Politics aside, do you agree with President Obama's comments?

I agree with what the President said. Campaigns are nothing but everyone screams, makes ridiculous promises, then fail to follow up. I especially agree with this portion of his speech - "In the echo chamber that is presidential politics, everything is dark and everything is terrible," he said. "They don't seem to offer many solutions to the disasters they perceive, but they're quick to tell you who to blame. There's nothing particularly patriotic or American about talking down America, especially when we stand as one of the few sources of economic strength in the world."

PVT James Strait SSgt Alex Robinson It was the President. i don't agree with a lot of what he says and does but I also do not think he is a terrible President or an enemy or wants us all praying towards Mecca five times a day. I think overall he has done a pretty good job considering what he was handed and the circumstances of the world. I just liked this speech and though it made a lot of sense. The Democrats will do the same thing when they start cranking up.

SGT William Howell PO1 Tony Holland I liked President Reagan a lot. I joined when he was President and in my opinion he brought the US Military back from a dangerous place. George W. Bush, meh. Below average. Carter, also unimpressive. I think Obama is better than Carter.

I would say that JFK was the better President who exhibited the traits that I associate with a real military leader.

He is lawless in my my book. No where in the constitution does it say the president can chose which laws he wants to enforce

SFC Joseph Weber I joined under Reagan too. I 100% agree with your rankings. It may change with this Iran deal, but it is going to take a couple years for them to build a bomb and hopefully we can get a President in that will fix that mess before Israel or NYC gets hit with a nuke.

He's right, but at the same time, he's also one of the very folks he's criticizing. He did it when he was initially running for office. It's not pretty and is really petty on all sides, but a price to pay for being someone that wants higher office. Everyone wants to be the leader until it's time to do the leader sh*t. That's when we'll see the grown ups from the children with big mouths.

Everyone before they get in office make a lot of promises (the president) also did this, then they sit down with the out going pres and gets to see the black binder on why he cannot deliver on over half of what they promised. In the end until there is a super majority no president will be able to keep there campaign promises.

I don't know if even then. Some Presidents in the past have had sizable majorities and done great things, some not so much.
