If what they've accomplished is not what they said they would accomplish, then I don't think it should count. Yes, I know politicians will say anything to get elected but I tend to try to hold them them to what they said they'd do.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter both like Obama. He's elevated their standing in the presidential ranking.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

Carter probably. Clinton (pre-revolution) is still better than Obama.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

What Americans are asked at the polls is which man should be president. If the choice is between two people, the only rational way to evaluate is to compare the outcomes."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Well - another poll is needed: Who was a better president in the first term. GW or Obama. I bet in that one Obama would look good.
Only by using some comparative vs abysmal competition can Obama come out as anything resembling good. He had a good start, and has abysmally poor competition, but not much more than that.
In the terms of the presidential race, I am curious to see how would a Mormon White House function, just for curiosity sake, even if it means US collapse four years earlier.Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good." Brian: "Romanes eunt domus"
GW 2013: "and juistin bieber is gay with me and we have 10 kids we live in u.s.a in the white house with obama"

I'm amazed by the confusion of ideas that could lead to a Yugoslavian believing that the US is on the brink of collapse because it might elect a capitalist."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

That being said, I disagree with a number of things that he supports but which he said he would not support before he was elected.
