Obama

[CFH]

He reminds me of Jimmy Carter in some ways.

A 1 term president?

Carter was a terrible president, if that's what you mean.

Well, most Americans seem to feel Carter was a horrible President, but under different circumstances I think he would have been fantastic (but remember that I'm a godless communist ).

He reminds me of Carter in that he's a very liberal President (something of a rarity in a right-center country like the States) who tried to enact some extremely progressive things but who inherited a terrible economy that he couldn't recover from. They differ in a lot of ways too of course - Obama seems to try to tell Americans who he thinks they want to hear, while Carter flat out told them they needed to change their way of life (and was subsequently crushed by Reagan) - but I think they will both be viewed (rightly or wrongly, and IMO it's wrongly) as one-term failures and, more interesting to me, aberrations in a political system that tends to lean to the right more often that it does the left.

Obama is a horrible, horrible President and a coward of a human being. Not one single person has been prosectuted for the financial meltdown and he brushes the war in Iraq under the carpet thus excusing war criminals. He has bailed out Wall Street and is now in the process of transfering the massive fallout upon the middle class and poor in the name of austerity. He has extended the period duing which the rich pay less than their own fair share of the tax burden and he failed to introduce a basic healthcare free at the point of use which IMO is a basic human right. He expanded the war in Afghanistan, he refuses to close Guantanamo.

In a nutshell I think Obama is a complete cunt.
