We have seen many things about our POTUS that many do not like about him, and while we have all had leaders we did not like, we could usually pick out a few things, or traits/characteristics you could use or emulate.

So, list the things you do like, keep it professional as always. What did momma say? "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say nothing all."

I'll start:
(1) President Obama broke the racial barrier. He earned an education, became a Senator and a lawyer and is now the President.
(2) He has given millions a hope that one day they can do something great, especially those from under privileged areas.

(3) He has largely supported the military until as of recently with the downsizing, which is inevitable in every decade, our leaders have to make cuts...we keep only the best and brightest, right?

(4) He is a very supportive husband and father, and we need strong father role models in today's society where fathers are as rare as a long term-marriage.

I believe he honestly wants good things for America...I don't necessarily agree with the way he is going about it.

(5) He authorized the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

I know there aren't many fans on RP, but if there is something you like, share it if you dare.

He has his clearing papers and he is almost a SINGLE DIGIT Midget.
He is being kicked out of the Public House by not a Politician.
His wife is being replaced by an naturalized immigrant.

The thing that I can support is that he is a supportive father and husband. Other than fund-raising, playing golf and spending more $$$ than King Midas ($70 Million in seven years directly attributable) he HAS to be doing SOMETHING right. Closing GITMO and releasing terrorists is BAD juju. Thirty percent documented return to terrorist. Smart people learn from their mistakes. POTUS has never been licenced as a lawyer in Illinois. He lied on his background check, so badly a minimum check caught him. His claim and endorsement that he was a law prof

I like that he always makes a fool out of himself. I like that his term is almost over and we will get someone new to pick on.

I guess I need to follow your momma's advice.
What did momma say? "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say nothing all."
I guess that sums up what I have to say.

He always knows how to blame someone else for his failed policies.

I wish he would just go pro golfer, (not that he is qualified,) and stop mucking up everything. He truly has the reverse Midas Touch, every thing he touches turns to excrement.

He knows how to delegate responsibility AND ACCOUNTABILITY?!! His lead-from-behind leadership style is a source of inspiration to ALL that don't understand the fundamentals of leadership.

He's good at blaming others when things go wrong! [Maybe not so effective at convincing Conservatives everything is their fault but you have to give him an "A" for effort. He preys upon the ignorance of his low information base and uses it to his full advantage!!!]
