That's true

"using a situation to politicize a cause isnt scandalous at all" Definition of "scandalous" A.Causing general public outrage by a perceived offense against morality or law B.(of a state of affairs) disgracefully bad, typically as a result of someone's negligence or irresponsibility I would say the whole "Furguson voter thing" would fit the definition of "scandalous", especially since shortly after that was mailed off the democratic party (at least in GA) caught ALOT of flack for it. Everyone makes definite faux pas or gaffs no matter the their station or whatever. The current president has made some big ones though. One of them is DON'T TELL THE ENEMY WHEN YOUR GOING TO WITHDRAW TROOPS....because then they can sit back and wait....until you leave. There's also the issue of saying what ever it was exactly but the just of it was "this is where we draw the line"...I think it was about chemical warefare or something but it happened not once but twice I believe....and he did nothing even though he said he would *whether that's really a bad or good thing is up to interpretation though, due to consequences that might have arose from actions* and though not really a gaff but he does seem to be rather cocky with himself......but then a ton of people are....especially in politics (on both sides)

Oh forgot to mention the lack of respect he's shown other world leaders and such with not attending funerals etc. or even sending someone in his place. Not to mention the death of one of our own.

I think Obama is a terrible president, we've lost more of our integral rights as citizens under his two terms in office than we have in the past 20 years. It's not that I have anything against him as a person, I just think he's doing a terrible job of keeping a free nation free (I will admit that it's not entirely his fault the whole government is responsible, he just holds more of the responsibility due to his position). My opinions are highly biased due to the fact that I generally hate the way our government has been...well governing for a long long time now, and I generally hate the whole federal reserve system and I.R.S. in general...

Yes he is but there are CERTAIN funerals that the Presidents have ALWAY'S attended or at LEAST sent someone as a representative for. The current president has made the political faux pas of not doing this a number of times now. Some places/people actually might/do take that as an offense of sorts (especially since it was something that was ALWAYS attended to before) also it has been mentioned that at least one of those occasions he was playing golf. There may not be video of the actual shooting though there was video of the kid committing a crime earlier the same day...but that's just a side thing. I do not support ANYBODY shooting ANYBODY for selfish/pointless etc. reasons NOR do I support taking what was a TRAGEDY and trying to PROFIT from it (profit being somewhat flexible in definition here since money isn't involved). Also we are fighting with MANY people some of them are of the strong belief that if you don't believe their religion than you should DIE. It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, or what you SAY. They will still want to kill you. Do you announce all the cards in you hand/show you entire hand when you play Go Fish? Well if you said no which I assume you did then I would also think its the same with telling the enemy your battle plans. Really?....people actually complained about tan suits? That's just....I don't know what to say..... Um but the president increased the national debt by insane amounts......(not that it's likely it was every going to be paid off to begin with) and a ton of "green" businesses that were funded by it failed (not likely that they were going to work anyway....sadly). Also on an unrelated note, Communism really isn't a bad idea, the only problem is that "we" as humans, overall, don't like the general idea by nature once it's actually in practice. The whole idea of why should I work so much harder for the same pay? It's not a bad idea but just one that's most likely never going to work.

Don't know why anyone is wining at the President to do things. He can't pass laws, That's congress' job. He can use his Executive Orders to do something but it only lasts a few months to a few years. He can't pass any budget, only propose since any spending bills has to go through the House. However, since he was a Senator for a bit, President Obama should know a few things to help convince Congressional leaders but he has been lacking in this part. Also about the war part, that entire thing was poorly planned by both Bush and Obama. We destabilized the nations, failed to defeat the groups we were going to defeat in the first place, and left them without fixing the damage. And yes, you do not announce when you are leaving when there are still people fighting against you. Oh and Animekid? The chemical weapons thing was his dealing with the current civil war in Syria, since the Syrian government was using chemical weapons against the rebels and their own civilians. And President Obama decided to put their trust in the UN to remove the chemicals and not send their forces in.
animekid
Not quite. He signed his own bill for spending to attempt to help boost the economy and that's what caused us to go trillions of dollars further into debt.
