Could Obama be the worst president ever? That’s what some voters are saying, and while some of us would still rather have him than Gingrich, it makes you wonder, why do so many people hate him? After all, Osama Bin Ladin was captured and killed under Obama rule. How quickly we forget. So let’s take a look.
- The Anti Bullying Campaign – Okay so maybe you don’t care, because you think there are bigger issues at hand. However, for me, this make Obama seem at the very least, more human. Maybe it’s because he has daughters who are still in school and he wants schools to be better for all kids in the future, maybe it’s just because he thinks it’s good marketing. Either way, more suicides due to bullying have come to light, and Obama has started a movement that involves many previously bullied kids. There are still plenty of parents who believe that “toughing it out” is best and teachers and administrators who continue to do nothing, but is it really so horrible for an American president to try to change things up on a national level?
- ObamaCare – Let’s be honest for a moment. Most of us have no idea what ObamaCare actually entails. We think that this is a socialist movement that is going to make the government our healthcare provider. Technically, ObamaCare does extend government benefits to more low income adults, but private companies are still in place. Citizens are required to have insurance, and insurance companies have to adhere to stricter regulations, which include being unable to turn clients down due to certain medical conditions. Many diabetics for one can appreciate the positive effects of this.
This is all fine and good, but what has he done for us lately? Half of us hate ObamaCare, and many think that an anti-bullying campaign and better food in schools is inconsequential.

Sounds like Obama has done pretty much nothing. What a horrible president….
