Barack Obama is a good president.

Rebuttals:Some of your arguments were true, but some weren't. "Bush left a massive and ,quite frankly, disgusting mess for Obama to clean up. Bush doubled the national debt, failed to find the WMDs he was so keen to find in Iraq, and sparked the flame of hatred towards the US all over the Middle East and the Islamic world in general with his extremely aggressive War of Terror program. Moreover, when Obama took office in 2008, America was in the middle of what came to be known as the Great Recession, which resulted from the crash of the housing market as well as US government housing policies. "Bush did leave a mess for Obama, but frankly. .. Obama has made it even worse for the economy. Obama has doubled the debt just like Bush. .. (you will see more in my argument) and the only reason he started the wars in the middle-east was because of the attacks on 9/11, which brought fear among Americans. If Bush hadn't done something, it would have shown weakness in the government. Also, Obama really hasn't done better than Bush in GDP growth rate, yes there was a recession in 2008-09, but George Bush brought America out of a recession in 2001, as you can see: (. http://www.multpl.com...) "In response to this economic crisis, Obama passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus package, in an attempt to revive the economy. This program increased government spending in health care, infrastructure, education, various tax breaks and incentives, and direct assistance to individuals. Increased spending in health care ensured that the sick would remain treated in spite of the harsh economic situation, funds towards education made sure important programs were not cut, tax breaks increased consumer spending, and increased care to individuals promoted also promoted consumer spending and assisted the unemployed in the search for new jobs. "Barack Obama's unemployment rate average is terrible. His average unemployment rate for his WHOLE presidency has been 8.27. (. http://www.truthfulpolitics.com...) This is more than any other president. The only one to come actually a little close was Gerald Ford. George W. Bush had a 5.27 which is nothing close considering your statement about Bush ruining the unemployment. Yes, he is getting the unemployment down, he is really hovering at the 6.2% spot, which isn't a good spot considering that some of the president's average on here are lower than that. He has created 3,000 jobs, I will give him that. Jobs are being created, which is fine, but you really can't blame Bush, because his second term he added about 2,000 jobs. The economy really isn't "flourishing" considering his GDP growth is only about 1.9%, which has been low compared to the past 20 years. "The Affordable Care Act, or Obama Care, is one of the most heavily criticized health insurance policies in American history. However, most of these critics are Republican, which is rather ironic since Obama Care is heavily modeled off of the Republican health care plan, namely Romney's. Obama Care has covered 24 million previously uninsured people and has dropped the number of the uninsured from 18% to 13.4%. Obama Care has also been predicted by the GOP to a "job killer", but has, in fact, created more than 9 million private sector jobs. Obama Care has also disallowed insurance companies from withholding coverage not only due to pre-existing conditions but also due to errors in the application form. It also provides a tax incentive for small businesses to cover their employees, which can pay for up to 50% of the insurance cost. All in all, Obama Care has largely been a success despite the overload and crashing of its website, and has made medical insurance cheap and easy to acquire for millions upon millions of Americans. "This whole plan is stupid and is an absolute failure. This is a too expensive policy to start with, it costed about 1.15 trillion USD, and instead of lowering the amount of money being spent, it could cause $530 billion dollars to increase the deficit of the US by 2021. (. http://www.usnews.com...) Not to mention that Obama doesn't even listen to the people, when a poll went up to go back and change this act, 77% agreed with it, and they still haven't changed it. . Also, we might lose our current healthcare providers, (the people who can actually afford private insurance) because nobody will be paying for it. . they will all be paying for Obama Care, but people still say that Obama Care is "too expensive" for them. "1. Obama is Communist: Whoever says this doesn't know what a communist is. Communism is the socioeconomic ideology that seeks to eliminate social classes and currency to create social order, or a utopia (as described by Karl Marx). The income disparity right now is one of the highest in American history. Morevoer, America does not have the best relations with some of the most prominent communist countries like Cuba, China, and North Korea at the moment.2. Obama is a secret Musilim: Even if Obama was a Muslim, that does not mean anything in terms of whether or not he is a good president. Morevoer, most of the Islamic countries in the Middle East only use "Obama" when the word "Kill" precedes it.3. Obama is a socialist: Again, those who say this don't know what a socialist is. Socialism is a socioeconomic ideal in which means of production is owned by the government, that is, the government regulates industry. In fact, America has been practicing a form of socialism since the 16th Amendment (Government can tax income), which has been deemed "Capitalist Socialism".4. Kenyan-Born: Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate exists. Frankly, there are more interesting things to talk about.5. Gun Confiscator: The 2nd Amendment which guarantees a right to bear arms was written during a time when owning a musket made you as equipped as the average soldier. Now we have weapons ranging from fully automatic machine guns to heat seeking guided missiles. I, for one, do not want Joe Schmo off the street to have access to these big guys.6. Former Drug Dealer: What, because he's black? There is zero evidence for this claim, and I am honestly quite shocked that I see this accusation almost everywhere. "Well, I haven't heard of most of these, so I wouldn't really know, and I have never called Obama any of these, so this really isn't an argument. I am going to run out of characters. .. so I can't rebut the rest, I only have about 2,500 characters to go. Arguments:The DebtThe debt is overwhelming with Obama. He has added more debt than all the 43 US presidents combined! [1] It might sound crazy. .. but it's true! He has added $6.6 trillion in debt, which is more than all 43 US presidents combined, which has a total of $6.3 trillion. Most of that did come from Bush, so if you take his debt out, you get about $5 trillion dollars in debt. This is an overwhelming amount of money, and our GDP can't even keep up with our debt! (. http://www.usdebtclock.org...) Over 227 years, it took $6.3 trillion debt to add up, but he has added more than that much in only 5 years. This is only ONE term. It is pathetic. Work Force/UnemploymentYou talk about creating jobs and unemployment, well because of Obama's policies and acts, 11,472,000 americans have left the work force. [2] They have been waiting for jobs and looking for jobs, but really can't find any. Because of this the unemployment has increased .2%, so the unemployment is increasing by some. The number of unemployed Americans increased by 197,000 in just a month, too. The number of unemployed people have been increasing. Food stampsIn 2013, a record high of 20% of households were on food stamps. This is the most in USA's history. Most people believe that policies such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, have been causing this. Why? Because the remainder of people from the act stemmed from other factors, such as higher food prices and lower income among beneficiaries, both of which boost benefits. [3] This is not good, we are giving out food for free, when most people need it. LiesEven Barney Frank admits Barack Obama lied to the american people just to get Obama Care passed and, he did. He promised that Americans could keep their insurance plans, that they could keep their doctors, and that Obamacare would save the average family $2500 per year. Not only were all of those lies, Obama knew they were lies when he made those promises. Obama literally LIED to the american people's faces. He said talking about tax hikes: "You have 80 percent of the American people who support a balanced approach. Eighty percent of the American people support an approach that includes revenues and includes cuts. So the notion that somehow the American people aren’t sold is not the problem. " This gallup poll says otherwise: (. http://www.gallup.com...)Most americans do not want tax hikes, they prefer spending cuts. Onto you, Pro. Ran out of characters!
