    He is very controlling and self absorbed. He thinks killing babies is justified. He also makes excuses for everything like a spoiled brat. When others are suffering he takes OUR jets all over and spends money like crazy on parties at the White House and lavish vacations. I would smack the holy sh t out of my kids if they acted so selfish. It's better to have a role model that cares about others and understands how to work hard. I sure don't want to raise a whiner. acted selfish role model cares understands work raise whiner Obama blame game

    If i wanted my son to be a complete failure, then Obama would be a role model.
    Fortunately i do have a brain unlike most liberals here on SH.
    No Obama is certainly NOT what I'd call a role model.
    In fact i wouldn't let that two bit POS near my son.

    He is a positive role model in that he is a dark skinned man (not really black) that has risen to the level of President of the United States. So that is a positive role model.

    But, just like a sports star or actor that acts badly, he is also a bad role model. He will be seen as a failure at the job and if they ever start looking at the lies he tells, then he is a horrible role model.

    He's basically a child himself.
    He takes no responsibility.
    He always blames someone, or everyone, else for his messes.
    He gorges himself on junk food.
    He would rather go outside and play games than do do his job.
    He whines about how unfair his life is.

    I know some children that would be a roll model to him.

    None of the above.

    I think President Obama has given kids hope and encouragement because the kids know that it doesn't matter what ethnic background you come from, you can become the President of the United States of America. I hope that the kids would try not to be like President Obama and have bad policies but that the kids would grow up and have good policies as President of the United States of America.

    Absolutely. Against all odds, he rose to the Presidency. He was President of the Harvard Law Review, graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard, is a loving and responsible father, and has lead a pretty exemplary life. He's a good athlete, remains calm under pressure, and has a good sense of humor. I know that's not what you want to hear, and will probably come up with some BS about him being a Kenyan Muslim Communist Terrorist, but in spite of all the right wing hatred, lies and rhetoric, you'd be crazy to not want your child to follow in his footsteps.

    He sealed his records. So the statement that he graduated from Harvard cannot be verified.
    No one remembers him there.
    As for him being a loving and responsible father. I hardly ever see him with the kids, and i have never seen their birth certificates, so i do not even know if they are his kids.
    Obama is a good athlete? He'd better be because come 2012 we are going to find out the truth about him, and if he is a Kenyan as we believe, he will be running for his life.
    Calm under pressure? That remains to be seen.
    When he is arrested for being a blockhead and trying to destroy America from within, i will be glad that my son did NOT follow in his footsteps.

    Let me address this to you as someone who voted for him and who was a Bush Basher for 8 years. I voted for him not knowing much about him thinking that a lot of the attacks were lies just like you and there was no way I was voting for McCain as that fool would have gotten us into WWIII. The first act that revealed Obama's lack of leadership was when he thought he would close Gitmo using an Executive Order turning his own political party against him leading him to storm off swearing he was going to shut Gitmo down if he had to do it himself revealing he views the Executive Order as a dictate... and ultimately, he winds up keeping the place open stabbing you guys who remained loyal in the back. The next huge mistake was in promising a certain number of jobs would be created by the Summer... didn't happen did it and when people criticized him, you guys started accusing his opposition of racism while admitting if we had elected a white Democrat his opposition would be acting the same way... so where was the racism? Where... people like yourself because his supporters were the one's who couldn't see anything but his skin color because they can't see a black man as anything but a victim.

Where... people like yourself because his supporters were the one's who couldn't see anything but his skin color because they can't see a black man as anything but a victim. Oh, there is racism against him from Republicans but there is racism against Obama from both the rightwing Democrats and leftwing Democrats as being a Liberal doesn't mean you can't be a racist who hates black people... or who can't see a black man as anything but a victim because of his skin color.

    The we had the idiot rush into trying to fix our relations with Iran which Bush hurt... they were having an election in six months and any grade school student can tell you he should wait until the elections so he knows who he will be dealing with and can better prepare himself. End result... he destroyed our relations completely with Iran and we have missiles pointed at Iran now. He made secret deals with Big Pharma and Big Oil, he betrayed you tossing out the public option twice in his healthcare plan when you guys said you wouldn't support it if he did because it couldn't work if he did that... now, Obama all but admits his plan won't work proving the opposition correct!

    But let's get to the big ones... he never voted against Bush even once as a US Senator but in favor of everything Bush wanted making him as responsible for this recession we're in as any Republican who voted for what Bush wanted. Instead of abolishing Bush era policies, he has continued almost all of them. His voting record is so rightwing it's painfully clear he's playing Liberals like fools telling you what you want to hear to get your support but he has to give rightwing Democrats results to gain their support and unite both sides by attacking Republicans which backfired big time once he became President.

    Now, let's look at the Obamacrats. Not only did they raise endless claims of racism over issues that had nothing to do with Obama's race from his oppositions pov as you yourselves admit they would have treated a white Democratic President the exact same way meaning it's party politics. As you did with Carter, then Clinton and now Obama... the Liberals take every Democrat victory as the United States electing them to power so they start crying out how they're going to fix everything and begin campaigns of hatred to get even not only with Republicans, but attack all Conservatives forgetting half your own party are rightwing Democrats so you split your party against itself and bring Republicans back to power after just two years. Clinton won re election only because he shifted to the right after the 1994 elections when Democrats got pounded by a Republican resurgence. His Obamacrats opposed Bush going to war yet as soon as the Democrats won in 2008, they threw aside their Anti War signs to become Pro War supporters as long as Democrats were in charge. Likewise, we have the situation in the San Joaquin Valley in California that had their water shut off by environmentalists under Obama so a region the size of Rhode Island was devastated with only FOX News reporting the story as the left leaning media refuse to report on it because it would make Obama look bad. And then there was the Gulf of Mexico with the oil which not one thinking person on the entire planet believes that Obama's supporters wouldn't have tried to rip Bush apart had this happened under him... let alone look the other way when Obama made his secret deal giving Big Oil everything it wanted before the disaster.

    The issue with his hospital birth record... he could have released that document at any time but refused to do it to use the issue to make his opposition look bad. Then when he does release the document, it also looked fake with the way it was presented and even some of his supporters using Adobe Illustrator discovered there were in fact alterations to the document. Thankfully for Obama, the South was hit by over 300 tornadoes on the same day he did this so that the media was a bit busy to focus on the document being found to have alterations not just by Obama's opposition... but by his supporters as well. I said all along all Obama had to do was release this hospital birth record to end the birther movement because there never was a movement... no leaders, no organizers... nothing that would define it as a movement. Instead, it was like the Red Scare where everyone learned to shut up and not support any form of Socialism as that would get you attacked and persecuted even by Liberals in the 1950's whether you were a Socialist or not because even Anti Communists would be accused of being Socialists and Communists by their own fellow Anti Communists if you ever questioned them or what was going on. The Birthers were just people asking questions because of how poorly Obama's website manager presented his COLB... but all people really wanted was to see the hospital birth records. While the issue comes up once in a while now, you do not see Birthers bringing the issue up like they did before Obama released his hospital birth record proving he could have done it at any time with no effort... so why then did he wait two years to do it when he saw how the country was divided by the issue? You can't say because it would only make things worse as by in large it's all but disappeared just as I kept telling you guys it would and that he had no reason not to release it except he wanted us to be divided against one another over the matter.

    I'd be crazy not to want my kids to follow in his footsteps... if I had a kid this damn ignorant who makes his living as an opportunist who purposely allowed the Birther issue to divide people to the point beyond hatred to almost a killing rage who carried on the policies of his predecessor, who stabbed his loyal supporters in the back endlessly, who claims to be a leftwinger but almost always votes with the political right in his party... I'd probably shoot him myself to keep him from manipulating people further, betraying those who put their faith in him and turning our country against itself.

    Unlike you, I don't blindly support people to a point there's not a place left on my back for him to place another knife.

    Barack Obama is an opportunist who exploits, manipulates and betrays anyone and everyone for his own needs.

    Even when he supposedly killed Osama, we had CIA agents right there practically next door for 4 years meaning that if that compound could not be missed as we were told... then our leaders knew where Osama was for four years meaning Bush knew where he was as well and may have been watching everyone coming and going tracking people and learning who his key people were as we killed one after another, Then he destroys the body and refuses to release the photos he claims are of Osama... so where's his proof? All he gave us was assurance we killed Osama and since we all know practically all our leaders in Washington DC are liars... any other President, the left would be demanding proof just like his opposition. Had Obama claimed we found and killed Hitler you would have believed him blindly not needing proof.

    Let our children follow in his footsteps... man, you really are delusional as i wouldn't let my kids follow in Bush's footsteps and certainly won't let them walk in Mini Me Obama's footsteps.

    But Obama makes Bush look like a genius compared to Obama and no, the only reason I say things like that isn't because I became a Bush supporter, I say it because you guys can't blame Obama for anything even as we get closer to his third year in office... it's all Bush's fault no matter how often Obama supported him instead of his fellow Democrats.

    But in saying you'd like your kids to walk in his footsteps... you mean you hope he becomes a US Senator who only supports the President of his opposition party instead of supporting his own political party and as President, your kid then continues almost all the former Presidents policies and then abuses his power to an even higher degree than the man he replaced? I hope you don't have any children because you're hoping he'll exploit people who give him blind support and then walks all over them tossing his support to their opposition. The only reason his opposition still oppose him is that Obama has played the same scam one time too many in attacking the Republicans and allowing people like yourself to split your own party against itself... he was never selling out to the Republicans to get their support, the first two years had the Democrats remained united he didn't even need Republican support and because of his leftwing supporters, he had to sell out to the rightwing Democrats to try everything he could to reunite your political party.

    Why don't you read his own words, in his books? Go to left leaning snopes. It's there. It is a fact that he is a self described Marxist, racist and muslim supporter (read it in context as "muslim" is not used). Anyone with a decent grasp on English will know this after reading his own words.
