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.

1- He is bold (maybe to the wrong people, but he has guts to do what HE sees that needs to be done. Better to take action (even incorrect) than to do nothing (well, lately, he's done nothing good).
2- He speaks well (after the education he received, he had better!).
3- He id facing term limits. (Thanks to God and the wisdom of our nation's forefathers).
4-...er... nope, that's it.

Lots and lots of posts. Definitely getting attention. I'm intentionally not following as politics get me worked up. Wrong site for that.

I like that he's a smoker, whether he actually is trying to quit or not.

I am emphatic to think that every President we elect is representative of what the people want. We didn't want McCain, or Romney....both represented a rich white man. I know where you are going with your statement and you have every right to believe whatever you like, it's what keeps our country great. Carry On!

The national debt is not unique to this administration, The ONLY president that has successfully balanced the budget in the last 50 years is William Jefferson Clinton. For that he deserves credit.

However, In My Opinion his poor foreign policy is directly responsible for the War on Terror, which has proven to be very expensive.

Clinton balanced the budget only because Gingrich shut down the government until Clinton sent him a balanced budget.

Well let's see, Romney and McCain are American citizens that didn't hide their birth certificates, nor there Educational documents. 10% of those names that voted for Obummer came from stones in the cemetery, or people that voted several times. But why bring that up!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPC David Hannaman - The ONLY reason "blow job Bill" balanced the budget was Newt Gingrich and the Republican controlled House and Senate.

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
