Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.26.13)
34. Obama was elected president of the US twice
CJK   (12.26.13)
that is more chance than any with very rare exceptions have been given. the fact that obama is a demagogue, and a little dictator, who has no understanding of the economy, of foreign affairs, of governing, is purely his fault. obama supports islamic terrorists, be they the muslim brotherhood or the shia terror regime in tehran. indeed, members of the muslim brotherhood are part of his administration. as of now, obama's meddlings in world affairs have resulted in the destruction of several states, the spread of al qaeda elements in those states and beyond, the further development of iran's nuclear weapons program, the genocide of syrian civilians.
35. Obama hates Israel!
Reuven   (12.26.13)
36. OBAMA HAS HAD 5 YEARS OF CHANCES,
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.26.13)
TIME TO ADMIT THAT HE IS A FLOP
37. Very Simple: Impeachment
Benji ,   US   (12.26.13)
He's done enough damage to please his handlers. Americans have had enough!
38. He had so many chances
me ,   here   (12.26.13)
but he didn't use them. How many chances you give to a loser and at what price? Shall we pay the price for all his rotten deeds?
39. A failed presidency.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (12.26.13)
Obama, how did he ever get elected? Take away his black skin and he remains a second rate community organizer.
40. Obama worse Us president
lucifer69   (12.26.13)
Worse than Carter
41. Naive you are
Dan   (12.26.13)
He failed in his first public speech at Cairo university when he compared the suffering of the Palestinians to the holocaust. Since then he does not exist for me, that nitwit. My late father was a "graduate" of Auschwitz. How dare Hussein Obama?
42. So much hatred for one man
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (12.27.13)
and so much made-up stuff. (1) the people of Egypt and Libya removed their old leaders and there was NOTHING the US could have done to prevent it. The US has no ability to impose anything on any group of humans. For example, Israelis ignore the US and continue down their path to a very bad future. (2) While the polls show people dislike "Obamacare" they like the Affordable Care Act and all its various components. In less than a year, ACA will be so firmly entrenched, the GOP will sulk in the corner.(3) the BOTTOM LINE is Obama will be regarded in a decade as one of the better Presidents the US has had. A lot of the negative reactions are because of racism which is still prevalent in the US.
43. #37 - there is no legal basis for impeachment
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (12.27.13)
Not only is there no legal basis for impeachment, but there are not enough votes for a conviction. It would be another huge waste of time and money, but that appears to be all that congress critters are good for.
44. The west has lack of good leadership & the axe of evil rise!
EU   (12.27.13)
45. #42
(12.27.13)
Regarding Libya, be accurate. The people of Libya desperately fought with Gadaffi against Jihadi terrorists supported by Obama/France/UK (remember the SAS terror squad caught with explosives and fake passports?). The people were on the verge of winning when Obama unleashed an unprecedented air strike against military and civilian targets (112 cruise missiles on day one, costing $250 million!) The following months, foreign special forces did the bulk of the fighting against Libyan loyalists. Even Gadaffi's capture was apparently the work of US or UK special forces. Now tell me this: for the first time since 1960 nuclear proliferation is increasing all thanks to Obama. Would you say this is a great success?
46. 17O caravan moves on but leaves a lot of manure behind for
Alan ,   SA   (12.27.13)
others to clean up... if it can be cleaned up!
47. #42 Racist card irrelevant
Dina ,   USA   (12.27.13)
Obama's approval rating is tanking. He's lied over and over again to the American public and they will not forgive him for that. Obamacare has been a fiasco. US healthcare is totally screwed up thanks to Obama.
48. Obummbler is hated for very good and real reasons!
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (12.27.13)
49. #47 - the racism is real
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (12.27.13)
The REALITY is the US health care system is OK for 97% of the people and is only "screwed up" for less than 1%. The news is concentrating on the 1% instead of the 97%. By mid 2014 US health care will not even be in the news. The reality is Obama has done quite well given the brutal opposition he has had.
50. To: No. 43
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.27.13)
He was not born in the United States. That's grounds for removal from the presidency without the need for impeachment. He stole a Social Security Number. That's identity theft, and is grounds for imprisonment.
51. To: No. 42
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.27.13)
In 2014, 82 million people will lose their private insurance and will have to make do with inadequate coverage under Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act is substandard. In 2015, an additional 110 million people will lose their private insurance. Fully seventy percent of medications covered under private insurance are unavailable under the Affordable Care Act. Mind telling me how life-sustaining medication which costs $60 per month under private insurance plans but is not covered under the ACA and thus carries a monthly price tag of $2,200 qualifies as "affordable" for most people? Obama is destined to go down in history as the very worst president in history. Did he not, after all, serve as president for all three of the downgrading of the United States bond rating? Why, I believe he did. Not one, not two, but THREE. He's a liar and a fraud and the very worst thing that has ever befallen the United States. It has nothing to do with race. He could be lily white and as WASP as they come -- he'd still be incompetent.
52. Obama's approval rating ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.27.13)
... has averaged 40% throughout the time he has held office. What does that tell you? If Obama had any pride, he would resign. That's a humiliating percentage.
53. Worship and praise
Etienne Prinsloo ,   Nova Scotia Canada   (12.28.13)
What a great position to be in. America's first black president can do no wrong, he is the saviour of the world. Putin has him on a leash and it is spun as a success! Egypt, Libya, Syria and Lebanon is disintegrating and that is hailed a victory. Hussain has alienated all America's allies in the ME, worsened Israel's position on all fronts and the liberal Jewish lobby worship him as their saviour. Obamacare was railroaded through congress and predictably handgranaded, yet the saviour is blameless. HaShem is God, not Obama.
54. #43 actually there are a lot of reasons for impeachment
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.27.13)
He has refused to enforce the laws of the United States - that alone is grounds for impeachment. Fast and Furious, IRS Gate, NSA spying, etc. etc. I can find at least 20 different impeachable articles. He makes Richard Nixon look honest
55. 50 Sarah B
jonathan ,   adelaide/Israel   (12.28.13)
How do you know this is true and the senate does not?
56. Obama foreign policy
Yoel Larry ,   New York USA   (12.28.13)
No telling how much more damage the 'amateur' can do in the 3 years left in his term. American foreign policy is like watching a slasher flick in slo mo and with baited breath waiting for the killer to jump out screaming from behind the cellar door. But doesn't it seem as if everything is going according to some sinister plan? At least for the slasher...and more than possibly for Obama! Thanx a hellava lot Millenials!
57. #50 & 51 are totally made up and untrue
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (12.27.13)
Readers outside the US who are not familiar with the massive delusions some people in the USA have, might not understand that Sarah is just making stuff up that are not even close to the truth. If you read reasonably unbiased information sources, you will discover just how delusional Sarah is.
58. #49 Uninformed
Dina ,   USA   (12.27.13)
Six million people have already lost their insurance. Millions more have seen an increase in premiums. Millions more in line for cancellation. In addition, those with insurance are already having trouble finding physicians who will agree to treat them as many are considering private pay or concierge and retirement. The reality is that Obama has lied to Americans to advance his agenda over and over again.
59. Nr 50-51-52.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (12.27.13)
All Jews should leave the US, before Obama through the State confiscates all US Citysens privat economical savings. There is prophesies in the US foreseeing this. Arn.
60. #58 & 59 are more made up stuff
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (12.28.13)
There is NO basis in fact for what Dina writes as any non-delusional, reasonably reliable source can DOCUMENT. Dina and Sarah represent a MINORITY of Americans. As for AM Sweden, the REALITY is Jews are doing just fine in the US and there is no basis in fact that the government is going to confiscate anything. Most of what gets written here is pure fiction.
