If barack obama is such a great leader....why are we always moving from one crisis to the next

The answer is that Obama is an atrocious leader. I saw this coming a mile away, since his experience prior to becoming president was simply laughable. He was a community organizer, a law school professor and then a politician. That's a joke. What happened was that he gave a good speech in 2004 at the democratic convention, and people confused that for competency. Then there were people that voted for him simply because he was half-black, and then others because he was "not Bush".

Once in office, he's been completely inflexible and indecisive at the same time. Not only has he caused us to lurch from crisis to crisis in America, but he's severely weakened America's standing abroad (seeing more from Putin lately???).

He's the definition of an atrocious leader.

 

Gerrymandering. More people voted for Democrats in the House this past election than Republicans, but Republicans won more seats because they've designed them that way.

This lack of ability to see anything but one explanation is a serious problem for you.

 

Continuing your brilliant, high-quality analysis, I see.

 

You've clearly done your homework.

 

Hey, at least he's got the teabagger talking points down pat!

 

You think registering people to vote = begging for votes?

You don't think there are republican voter drives?

Please stop. You're only hurting yourself at this point.

 

Hey, he isn't a tea party member.. he is a hardworking entrepreneur, through innovation and hard work has contributed economic and job growth. *rolling eyes*

 

Your lack of understanding and logical leaps makes it highly unlikely that your claim of having a masters from Rice is legit. Either you are trolling or you made that stuff up.

Registering people to vote is not begging for a vote, nor does it lock people down in the way they will vote. It is only making them eligible to vote, and they can vote for any party or candidate they choose.

 

I don't know how young you are but over time you will observe that 'crisis' is the standard operating mode for all news/politics. For the news, that's what sells. For politics, that's how sides try to sway perception.

If you would like to read more about how this "modern world" of politics works I suggest you read The Prince, by Niccolò Machiavelli. It was published in 1532.

 

Serious question. Did you somehow avoid taking a U.S. government course through out your undergrad and grad? It's called gerrymandering. State legislators particularly in red states will merge heavily blue districts(typically urban areas) and merge them with heavily red districts(suburbs/rural) in order to water down the blue voters. You can actually see this with the last round of House elections where if you tally up all the congressional district votes in the nation, there are actually more votes for Democrats yet thanks to gerrymandering Republicans have the majority.

 

Now on to your "Why are we always moving from one crisis to the next" question.

It's called 24/7 news cycles injected with never ending social media. Every swinging dick has an opinion and now every swinging dick's opinion can be heard. So even the smallest of issues that would have never been "major scandels" decades ago are plastered everywhere and analyzed by joe shmoe who has no ****ing clue what he is talking about.

 

White trailer trash vote Republican also.

 

From my understanding, no where in the Constitution does it state that a poor individual's vote should be worth less than a rich individual's vote. If you can find any reference to that line of thinking in the Constitution please quote it, but if you can't then what you suggest is against the Constitution thus, since you are a right winger, against your holy book.

 

I believe eddie is an Indian-American...

 

I believe that my statement still stands true. The Constitution does not distinguish between poor and rich voters. They each share the same worth in terms of representation....theoretically of course.

 

Are you really unaware of how ignorant and bigoted your views are?
