Good or Bad and why?

[Otahyoni]

Since Obama is the sole purpose of your thread, i'm gonna go ahead and move it to the Politics section...

im surprised it took this long for this thread to show up...

I think that is a pretty broad thread. There's reasons I think he's good, and reasons I think that he's bad.

I'd have to say that, as of right now, there's more bad reasons than good reasons.

Anyone care to start an argument?

Whether he's good or bad depends on what you want and expect from the government.

From where I sit, Obama and his policies are bad for the country. But Bush wasn't measurably better in many regards.

Maybe if we break it down into general categories, we can hash it out better.

1. Foreign policy

2. Wars

3. Government spending

4. Taxation

5. Health care and other benefits

6. Jobs & unemployment

Anyone else have some general categories they want to talk about?

[Jake7]

I'm going to start some spin-off threads on topic I'm interested in

[Jake7]

I started one on Obama's handling of the wars, and one on the national deficit - everyone feel free to post one on a topic that you want to discuss
