfghanistan troop pullout? opposite actually , more marines were inserted, plus etc.
Well, the American president can't really do what he decides even with public support.Gotta deal with congress.
Don't know about Mylotters opinions but i do feel Obama deserves another term and continue the momemtum of his presidency and things will improve in the USA.But heck,I ain't American,what do i know! but i kinda like this Obama guy ,from impressions i got from the media.

I am sorry but I do not feel the same way.. Obama was asked to produce his original birth certifcate.. There were issues on why he didnt have one.. People in the government pressured the issue; then the issue was covered up by something else.. The birth certifcate was never produced.. It is a requirement for a US President to be a natural born citizen.. Obama can not produce the documentation because it will prove that he is not a natural born citizen.. Obama represents or is a poster child presay; for minorities and speical interest groups.
Obama may have done a lot of good and bad things in the last four years.. Like every other president.. But I cannot stand up for someone that is a lier.. Who can not produce a simple document.. That is not a person that I would want representing the USA..
On top of other things that I just totally disagree with.. Granted we were already in debt before Obama came in office.. But he created debt that my unborn grandchildren will be paying and my sons are very very young.. That was within the first quarter of office.. If he was really trying to boost the government he could of/ should of divided that money up and returned it to the American tax payers... That would have stimulted the ecomny... People buying new cars, thous helping the auto industry, some might of bought new/used homes boosting the housing; and then shopping for needs that citizens have not been able to get up until them becasue there was no money.. In all of that there is taxes; money going right back into the budget.. Thus not so much debt.. Instead major auto companies paid their bills; some still closed their doors.. And several CEOs padding their back pockets.. Now is that someone you want running our country???

Isn't the issue resolved alredy? Obama stating being born in Hawaii.Then the forgery controversy so on.Liar ? well,isn't he a politician.Hardly shocking is it? I don't understand why it is so important where he was born instead of whether he did a good job for the country as it's president. i mean, the guy has already being elected ,like it or not,i think his mindset is as american as it can get having lived in the US his whole life.Even if he wasn't born in the states,what does it have to do with him being president and running the country for the past 4 years. Unless he sells out his country or intentionally sabotage things that the country goes bankrupt or something.
Correct me if i am wrong,didn't he inherit a trillion dollar deficit from the war mongering administration of Bush,2 major wars paid for on credit, tax cuts that the goverment cant afford from previous adminisration. Poor guy ,economy on the brink of collapse threatening to have a domino effect across the globe,major multinational american financial institutions going bankrupt.And he started his term as president.Just wondering whether one term of 4 years has enough time to put back the pieces.

A birth certificate was produced, but it was a fake. No birth certificate in the early 60s used "African" as a race. African American wasn't even a term back then. However, I do believe he was born in the state and think the cover up was about who his biological father really was.
He didn't inherit anything. He asked for the job.

That's my impression also. I was positive that he could do something to put a 360 degree change on everything particularly economically. It is because, any change in US will affect almost all countries, one way or the other. I hope we can have a change now, for everybody is suffering so badly, maybe a new leadership. Thanks

I disagree. He has been the worst president in my lifetime. The only thing he deserves is impeachment or to lose the election. I tolerated him until he threatened the elderly and disabled. That's a very personal issue for me as I have a disabled child. As far as I can see him and his wife are worthless.
