It has been said the most wretched person is not totally useless - he can always serve as a bad example. Obama will serve as the standard bearer of corrupt, inept and divisive presidents this country ever had.
Please, show how radical Obama is.
Obama strikes: 272
Total reported killed: 2,454 - 3,130
Civilians reported killed: 484 - 828
Children reported killed: 175
Total reported injured: 1,175-1,288
Obamacare had nothing to do with the republican plan it was created by a panel Obama put together including 3 lobbyist from big pharma and health insurance companies.

In 2010 the only budget Obama ever passed mandatory spending hit 14.3% of the GDP the highest in over 50years and discretionary spending hit 9.8% of the GDP the highest since 1988.

The reduction in spending this year came not from Obama's policies but the republican obstructionism the democrats are complaining about resulting from the republicans refusing to pass bills until their constitutional obligation of passing a budget was met.
NDAA was due to expire so he re-signed it and added US citizens to the target list per E.O.
The health care reform bill is very much like the republican-led Massachusetts plan, although there are more cost-savings measures in it. And it's very much like the republican plan that was proposed by the Clinton administration. In this, the plan is not radical. In doing business with insurance companies and Big Pharma, he is also not radical, it's been the way of every president in recent years. The most radical part of the plan is the new regulation of insurance companies.
As I'm sure you know, the 2010 budget was completed in spring 2009 -- the height of the worst recession in 80 years. This means GDP was lower than usual, and spending was higher than usual. But thanks for supporting your statements. THe nondiscretionary budget that year was lower than the 2009 budget. And the discretionary budget proposed by the white house every year since has been lower each year.

And, you can say the republicans are heros for holding up all legislation until passing a budget, but since they refuse to negotiate on the budget at all, and propose budgets that do not support the legislation already passed, you cannot really hold them blameless. Congress is not working to meet its obligations or serve the citizens of the United States.
In any case, whether you like Obama or not, and I agree there are many things he has done that I don't like either, you still cannot say he's that different that any of the last several presidents.
The democrats are the ones refusing to pass a budget they shot down every one the president has put forth including the last one which received zero votes in favor from either party. As the majority it is their duty to propose budgets which they have refused to do while the republicans have proposed 4 just this year and every year before have proposed them as well.
I agree that both sides are acting like children but the democrats are not even trying to get along, as seen by not fulfilling their obligations.
That doesn't change my point at all. If there is a difference between Obama and Bush regarding Al Qaeda operatives killed and/or detained, it's a matter of degree, not a radical difference.
