The outlook on Obama has been so skewed. ...
I try to see it from the people saying they have been disappointed with hims perspective, but every time I come to the conclusion that they are just being unfair, unrealistic, and unobjective in their analysis.

The outlook on Obama has been so skewed. Seriously, nobody had the slightest clue the financial meltdown would be occurring until like 2 weeks before the 2008 election. "Obama got a totally different country than he campaigned on getting on...but still he sucks".

Anybody else worried this is the end of world as we have known it in America since the mid 80s and really since 1946?

Frankly, to be blunt - the entire attitude towards another four years of Obama has been incredibly off-base. There is no reason in existence to think the next four years under Obama would be anything like the last four. It is like comparing the act of reconstructive surgery to the rehab getting you back to 100%. Obama will have no wars to end, no huge bail outs to write, no entitlements to extend. Obama spent 2008-2012 dealing with problems drastically different than he spent 99% of 2007 & 2008 campaigning about. The people saying "he has been disappointed" are just point blank not being objective. It is like getting on George W Bush for not making good on his 2000 promise to seek peace with the middle east. Shit happens. Things change. Priorities change.

People judge Obama based of this idea of what a model Obama Presidency of his would of looked like; an idea created in 2007. It's just absurd. There is not a whole lot obama has done wrong, given the context of he situation. There just isn't, many of the decisions he has had to make - outside of Obamacare- have been fairly obvious ones. It is why Romney has zero new ideas or solutions to the problems he spends so much time whining about.

If Obama can possibly win another four years, people are going to remember him so much differently than they do right now. Obama has spent four years setting us for significant growth, I just hope he can be president during it and get the credit for it (as opposed to a do nothing weasel like Romney). Obama is being faulted because he could not do the impossible, which is totally turn our economy around. He has done what Hoover and FDR failed to do - stop a depression from occurring. We always faced a fiscal criss after 28 years of huge spending. Thanks to Obama, we will do it with a full GDP & 7% unemployment instead of a fraction of our GDP and 20% unemployment - which is where we were headed.

I try to see it from the people saying they have been disappointed with his perspective, but every time I come to the conclusion that they are just being unfair, unrealistic, and unobjective in their analysis.

Well, we have - more than likely- seen the last of Barack Obama in debates.

One of the all time great speakers, and charismatic personalities in American politics, is done with public debates. In two weeks, one of the greatest campaigners of all time, will have completed the final campaign for himself he will ever run.

100 years from now, people will still be talking about him, and showing clips of from his speeches, talking about the incredible campaign he ran in 2008, and he will serve a hero for African Americans everywhere. Win or lose in 2 weeks, agree or disagree with him personally, it has been a privilege for everyone who has paid attention, to watch Barack Obama rise to prominence.

Here are the relevant portions of the exchange, which was triggered when regular guest Mike Barnicle announced how amazing he found it that so little public attention and debate is paid to the fact that Obama simply kills whomever he wants "without any kind of due process":

SCARBOROUGH: "What we're doing with drones is remarkable: the fact that over the past eight years during the Bush years - when a lot of people brought up some legitimate questions about international law - my God, those lines have been completely eradicated by a drone policy that says: if you're between 17 and 30, and within a half-mile of a suspect, we can blow you up, and that's exactly what's happening . . . . They are focused on killing the bad guys, but it is indiscriminate as to other people who are around them at the same time . . . . it is something that will cause us problems in the coming years" . . . .

KLEIN: "I completely disagree with you. . . . It has been remarkably successful" --

SCARBOROUGH: "at killing people" --

KLEIN: "At decimating bad people, taking out a lot of bad people - and saving Americans lives as well, because our troops don't have to do this . . . You don't need pilots any more because you do it with a joystick in California."

SCARBOROUGH: "This is offensive to me, though. Because you do it with a joystick in California - and it seems so antiseptic - it seems so clean - and yet you have 4-year-old girls being blown to bits because we have a policy that now says: 'you know what? Instead of trying to go in and take the risk and get the terrorists out of hiding in a Karachi suburb, we're just going to blow up everyone around them.'

"This is what bothers me. . . . We don't detain people any more: we kill them, and we kill everyone around them. . . . I hate to sound like a Code Pink guy here. I'm telling you this quote 'collateral damage' - it seems so clean with a joystick from California - this is going to cause the US problems in the future."

KLEIN: "If it is misused, and there is a really major possibility of abuse if you have the wrong people running the government. But: the bottom line in the end is - whose 4-year-old get killed? What we're doing is limiting the possibility that 4-year-olds here will get killed by indiscriminate acts of terror."

...

Obama has led all sorts of progressives and other Democrats to be the most vocal supporters of unrestrained aggression, secret assassinations, and "crippling" the Iranian people with sanctions. It is completely unsurprising that the most sociopathic defense of drones comes from one of the most committed Obama supporters, and that it's now left to a former GOP Congressman to raise objections. As much as anything, that is the Obama legacy.
