Lol, no he isn't.

snaxitysnaxsnax
I don't want to get into politics on imgur, and I'm going to die for saying this, but Obama was actually a pretty shit president.
SuspiciousCactus
Just stating a fact, I don't think he did the worst job, but a golden retriever could prop up the economy by borrowing 10 trillion dollars.
AnthonyPeterson
The POTUS doesn't actually have control of the Fed. They are the ones that can borrow or pay back debts of that nature.
ADisturbedOne
How about No?
LazyLexiconographer
I want politicians to acknowledge self ownership and respect the constitution and end the war on individuality.
aquestionfouru
Really? A good job? He can't leave fast enough in my opinion.
CharlestonWeaverson
What do you think "pretty good job" means?
MillenKrass
Nah, fuck that

4 more years of british rule?
Homusubi
4 years of Theresa May? Er, no thanks.
wiilyc22
Hahahaha, that's ridiculous!
Zestynuggets
I agree but I think the man has had enough let him go, no need to torture the dude
Koshunae
No kidding. Obamas about to be like PEACE MOTHAFUKAS GONNA REAP THESE RETIREMENT BENEFITS

AnalTelescope
also what about 8 years usually does to a 40ish yo man
IAmTheBadW01f
If you compare presidents to their competitors over the 8 years the presidents often appear to age way more...it's the stress
imooforyou
That might be the most respectful sentiment I've read about the guy. No partisanship. Just "he's done his duty, let him be" +1
Zestynuggets
Thank you I believe whether or not you agree with with what he has done as POTUS he deserves respect for the effort
ggggggggkkkkkk
His watch is ended
CRNoel
I dunno I'm still planning on voting for bill murray
5tradivariuS
that would be a change of the rules, like putin did, and that is not the answer either
Sitraka
he' still loved by a lot of russians :/
5tradivariuS
yeah right? people see him nearly as a god, my whole family loves him, but we left russia 12 years ago bc it's very hard to live there wtf??
LammaFace
You can have a lifetime of obama policy in russia.
generousmon
Nope, he is not.

I would rather masturbate with a handful of broken glass than have either of these two fucks get elected.

Not a fan, but I never imbibed on the kool-aid.
mynamesbryson
Eh, he's a decent man but his presidency will be known for his weak and almost non-existent foreign policy.
warriorofdiscord
How many drone strikes did he authorize that killed innocent civilians, again?
trolol12
Unfortunately, that's not true tho. Tho he's been god awful at it, he'll go down as one of the best. Racist white folks if he doesnt
mynamesbryson
...what?
traceamboy
His goal was to bring the troops home.
iguessidontknowhowtospellimaganative
And signing the bill that lets citizens be held without trial
carolinaguuurl
That wasn't Obama
603Kid
He did expand the Patriot act though
charliegrs
Bush did that. Bush literally held people without trial, they are still in guantonamo today
mineovermatter
And O signed a bill authorizing it
iguessidontknowhowtospellimaganative
yes, but Obama widened it to allow US BORN CITIZENS to be held without trial
planetmarz007
Oh ignorance, what a lovely thing
bigjoemonger
Obamas response would be "not a chance in hell". In the last 8 years he's aged 30. I'm betting he spends the rest of his life on a beach
bigjoemonger
Sipping Molitor. I know I would.

Butane9000
No he really isn't. This glorious economy is just barely keeping it's head above water, racial harmony sure isn't being helped by Obama.
rayliehm
As opposed to your previous (Republican) president, who drove the economy off a cliff. GFC anyone
Butane9000
While that may be after 8 years Obama owns the current problems since he's passed his bailouts and endless quantitative easing.
Skywatcher16
or your republican nominee who is actively baiting a race war? obama might not be helping, but at least hes not provoking more of it.
mineovermatter
You're kidding, right? He gave the race BS undeserved legitimacy
Squossifrage
Well, some Trump supporters apparently think he's already served four...
Quietdeception
I dont think op understands the meaning of the word "unpopular"
THESEareATTACKeyebrowsYOUcouldOPENbottleTOPSwithTHESE
Topics like this are relative though. Somone who is constantly surrounded by Fox fans might feel as though they are in the minority.

Yeah I think anyone in their right minds would prefer Obama to choosing between a psychopath and a sociopath
Kenblu24
For once, I have to say that this is actually an unpopular opinion. Check the bad comments. Plenty who hate Obama's guts.

Janusha
Voting Clinton = 4 more years of Obama. 4 more years of "No we cant". 4 more years of nothing happening. I dont think americans understand.
katsrulz
Lots of stuff has happened in the last 8 years? Mostly coming out of the worst recession since the Great Depression.
Janusha
They TELL YOU how you are out of recession. But the unemployment, the homelessness and poverty says something else entirely.
iguessidontknowhowtospellimaganative
at best clinton would be 4 more years of Obama, and that's not a good thing.
Janusha
Exactly my point. Clinton is an expert at playing the "game" She will continue playing the game. Its not in her interest to change the game.
cwfowers
Maybe it's just time for a break. You know... Nothing perm... Just to think about who we are before we have a president again

We'll just all promise not to be a dick and spend a few years finding ourselves and maturing.

We went for a year without a government because the elected parties couldn't see eye to eye, didn't even miss it.

Spain has managed it for 9 months so far. I'm starting to think goverments are optional http://theantimedia.org/spain-no-federal-government/
Chemnerd263
Pretty sure that's illegal, and for a good reason.
NeuerStandard
in germany it is allowed, so how good can that reason be, other than being afraid of apresident that is "too competent" or false elections
srsfaceI8C
There's a reason Congress unilaterally voted to limit presidential terms. They never agree on *shit*
Skywatcher16
pretty sure america can let it happen with an insanity plea. exhibit A: who we picked as possible replacements....
TheGuyWithTheAppleTattoo
What is the reason? I actually don't know
Sitraka
I mean even if the guy is good at his job he's only human. Obama is certainly tired also too much power for too long = corruption :/
OrkFaeller
To avoid having a president-for-life / dictator type of situation I'd asume.
JustLetMeInAlreadyFFS
It's a protection against the Chavez-Castro kind of people.
DonnaNobleHasLeftTheLibrary
It was because FDR got elected 4 times, and we got scared of the potential for a monarch/dictator.
WriteStuff
So why can't we have term limits for congress?
Romale
You can, but its not a law, its a constitutional amendment, harder to do.
WriteStuff
And, strangely enough, no-one in Congress seems likely to support an amendment that limits their own power.
Romale
you don't actually need congress's approval for a const. amend.
WriteStuff
So why don't we (read public) get on this?
Aelinsaar
Remember FDR?

Yeah, especially if you're into all of that mandatory healthcare that's costing me $600 extra a month. But he's a pretty cool guy though...
megabassist
I have several friends who just pay the penalities because it's actually cheaper than the insurance itself.
TuggSpeedmann
Of you live in tennasee and kentucky ypur premiums are skyrocketing again next year
thesejarsareforfartsonly
What does that healthcare do? Like don't you have to pay for it or?
icookfoodandfightfire
then why not just get your own insurance instead of an obamacare plan?
RhealityBytes
mine is free
HurgenSchlurgenGlurgen
Out of curiosity, did the state you live in buy into ACA/"ObamaCare" or wait until the buy-in deadline passed?
srsfaceI8C
The one that gets me is a friend worked for UPS, which had really excellent insurance. They got penalized for having too good insurance.
demonic
ummm what? I want to call bs but Obamacare is such a joke that I believe you :/
Z1ggyStardust
I felt like Obamacare would of been good. It just got so fucked up in the house that the bill is nothing like it should of been
DanMoshpit69
Anytime capitalism is taken into consideration when creating something that should serve the people, it's going to be fucked.
Ferrumkit
Had it been focused on regulating things like denial of coverage and dropping high cost people. Instead they went full tard with pure volume
thundernuts19
Messed up? Everything from the legislation to the execution has been a disaster. Now some insurers are pulling out after losing millions.
HailToUltron
Yeah, it's too bad congress didn't allow Obamacare to be tweaked and fixed. Must be Obama's fault.
Vaanhalen
Mine is an EXTRA $1k per month. For a shitty high deductible plan. It's insane. Just for me not my wife. The middle class is now uninsured.
icookfoodandfightfire
then why not just get your own insurance instead of an obamacare plan?
JVanderland
Mine is nearly $800. A private plan is even more expensive.
Vaanhalen
Because the other plans all dissolved into pixie dust when obamacare was passed. That's y it's Obama best lie "ifu like ur plan ucan keepit
zPapa
Obamacare raised nearly everybody's insurance, not just those taking the obamacare plan
pgdave
Insurance costs were raising faster before the ACA than after.
zPapa
How do you know this
SemiErectForYourPleasureLadies
Not nearly, all. Mine is several hundred percent more
ImpactFPS
Yeah, sorry about all those people that aren't going to die or live debilitated. Some things aren't just about you.
Honorius77
So it's better to bankrupt healthy people to pay for other people's healthcare? Wtf man. Either fix what we had or go single payer,
Rifneno
We can't fix it. As soon as dems said HC was a problem, pubs went hard-line on it being fine just to be contradictory. Stalemates for all!
ImpactFPS
Spoken like someone who doesn't understand where healthcare costs come from.
Honorius77
Well Sherlock, I would say I understand it fairly well-but theres no meaningful way you could infer I do or don't from my prior comment.
ImpactFPS
Indeed I could. Go take a class.
jmeyers1983
You must live in one of the states whose governor refused the Medicare expansion that would alleviate some of the premiums.
SemiErectForYourPleasureLadies
You don't get Medicare unless you are in the poverty level
jmeyers1983
133% of the poverty level. Also, it does help the middle class as it lessons the community burden of the uninsured.
