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.

I'll have to get back to you on that one, maybe he will do something worthwhile in his remaining two years.

SSG(P) (Join to see) I disagree that he has broken down the race barrier. He has supported African Americans, claimed one of them could have been his son, and sent 3 ambassadors to the funeral of a thug. The violence he (and Al & others) incited lead to the death of many white Americans and not a word was said. But, the truth causes me to digress from your original question. What I like about Obama is that with each passing day he has one less day to further damage our country. I also like the fact that he will look great dresses in orange in Guantanamo Bay Cuba when I am President! Peace and Love to all......

For an example of a far left troll who doesn't go by his real name, but DOES use his real image, search SSgt Rmon CoeUr. He used to have his real name displayed and then changed it. His line of work? Protagonist at Social Gadfly.

SSG Andres Redondo I appreciate your comments. Yes, we have had this discussion before and I find your response to be fair and neutral. I do appreciate that.

Capt Jeff Schwager, you are way out of line. I cannot help the issue that in your mind I bear a resemblance to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Personally, I do not think I look like him, but then I've been looking at my face for 63 years. I viewed your rules posting as a veiled threat, which I don't take too lightly. I found that highly offensive. You accuse me of posting "far left bias in his postings", I consider my postings as being moderate. I have never in any of my postings claimed to be nothing other than a "Conservative Democrat". How you got far left bias out of that shows a lack of unbiased assessment on your part. You also accuse me of having "multiple profiles". I don't know what database you are talking about, but I only have ONE on any social websites I belong too. Unless it is considered "far left" to be on more than one social website. You also accuse me of trolling. My mind doesn't work like that, in fact I consider that unethical to the point that the thought never crossed my mind as it did yours. Maybe you have issues with who you are and consider multiple accounts and trolling to be the norm, but I do not. I am not ashamed of who I am and what I post. I have no reason to misrepresent myself. I am me and I am proud to be me! Also, who made you the "picture police", I can post any picture of myself I choose as long as it is in good taste. I can't help if if narrow minded individuals such as yourself insist on making me be someone I am not. You refer to another individual as trolling. Well excuse me, but that has absolutely nothing to do with me! If you found my response to be racists, that could be that I found your accusation to be racists. You have questioned my integrity, honesty, and character with no justification, proof or reason and I find that to be highly offensive that is in fact my right! I suggest Capt Jeff Schwager that you take a look in the mirror and ask yourself this question. Did I deserve the accusations you leveled against me. As a side note, I am glad I did not serve under your command, you are not the kind of officer I could respect as a leader!

Capt Jeff Schwager, have we finally laid our feud to rest? I come to Rally Point to exchange views with other people who have and are serving our country. I did not join to have my character called into question or to "fight" with other members. I believe in an exchange or ideas and opinions. It appears the only area we really disagree on is our Commander-In-Chief and his performance. I'm willing to forget about our feud if you are. Sincerely!

Because of the affordable care act, millions of 65 year old ladies can now get birth control paid for and have it available. This is a good idea.

As a single man, I sure wish I could drop the prenatal care portion of my policy. I don't believe I'll ever need it.
