How could you hate Obama?

[cwalk1950]

Im watching his town hall and i really dont understand how people muster up so much hate for him. I mean i dont agree with all of his policies but the guy ispolite, charismatic, meek, and all that other good stuff. It really blows my mind. I mean he has done nothing to warrant so much hate. Does anyone on NTdislike him, if so tell me why, make me understand.

 

[ninjallamafromhell]

I hate all politicians as I believe that their hearts don't pump blood, but instead pump a greasy, viscous liquid that is really pure evil. Obama is justanother politician to me.

 

[biggie62]

Because he promised people things he can't and won't ever deliver.

You vote for someone for their policies/actions not their personality.

all that stuff is fine and dandy when describing the person, but when he makes policies (amongst other things) that effect you in the pockets etc...all those"characteristics" which make him a "swell" guy on a personal level, don't mean !***.

When will people realize this doesn't make somebody a good president?

The man is merely a puppet for Big Business.

I don't see how one could hate him, but I could see how some dislike him, myself included.

Look at it this way....a history lesson for you...

- Jesus was hated
- Buddah was hated
- Caesar was hated
- Confucious was hated
- Ghandhi was hated
- Napolean was hated
- Abraham Lincoln was hated
- MLK was hated
- JFK was hated
- Mao Zedong was hated
- Mother Teresa was hated
- Pope John Paul was hated
- Hitler was hated
- Saddam Hussien was hated
- Michael Jackson was hated
- Elvis Pressley was hated
- Tookie Williams was hated


.....whether or not they were good or bad people or what good or bad things they have done in history----They got their share of hate----and all the criticism,and condemnation didn't stop them from doing what they do----and most importantly, garnering their respect by their following, whether they criticized themor not..... point is... look where Obama and other people of power are at compared to their critics.


At the end of the day....people will always "hate" regardless of what you do....but at the end of the day, they got their respect---point blank.

 

[atlien seeko]

That's disgusting.

How could you like/love him? It's not like you know him personally. Look at the history of bad that the US have done, and then think about "Howcould you hate Obama?" again. I bet you'll reconsider that question...

And for the record, I dont hate Obama, I'm just saying.

No way did you just compare Obama to Jesus. I mean I ain't a devout Christian by any sense of the meaning as I'm more agnostic than anything else. But seriously....

This dude just compared obama to jesus

Hitler was hated. So was Mussolini. Oh and Stalin, Nixon, Pinochet, and Menem were hated too.

My urge to derail this thread is muy fuerte. I will resist though.

 

[cwalk1950]

None of you have offered reasons why you dislike him, i understand that he is a politician and that comes with a certain amount of distrust but to me he seemsto have the characteristics you would want a president to have, regardless of his politics. And no i dont love him, i just dont understand how you can hatethe guy.

When will people realize this doesn't make somebody a good president?

Well, they didn't in 2008. Hopefully they will in 2012.

you guys are so stupid...he's saying that these people had their own followings AND their own haters...

yall are some illiterate mutha's...

 

[neptunebeats187]

Well... this can only go sour.


All I am going to say is.. I am sure the man didn't live up to some of his policies yet, but I am sure if he could have he would have us all sitting fineand dandy and debt free. I am not a guy big on politics at all... I'll go that road maybe when I am in my 30s or so. But w/e healthcare, or job securityobligations he failed to meet I'm sure he just had no control. He wants the best for us at the end of the day I believe. Some people just toss this man tothe fire without even giving him a chance. Some are still salty and will never even give dude a look. Is there a list of cons that greatly out-weighs his pros?Can someone provide that for me?

Every public figure has those that dislike them and those that are fans.
It's neither here nor there.
