Because he brought so much hope and change in his first term. He ended the PATRIOT Act, protected civil liberties, ended our futile wars in the Middle East, supported gay rights, gave all Americans access to affordable health care, closed Guantanamo, ended torture, ended warrantless wiretapping, fixed the economy, etc, etc, etc

We're talking about a country that had to ban extra-large portions from the largest fast food restaurant to get people to stop overeating.

Because Obama is a bad president. I wanted change too.
Ron Paul would end the unconstitutional prohibition of drugs. He would save billions of dollars and thousands of lives.

War and corporatism will never end.
The free market needs corporations for the economy to prosper, and the economy needs war to boost government spending.
There is a reason why economic and baby booms always follow after we have ceased fighting devastating war. Happened in WWi, WWII and Vietnam, and it will probably happen after the Long War has ended.

American revolution ended war and corporatism for a good while.
Corporatism refers to corporations having a role in government, which only possible due to statism.
That's just the broken window fallacy

Maybe he hasn't done much, but it's better than fucking shit up for 8 years straight. He's taken some major steps in the right direction, at least.

Obama has continued bush's policies. That's why we don't like him. I think bush may be the worst president ever. @previous (J)

Why do you retards blame it on Obama? The congress is just as much responsible for the continuation of Bush's policies as Obama is, if not more so.

Head of the State mean anything to you? Yes Obama inherited major problems from the Bush era, but he's done next to nothing to fix or 'change' anything.

Study some US government, Ks. There are 3 branches- Congress, president, and supreme court. They're supposed to check each other. The Congress can shut down pretty much ANYTHING Obama wants to do. An uncooperative Congress renders a promising president useless. It's happened before, it'll happen again. But it isn't his fault. Don't tell me he's done "next to nothing". He couldn't, man.

He had the house majority for the first two years. Furthermore besides Obamacare what the hell has he tried to do?
Its all the same old shit, different president.

House majority? Okay, but the Senate is a fucking Huge part of Congress. More important than the House, actually. Also, Obamacare counts as like ten things because it's so needed.
I know you're cynical, but I just don't understand how someone could throw Obama in the same pot as the rest of those old fuckers. He's not ideal, sure, but he's better than any republican nominee at all ever.
I'm sure you have nasty things to say about Bill Clinton, too. Humph.

I dunno, am I supposed to say "well at least he hasn't fucked shit up"? Thinking about it I guess that is a good thing. But goddamn, is that how low our expectations have come? America has so many problems... and while we're all busy not doing a damn thing about 'em shit is only getting worse.
